All of those things are totally understandable to me (no one else tried to call her either, including her current boyfriend, because everyone knew she was missing, the car thing could easily be a coincidence and is the kind of thing I did all the time as a dumb trusting teenager, my mom was murdered 14 years ago and I…

Sorry, I meant car, not body. Regardless, he's the only person actually tied to the crime by something other than his story. He's had a history of violence against women since. It seems like the simplest and most likely explanation is he killed her and tried to pin it on Adnan when the police came to question him. …

Just curious. Why do you think probably? It seems just as likely that Jay did it alone or with someone else and threw Adnan under the bus. Adnan did it maybe, but I'm not aware of any actual evidence against Adnan other than Jay's testimony (the only person we KNOW was involved, because he knew where the body was).

Nah, sometimes we actually have real evidence that proves a person is actually guilty. It's not hammering away at a point to uncover the fact that it was never actually proving what they pretended it was at the time.

If you can't do what you want in the budget, you raise more money. It's how movies are made and why major blockbusters often have insanely elaborate financing schemes and endless lists of producers in the credits.

Finding more money is part of staying within the budget.

In a film that takes place entirely in one house, if the director didn't push for the right one, they were incompetent.

I think Jason is being edited to look like a problem and it is obviously working here. I ask again, what has he done wrong, besides want different choices for his movie and stick to his guns? Did Effie ever try to get more money so that the director could get what he wanted? I think Jason sensed, correctly as it…

What evil things have you seen Jason do that I missed? He wanted film. Effie said no, everyone else said maybe. He stuck with what he wanted and got it. That's what a director does. He compromised on a location he didn't love because the deadline he was given was approaching (he didn't go past it). He hasn't yet…

Completely agree with these two assessments. Feast is the best movie yet though.

Not that one, but the next two are.

No one called her a drama queen. That would have been a gendered insult, but it didn't happen. I have been called dramatic many times in my life (I am a male), usually when I, like Effie in this situation, was acting dramatically.

What a weird reply. We're all responding to the editing. That's all we've been shown. But, other than the tirade at the end of the last episode, the editing has been to make her seem competent and the director seem "difficult:, not the other way around. In spite of the editing and Effie herself repeatedly telling…

I agree with all those things but don't think they are because he is being difficult. I don't see how any of the cast problems are his. He kept giving more choices until somebody said yes, now there are contract issues. That's how it goes. All of these things are only problems because they are arbitrarily sticking…

He is lucky to be there, and I think they were stupid to pick him, but now he's the director of this film, and he should be treated as such. And actually, since the ridiculous interview, I don't think he's behaved horribly at all. He keeps saying what he wants and Effie only says no back. Anytime what he wants…

Very well said.

Or he could have been implying that this specific person, who just behaved in an incredibly dramatic way, loved drama. You know like he said.

Did you watch this episode? That is not what the argument was about. Peter was not pushing for shooting on film, he was trying to help get Jason comfortable with video. Peter was actually on Effy's side. The argument was all about her thinking he was stepping on her toes and was literally about nothing but power.

Exactly. And that is how she has treated him from the beginning, as someone who is lucky to be there and should be happy to do whatever she tells him, not as a director.

I don't think he was talking finance in that part. He was saying he's not used to these business over artistic decisions because his parents always supported his artistic ambitions (as in were supportive of whatever he did, not paid for it).
