We need to do a new one of these with the executives. The world has changed a lot.

The interviewers should NOT be sacked. Surely their job is not to make the interviewee comfortable. Surely it is to elicit interesting responses, which they have done.

As someone trying to break into the film industry as a composer this was interesting to see the perspective of the suits upstairs who deal with major pictures on an executive level.

tv is trumping film by way of quality, story and character development

THR is doing a great job, and usually they bring a lot of good questions to the tables, but these roundtables lacks intensity and people really speaking their mind.

When you bring such public figures and public topics to the table, you're never going to get the real truth to the things that are being debated, because everybody is looking to protect their image - whether it's their own or in this case, their studio.

Was totally distracted by the woman executive who could not stop saying "You know" throughout her every response.

Langley looks like an older Maya Rudolph

[CampyIntuition]

Watching this had me clenching my hands and butt the whole time. Something wasn't very soft about the way it went about

[Anticipatingcolossus]

What happened with all these people. Netflix was not even mentioned.

Posting December 2018, it is interesting to see the change in interviews from the year before, this year, and the year after. This interview, while it has 3 less execs, is the most convivial. Next year they move to a THR table similar to the ones they use for the actors, so not neutral ground of a restaurant, and the same two interviewers, are much more aggressive, to the point of combative. The filming next year is more intrusive and ridiculous.

[NavajoIndianaJones]

Is it me or has the questions and professionalism of THR gone down? The editing is not great and the questions are too

[bougiesasha]

Who allowed her to wear green dots on camera!‼️

Kim Masters is the shit!! #TheBusinessKCRW

The interviewers just love Disney.. that's all they want to know and talk about the first part of the video... Not to mention, Pamela just sits ask laugh at the wrong time. I would rather want to hear the other chiefs talk about their work. Not to just focus on Disney..

[carissamarple]

The chick with the spots sounds wasted. And why didnt anyone ask if the paramount guy was okay? His neck was fully inflamed with redness and hives lol. Wtf.

[chrisstone]

well ALLAN HORN why dont you start making the BLU RAY's with better extras! the problem is, the BLU RAY's are coming with crap! of course people wont buy it.

[JensAWorkInProgress]

Im sorry but the interviewer here keeps inserting her opinion into the question.

[Brandknob]

I hate listening to people turn my art into a business.

Donna Langley, how the hell is "Best Man's Holiday" a movie for a "specific audience"? You need to understand that there isn't such a genre as "black movie". Is "Goodfellas" a movie for "specific audience"? Absolutely not. This woman's talking nonsense.
