I should add, not directing The Alamo is quite possibly the smartest thing Ron Howard ever did.

And Cimino is the shining star, as 'Heaven's Gate' destroyed United Artists and forever crippled Hollywood director autonomy. How many bad directors these days can make that same claim?
I would also suggest Peter Jackson, as much as it pains me to do so. He really killed it with King Kong, and I think he's gotten so much stature at this point that it's gotten difficult to edit the man or keep him on a budget. I don't have high hopes for this new flick. It will not be Heavenly Creatures.
Quentin Tarantino ought to be in director jail just to knock some fucking sense back into his over-inflated head. The shame palace that Kevin Smith currently inhabits would be a welcome abode.

Anyway, Paul Verhoeven went back to Holland and made a riveting comeback in 2006 with Black Book.
Michael Cimino hasn't done anything film-related since the mid-'90s. Instead, he published a novel and morphed into a woman via multiple plastic surgeries.

It was before LOTR, when he had to shoot the "test" footage, that everything was on the line. He was afraid that if he and Fran screwed it up, they'd never work in Hollywood again.

Thought this was about writer/Tarantino collaborator Avary, Tweeting from jail.
For DUI manslaughter. It's actually pretty compelling reading. Sheets that although laundered, have "the ball-sweat of a thousand men" on them. Uh, vivid! Also, all inmates forced to watch Fox.
(How he Tweets: Avary uses his phone time each day to speak to a service that does the Tweets for him. Capitalism is amazing.)

I'll be right back. I'm going to go dunk my head in the kitchen sink for a few minutes.

Shouldn’t he be out clearing brush on some ranch in Texas by now?

You won. Can we all just ignore Tucker now? Pretty please with a Hipster Grifter on top?
Signed,
Everybody

Therefore, be it resolved that Gawker shall never write another post about Tucker Max again, nor refer to him indirectly in another post. The one exception, of course, is on the occasion when he's finally beaten to death with a giant dildo.
Anyone second this?

Luckily I'm willing to help you, but you must follow my advice:
A)Grow a pair.
B)Understand the subtext to the whole frat boy thing, which is that sense of entitled fulfilled. Yes, it's fantasy, but keep at it.
C) Grow a pair.
D) Stop whining like a little girl because you didn't win at a man's game.
E) Did I mention, grow a pair? Dude, nothing's worse than an emasculated macho poser. You're fucking annoying.

Middle America, and the rest of fly-over country is the ONLY place this shit will fly.
Tucker Max is such a putz.
