Ben Affleck says the first cut of a movie is usually so bad it makes him question everything.
“When I see the first cut of my own movie, I want to kill myself.”
“90% of the time, you watch it and think, ‘Okay, we’ve got a long way to go.’”
“Making a movie is a very iterative process. A lot of the work happens after filming ends.”
“Sometimes you have to sit with the editor and explain exactly why a scene is supposed to be funny.”
“What’s obvious to you isn’t always obvious to someone else.”
“You have to explain the joke, the callback, the surprise, and why a certain take works.”
“People think there’s some magic to editing, but a lot of the time editors just need feedback.”
“Film isn’t like writing a novel. It’s collaborative.”
it's kind of funny how this scene was very clearly written to make AJ look like a pretentious dick but in hindsight... yeah, he was one hundred percent right, SBC is basically the fucking devil
The term woke has become so bastardized, the fact that it started as a term from african american culture that meant being aware of racial and social injustices and now it’s used to describe anything that’s slightly inclusive because right wingers changed its meaning is upsetting
