So, Joe, here's a question: Do the directors ever feel bitter about your cuts,
assuming they're different from the directors' cuts? Do they come to you
and ask why it was done a certain way, and why your way is better than
their way?

Actually, what I guess I'm asking is this: do the directors comment on
the differences in the cuts they make as compared to yours?

There have only been a couple of very rare cases when a director has said
"Why did you do this?"  Usually we explain why -- we were running long, an
EFX shot didn't work out, whatever -- and it's never a problem.  There
have been, I think, about 3 cases when a director said it was really
important to him to do it a certain way in one shot, and if a director
feels that strongly about it, we tend to think we should go along with it.
