    Have you watched The Lighthouse yet?
  • @CWRardin
    I wish there was a way to buy stock in Robert Eggers.
  • @chopin65
    It's like being present at the beginning of Kubrick's career. He is an amazing talent.
  • All this time he's detailing his process I can't help but think... Why'd ye spill yer beans...
  • @burpie3258
    "The Witch can't just appeal to people who are alive in the 1630s and The Lighthouse can't just appeal to people who are alive in the 1890s because there's not enough graveyard screenings for that to be profitable" I love his sense of humour.
  • @XYouVandal
    Robert Eggers is the chosen one that can bring "Blood Meridian" to the screen.
  • @blakeandcamp
    One the best directors working today. Two films and they're both masterpieces. Can't wait to see what he does with The Northman.
  • @sidework1
    A24 must be treating Eggers & Aster like thier Kobe & Lebron
  • @durden2480
    He’ll definitely win best director one day. Like that award matters anymore
  • @dorkle9085
    As a screenwriter, this man inspires me to write. And write BETTER. To make me research, masterpiece writer and director!
  • @tmsskits
    The man is a genius. The Lighthouse is an underground gem and will become a classic in the future
  • @jameswatts6464
    I'm so happy knowing there's people like this making cinema, a genuine talent that will become one of the greats
  • @gerunkwon2598
    Massive thanks to his brother for pushing for the seagulls. They were one of the best parts of the film.
  • @fhowland
    Within two minutes it’s apparent that this man is extremely intelligent. It’s so exciting to think that he’s only at the beginning of his career.
  • @AGoodJoe
    The Lighthouse was the best film of the last year and at the very least deserved more attention.
  • @bluesroad9606
    He will be on the greatest directors of this generation!
  • I've been reading The Lighthouse screenplay while listening to the soundtrack.
