His reasoning for turning down LotR and Matrix was that he didn't really understand the source material. Which is valid, IMO.

His wikipedia page reads like an obituary

I mean ... he is dead. But I think it reads too negatively for an obituary, those don't usually spend that much time on missed opportunities and failed projects.

If I had a nickel for every time The League of Extaordinary Gentlemen ended someone's career, I'd have two nickels! Which isn't much but it's weird that it's happened twice!

And if I had a pound for every time I confused Norrington with Connery, I'd have.. I'd have... well I'd have nothing since I would be taking a single pound from myself. Why have you done this to me now
