Comments on: Ron Howard To Direct Aztec Drama ‘Conquest’ For Showtime https://staging2.theplaylist.net/ron-howard-to-direct-aztec-drama-conquest-for-showtime-20120731/ Sun, 22 May 2016 03:51:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.5 By: littleraf https://staging2.theplaylist.net/ron-howard-to-direct-aztec-drama-conquest-for-showtime-20120731/#comment-116671 Sun, 22 May 2016 03:51:30 +0000 http://www.indiewire.com/2012/more/uncategorized/ron-howard-to-direct-aztec-drama-conquest-for-showtime-251393/#comment-116671 So the author is shaky on Ron Howard directing not because he's not a great filmmaker, but because they're scared there won't be gratutious violence, sex and other prurient fluff?
Nice to know that great storytelling does;'t matter a lick compared to fake blood, and tits.
The "edgy" formula you're demanding has been used in EVERY freaking show on cable from Rome to Game of Thrones to whatever!
All anyone wants is a story. I don't give a rip if there's not one sex scene or gory death. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Jesus, and these are the critics encouraging this nonsense. At least we know why so much of what's on TV is repetitive, nearly unwatchable, stupid crap.
