directors have an opportunity to pimp the system and make the movie they'd want to see? hell yeah, who cares if it flopped? those cats still got paid, the studios are the only ones taking an L , you think the directors give a shit if it flops? those dudes are passionate about cult movies, thier doing cartwheels about hustling the suits into paying for an epic, expensive, bad movie. rod will totally get the $$$ for sin city 2, quentin will get funding for his next movie no doubt, and im thrilled to pay $6 for this epic gorefest on wed. rod and quentin won.
