It's gonna be the normal employees, with both very mixed performances and very stressed employees. I didn't have a single free minute, every second I would have had to spend on that stupid performance is a second the cinema next door is not cleaned. And that's cumulative. Once, we had to let in people while the movie already started because of that, I couldn't finish cleaning even _with_ help.
And besides, the whole point of cinema is that the acting is already done. The whole art form and the associated businesses are built on that fact.

We get it, you don't like or understand how art works.

[@kevinsundelin8639]

It's not about having anyone pick it up. Art, especially a passion project like this, is about self-expression, not money.

Cameron and Coppola are two of my favourite directors who keep fascinating me more and more. Both seem genuinely invested in their craft and care about their products. It's inspiring, really. No opinion on them as people, purely from a person who enjoys film and its creative process

[@someidiot62]

Pretty good you mention the non personal thing considering Coppola’s association with victor salva

Am I the only one that thinks Charles' portrait is kinda fire though?

[@fran13r]

It is, but since he looks like a villain in it people are just memeing it since royalty bad

[@Bllue]

It is an amazing piece of art and portraiture. But the feelings it invokes are overshadowing that

Yes

Co-ppola, not Cop-pola.

Just imagine Christopher Walken saying it.

[@logandarnell8946]

very very specific and useless nitpick, there is basically no noticeable difference in these two pronunciations and the difference is likely caused by a difference in accent.

​@logandarnell8946 There is no harm in correcting an error. You wouldn't want your name pronounced incorrectly.

I like movies that are just kind of confusing but are a huge piece of art and is super precious to the maker. Looking at you, Mad God.

Rocky horror doesn’t require interaction, we just do it for fun

@@A_Person9228 Megalopolis doesn't require interaction either, I don't think it matters what the "live actors" lines are, they have to be static to match up to the recorded film. It's basically got to be a gimmick.
