Exactly this. Good for him. |
| Director of Brutalist made some statements supportive of JB in his acceptance speech last night. |
I just watched his two speeches and found him very sincerw. He said, "The final cut tiebreak goes to the director." He also urged more support for filmmakers. I would think (and hope) that Hollywood generally would support a filmmaker because they have the technical tools to get the film to the screen. |

Men supporting men. Never change Hollywood! |
Also men and women supporting the people who keep the money coming in. A filmmaker who creates a successful movie that employs actors, technical crew, writers, and editors is generating millions. What jobs is Blake creating? Any actresses in her age group could play that part. |
Without a doubt that's what this scheme was. Trying to rehab her awful image while framing herself as a wholesome babe in the woods so she can launch some VC-fueled aspirational lifestyle brand. |
| She's now blaming the total failure of her shampoos and booze products is because of this. She is beyond shameless at this point. It's all so sad and pathetic. |
Nothing hurts women more than a woman fabricating sexual harassment claims for ulterior motives. |
No, that's really not true. That's not what hurts women the most. Men hurt women the most. Hands down. |
I believe you but looking for a link please. |

Links? I have not seen this. |
I am on the fence as to whether this comment was intended to address the Baldoni/Lively conflict or not. On the one hand it was one of the first things I thought of because obviously Baldoni lost the battle to release his cut of the film and if you set aside all the harassment/PR issues, it seems like he got screwed as a director in that situation. But Corbet's went on to talk about his movie and how a lot of people told him it was "undistributable" as it was edited because it is apparently 3.5 hours long and about a Hungarian architect. But he insisted on releasing that version and here it is being honored by the Golden Globes. So I think it's possible he was really just talking about his own experience and that debates with studios and distributors over the final cut of the movie are just incredibly common. I'll also note here that while I respect Corbet as a director, I don't 100% agree with him on this point. I haven't seen the Brutalist yet but I have extreme skepticism about a 3.5 hour movie. And also movie lengths have crept up and up over the last 20 years and the vast majority of these longer movies would be better movies if they were shorter. Directors are often insufficiently objective about their movies when it comes to the editing process and bringing in an editor to "tighten" up the film is not just about dumbing it down or meeting an arbitrary runtime limit. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings to tell the story. |
