You probably shouldn't tweet while watching a movie for the first time

So far it's by far the best, but if there is only one more episode I don't think there's enough focus on post. We'll see. My guess is they won't render a verdict on the movie via test screenings and such because HBO is showing the movie shortly after, and wants curiosity

If every film was approached that way, the viewers would be better off. Even if it's just a soda ad, make it your life's mission. In fact this applies to most work, not just movies.

Conspiracy theory: the show and film secretly has a bigger budget, and all those locations were locked down so they could have him make a pick at the last minute. OR as the review suggests, it's been trickily edited

But he WAS in the process, admitted on TV by him, of killing half the population from the air. Just because things didn't turn out wonderful afterwards doesn't mean a no fly-zone was a bad idea

No, it's because she's not supposed to be the leader. She has to watch the budget, yes, voice her concerns, absolutely, but it's the director's job to be the leader on the set, and everybody else's job to try their hardest to get things done the way he or she wants it. This is like if Jonathan Ive ran around at Apple…

I wasn't talking about final cut, but pushing your movie through the system, which inarguably is the reason we have Star Wars or Blade Runner, the latter only being recognized by critics and fans when the director's cut came out. Orson Welles self-financed almost his entire career and his post-Kane studio productions…

But also the movies that got them those opportunities? Which movies do you love where directors didn't push their ideas through? Wizard of Oz, maybe, but that's about it

That's what they said about Orson Welles. No comparison, obviously, but a director trying to get his way is how good movies are made. The end result may be bad, but without sticking to your guns you will never make anything of value. There's something old-school about watching a director trying to make something he…

Back in school, when the teachers told us about bullying, it was not seen as a reasonable response to point out that some were deserving of their lives being destroyed forever. The entire fundament of our systems of justice is the presumption of innocence until prover guilty, and a terrifying amount of people are…

The amount of internet commenters pissing on a director for wanting to do things his own way makes me think we deserve the movies we get

A better way to satirize what Roth is talking about is replacing the ice bucket challenge with something dangerous or humiliating, and for different reasons, like attention seeking, or fear of being seen as not caring about the charity, people do these insane things, with horrifying consequences that continue even…

Loved both movies, so what are some other movies that follow these patterns? I'll watch them all

We're living in a strange time where it's completely unsurprising to me to see viewers take the side of the studio over a director with a vision, and I guess this is reflected by the kinds of movies that do well right now. His movie may end up being bad, but so far he's pushed what appears to be a very clear idea …

The guy got the script he was hired to shoot replaced with his own script, his own cast, on film and with an increased budget. If nothing else he's a political genius

If people start looking for clues for the ACTUAL background story in an episode about conspiracy theories, this episode would be even more legendary

Having never heard of the book, it sounds like a much better way to tell this story. An omnibus movie about several lives affected by what they see, then at the end the story of the guy who actually did it

Ironically, the candlelit rooms of Barry Lyndon can be easily captured by the Alexa with the right lens

" I’m not convinced he possesses that kind of political savvy. Besides, he’s already gotten just about everything he could hope for"
Isn't that a contradiction? Something tells me this guy knows what he's doing.

So now VFX and fairy tales are the big thing in TV, just like in movies. Walking Dead winning the ratings, GOT getting awards. No more smugness about TV being smarter than movies from now on
