Do the best directors get laid a lot?

I'm just curious does it improve a director's ability to do his shit? I mean of course, getting laid makes one more peopley so ipso facto they should be able to work with people and crews a lot more, case in point, Tarantino isn't married but he's had a couple of gfs and makes pretty groovy movies subsequently, however Coppola has been married from the get-go yet also makes groovy movies. Then there's Leone who's been on poon patrol and only until he got married did he even direct his first movie. Kubrick also got married early on and has made movies from then on out. I ask because does it aid in how their work comes off? The ones who had marriages typically just made more straight-forward structured things while the hounds were making zany shit. Scorsese is like the midpoint.

Re: Do the best directors get laid a lot?

Lucas got divorced and then we got ewoks, Han shooting first and Jar Jar Binks. So I think it can matter a little.

Lucas's divorce also led to Pixar's sale though for him to get enough cash to pay for it.

Re: Do the best directors get laid a lot?

Oh i forgot about actors too like DeNiro/Pacino who never really got married, just tail here and there.
On the other hand there's DDL who didn't get married till the 90s. I read Eli Wallach's bio, he got some tail around ww2 in hawaii and then married 1 till even now, i guess he remained very much stable but ended up in the greatest role ever. And no idea about Hitchcock but he seems to be the structured sort.

Oliver Stone, married or not, is a horndog extraordinaire. One male screenwriter or producer who worked with him says he's like the chief of the tribe who feels he has to sleep with all the women in the tribe. Does it affect the quality of his movies? I imagine he was sleeping with more women when he was younger and making his better movies (SALVADOR and PLATOON right through to JFK and HEAVEN AND EARTH). I remember seeing him at a forum on JFK and he was on a pro-conspiracy panel facing down an anti-conspiracy panel and he had a research assistant (a hot young woman, of course) come out and sit behind him on a folding chair furiously scribbling notes and passing them to him so he could back up his assertions with "documentation." I had to admit it was pretty damned clever. And pretty much "in-your-face" about his "methods." I'm betting Norman Mailer, who was on the panel also, was freaking jealous and furious he'd never thought of that himself.

Re: Do the best directors get laid a lot?

The job of a director is to manipulate people into acting the way he wants. The best directors are really good at it. I figure that getting women into bed is pretty easy for them.

Wow, I only knew about 3 children by two women. But here's what it says on IMDB:

Has 7 children by 5 different women: Kimber Eastwood (born 17 June 1964) with Roxanne Tunis; Kyle Eastwood (born 19 May 1968) and Alison Eastwood (born 22 May 1972) with Maggie Johnson; Scott Eastwood (born 21 March 1986) and Kathryn Eastwood (born 2 February 1988) with Jacelyn Reeves; Francesca Eastwood (born 7 August 1993) with Frances Fisher; and Morgan Eastwood (born 12 December 1996) with Dina Eastwood.

Was reluctant to have children with ex-wife Maggie Johnson due to marital problems. During one of their separations, Eastwood had an affair with dancer Roxanne Tunis, with whom he had his first child (a daughter named Kimber whom he took years to acknowledge). Although he reportedly asked Johnson for a divorce after fathering a child with Tunis, they reconciled when Johnson became very ill with hepatitis. Following her recovery, and fifteen years after they married, their first child Kyle Eastwood was born. Following the birth of their second child, Alison Eastwood (Clint was not present at either birth), they separated again and eventually divorced after a decade of legal separation.

I don't know that it has to do with being a good director. I doubt Hitchcock got a lot of ass. You just know he ruined lots of chances by blatantly pointing to every potential lay that he had cock in his name.

I just got off the phone with Shatner, and he said "Actually, the worst ones do."

You do know he's married to one of the hottest women in the universe, right?

Since George Clooney has directed a few films, I guess you can add him to the list.

Yes to all this. FRwL and Buttmunker should have the "create new thread" button disabled.

I think you're being too harsh. You can say whatever you want about Buttmunker (and I'd put Spottedfeather in his class), but he always delivers. He rarely disappoints.

Re: Do the best directors get laid a lot?

The best director of all time, Michael Bay, said he bangs hot chicks on a daily basis.

He said models/actress try to use him to get a role and be a breakout star. He uses them by sleeping with them for the night and never talking to them ever again.

Now that's a smart man. Take that Spielberg!

That's because after he bangs them, he rigs them with explosives and blows them up.
