“The problem with film making as a business is that’s it’s art. The problem with film making as art is that it’s a business.”

Or words to that effect. I heard Charlton Heston say it years ago.

“Creativity is secondary now to corporate profits.”
I bet she asks for as much money as she can get.
Never saying ‘hmm. I don’t need another million’

The photo posted at the article link shows she could do horror films as the crazy lady.

Exactly! She was too full of herself, as are so many others.

The only new TV and film stuff I watch is on Netflix from Korea or a few from Japan. Yes, they are in Korean or Japanese with subtitles but I don’t mind the subtitles, as most of the translations could be absolutely used for very good English language dialogue and it would still be a good presentation. Most of the acting is superb as are the stories. Have not been to a U.S. cinema in ages and the only U.S. movies on my DVR are some old classics and some modern great ones (none newer than 2010). Most “TV” on cable I watch are the “retro” channels (1950’s, 60’s, 70’s TV shows) and sports.

I highly recommend this awesome YouTube video:

Why Every Film Today Looks the Same

A video essay about the directing style that has dominated cinema since the 1970s: Intensified Continuity.

Intensified Continuity is marked by fast cuts, over predominance of close shots, lens length extremes and constantly moving cameras.

She could retire and keep making films. That’s what DeNiro has been doing for 25 years.
