    "Modify your expectations" ... I love that. You're never going to get everything you want, it's about compromise and collaboration. Being stubborn usually gets you nowhere fast. - Jay Thomas

    In other words if you have the money for an entire film? You can adhere to your vision. If you need somebody else's money? Compromise.

      Even if you have the money to self finance a film, it's intelligent to take on constructive criticism. Case in point Jenifer Lopez's latest self financed film where she surrounded her self with yes people. Same with George Lucas on the Staw Wars prequel trilogy. In the original trilogy, many people helped amend George's script which made it more watchable.

    There's compromise, then there's outright lying to your fans and the fans of an IP.
    Still waiting for that apology to Clownfish. They offered you a way where you didn't have to compromise, just honest. But you lied for months until the He-man show hit the streets then everyone realised you lied.

      @plaidchuck so if I talk about CNN it means I know them personally. Crispy. The guy is a shill just to put it lightly. He flushed his decades of credibility down the loo because the studios relied on his street cred to pass their agenda. People might have respected him more if he came out frank about it, but he shilled hard, so hard he couldn't hold his tears back.

  • @rieskorin2027
    @rieskorin2027 6 місяців тому

    I agree with Smith about just being into the stuff that interests you regardless of others opinions. However that model was fine when the studios and actors just did their job and didn't spew their entire thought process onto social media. They scream their agenda from the rooftops now and call their fanbases all the ists and phobes under the sun, before the project even hits the screens! Hell most of em feel it's their moral obligation to lecture the audience on whatever nonsense is in their heads just because they have a platform? With so much agenda in everything nowadays, of course the audience is gonna latch onto critics who will inform them of what a project has at it's heart before they waste cash seeing it. It's such a pity that the normies are even going there but still get stuck with mouthpiece sites like IMDB or Rotten Tomatos. Surprised a professional like Micheal goes to those sites when there are so many more honest outlets to hit up. Great talk 👍

      All of his stuff is insightful. But he tapered off probably around Red State. I think his last film was jay and silent bob revisited. And there was a horror movie with Jericho. Both of which i haven't seen, mainly because of distribution and some disappointment with his connection to Weinstein, not that I blame Kevin.
