I love how much the whole table perked up when they got to ask him about Get Out. Can really tell that they all loved it and have tremendous respect for it.

He's not new to direction. He's new to directing drama films. I think he's just an attentive person regardless.

It's so weird seeing Jordan Peele being this serious writer/director now. Definite career transition.

i'd say he's new to writing too he should listen . despite the black hires fame he wont ever get there

Well... not really, he threw us a curveball, that's all.

@@v-22 crafting an effective curveball is mad skill.

So very true. The reaction of Black people in the theater was so "unreal" because of the bleak reality that we were all expecting at the end. Great, great work, J Peele.

@@v-22 how? by not letting the ending be real cops? naw, i think he adapted the movie perfectly, hes a genius

I imagine getting loads of very busy hollywood types in a room is hard, then there is their time, then their ego to talk consistently and to divert from the subject, then there is airing time, sure it could be 12 hours long and we'd watch it, but it really would maintain a good flow. so , if you think about it, the presenter does an amazing job of keeping it moving, being fair with time and asking questions we would actually like to hear. peace,

*not maintain

Oh...I thought it was just me...

SAY IT LOUDER-

Fatih Akin is so ridiculously well spoken. Its nice to see a foreign filmmaker get recognized by these things

hahahaa my reaction exactly!!

He wasn't that bad though tbh

How did you KNOW

I literally said, Oh noo...

I'm sure he's an ok chap but I'm not keen on how he cuts across to another writer as two others are sharing a funny moment. Fxcking rude.

This guy has become my favorite Oscar meme

I want to see Chris Nolan on one of these round table discussions.

35:50 The Legend strikes!!

Not really. Comedy is a serious thing too.

@Alexander Supertramp The show hasn't aired since 2015

He makes overrated SJW movies that tick off boxes by featuring black people. That’s the only reason get out was nominated...

southlondon86 - *NO*

Thomas Crown Madam I’m not white. Get Out was overrated crap which wouldn’t have won anything had it not been for the race angle. I know it’s hard for you to accept but even ethnic minorities are fed up with PC culture and box ticking. There’s a lot of movies that are awful/plain average but are overrated due to political agendas. Black panther is horribly average but because it features black people it won awards. Nothing more to it.

ohmagad

He's such a mindless hack, look at the guy and then look at his art, disgusting

noun uneedtono what’s wrong with the guy he makes unique character films it’s what he’s known for

Infer unique? You call taking copying another film like ”perfect blue” unique?

Looks a bit like Steve Jobs to me in a way.

I met a girl who acted in his films. Apparently he's a bully and a tosser on set.

@@powerbite92 Was the girl also Turkish, if she is, she is probably lying

@@hannibalburgers477 ım turkısh . ı dont want to defend turkısh people. cuz they dont deserves but what u do is pure racism. ı hope u recover from that one day

I agree, I can understand he’s trying to get through all his talking point but the beauty of a round table is supposed to be discussions, not interviewing

Yogin Naidoo he has been on directors roundtable 2014 I believe

it's different for everyone, people like Tarantino and the Coen brothers seem to not think about the ending ahead of time too much, based on quotes I've heard from them

Writers are always better!

Siva Sekar LMFAO I thought the same thing

fucking hell

Siva Sekar i swear i love people like you.comments like this give me life

Galloway needs to get bitch slapped!

thats actually the moment that brought me to the comment section.lol

He's so bad at being a host, whoever hired him should be fired too.

I admit Mother! It's a bit pretentious, but there must be more original movies to make a difference

You are right in this one. In a certain way, it's a movie to see while you're smoking pot

I think for Requiem alone directors would chase audiences expectations to match that film's calibre.

I agree, guy's made some good fucking movies. Requiem, The Wrestler and Black Swan were amazing, but even his less accessible movies like Fountain and Mother are always at least interesting.

Not every work is going to be a masterpieces. Audiences are stupid for always demanding perfection but they go apeshit over the dumbest summer blockbuster movies.

It's not a dumb question. You can easily have a passion for something that is laborious: quite often that is the case.

It's even worse to hear that from a "journalist" no less... but it makes sense, given how bad an "interviewer" Galloway is, don't you think? hahahaha

I love Jordan Peele last advice for writing was to have fun. I'm currently in a writers' block mode for so long and been concentrating trying to find the right story that I tend to forget to have fun with it.

Me too, liked Jordan Peele advice the most. If you're not getting fun than your job is to find a way to make it fun: "Look at it from different angle"!

@@3lazinflava There's a reason he won an Academy Award on his first try, I think. And that isn't to say I honestly think much of how they rank film, I mean hitchcock never won an oscar...regardless he deserved the win and not of some racebait bs. I won't reply to anything like that, it is inane and just blind-sighted to objectively good storytelling...This outlook (follow the fun) seems to explain why he was able to write something that good to me, and I found it more identifiable than anything else in the video (which is not saying any small thing, this was a great video). You will never write or draw or make any music better than the story YOU would want to read or thing you want to see or song you want to hear etc etc. And he's right that sort of creative juggling is very helpful, it allows you to take breaks while still keeping your mind flowing creatively (ie jumping from writing to playing an instrument during a block for example)--actually, Peele's example is interesting because "designing a secret society" is something he did for the story of Get Out. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it for fun in reality, and followed the fun because he liked it and that is how it wound up in the script (and possibly got him past his block). Just speculating tho i have no idea. I think the fact that he comes from a comedy background probably definitely helps inform the 'follow the fun idea' though, as well as his writing in the horror genre, it relies a lot on the same sorts of techniques for comedy (suspense, build up, outrageous concepts, even shock and also etc) And regarding the original comment here, I appreciate what you're trying to do but the whole thing is advice for writers...hell, if anything maybe some advice for writers could be to have the patience to just watch and listen to the whole thing. Writing takes a lot of patience, itself.

Yes, that bothered me too. I wanted to hear the Instagram story and he was trying to steer him away in the middle of his sentence!? Bad moderator.

Kunal Malhotra i be thinkin the same thing.lol it’s probably just awkward banter-to soothe the nerve-racking of being photographed in front of people you would rather impress, candidly.

Tommy L. Best comment on the board!

Too busy not hitting Lisa

Oh Haiii Mark 👋

3:13 why can't Stephen always reply like that..

I’ve been keeping count for a year, I’ll update with the end count

Too many times

It's not about there being a moderator at all. It's about STEPHEN GALLOWAY being the moderator. He's horrible. We all understand and agree there's a function for one. We just don't want Galloway. Obviously there needs to be someone to steer the conversation but he constantly steps on his subjects, re-directs conversations at break neck speed just when they're getting interesting and snuffs out what other subjects have to say just to get to his stupid "desert island"-like questions. If you want to see a moderator do it right, watch the 3 hour DGA roundtable.

He's been moderating these round-tables for years, would have been odd without him.

Girl you took the words right out of my mouth, but with more eloquence!

I get your point, but I also think it's a matter of finesse. You can't just blurt out your next question as someone's going in depth with a point/story. It's annoying to people who want to hear the point and probably to the one getting interrupted.

He's also terrible because his questions sound like some 12 year old who read a book about film. He seems to very much be a fanboy who doesn't REALLY get this industry. He'll sometimes just ask obvious questions.

same

His well-crafted, quality questions are why Galloway facilitates the roundtables. Ty for noticing.

he's terrible.

😂🤣😂😆😆

Well an F Cinemascore is a pretty hard thing to swallow (coming from someone who really liked MOTHER!)

what is a cinemascore and i doubt arronofsky cares what they think

the fact that mother! got nominated for fucking razzies, yet hes sitting at this roundtable speaks VOLUMES

yeah the razzies very credible source of film critique what next are you gonna give us the cinemasins number

the fact that black swan, requim for a dream, the fountain and pi are all better than anyhting these cunts did besides the social network(mostly due to fincher) speaks volumes this guy is a true artist compared to this therapist chick and her one off film and jordan peele and his pseudo intelligent film about race relations which really is just a thriller comedy masquareded as a horror about race
