Tim Miller joins the ranks of first time directors who knocked their first feature out of the park. Kudos to him!
I read somewhere that the jokes in the pre-credits had another dimension to them - apparently who gets credit and for what is a super big deal in Hollywood - there are union rules governing who gets what billing (regarding writers, producers, etc) - and this movie broke a lot of those rules in order to get a laugh (or more accurately, several laughs). It represents some pretty brave comedy, especially in a world where hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake.
And the director literally called himself "an overpaid tool".How often you reckon that happens in Hollywood?
