Well, if that's true, I apologize.

Delightfully precious? I'm actually trying to avoid devolving into name calling and passive aggressive comments. We are just saying the same things back and forth. You see it your way and I see it mine. No hard feelings on my end. Not sure why that's being delightfully precious.

We can go back and forth on this stuff forever, but it's getting boring so I propose we just agree to disagree and keep watching the two different shows we are apparently watching.

I imagine it would have been different if he were given earlier deadlines, because he would have met them, just like he met the one he was given. And he didn't leverage it to get what he wanted. He kept looking until deadline for a location he wanted, then when the deadline came close, he settled for a location he…

But saying they couldn't do it because of law implies it was illegal to film at night. They couldn't do it because they didn't get the signatures. It's as simple as that.

He didn't balk at the deadline they gave him, he made it. It's not anticipating problems to say when decisions need to be made by, it's basic executive responsibility.

It's his responsibility to make those decisions within the deadlines set by the money people. Which he did. Honestly, most of the real issues in the production (beyond the personality conflicts) come not from Jason or Effie, but from the arbitrary rushed schedule set by HBO, presumably for the purpose of creating…

And he compromised by doing something else. What else do you mean by compromise? He was only ever offered one choice compromise, shoot on film or have more days, and he made his choice and never looked back. He didn't whine and fight to get both options, he picked one and moved on. When he was unable to do certain…

Yes, he kept wanting to see more locations for a movie that takes place in only one location, as any director would have. When they finally gave him an actual deadline, he compromised on a location he didn't love to meet the deadline.

They could have given him an earlier deadine. I'm sure things like these are about creating drama, but they spent days complaining to each other how long he was taking, then finally gave him a deadline, which he met. If they had just told him an earlier deadline from the beginning, we have no reason to think he…

There isn't a compromise? Oh that must be why the production shot down over those issues.

I didn't say those things were her fault. The person I replied to asked what he had compromised on. Those were all examples. Although the night shoots were not because of law but because they failed to get signatures from the neighbors, which seems like it might have been slightly in her wheelhouse.

Yep. She said it would be done his way and then immediately followed that by pointing out 2 things (other than the car flip, which she didn't mention until the meeting in front of the HBO exec the next day) they couldn't do. Then she went outside and complained to Joubert about how he wasn't grateful.

Jason's script, you know the one they are making. What a weird comment. His script that everyone involved agreed was better and decided to make. He chose a location before the deadline he was given, if they needed the decision earlier, they should have given him an earlier deadline. He has had no problems with…

The roller skating scene, the exterior night shots, the car crash… all things that were in the script the whole time but when it came time to do them he was told weren't possible. None of which Effie offered solutions or work arounds to. He substituted a pillow fight literally moments before they were supposed to…

It's funny how every person who worked on the movie thinks he was a great director but you, person on the internet, know he is a horrible director. He communicates easily with every member of the cast and crew, all of whom have nothing but good things to say about him now. We can disagree all day about who is at…

Yeah, it's weird that people are arguing otherwise since Effie herself keeps saying this. The fact that her actions contradict her words doesn't change the fact that she knows the line producer's job is to help the director achieve their vision within the budget.

We'll have to disagree about that. I think someone with no history of violence who once dated someone is less likely a murderer than someone else we know was involved with a history of violence. Again, I have personal life experience that affects my view. When my mom was murdered the police were determined my…

I think motive is very overrated as evidence. Even if someone hated someone else and told everyone that would listen they were going to kill them, that doesn't mean they did. I find motive especially meaningless if we assume anyone who ever dated anyone else automatically has motive to kill them. Most people say…

There was a ton more evidence in the OJ case.
