matter the director or the length.
They have snot-nosed test audiences? Only if that's the target audience, Scott.
Not all directors are able to make audience pleasing films as well as "artistic" ones. Producers aren't in the business of supporting directors' egos: it's an industry. Like all parents, directors think everything about their child is precious.
"Apocalypse, Now" is a prefect example of a bloated director making a ridiculously long film: the producer could have cut another half an hour with no loss; adding another hour made it fatter than Brando.
But, anyhow, you're only involved with pulp anyway, right? 300 and Sin City, weren't they?
Zuck.
