The director also chuckled at the extreme physical discomfort his actors experienced during certain scenes, and that didn't sit right with me. I'm hoping he intended his chuckles without malice, but I didn't like it.
Directors giggling about putting actors through physical discomfort isn't anything unusual, and most everyone means and takes it in good fun (though there's certainly exceptions). You should hear Sam Raimi giggle about the joys of abusing Bruce Campbell some time.
That being said, nothing about it pinged me as being malicious at all, and in the web diaries you can watch Chris Evans talk about being abused for those scenes mostly fondly, so I don't think Boyle was being mean or abusive about it.

Then - you could do a Schlock!Artist Trilogy event.

The exceptions include William Friedkin, who comes across as the biggest asshole on the planet, and one not overly concerned with the safety of his actors, either. I think he suffers, generally, from a lack of thinking things through, which looks on screen like spontaneity but is actually something more akin to the actors and crew saving him from his own foolishness.

get arrested briefly, by the Treasury Department, because the fake money didn't look fake enough.

Anyone been to the Precious Moments Museum & Chapel? I had never seen so many people wearing pastel in my life. I had long hair in a ponytail and a conservative brown leather jacket - they could immediately tell I was not one of the pod people....
Jack Chick: The Movie!
Jack Chick should have to fight Godzilla or something....
Anyone been to the Precious Moments Museum & Chapel?
I've only been outside, and that was kinda enough. I kept driving.
From way back but because it's in my top five and I watched it last night.
I don't know how you can ask Casablanca to be more gay when it's already got Renault saying things like "She was asking about you earlier, Rick, in a way that made me extremely jealous."
What about. "Well, if I were a woman, and I weren't around, I should fall in love with Rick."
