you know, the more you do it, the more you learn not to trust how good something's feeling as purely meaning it works.
And it's, it's sort of, it can be kind of odd to be a buzzkill when people around you are like, this is crushing.
And you're like, I know it seems like it is, but we have to make sure it is like, cause you can just, that can just be enough to move on.
It's like, there is, there's a weird thing about
Sometimes it's just like because if the dailies were really fun to watch just on our own, it's like, why don't we just release the day?
Like there is a function of like whether something seems like it's working and whether it doesn't.
But to bring it back to Muppet movie, it's like part of the reason I really love this movie is it's it is somehow realistic about how difficult shit is.
And also very, you know, rose colored glasses about any of it.
You know, I think part of your job as a director is to make it seem as if everything was effortless and easy, even when it's not.
It's like when there's scenes that have two Vince Vaughns in my movie, some of those were so...
difficult to figure out that on set and in prep I was like getting like stress migraines from it but because I'm also simultaneously wanting the scene to just be fun and easy I don't want you to be watching it saying wait how did they do that right I don't want you to never think and that's the thing that I the the bike the bicycle scene is the only scene in this movie that to me feels like they're like okay come on right look at what we're doing
Otherwise, it's like, you just want to think that's a frog.
You don't want to think that someone's drowning underwater trying to operate the puppet.
It's very funny to me that, you know, as a really big fan of Lost and the ending, and Leftovers and all of Damon's stuff, is that my really dumb, simple thought is that most of his stuff feels inspired by Peter Weir movies, but it would be hilarious if the entire time it was like,
Yeah, we got the idea for the last season from the Muppet movie.
Because I was like imagining, what if that theater was really everyone in the afterlife?
And they're kind of watching a clip show of the thing.
I've had weirder ideas that something started kind of as a joke where I'm like, you know that movie?
What if blank?
And then I suddenly have a whole idea from it.
