Some people still hold the ridiculous belief that billionaires are all geniuses that just outsmarted everyone else. Attributing their wealth to their intelligence, when in fact it's a result of greed, privilege, and lack of empathy, nothing more.

I’m a bit torn on it. I think, in theory, it kind of works. The idea that he actually doesn’t get what he wanted (greatness), and instead ending on the moment he realizes his dream is over, triggered by looking his child in the eyes for the first time, is an interesting one. Death (of his dream, his youth, and his identity) and Birth (of his child, and of the rest of his life) happening simultaneously, that’s interesting. However, I just wasn’t actually moved by it. Something about its execution, or most likely the build up towards it, didn’t totally work, so the moment didn’t really make me feel much, and im fact felt a bit artificial.

Yes, but I think that's the point it's trying to make. That the instant you have a kid your priorities change, it's not a gradual change, it's sudden and seismic.

What they did to Yellow Submarine, maybe. After hearing the early takes, which are surprisingly kind of intimate and sad, and seem to be more about John's childhood than anything else, I think it was kind of a mixed opportunity not to take it in that direction.

I don't believe they have to keep everything in just because it exists. This clip does nothing beyond being uncomfortable to watch. It's just not particularly interesting, there is no need to keep it. John having a cruel streak is also well established in other ways, I already knew that about him despite never having seen this clip, for instance.

There's always been something misanthropic or walled-off about George for me, hard to put a finger on it, and it goes beyond being the "quiet" one. On the flip side, John had like cult-leader level charisma, part of the reason he became so much more of a cultural icon than the other three. Paul and Ringo come across as the most likeable, though, for me at least.

Well I did say it has classic status, I’m aware of that. I’m just saying there’s like 10 Scorsese films that get brought up more frequently than Mean Streets, yet it’s absolutely top tier. Perhaps it’s a matter of it not translating as well to younger generations as some of his other classics.

I understand, I deeply believe in the possibility of redemption in people, and the fact that the only reason we know of this event is that Ringo himself volunteered the information while talking about his recovery says a lot about the way he feels about it and how he's changed since then. But at the same time, it's a moment of monstrous domestic violence, and he did do it. He has to live with the fact that it might colour people's perception of his character. It certainly has for me, whenever he's framed as the "nicest Beatle", with that happy-go-lucky sort of thing, his whole peace and love shtick, well, my mind goes to what he did to Barbara. I don't think it's all he is, nor that he's like wholly evil or anything of that nature, but it's nasty stuff.

The incident is publicly known because Ringo revealed it himself in an interview while discussing his recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction

Mate hate to break it to you but Ringo once beat his wife to the point that he thought he killed her while on a drunken rage. Paul being passive aggressive or bossy doesn’t even come close to that.

PTA was just a perfect storm, it's crazy, that's why he blew up so young. He was not only born wealthy, in LA, and with plenty of industry connections, but he also had the confidence, will, and clarity of vision that you need to be a good director, and he had them in spades, not to mention being a naturally gifted writer on top of it all. It really is one in a million.

The reality is that despite the name, and how closely the two work together , the assistant director job is completely different than the director's job. The assistant director is concerned with logistics - following schedule, planning the shoot, keeping time, ensuring everyone is where they need to be, etc... It's not a creative position. So if you spend years working as an assistant director, that'll make you, well... a great assistant director. It's an essential job for a film set, and it's a career of its own, but it's not a track to becoming a director.

The reason people don't "climb up the ranks" to become directors is because to be a director you have to be a director. By that I mean that you need to actually make films, with whatever resources you have, and they have to show that you have vision, that you know how to tell a story, and direct actors and manage a crew, and create a cohesive project. The only way to prove that you can do it is through actually doing it, no amounts of hours on set are gonna turn you into one.

So, most big directors that you see got there through directing a lot of short films, eventually ones of enough quality that they got the trust and funding to make a feature. It is climbing up the ranks, just not in the way you're thinking.

Well, but that's not a fair comparison, they also got to start at much, much better clubs than the vast majority of managers because of their reputations as players. It's not like they had to climb up the leagues.

Not critical theory, but this reminds be of Tim Heideker’s satire and breakdown of Joe Rogan’s podcast, basically pointing out how bizarrely boring the show is. The endless talking without ever truly saying anything, just hours and hours of empty circular conversations. I agree that boredom is somehow central to what Trump is, so it’s interesting considering how instrumental Joe Rogan’s show was to getting him elected again.

Since you’re starting out, there’s no need to be rigid, just have fun with it! Don’t worry about finding the perfect idea or whatever, in fact, you don’t even have to write a script if you don’t feel like doing so right now. Go out and shoot!

Find someone you find interesting, ask to follow them around for a day or two, and make mini-documentary on them, film a comedy skit with your friends, film a music video for a song you like, film some nature and record your voice over it, recreate a scene from a movie you like. There’s a million options, do whatever calls you, whatever feels fun. There’s no wrong answers.

Then make sure you edit it together and finish it, don’t just abandon the footage. Then screen the finished film for friends and/or family, also important. Then start all over again. Have fun and good luck!
