The following transcript is taken from a recent interview between Mr. Merritt and Marvel Cinematic Universe Producer Kevin Feige.

MM: Hi Kevin, thanks for making the time to chat.

KF: No problem, bro. We're 9 months into filming Infinity War so this car basically drives itself haha.

MM: Fantastic. So, I just saw Thor: Ragnarok...

KF: And you loved it?

MM: I wouldn't say that.

KF: You thought it was totally awesome and a really fun time?

MM: Well, I.....…

I don't care how good a movie is, if there are screaming children: I. WILL. HATE. IT.

Sean Baker does a good job capturing the feeling of this particular time and place, but building it around the most aggravating character in the movie (Halley) instead of the most interesting (Bobby) was a missed opportunity.

I will give the movie some credit for how it rolled out its plot. It's the kind of movie that seems uneventful while you're in the…

So. Here we are. 2016's superduper hero movies have come and gone. And I've seen them all. Now, I can say with certainty that somehow, some way, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the best of them all.

Yes. The best.

While Civil War blows more and more air into an air-balloon gone wild and spoonfeeds it's audience an argument about world politics, Batman V. Superman does the opposite. It pops the balloon before it's finished expanding and doesn't…

Batman is the greatest superhero because he is the only one who can be the focal point of a movie like this without coming off as preachy or obvious. The diversity and depth of the characters…

Criticisms people make about this movie that I hate.

Jack Nicholson plays himself, not The Joker.

Wow, what's it like being a close, personal friend of Jack? Tell me all about him.

This is a Joker movie with Batman.

Incorrect. Both get backstories, are developed, albeit Bruce in a more subtle way, and have a reason to interact with each other.

It's dated.

And something like Back to the Future, Jurassic Park or Spider Man isn't? Criticizing something for being dated is…

When I go to the cinema 60+ times a year, I’m partly doing it to join in on the overall film conversation and to follow the careers of my favorite directors or stories.

But the biggest reason I go is because I’m chasing a feeling. It’s a feeling I get when I hear a certain melody, meet a certain person or in the case of Lady Bird, see a certain movie. I don’t know how to describe the feeling other than…
