Batman knew all about his snow jobs, s'why he never left home without his bat credit card
If only she had the balls to say no to drugs, maybe he could have avoided that overdose that knocked him off his tits
Rick McCallum's face during the test screening said it all really, the sheer look of abject horror, shock and embarrassment at what he had just witnessed foreshadowed what audiences would experience themselves. And that was only an initial cut just imagine how much worse this already objectively bad film was.
His behaviour and the narrative seems to indicate he has paid for a 'tute in the past, but he probably got too obsessive so he was yeeted and blacklisted from tang citywide. That's probably behind his violent hatred of pimps, they were gatekeeping. Travis was just an incel.
It wasn't necessarily defined as an antithesis for Shaniquas though
"rumours", he once said

In the film alone or including marketing?
Very unlikely that both characters will be white in the modern cinema. Maybe John David Washington/Simu Liu, it would be great to see Castor Troy do literal blackface.
Yep, got the sense they were going for a contemporary version, but the script just wasn't up to par. The production obviously had to account for the tax incentives with all the scenery, so it drew on a lot of other Oz films at the time like Mystery Road etc. It was strongly influenced by True Detective as well which was still trendy then and there were very mild elements of cosmic horror, but the Farrant just couldn't pull everything together - too much melodrama, of which the horrendous acting didn't help.
So does Sir Gawain get to see bobs and vegana?
Thanks
His career would have been a perfect negative slope if not for the sudden crash caused by the embarrassing atrocity that was Jersey Girl, a film so vile it made Nazi propaganda seem like Bambi. The slight recovery after that moldy failure was misleading in that it made it look like he wasn't an incompetent buffoon, except he was.
If the rumours are true, it will be more like The Brokeman
Hence why he's one of the most commercially successful filmmakers in history
Yeah, it was an honest enough miss, he was an old movie buff and it was obvious he was paying homage to those camp, breezy romcoms of the golden era. Some of his favourite films were Eraserhead, the Idolmaker, Godfather and Amadeus, and you can detect elements of all of them during this movie.
I suspect he was just an ahole - the 90s was a different era after all, in which actors were less accountable and scrutiny was more perfunctory rather than granular. It will be interesting to see the extent the behind the scenes footage in his new documentary captures, I doubt he will show compromising interactions or moments on set (if he even had any), but perhaps with his newfound mortality he will put himself on the cross for the peanut gallery.
He didn't worry enough at the time
Yes it was good to finally see him attempt a movie with a point again, it's just a shame he has to make everything so overlong, overwrought and hefty. Decent for a film that crossbreeds Thin Red Line and Tree of Life, but too elongated and pretentious.
I believe Jim Carrey in Liar Liar put it best: "Mama! soksoksoksoksoksoksok"
