i agree. but what pisses me off is when they talk about something and just keep on the topic for so long, that parts of the movie that i want to be discussed come and go and they are still crapping on about a point that is about a less relevant scene or idea than the one they talked over. if that makes sense?

definitely! i'd much rather have at the most, 3-4 people on and that's all. director, maybe prod designer, lead actor (can sometimes offer interesting things). i don't really wanna hear from costume designers, producers etc
