What Just Happened is just one in a long history of movies about making movies. What makes one director take this (perhaps solipsistic and self-indulgent choice?) while others steer clear? Is it truly best to take the adage "film what you know" to heart? As with the great history of writers writing about other writers with writing block, do we want our art/entertainment to be so self-aware? Do we care what it's like to experience the terrible troubles of Hollywood/making movies? As with any other genre, the answer: Sometimes. And here's a list of some sometimeses to check out:
