"This aggression will not stand, man," Kwan said of Twitter uproar over the movie's low placement or exclusion altogether on year-end lists.
Kwan continued, “This was an incredible year for movies and there is so much to celebrate, why waste your time on anger? (It’s a rhetorical question, I know the algorithms have been training us to chase these emotions, capitalism has taught us to see everything as a zero sum game blah blah blah). These end of year lists are a great opportunity for people to discover films they haven’t heard of (our film doesn’t need that), to help smaller films make money (don’t need that), and to celebrate the hard work of filmmakers we admire (don’t need anymore celebrating).”

Just heard Bill Richert is no longer with us.

What a wonderful time I had working with Bill, what a great environment he created for all of us to work in, well, to play in, really. His set was loose and joyful, a place where ideas were welcome and nurtured. The cast he attracted to Winter Kills, his first picture, was an example of his charisma, sense of humor, and intelligence.

Folks just wanted to be involved in what this guy was up to. I’ll miss you Bill. Love you, man.

First of all, Dude, you don't have an ex. Second, the line is not a myth. I've seen it. They're a bunch of f'ing amateurs.
