That's kind of what I'm saying. Any director working for them has to be OK with the studio taking their movie and fucking around with it, they don't get to kick up a fuss.
That automatically excludes a whole bunch of really talented directors who actually might make something worth watching if the studio wasn't so meddlesome.
One of the problems Disney has is that they want total control over their movies so they only hire directors who will churn out product and not push back.
Those kind of directors seldom make good movies.
The original is a stone cold classic. The remake, not so much.
What a genuinely weird thing to do.
Trump fatigue is real.
The only news I want to hear about him is how much he lost by and how long his prison sentence will be.
Half the comments here are proving that people on the right aren’t the only ones who can indulge in stupid conspiracy theories.
It’s depressing as fuck.
No, you don’t understand, these guys are tech bros, they’re special, for reasons.
Maher is one of those older guys who thinks they figured everything out 30 years ago and doesn't need to try any more. The epitome of a lazy, entitled boomer.
Wild one but hear me out, we deport all the Republicans to Israel.
This is key:
"This does not mean most Israeli Jews became ideological right-wingers; they are not, polling suggests, fully committed to the project of expanding settlements or West Bank annexation. Mostly, they wanted Netanyahu and the right to keep them safe in a way that the left seemingly couldn’t. The prime minister, in recognition of this reality, campaigned first and foremost on security — earning the moniker, perhaps self-claimed, of “Mr. Security.”
Hamas’s attack on Saturday, a mass slaughter of Israeli civilians without precedent in Israeli history, exposed a basic contradiction in this image in the most agonizing way. Simply put, there is no way now to argue that the right-wing ideological project has delivered the security most Israelis crave."
I hope there are enough moderate Israelis out there who can push for a different approach because oppression, theft of land, and brutality isn't a way forward if the aim is to stop bloodshed from both sides.
Oh, I absolutely do not begrudge anyone getting a paycheck, we all need to eat.
I don't think any of the directors you mentioned would push back against studio interference though. There are directors who will trade control for a paycheck and there are ones who won't. The ones who won't often make more interesting movies.
