I'm sure he'll be good, but I was more excited when I misread and thought he was playing Renfield. That'd be perfect.

Those are better for blind people, I bet. I cling stubbornly to my ancient iPod Classic because it has a wheel I can use without having to look at it.

Toaster Beef posted:I've done this, and it absolutely works I was a commissioning editor for an Australian television network (basically the guy green lighting stuff and giving the notes) and I'd be wary of saying this is good advice. Generally the people in charge absolutely know when the notes are being ignored and will usually let it go it if it isn't worth the battle and the sunk investment isn't worth shutting everything down/demanding the creators go back to the edit. If it isn't a huge success though you're probably never going to get work with that network ever again because they can be petty as hell. Basically if you're going to do that you better either be loving certain you're right or be Mel Brooks. Great advice for Mel Brooks, probably absolute poison for any emerging artists out there reading it.

I think it was better advice for a new filmmaker 40-50 years ago than it is for today. But it would definitely have helped to be Mel Brooks even then, since he had such a solid reputation from his TV career.

The Neal! posted:I was a commissioning editor for an Australian television network (basically the guy green lighting stuff and giving the notes) and I'd be wary of saying this is good advice. I am an editor and, depending on if the project is worth the gambit, have definitely agreed with my director/edit producer to pull a Mel Brooks from time to time. Pardon the derail, but I am fascinated that a channel commissioner is on SA and want to ask you loads of questions. 1. How'd you get the job? Had you made a lot of TV before (I mean made, not execed)? 2. How did you find other commissioners? Were they weird? Did they seem like they knew what they were doing? From our perspective these people are like inscrutable, erratic aliens with one consistent feature: whatever the project was that they greenlit, they will be confused and disappointed when you deliver it as promised and demand it be completely different, probably by eliminating everything about it that made it worth making. There are exceptions who perhaps understand better that their role is a supportive one and not really editorial outside of making sure a show doesn't cross lines like legally. But most here (UK) seem clueless, and if you look them up they generally failed upward through family connections. I know someone who recently worked on a BBC show commissioned by a guy who was literally featured in the wikipedia article on "nepotism".

I was a little confused when they told me I deserved a playlist as long as my skincare routine while playing Raining Blood. mostly because I've listened to that song maybe twice this year I think? definitely less than 5. Also that should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about my skincare routine

As someone who made sketch comedy for several years and never quite cracked telly (with the exception of one show, but even then it was changed beyond all reason), commissioners will always be strange, unknowable creatures to me, so I'm glad I'm not alone in this.
