Huh… so without Danny DeVito, we may have not gotten Pulp Fiction. What a legend 🔥

I just wanted to say thanks. I’m a director who recently completed my first feature after 5 years of hard work and even with that completed, I'm still going through distribution rejections, frustrations, and burnout. I’ve been following your videos for several months now and it’s been very therapeutic listening to stories of other directors who also had it rough. It’s like I’m being told, “You’re not alone.” Thank you again for all your videos.

I'm glad that you've found them helpful. If it took you five years to do your first feature, then you're in the same boat as David Lynch. It took him 5 years to make Eraserhead, working on and off as the money ran out. Christopher Nolan was doing corporate videos and shooting Following for a year before he got it done. Many great directors take a long time to get their first movie done, but the first is always the hardest. The fact that you actually completed a feature puts you ahead of most everyone else.

@@Syntopikon Thank you again. I'm also fascinated by stories of first time directors. I just hope it actually does get easier from here.

Have you tried offering your services that is sexual in nature? Hollywood loves that

Great video as always. Blade Runner seems to make it in so many of your essays. lol

@Syntopikon Ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah lol. I'm finally seeing Blade Runner on the big screen in just a little over a week. Been waiting for this moment for years.

I cant see Lucas doing Apocalypse now, actually he would probably giving up on directing anything else after doing it.

Interestingly, he considered making Tatooine a jungle planet before making it a desert planet. But after he sent Gary Kurtz to scout the Philippines for the jungle environment, he figured that it would be very uncomfortable so he went with the desert instead.

Great video as always, but a minor correction on the film rights to Flash Gordon: Dino DeLaurentiis didn’t acquire the rights to make his movie until after Star Wars hit. He sub-licensed the live action film rights from Filmation, who got the rights to the character in the wake of Star Wars being a big hit with the intention of making an animated TV movie (later a Saturday morning cartoon).

I didn't realize Danny DeVito helped Pulp Fiction so much. Every time I read about him it underscores what an amazing person he is.

@Syntopikon Ай бұрын

Yup. It’s kind of the same with Kevin Smith and Good Will Hunting

I always liked 1941 when I was a kid, didn't even realize it was a flop till much later. I saw it at the theater a couple of times and a bunch of times when it was on cable seemingly every day. I think it gets a bad rap because it wasn't a blockbuster like Jaws, and the plot was a bit messy, but I remember it as a fun, madcap comedy.

@Syntopikon Ай бұрын

And that’s what it was supposed to be. Studios were a bit harsh regarding expectations for Spielberg, though I think his going over budget and time had something to do with it. With Jaws, he went something like 100 days over the shooting schedule lol

Rich gotta rich. 💪😎✌️ Obviously, Didnay, Zon, and Hollywon't are GENIUSES. They're perfect. They know exactly what they're doing with "Snow White", "The Acolyte", "The Witcher", "Borderlands", "She Hulk", "Indiana Jones", "Willow", etc. Clearly! Just remember: the rich know best.
