Auteur Watch - James G. Brown

Okay, so... he's a Second Unit Director.  Don't they get their day in the sun ever?  If they have to act like a prick on behalf of the Director, do they not bleed?  Is this man not a Christian hero?  Well, he should be, and here's why.  He was a mere Assistant Cameraman on all these 'R' rated features in the 1990s... and that was back when the 'R' rating was really coming into its own, at least until 'PG-13' threatened to overtake it.  And so, he finally decided, after taking all those night classes on becoming a director, what the hell... heck.  I've got a chance to be a Second Unit Director on this nice 'PG'-rated pic called Healer, and... okay, so that was a dead end.  Back to the 'R' rated stuff, but the trail goes cold after 1999.  Well, some of us had a tougher time getting through all that millennial doom.
P.S., doesn't this poster look like a first draft of an episode of "Seinfeld"?  Maybe it's an Italian episode of "Seinfeld," who knows.
