this post started on the paul scrahader thread but it evolved some here it is
about paul, met him very intesnse and he came up in that era which we worship, but they did consider themselves self important, heavens gate brought them down to earth
so he is a bit self important, he made up a lot of shit in auto focus out of thin air just because it would of served his story well
as much as i worship marty he is also very self important, he takes 100 plus million of the weinsteins money then gets mad that they have the nerve to ask him about the film
marty i love you, make small tiny low budget films, your creative enough , you dont need all that money you can make a film look great with just a fucking cam corder and the right actors
stop asking for huge amounts of money and then getting mad when people want a return in their investments.
speilberg can ask for it and so can james cameron because they have a track record that says that they will deliver
its show BUISNESS
why do you think some guys just say fuck it and make tiny films outside of hollywood, well most of them have no talent that is why but some the reason they do is because they dont want to deal with the studios and their notes
p.s somtimes the studio can save a artist when he becomes full of himself and he is about to come out with a pretentiouce peice of shit
remember one of those last episodes of larry sanders where phill mentions the type of sitcome he wanted to create , he described it note for note and to me it sounded like a piece of fucking boring artsy preteniouce shit that noone would watch EVER
So sometimes even the greats get a little self important , not that phill from larry sanders was ever great, but marty has had preteniouce ideas that sounded like shit in description
