Is Chris using his Dr’s computer?? “dr dartagnan distifano”
I want Josh and Chris to know that these kinds of interviews do have an impact. I am an aspiring writer who can find myself crippled by the idea of rejection (rejection from an agent, studio, audience critics etc). The discussion here really puts things into perspective and reminds me of how important it is to just let my writing be what I love first because that is what the process and expression began as for me originally
At least Chris is accepting it and dealing with it honestly.
Haven’t seen the movie, heard the buzz, but I’ll say this: Pine had a vision and he went for it. So many movies nowadays are just big budget CG fests, it’s nice to see something inspired and made with a point come out.
I saw Poolman today and I loved it! It’s like a real film-like a 90s indie! Toronto doesn’t know what they’re talking about! This is LA before 2012!
Greatly appreciated this thoughtful dive into how personal the creative process can and should be. I'm a writer who is always curious about what people think about my stories, and I'm currently stuck in the middle of several works-in-progress, and this gave him an additional feeling of recognition and support. Thanks.
Totally resonated with so many things that were said. Nice listening to you guys talk.
I’ve been noticing in recent times that a lot of joyous pieces of art which try to be wholesome or good get met with a lot of negativity, cynicism and hatred. Just the world we live in these days but it shouldn’t stop people from wanting to make that style of art because ultimately we need it.
I've noticed this too. It seems like so many people nowadays want something to be mad about and immediately look for the worst in everything they come across. Haven't seen the movie yet, but I am excited to give it a go when it gets a wider release.
Chris, you put your heart and soul into a movie that you were willing to present to audiences in hopes that they would discover the same enjoyment in watching it that you had in making it. It didn't quite work out exactly as you wanted, but that shouldn't diminish the fact that you were able to throw yourself out on a limb and take huge risks in order to try and bring something positive and entertaining into people's lives. We need more artists like you.
I 've always liked Chris pine's movies, but never really connected the why bit until now. He brings a genuine and really likeable sincerity to the table. Thanks for the podcast, a little peak behind the curtains of the movie makers world. Thank you.
ps. why is there a Dr Dartagnan sign there? was a little confusing
Im also confused too who is that Dr. Dartagnan guy? Anyone knows??
I'm guessing it is a pseudonym and the last name's spelling, when said aloud might be a joke?
He’s a muscateer
Such a fantastic interview - what we want to hear all part of the game
i'll be sure to watch Poolman when i can, it looks fun.
i think that one of the absolute and very best flicks of all time is 2008's "Speed Racer", it deserves all the love and yet got lambasted for no good reason, currently sits at 6.1 on the internet movie database but deserves to be at the very top of the top 250 list.
I also loved Speed Racer
@@bookdmb
it's a superb flick
Look at Ryan Gosling, he is 44 years old, he made his own film. Firstly he had bad reviews and now "Lost river" is a cult movie. Don't believe the critics who has not directed their own film.
No offence, but It’s absolutely is not a cult film. Maybe one day..
LOL Lost River is a film that most people know nothing about. That isn't a cult film.
no and no. also they are hopping on the movie due to ryans success, not because the movie is good
May be "Lost river" is not a cult movie, but at least it was released in my country (Spain) with Spanish audio on 2015. Not all USA movies are released here and they compete with the european ones. I hope POOLMAN will be released too.
I am not saying if "Lost river" is a good or bad movie. A directorial debut is like an experiment and experimenting is what makes an Artist to grow up. Thank you for your comments, djozzdraper, EddieHenderson92 and kidrobot.
Chris is awesome. Great interview!!!
So much hate for this film but I feel like it’s going to be one of those films that will be appreciated 10 years or even 20 years from now
C'mon give us Dungeons & Dragons 2!
Fair play & credit to him for doing it. Great question too about taking a risk, swinging the bat etc. Much respect to Chris.
I have a crazy new respect for Chris after this all, can’t wait to watch the movie!
Loving Chris' Zoom name!
Stay strong mate.
Who is Dr Dartagnan Distifano?
Chris Pine is an awesome actor, he tried a project, who cares if it didn’t do well
so now we know who Dr. Dartagnan Distifano is!
I had an inkling
I’m confused, who was/is it?
Chris seems like such a great guy and he’s a great actor and he honestly has it all as a total package and I’m surprised I don’t see him in more movies than what I do but maybe he’s just very selective.
probably just not looking to work all the time. also he does Netflix stuff i think
He's turning into Jeff Bridges
I was just thinking, he is turning into the Dude.

Sounds like his Soap Opera name
Don't worry about the reviews. There is no bad art, only people's own twisted perceptions of what is good or bad. There's something to love (or hate) about every movie...except for Dune 2 because its perfect. I look forward to seeing Poolman because I like watching Chris Pine do Chris Pine things.
There is bad art and movies that are bad.

loved the movie !!!!
Chris Pine is slowly turning into Kurt Russell
I have to say that I have not yet seen Poolman but the trailer intrigues me and in some way I get the sense that it is the lighter side of a movie like "Under the Silver Lake" which is also an L.A. centric movie. I feel as an artist whether a film maker or musician etc, you have to just make the art you want to make in a sincere way and damn the critics. I have also noticed over the last decade how exquisitely snarky and nasty critics like to be and this darkness seems to extend to society in general. Another equation is how many people in the states and maybe even in the world love to HATE on California. They take it as a blood sport, ha. I think that is part of the equation. It also has to do with the pop morays of the day and how that relates to art. I can tell you that most younger people would likely not have the patience to enjoy a movie like "Chinatown" or "Harold and Maude" - people today hyped up by instagram and tik tok swipes have different internal clocks- the pacing of well constructed and told movies doesn't work for them. Anyway- look forward to seeing Poolman.
.. haters gonna hate 🧐😅.. still gonna watch this with all my friends tho 😎😅
This sounds like the opposite reaction a very similar "joyous film" received, that third bill and Ted released during pandemic people loved, feel for the guy
If the ever remake big trouble lion little china (god forbid). They could do worse than cast him
Chris here looking like Kenny Rogers lol
I’d watch a truly horrible movie over a meh movie any day. And there is alot of meh out there you know what I mean? There’s a market for terrible
Did Chris's fake name just get outed?
I think artists need to learn from reviews rather than reject them. If you have the vast majority of reviews saying it ain't good...then it ain't good. You need to LEARN from it. Constructive criticism. If you can't learn then you will perish as an artist. Keep crafting your skills. Don't give up. A few bad reviews builds you up if you accept to learn from them. Your ego is in your way if you don't.
Love that guy..great interview...the movie was indeed...terrible..He owns it...❤
To be honest Poolman looked like he was trying to do a Big Lebowski/Dude type of thing and it felt inauthentic. It was palpable just from the trailer. Same as Charlie Day’s Being There ripoff film. Both got slaughtered by critics and audiences.
Chris Pine is imho charismatic smart likeable and handsome, and the character he plays in Poolman is dumb and off-putting. So it's difficult to watch him act as the character
