The fact that they are quoting a director whos biggest claim to fame was 30 years ago is very telling of his present state of mind. His best ideas are stolen, he hates copyright because he lacks any talent. He cant direct, but wants to with limited effort.
Ive worked with directors like this before, they use the word "homage" for every shot they take, they let the AD do all the actual directing work, and they sit behind the monitor looking at their cellphone during a take, and bitch occaisionally that they are running out of daylight while contributing nothing to the production besides their name and some bullshit personal relation from their childhood to the story being told in the film during a promo interview, a script which they didnt even write, they were just available when the studio called them to pump out another turd of a film. And in order to get people in the seats they claim its a "ground breaking cinematic experience" or some shit. Taking alllllllll the credit while being the smuggest piece of shit loser you have ever met. They also almost always cheat on their wives with some head of departmemt or cast member or at least try to. And they fucking LOVE blow..... and shitting on every technician they can, outsourcing blame for their own ineptitude whenever possible.
Theres a really good example of this type of person in the show "brand new cherry flavor"
We all have our names for them, but my favourites are: dip shit moron, piece of shit loser, parasite, and of course, cunt.
