I think that you should make what kind of movies you want to make. If you want to make a movie about 2 guys who have a 90 minute conversation at McDonald’s, make that movie. If you want to make a 3 hour action epic with shit getting blown up every 3 seconds, then do that. Since Hollywood films are such money makers, unless you’re already a top director (and even then), chances are you won’t have as much control over your movie compared to if you were making an independent film. Look at Quentin Tarantino. Miramax wouldn’t be who they are today without him. But they still gave him and his fans the short end of the deal, by splitting Kill Bill into 2 parts and deciding to release 32 hundred shitty barebone editions of the two volumes.
