You have to be one of the few people I know who agree with me, that sex scenes are absolutely ridiculous and usually a crutch for bad storytelling.

Sorry to have missed this stream by an hour 😕
But it’s nice to hear your thoughts and I love your enthusiasm.
If I may add to the Nolan discourse, I think his greatest weakness is as a VISUAL storyteller. This likely comes from his university major being in literature. If he wrote novels, he’d be up there with the best in the field. But working in a visual medium seems to work against his interests as a storyteller.

Also, I’d really love to hear you go more in depth on “Beau is afraid”, as I agree with you that it was way too long. But it still had a big impact on me creatively.

Cheers 😊

I’ll try to make the next stream. A24 is like like production company neon if they found more mainstream success. They definitely have brought in a lot of new talent that will define filmmaking after the old guard like Scorsese tarantino and speilberg have passed. They could bcome one of the big studios alongside Disney mgm and Warner in the future. Like having a new political party that we can vote with our money on at the box office. We have to enjoy them being a weird indie studio while it lasts.
