[@luzoliveira9920]

The time he asks what important person the directors would like to have dinner with, and so Ryan says that at the moment he would invite his mother, and then the interviewer rudely says that nobody there knew her so Coogler had to pick another person, you can see how everyone at the table was uncomfortable. I mean, Bradley just had choose his teacher right before. What a disaster.

[@krille696]

What? Honestly, he's a good director but defintely not a "down to earth" guy.

[@twilightfades_7]

Leonardo Guerini You know down to earth means practical and realistic right? It also means, no illusions or pretensions. Basically Cuaron is someone who doesn't sugar coat things. He's very brutally and openly honest in his responses. I know down to earth sounds like the opposite but it isn't. I used to think down to earth meant humble or modest. I found out I was wrong.

[@blakeandcamp]

It's really great that Cuaron is able to admit that he didn't really want to make Great Expectations. The reality of Hollywood is that a lot of directors have to take projects like that in order to get the freedom that he now has to make films like Children of Men, Gravity, Roma.

this moderator is bad

[@paperchasindude6578]

True

[@jeffcampbell1963]

Amazing how he (Ryan) said his mom was his hero or admire not and host just through it away because he wanted someone that everybody knew haha....wow

[@itsrheachelle]

And Ryan had to laugh it off lol I know he wanted to something to him

[@jeffcampbell1963]

@@itsrheachelle right! You could tell everyone at the table was on edge of awkwardness. Lol

[@chrvatz]

I liked that Marielle Heller pointed out that Bradley Cooper spoke about his teacher (that no one knew either).

[@projectfashionworks9716]

Yorgos Lanthimos is such a great filmmaker.

[@xo0o0]

Bradley's anecdote on finding his passion for directing was really inspiring and the sense of curiosity was really relatable. I always look forward to this series, amazing intimate content.

[@matthewjohnson421]

Yorgos mentioning the Blue, White, Red trilogy, superb choice

[@natalie651]

Eh....

[@macwell]

I love Ryan Coogler's answers, but I also love how some of the other directors look a him as he's answering; not only as if it's incredulous that he's a director, but that he's done work to earn him a spot at that table.

[@susanagutierrez3966]

I'm here just for Alfonso, Lanthimos and Spike Lee.

[@JonathanElfving]

Just? That's like half the table, man.

[@arielpagliero9619]

Same, i could care less about the other guys

[@sensationalgaming6602]

Finally. Thank you. Now we just need the Actors and Actresses Roundtable and we will have made great progress

[@arshaddahlan]

Pretty sure they came out already

[@Mechanicalhumans]

Not the full episodes, no. @@arshaddahlan

[@sensationalgaming6602]

@@arshaddahlan Some other account managed to get a hold of their Actors Roundtable and uploaded it but THR didn't post it. And they definitely haven't posted the Actresses Roundtable. I aint watchin either until they put it up lol

[@YourBlackLocal]

Suprised they didn't put Spike Lee or Bradley Cooper in the title, could of got some extra clicks.

[@krille696]

Guess Galloway isn't the one writing the titles. He was so thirsty for Bradley to name drop some bad directors or to say why Beyonce dropped out. Fucker just wanted a clip he could clickbait.

[@dig2341]

The moderator improved a bit from past roundtables, but I still find his style of questioning awkward and uncomfortable. Is it just me or does it seem like he has a list of questions in his head and is focused only on getting through his prepared questions instead of letting some of the conversation flow naturally. I find it jarring how he jumps from one question to another, sometimes not even reacting to what a person just said.

[@UnpopularOpinion3000]

like he's just checking off his list

[@shaneth138]

I thought he's gotten drastically worse this year.

[@PhotonPnk]

I find his style of moderating the conversation way too confrontational. And he is trying too hard to force or control the direction of the discussion

[@HOJASECAfilms]

I love how the directors made this an amazing roundtable, working around Stephen Galloway terrible questions and rude attitude.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

Yes agreed

[@MortimerRictusgrin]

Cuarón always looks like child listening to his grandpa's stories, when someone else speaks. Wonderful!

[@austinjamesmink5521]

Spike Lee for new moderator

[@kfctwigs136]

How am I supposed to study for my finals now? THR, sweetie, I'll see you in court!

[@ricky93100]

You have finals right now? Lol

[@somewherelongago]

I would like to see a roundtable with Lars Von Trier trolling people for one hour straight

[@KennyMelan]

I think it's interesting how Yorgos' movies are really hilarious yet he seems so serious in interviews.

[@6EndlessNameless9]

​@@wood18netexample plz

[@6EndlessNameless9]

Just like the Coen Brothers. Watching their interviews, one can't say they made the big Lebowski

[@BGcam]

I love Spike for bringing up the CIA assassination of Lumumba. I would have liked to see a discussion of the current editorial control the Department of Defense has over all films involving military, and censoring anything that sheds inconvenient light on their activities. With Cooper doing American Sniper and Spike, Alfonso, and Coogler displaying knowledge of our history of empire building, I would have found that convo profoundly interesting.

[@nutauf7587]

I can't wait until Spike Lee writes a book about his life, so many juicy stories

[@begevt]

Oh yes, Ryan Coogler! Love him!

[@domonicdecoco2410]

5 under appreciated cinematic masterminds and then there’s Ryan Coogler

[@lillianasanchez5984]

Very good Mr. Galloway, considerably improved the way you moderated this roundtable. Good flow without interruptions. Thank you!

[@coachmo621]

I actually like the interviewer's calm demeanor....it makes everyone more relaxed..

[@MichelleRedSoul]

Mari seems like a blast! She seems like she would be like a better presenter than the British dude!!

[@shazigetssober2394]

This is the most naturally diverse roundtable that I've witnessed. It is beautiful.

[@karsonphillips9329]

I love the moment when the directors kind of took over the interview😂

[@ElenainMovieland]

I love how newbie Bradley is in this table💗

[@i_so_late]

1:29 I agree with that so much, there is no 'should' in art

[@projectfashionworks9716]

In response to Lee, I read that the studio wouldn't meet Beyonce's salary demands. Maybe Cooper didn't want to say that.

[@louischase122]

Eastwood made fun of Obama onstage at the rnc that why she pulled out

[@devinmichaelroberts9954]

Crazy to think Ryan Coogler once played against Marshawn Lynch in college football and now he's such an amazing director of huge Hollywood films.

[@stephaniec4114]

I need a part 2 with the directors just asking each other questions
