1. > “Dude, you know the thing is, okay he’s got a crazy budget, it’s not small, but he runs [it] like an indie film because he’s not doing it by committee, he’s not doing it by what the studio says,” Leguizamo said in a recent interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

2. Nolan has creative freedom, who would have thought?

3. He’s got too much pull to do what the studio says

4. Damn, this is the first time in ages this guy isnt whining about something.

5. There’s been lots of times when a director had too much creative control and the movie bombed…

   But by and large the movies that are cut to pieces and taped back together again by a committee of executives are the ones that are absolute garbage.

6. When you’re Christopher Nolan, they just let you do it

7. I mean, they’re not about to look the gift horse in the mouth. Nolan prints money, best to let him work

8. Probably one of the last men to hold that power so earnestly.

   The new generation knows how to make Commercial Studio Movies

9. The guy is coming off a three-hour, rated-r biopic that won best pic and almost made a billion dollars, of course he has total control. Dude has earned it.

10. Something something inaudible dialog.

11. The pest is in the movie? Hope Quackie makes it

12. I just want Johnny Legs to win an Oscar at some point. The dude is so talented.

13. He should fix his audio problem though

    I can’t discern chunks of audio in the theater, its only when viewing at home with headphones can I understand what is being said

14. Love me some John Leguizamo

15. His movies have cool concepts but maybe the worst dialogue and character development of any body of work

16. Jon m chu makes every movie what the studio says by committee

17. That’s not John Leguizamo in the photo. I need to go to bed.
