Reply to comment by SwimmingLaddersWings in I just finally watched Bone Tomahawk last night by utopiandiorama

Dragged Across Concrete made 660k on a 15mil budget, not surprised most wouldn't touch him with a 10ft pole

Best bet for him would be to get some sort of deal with a streaming service. Unfortunately, the type of movies he makes are pretty much destined to flop at the theaters.

PTA and James Gray have been flopping on nearly every movie theyve
done for a decade. I genuinely don’t think commercial success means shit. I think Hollywood just likes filmmakers who follow their agenda and kiss their ass. Zahler is not one of those people.

Edit:

Apparently Zahler just went into production last November on a 3 hour black and white film about an animatronic puppet. Just nobody reported on it because Hollywood and the agenda led media doesn’t value real talent.

When you’re making multiple references to conspiracy theory, right wing, dog whistle talking points you’ve gotta really ask yourself, is it I who is the asshole ?

He could at least be more subtle it to. In Dragged Against Concrete there was literally a glass smashing scene to drive the message home

How is it right wing to acknowledge that PTA and Gray keep getting work despite losing their studios tens of millions of dollars every film? I think it’s you who has to ask yourself why that is the case and why Hollywood works the way it does.

Nope just factual

Talent is only allowed to stay on if they’re making big hits

Otherwise you only stay in the industry if you make politically correct nonsense and/or kiss producers asses
