The man who produced Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Adele explains why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies:

"The audience comes last. I'm not making it for them, I'm making it for me."

"When you make something truly for yourself, you're doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience."

"So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."

"Everything we make as artists are essentially diary entries."

Resharing this essay now more people have seen SINNERS - a movie with more layers, symbolism and nuance than some seem to realize. https://t.co/L3LF7DBbbL

Brad Pitt tells a story about Adam Sandler who once had an acting professor that told him he should have quit acting. Sandler, in his prime time, encountered him again and responded in the most incredibly gracious way.

The arc of Orson Welles' life is so insane
Cause alien invasion hysteria at 23
Direct greatest movie of all time at 25
Suffer decades of setbacks at the hands of moneymen who do not understand art
Run around Europe drunk as hell in a cape
Become a close friend of Kermit the Frog

As I've got the Xmas spirit, here's a FREE episode of VHS Quest, designed as a perfect jumping on point for new listeners, which explains the structure / weird quirks of the show, before talking about four of the best first-time watches I've had this year! https://t.co/uLI33DYAvg

Fuck, Smile 2 was so good I got goosebumps during the TITLE DROP (Gaspar Noé vibes). Naomi Scott is incredible (next-level sad-eyes), it's a smart script, shot well (those Junji Ito jumps really got me). Parker Finn, I'm starting to understand you now. A straight-up great movie.

[Sam Ashurst @samashurst]

@mattmaytum That's very kind of you to say, and it's hard to express how much it means to me - but, also, you're one of the very best people I ever worked with, at any title, and you'll succeed at whatever you choose to do next. Love you Matty x
