I haven’t started it yet but have only seen good things in here/in real life. This is the first negative comment and it’s a harsh one!

 

opened it to see he says Marty sucks on the show which is flat out wrong, dude just seems to be a hater

 

I do think you definitely feel the lack of genuine venom, but I thought the writing itself was pretty good so far

 

I just have not really gotten the vibe that The Studio is meant to be venomous at all. Especially comparing it to The Player, which he mentions himself is the way it is for a reason. Why would he expect a different auteur with a completely different perspective to write the same narrative

 

I do think with how hypercorporate basically everything is now, there’s been a decline in the venom/bite of American satire. The Studio never seemed like it’d be that kind of show to me, but I would like to see more venom in general

 

It's definitely hard when Difficult People had to apologize to Max Landis

 

Love Linklater. Breathless is a classic. Godard is one of the best and most interesting to ever do it. I really don’t have any interest in this one. I’m over fictional movies about making real movies

hope I am wrong!

 

me too but I think it'd be funny if they made one about Kevin Smith making Clerks. Directed by someone with 100x his technical skill, starring Paul Walter Hauser probably

 

What is the best "we're making a movie (or show)" movie/show?


EDIT:
Should preface and say about an existing movie/show

 

The Disaster Artist is bad. Saturday Night was bad. I started Ed Wood but didn't finish. That was good. I didn't see the Godfather show.

 

I agree with your breakdown so far, I'll have to think about that one....

 

Hail Caesar wasn't very good

 

Ed Wood is great.

 

There are plenty of great films about film or films about the making of fake films. I think it loses me when you try to replicate the creation of an actual existing project.

 

Bowfinger

 

This book has me on such a Coppola kick that I want to watch the show about the Godfather, but I don't know if I can sit through the Balls of Fury guy playing him the entire time

 

My Week With Marilyn is good

 

be SERIOUS man

 

Different Coen brothers movie

 

COHEN

 

Bill Murray booking Garfield

 

I’m mixed on the movies about making movies. What always really annoys me in a show or movie is the one character who loves movies and is always referencing them. It always feels like the director wanting to talk about their influences in the least subtle way possible.

The Sopranos did this a little too much in the first season with Christopher and the priest character.

 

It comes down to focus. Is it a film about the process or is it a way to glom onto the existing film/franchise? The Godfather show seemed like just a way to make something in that universe without the headache and backlash of something like a remake or a sequel. It is like those aimless rewatch podcasts.

 

Channing Tatum is perfect in Hail Caesar
