Movie 43. A candidate for one of the worst movies ever. Plus a whole slew of lowest common denominator 'comedies'

Terrible, terrible writer. Total hack & regular conspirator with "mystery box" JJ Abrams. Let me present the case against:

1) His "revisions" to the original script of 'Prometheus' completely ruined the story. 2) His script for 'Star Trek Into Darkness' was dumb as a box of rocks and totally unfitting for a Star Trek movie. 3) 'Cowboys & Aliens' and 'Tomorrowland' could both have been interesting original ideas, but again, he manages to simultaneously dumb down and overly complicate any script he works on. 4) And let's not even talk about the utter sham that was "not making it up as we go along, honest" Lost
