I thought he explained it clearly before?
He basically makes shitty movies so Hollywood can fund vacations for his friends . The filming locations being the vacation spots.
It also keeps his friends working who aren’t in front of the camera. If he can take a vacation and get a solid payday for a bunch of people, why not?
Every single character in that movie made me physically angry. Which probably proves your point. It wasn’t anger at Adam, it was anger at the character and his stupid shitty life choices
I’ve never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.
Uncut Gems is anxiety incarnate. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but undeniably a masterpiece.
Didn’t he say if he didn’t win an Oscar for uncut gems he’d just double down on his shitty fun movies?
Funny People is easily one of the best movies he has ever been in. I know reviews tend to be mixed but I think he does a really great job in that one.
