There is this quote that I can’t find by Tarantino, basically saying he did the movies all for himself thinking there has to be other people like me out there.

There is this quote that I can’t find by Tarantino, basically saying he did the movies all for himself thinking there has to be other people like me out there. I cannot be the only guy who’s weird the way I am. PS: if anyone knows the source please share. I think it was in an interview.

I believe it was James Cameron talking about "lengthy flying scenes". Something along the lines of: "I want to see it". Edit: found it, it appears to be ripped from his masterclass https://twitter.com/fiendformojitos/status/1611164618889564161?t=VfG7CtHUIJJyKbOvA9vuwg&s=19 https://twitter.com/fiendformojitos/status/16111646188895641... Edit: sorry, didn't mean to sound like the Tarantino quote doesn't exist, they've probably said similar things.

I think it was on Howard Stern [0], see video. [0] https://www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/quentin-tarantino-makes-his-movies-for-himself-670753-20230101 https://www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/quentin-tarantino-makes-h...

One of the reasons why Adam Sandler movies are so terrible is because he doesn't make them to make squillions in an international release. He makes them as an excuse to goof off with his buddies. (Hence why Spade and Schneider tend to appear.) Any profit he makes off people who are into the result is gravy.

  The worst thing about Adam Sandler is that he can act, and he can make very good movies, he just chooses not to.

    There's a nugget of wisdom in there

    Yeah that's so true. You can see his acting skills in films like "Punch Drunk Love".

      That was the movie I was thinking of, but there are a handful of others examples as well.

    He'll choose to when he's good and ready. He was amazing in Uncut Gems. What's worse, to be in a position to make shitty movies because you want to, because they're made for you and your buds? Or to have to appear in someone else's shitty movies because you're on the Hollywood work treadmill and can't support your lavish lifestyle without taking whatever work you can get?
