Who cares? It's refreshing enough that a few status quo FSMers on this isolationist, elitist side of the forum now know who Blackhawk is. It's also refreshing that there is discussion going on that doesn't involve "lousy customer service", dented booklets, the irrational hatred of Digipaks, and the hand-wringing terror wrought by a cracked jewel case.
Those are Blackhawk's nemeses. Way to spoil.

You won't recognize them after the PC/SJW brigades are done with them.
...though I can understand if today's "more sophisticated audiences" can't handle "Chop Chop."

Ke Huy Quan is still available, right? He could play Blackhawk, and get Mark Rylance to play a mo-cap "Chop Chop". The Bearded One can make it work.

Was it a written test?
Duh, he had to write down many notes, of course. And judging from the photo at the recording sessions John Williams judged him to be fit as well.

It's the amount of music, Kev. While a sparse score isn't necessarily less challenging, it's no doubt less work. I just can't picture an 86-year-old churning out wall-to-wall-scored action flicks.
Have you seen The Last Jedi?

This coming from the biggest blowhard triggered manchild who has ever dared to show his face on the internet. You're perfectly content with dishing it out and laying down verbal abuse upon anyone who angers you and wants nothing to do with you but as soon as somebody picks it up and throws it back at you you call the Connecticut police like the little bitch that you are.
This is the fundamental problem with your attitude: you put yourself on a high pedestal and believe that you're a saint for calling people out for their shortcomings, but it falls flat because you completely lack any self-awareness or humility when doing so. You think that by being a constant melting pot of negativity and attacking the person rather than the opinion that it will somehow provide the change you wish to see in others when in reality it has the opposite effect. It only makes people resent you and dismiss anything that you say because you're completely unable to see how much of a hypocritical bully and elitist you sound before you post. Your pathetic feud with Thor (all for what? Because he has different opinions from you?) has been an ongoing problem for years and you knew he'd already put you on ignore a long time ago (nevermind 3/4 of the entire board) so it's obvious that you're not posting to try to better shape his opinions but to jerk off your sensitive ego -- like your past history going after Christian Clemmensen's family completely unwarranted, or when I private messaged you over your continued harrassment of me on this board and then you posted those private messages on Gamingforce for you and your buddies to laugh at just because I had the gall to demand that you stop engaging with me. You're not in this horse race to better society as much as you'd like to think you are -- you keep complaining that "my rake is lined with jerks trying to pick a fight" because you keep instigating said fights with your steamrolling arrogance.
So now that you're no doubt mad for the 547th time so far this year for having to read something you didn't like, you can choose to either get triggered and screencap this for the cops (I really don't give a shit if you do but I have printed evidence of you bullying me from years ago if I need to provide it to them), or you can put on your big boy pants, learn how to handle criticism better, and deal with it effectively from this point on and seek mental health treatment / anger management. I get that it's difficult to find therapy for mental health issues in your country since the lack of facilities there is what enabled psychopaths to elect a manbaby for President but you need to at least try.
(another aspect of your character that you need to work on: apparently you changed your username at Gamingforce to "Misogynist Gynecologist", because to you being sexist is funny somehow?)

I don't understand Spielberg fans who find Tintin lacking.
Well then you don't understand me!
Honestly, I could just never get into it. I never connected with the characters, and I just don't think action scenes in all CG films are very exciting (there's no sense of actual danger), so without character engagement, there's really nothing to keep my interest. (At the climax of "Toy Story," it's not the "action" of Woody and Buzz strapped to a rocket that keeps me excited, it's that I really want the toys to forgive Woody and for them to join forces and be reunited with Andy. Nothing in "Tintin" engaged me that way.) I didn't hate "Tintin," but I was relieved when it was over.
I'm a Spielberg admirer, but the inevitable insulation of his incredible success has not helped his films. While the worlds of "Jaws," "Close Encounters," and "E.T." were completely credible, well observed slices-of-life before the aliens and sharks showed up, a film like "Ready Player One" suffers (to me) because the outside-the-game world feels every bit as fake and contrived as the virtual one, and "The BFG" takes place in a fantasy London even before the giant appears. A friend of mine was on the set of "Hook" (obviously, many years ago), and in the scene on the airplane, Spielberg asked him if this is what planes were like now, because he'd flown exclusively private for so many years. It's not surprising that he'd lose that connection.
So like Thor, I've preferred his smaller films of late. While I thought that both "Bridge of Spies" and "The Post" suffered occasionally from an overly studied style, I found them vastly more satisfying than the fantasies he's done in the last several years.
That said, I'm wide open to eating my words when it comes to "Blackhawk."
At the risk of contradicting my previous post, I have to agree with Schiffy on Tin Tin, and to a lesser extent, The BFG.
With the former, it wasn't just the MoCap CG that took me out of the film, it was the writing. Way too much of that film was telling the audience instead of showing, a shock coming from a filmmaker as good at visual storytelling as Spielberg. And as Schiffy points out, the action sequences were lacking - visually busy and lacking dramatic stakes.
For the latter, it had moments of true beauty and delight, and the intelligent sentiment of Melissa Mathison's writing. But, again, the MoCap CG was rather distracting. And the less said about the climax, the better (yes, I KNOW it's a fairy tale. It still felt over the top).
I've yet to see Ready Player One. I'm hopeful it isn't as distracting, as the VR game world in that film is supposed to look the way it does.
And, I was pleasantly surprised at how restrained The Post was in its telling of that story, which could've have been overly earnest and preachy, but wasn't at all.
