I really think that ' s what Dez was alluding too . The whole game you can see Norman wasn ' t beating him because of skill , he was beating him because of dirty tricks . Twisting his ankle , pulling the jersey , etc . We had a lot of no calls on both sides but it was clear Norman was salty and Dez was catching on to his game which wasn ' t based on skill . We have a complete offense , shutting down one player isn ' t going to get you a win . <| sep |> After Spartacus , Kubrick would never again work without total authority over the entire picture . The rest of his films are essentially auteur pieces he would never have undertaken a project whose final cut was determined by a cabal of brand managers who were trying to sell toys . You either fundamentally misunderstand Kubrick , or you don ' t understand the yes man culture of blockbuster production that saw Edgar Wright sacked and Joss Whedon exasperated to the point of quitting .
