I wrote and directed this movie, and I think 3 stars is the appropriate rating. Maybe +/- a half star, but the lower or higher you go the more I feel like the rating probably has more to do with the day you’re having than the merits of the movie. And that’s fine, that’s how it works.
Cinematography, score, and lead performances are all pretty undeniable because I had the good sense to find brilliant collaborators and give them space…
Sort of assumed a movie called Jailhouse Rock would spend more than like 10 minutes in the jailhouse but that’s on me I guess.
Something really interesting about Elvis—and not many people are saying this—is that he was handsome, cool, and talented.
Very concerned about the fate of Horny Mom. I hope you found peace and solace Horny Mom, I remember you even if the movie forgot you midstream.
I think my message to Edgar Wright would be: it’s ok to not make a movie if you don’t have anything to say. There’s no shame in it, plenty of people do it all the time—I’m doing it right now!
I think my message to Edgar Wright’s friends would be: why didn’t you do something?
