No apologies necessary, bruh. *fist-bump

I don't believe you to be dense, but how many times are you going to ask me to aswer the same question? Yes, his opinions made a lot more cents. I don't think anyone's opinions are "better", but some people are better at doing things than other people. Wiseau is better at making money in film...

You took my words out of context. And that kinda makes discussion difficult, doesn't it? It's nearly impossible to come to a place of understanding or progress when the person you are talking to mis-shapes your words.

Yes. I don't know how to make myself any more clear on this subject. We are in the business of making money. The people who make the most money are the people you should listen to for advice. Why is this not obvious to everyone? My expertise is the restaurant industry. I've run restaurants that...

It's not you, it's me. I just need a little space. You can sleep on the couch tonight. I'm taking the dog. Don't call me.

I work in the service industry, and I'm very good at my job. It's my job to put smiles on people's faces, and I've made a lot of money doing that. I ain't no asshole. I'm not saying that filmmakers are assholes. I'm saying that too many of us don't take the time to stop and smell the roses. This...

Aight, I guess it's time for me to burn the house down and then walk away. You're relatively new around here so I guess you don't know how ruthless I can be. Why don't you have your name listed in your public profile? Why can't I find any info about you? What are you hiding? How many of the...

:lol: Well done, sir. Well done.

Oh, well I guess you should be thanking me for sharing that news with you. Cuz it is. Congrats. Except, the real measure of success is making money with a film production. I think we can at least agree on that.

Maybe they mine data from IMDB, but I'm not really talking about me, I'm talking about my movie. I can tell you, from first-hand experience, that it is incredibly difficult to get a tiny-budget feature film on Rotten Tomatoes. I hate braggarts just as much as everyone else, so I feel guilty...

I JUST told you. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get on Rotten Tomatoes? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a theatrical release? I did those things. On the tiniest of budgets. I didn't just achieve my goal; I surpassed it. And you can do it, too. And yes, those awards...

Y'all are a bunch of liars, just admit it, lol. I ain't exactly a spring chicken and I've been on some pretty big productions on both coasts. I've met and worked with some filmmakers who truly loved what they were doing, and sadly, those people are the minority. Most of y'all walk around with...

Wait, pizza for lunch every day is a complaint?! Hahahahaha, please sign me up for the job where I get pizza for lunch every day! :P

That's my point. I have already stated in this thread that my films have made zero dollars. "Birdemic" and "The Room" made lots of dollars. I don't know how to make myself anymore clear about what I'm trying to say. But yeah, my debut feature film, made on a budget of less than 10K, got an...

Lol, just to be clear, I know that you were just having fun right now, IT. I wasn't ACTUALLY offended. Yes, I've got beer in hand. No, I'm not drunk. . . . . YET!

Not yet but I'm working on it! And I'm kinda offended by the insinuation.

Addendum to the addendum: No, I actually know quite a few filmmakers who are very vocal about hating production. Y'all are a bunch of liars if you pretend this isn't a thing.

*addendum I just figured out why I have this different perspective. Most of my professional career has been in the restaurant biz. It's my job to smile at people, so I've become very good at that. You don't need to smile at people to be a good director of photography or to be a good makeup...

I guess I should clarify. I'm specifically referring to production. I know quite a few filmmakers who HAAAATTTEEE production. I happen to love production. It's my favorite part of the process. That's when I get to play pretend with all of my cast. But I've been on quite a few of other people's...

Lol, lots. I'm an award-winning filmmaker. I feel weird saying that, but it's technically true. I'm kinda good at pointing cameras at people. :D
