JAMES VS CINEMA Q&A!!!

Or rephrased, "Why is Breaking Bad the greatest show ever?" (heheh just kidding, sort of)

Dan

Which directors have influenced your work the most?

What's your favourite TV show?

Apart from all the standard bio stuff (what, when, where) I would like to know what makes you go "Well, that's cool. But I'm gonna pass on that one" both in a professional and a personal context?

Paul Steffens

Hi James. I'm a new member and enjoy your commentary. Maybe you would like to add these two titles to your next list. Helter Skelter A Japanese-Drama/Psychological horror. Not for everyone, the movie is very extravagant, colourful eye candy aesthetically pleasing in a very chaotic world and the lead actress Erika Sawajiri fearless performance. Funny Games - Crime/Drama. The movie is absent from any music except the opening taking away the ques that the audience expects. There are two versions, German and American, both identical and same director. The American version I preferred because it has Michale Pitt and Naomi Watts.

Where did you study film, and what originally made you want to study film?

Dustin Bruce

Who are some of your favorite characters from film/television and why?

What would be your dream project to adapt if you were able to get the rights to it?

Cody Price

Jarod

Did you have figures in your life who modelled positivity to you, or have you developed this yourself in response to a less than positive environment? No need for specifics. And if you have developed this yourself, for God's sake Man, pass on the secret!

Patrick Massonne

Do you think that it's important to be able to separate the art from the artist or do you think that the two shouldn't be separated I.e the artist could potentially cloud the greatness of their art

Rasmus

What's your earliest memory of movies? And what movie(s) did you watch that made you think "yep! that's what I want to do with my life!" ?

Softcore Punk

Desert island movie?

What do you think of the French new wave films and which directors and films have you seen? my personal favorite is Godard because I relate to him more than any other director. (also in your lady bird video you mention wanting to talk about your moving-to-California experiences)

kimsmk

What are your top three movies to watch when you feel sad and want to feel happy?

is there any movie that you feel you could have directed better than the actual person who directed it? or maybe just a movie you wish you could’ve directed because you had your own vision for it?

xcoser

Just wondering what projects you're working on at the moment?

Favorite books?

Ken

You get to spend 24 hours with a movie director (living or dead), who would it be, and why

Sébastien Pichette

What's your interests/passions outside of cinema? If you hadn't focused on film school etc what was your backup plan? (if you had one).

Mike B

Last one: What's your top5 favourite movies you've reacted to on the channel?

Who do you think is the more skilled actor: Jake Gyllenhaal or Christian Bale?

You can only keep the filmography of one of these directors. Whose do you keep? - Martin Scorsese - Christopher Nolan

What's a favorite shot from any movie you've ever seen

James Miller

Since I'm curious what kind of other creators and projects you like... If you could have worked on any movie you've see, in any position/job, what movie and position would it have been?

Cifer

Who are your top 3 actors and directors, and have you thought of doing a cross-over in reactions with someone like Brandon Likes Movies or Cinema Rules?

Mitchy D

LMFAOOOOO can’t wait to answer this one.

James Adams

Are there ever any movies that you don’t end up liking that you react to in a more positive way on your channel so as to not disappoint your viewers who recommended it?

Brittyn Lindsey

What is your least favorite movie that you've seen?

Mr Zilla

You are offered unlimited money and creative control to make personal projects for the rest of your life, but your fingers will be permanently covered in hot cheeto powder. Do you take this deal?

Which actors and actresses would you like to work with given the chance?

Will u do a criterion reaction section to go with your current channel? Lots of classics that I don't see many reactors do

Red Tail Zephier

Which directors have influenced your style?

Yessica C

What is the hardest part about being a film maker?

what advice would you give to someone who wants to pursue filmmaking as a career?

Sarah Manamtam

I've noticed that you prefer to react to movies from the last 30 years, is there a reason for that and would you like to start reacting to some classic older films? If so, tell us what are some clasic movies that you always wanted to watch and see if people are interested. Thank you for the reactions, it's hard to find such good channels

Favorite cinematographer?
