Krispy Wafer posted:I've always heard that Lucas got fined and rage quit the Director's Guide as a result. It's entirely possible directors like Kubrick and Wells just paid their fine or got away with it because the governing body liked them more. It may have also mattered that Star Wars was the biggest film ever, so there was more attention paid to Lucas. He only left after they tried to get the director of Empire on the same thing. Lucas was cool with paying the fine but when they went after his director he said "gently caress you" and bailed. This is why Jedi wasn't directed by Spielberg like Lucas wanted since Spielberg was still in the Guild.

Yeah, I don’t think Lynch directing Jedi would have been that great. Lucas would have forced him into following his vision. It’s not like we would have gotten bald Jedis or baroque gilded Death Stars if Lynch was at the helm.

Why would you want something weird? Like what everyone else likes. That's the whole point of Star Wars.

For animals in movies, how do they get paid? I mean, I'm guessing whoever owns the animal probably gets a check, but how does an animals rate of pay compare to a person's?

Those are decent, but her tinfoil hatting about Del Toro's departure--suggesting that he was fired--doesn't hold up at all with what we know of the timeline, because MGM didn't get its financial poo poo together for another eight or nine months after he left, and at the time he left there was absolutely no end in sight (MGM was only able to finally get things going because it sold the distribution rights for its entire catalog to Sony, which happened in 2011; it used that money to greenlight The Hobbit and Skyfall).

The Hobbit movies hosed over hundreds if not thousands of people, twisted a whole country's labor climate to that of a Massachusetts cotton mill in the 1840's, destroyed Peter Jackson's credibility, kept us from getting a decent adaptation for at least another 10 years, and were a soulless, hollow, useless, worthless cash grab that will never be remembered in any way other than a bad one, AND THEY STILL MADE MONEY.

While I liked the Hobbit trilogy, the real star of the extended edition Blu-ray release is the incredible 9 1/2 hour making-of documentary. I honestly feel that the it was a way of salvaging the project since it's a more harrowing and emotional journey than the films themselves. Some of the stuff in that doc is nightmare material like Ian McKellan having a nervous breakdown or Peter Jackson gradually going from looking healthy to his hair turning gray and looking haggard by the end.

Best part of the shitshow was that none of the New Zealand actors were invited to the big premiere in the US as Warner Brothers were angry with them. One of the actors simply tweeted out that he was not going, and WB got all pissy that he posted it. Then invited them to it. They arrived and not one WB rep talked to any of them the whole time. They were treated like loving ebola victims. All just so that they would get the same pay as other country film workers.

I watched Bright yesterday and now I'm wondering if there are any good movies about the integration of the police forces. Like a buddy cop movie with a black and white pair of cops where they have to deal with the racism in the department or whatever. In the Heat of the Night is very good, Training Day is good but doesn't really fit the bill.

All these are very good suggestions, but I was looking for all-human movies. Although it's funny that there are so many non-human buddy cop movies.
