I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Also American Honey was pretty incredible. I’ve not seen any of Arnold’s other stuff but I can’t wait for her next one. Ditto Sean Baker/The Florida Project.

I feel like you would love Kelly Reichardt.

First Cow is my favourite of hers that I've seen.

Wendy & Lucy, Certain Women...I'd be surprised if you didn't like these movies.

I don't know who three (four including the married couple) of these people are, so I've got some homework to do.

Both Red Road and Fish Tank are amazing. Havent seent Wuthering Heights. American Honey was really good but kinda faded with time.

I think it was about 30 mins too long, and it's not so much that the story has stuck with; just the realness of it all. She made me feel like a fly on the wall of a weird subculture. And Shia was incredible.

mm all of them? At least Prometheus, The Consuelor, Covenant, All The Money in the World and The Last Duel. Im expecting Gucci to join this list.

Didnt care for The Martian and havent seen Exodus.

Also, his tv show Raised by Wolves.

The Hollywood Reporter
Scott’s explanation for the horrible box office performance of The Last Duel? Apathetic millennials.

“I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cellphones. The millennian [sic] do not ever want to be taught anything unless you’re told it on a cellphone,” Scott said.

“This is a broad stroke, but I think we’re dealing with it right now with Facebook,” Scott added. “This is a misdirection that has happened where it’s given the wrong kind of confidence to this latest generation, I think.”

It looks awful. If I wasn't such a fan of certain cast members, I'd have zero interest.
