   I understood them just fine. Even quoted back to you what I   
   was referring to.

   Not thinking an alternate timeline is a "disguise" is hardly   
   failing to understand something.

   They keep hiring him because his films keep making money.   
   It's really as simple as that. His films make money because   
   a large number of people like them and go see them even   
   though you may not.

   He is not in charge and repeatedly saying so does not make   
   it true.

   You have no idea what the difference between a fact and an   
   opinion is. Next you'll be telling me to get off your lawn.
