That's too bad. I understand that as a young filmmaker with an ego, but your supposed to lose that ego as you mature both emotionally and as an artist.
Directors to a certain extent need to dominate, it’s the nature of the job.
If you’re the one organising 30 to 50 people on a set with a good many of them also being egos (think actors for example), you have to make hard decisions and to certain extent be that unpopular leader.
On the other hand, there also plenty of soft spoken directors that use soft power to manage a set.
Just want to point out that directing isn’t an easy job at times and how that gets handled various from director to director.
Kubrick movies left a big impact on me, whatever he did it seems to have worked. But I also think he was a bully who it was very hard and damaging to work with.
As surprising as it might be, narcissistic personality disorder won’t go away simply as people age, especially if they live in a social bubble where they are sent overall continuous positive feedback that society is very pleased at the global result of their behavior.
Apart that he was a film maker, I don’t know anything about him. If anything, this thread thrown more claims on the person than I have ever read before, as I couldn’t care less about topics that can perfectly fit gossip magazines.
Plus not being a doctor, I’m not even qualified to make a compelling diagnosis.
All that said, clichés don’t come from anywhere, and tyrannic personalities who destroy everybody around them as sure as they get social glorification for practicing some art is a well established one, so I wouldn’t be surprised that it would be the case. However I would rather have Picasso coming to my mind.
Whenever you extrapolate the "corporate vision" of these VC pontificators, you see a company all of whose revenue goes to investor share-grabbers, and whose projects are all funded by employees who are paid nothing.
I think we'll be led by a programmer from another language who comes and unites the tribes against the languages that now dominate, a voice from the outer world. The "Lispan al-Gaib", if you will.
> Any invocation of an external program can fail for a variety of reasons, and the shell doesn't provide adequate mechanisms for dealing with it, apart from exit codes and filtering error text output.
True, handling multiple sub-processes is difficult in most Unix shells. This is a function where Powershell could have done so much better, but didn't. It is somewhat better than bash&co, but could have been much more so. Python does it much better than Powershell does.
