As to my being angry.... I am not so much angry as dogged-ass obsessed about making this movie, in spite of the tremendous obstacles.
Making a movie, ANY MOVIE, is a war. You are fighting everyone and everything. You are fighting for money. You are fighting governments, unions, no-talent meddlers, lawyers, logistics, insurance companies, egos, equipment, crew, actors, schedules, the weather and everyone's doubt and fear of failure....and all of that, even if you have a very strong script and good people participating.
Even the successful blockbusters we see and think were "inevitable" were precarious propositions until the bitter end as a multitude of impossible obstacles were fought and defeated, in turn.
It's a miracle that ANY movies actually get made when you consider the chaos and impediments inherent in the process.
And, it's a miracle when anything GOOD happens to emerge.
I always thought moviemaking was like New York City: It's not a wonder that so much goes wrong there, it's a wonder that anything ever goes right.
And (knowing the dysfunctional process), it's not a wonder that so many bad movies are made, it's a wonder that any good ones are ever made at all.
