The Hollywood Reporter Awards Roundtable / Variety Interviews Thread
Every awards season The Hollywood Reporter puts together these roundtable discussions with major players across the movie industry in specific fields. These tend to get past the generic talking points and actually lead to interesting conversations. I remember in 2011 Christopher Plummer went off on Terrence Malik, how little he enjoyed the experience of working with him.
2018
- Ryan Coogler ('Black Panther'), Yorgos Lanthimos ('The Favourite'), Alfonso Cuarón ('Roma'), Spike Lee ('BlacKkKlansman'), Marielle Heller ('Can You Ever Forgive Me?'), and Bradley Cooper ('A Star Is Born').

Awesome. I love these. I always end up loving the one they do for the actors the most. Especially if they get a great old actor. Duvall and Plummer have made those enjoyable, much more so, for me.

He probably just saw ZDT with everyone else so it's fresh in his mind.

He hasn't seen it though, he's asking the writer whether we see Bin Laden in the movie. I liked the responses, but the interviewer talks over other people before they finish way too much. And not in a good way like Howard Stern.

He does question Mark Boal heavily on ZDT but I can't blame him, the project is fascinating and very little detail has come out about it. Plus it sparked an interesting conversation about portraying controversal subjects on film and how you go about it.

The Actors are also up as well, this was really good: Alan Arkin, John Hawkes, Jamie Foxx, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington and Richard Gere.

I realize they can't just get everyone they want, but the actors lineup seems kind of disappointing without Daniel Day-Lewis or Joaquin Phoenix. The directors one should be good, as they seem to get most of the people that end up with the nominations.
BTW, the movie that Marion Cotillard hated doing was The Last Flight, right?

The actresses roundtable was pretty good too except for Amy Adams's freakout about the paparazzi. I really like her but that...was weird.

Love listening to Tarantino talk about film. Sounds like he doesn't want to risk blemishing his filmography so we may not be getting many more films from him.

I was really impressed by David O. Russell. Dude had to hit rock bottom in all facets of his life so that he could see that he wasn't hot shit after Three Kings. Dude seems humbled now. I hope he stays that way, because that Huckabees fiasco is messed up.
Affleck was the bomb, too.

Maybe I misunderstood or am taking it poorly out of context, but I was turned off when David O. Russell mentioned he doesn't read or pay attention to any reviews. Isn't criticism and learning where you can improve or what you can continue to do well part of any job? Doesn't it help in the long-run to hear people from outside the studio or those close to you give their opinion?

Yeah, it's in the context. I wish I could articulate it better myself, but I just read Seth Godin's new book and in it he mentions riding high after speaking to about 10,000 people at a convention and as the twitter and social media comments started pouring in on how wonderful his speech was he read the one negative comment that popped up and became fixated on that ONE negative comment, which derailed him for a bit afterward.
I'm thinking that's where Russell was going with his no longer reading negative reviews.

Directors' convo was indeed awesome.
Interesting to hear QT say that Death Proof wasn't just a commercial failure, but at an outright failure.
And hell, I certainly would've had some interest if Ang Lee ended up granting that journalist's wish:
By the end of the interview, he had won back my respect too. Now get that Russ Meyer project going, Dave!

Apparently Tarantino wants out of the business.

re: The Hollywood Reporter Awards Roundtable / Variety Interviews Thread
Yeah. He said the same thing in the 2009 roundtable, that he's leaving by age 60 maybe sooner if digital takes over completely. Surprised that the interviewer himself didn't know that even if he wasn't in that roundtable. Or that for example, Denzel Washington doesn't really watch movies. It's strange for sure, but he's said it before.
Similarly it seems like a lot of them had a hard time understanding what Tarantino meant when they were sitting right next to him.

I like how David O. Russell looks like he's gonna kill Tarantino at around the 3:30 mark after Russell makes a joke about his own well known temper, and Tarantino proceeds to say how he doesn't think anyone can respect a filmmaker who does that shit.

This isn't THR but it's an L.A. Times Animator's roundtable. Haven't seen it yet, but I bet there will be more roundtables here:
