  1. Shrek and Shrek 2. More along the lines of Flower Moon, while not big-budget, major studio films like L.A. Confidential, Zodiac, Changeling and Moulin Rouge played in competition. It happened more often in the '70s. Apocalypse Now must be the last truly mammoth Hollywood thing to have done it.
  2. Don’t miss ‘To Leslie’ a small film with a giant heart. Andrea Riseborough gives the performance of the year, and Allison Janney, Marc Maron, Owen Teague, Andre Royo and Stephen Root are all incredible. Please go find this gem!
  3. Have you considered that maybe he wants to do normal shit like this with real directors instead
  4. Curious you focus on that given that the movie is a lot more ambivalent and ironic I feel. The Hollywood people may be unscrupulous capitalists but at least e.g. Shalhoub's character is honest about it where Barton is arrogant and delusional, never caring to listen to the "common man" he's supposedly the voice of - he doesn't back up his High Culture cred with any actual substance (that we get to see, IIRC), so how much is it worth in his case really? He's not a totally unsympathetic character but he definitely gets taken down a peg, and he has it coming.
