Tarantino REALLY hates digital :lol


Really like what David O. Russell had to say

[Terahite]

Ridley Scott hasn't made a really good movie since Blade Runner. :facepalm And he's a raging bore to boot. Startin to look like the nigguh on the oatmeal box.

Won't even comment on QT who is completely talentless. His presence there is an insult to the other hack directors. Inarritu makes decent movies with some artistic integrity but they are ultimately forgettable.

A better round table would've been:

Alex Garland (Ex Machina)
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year)
Andrew Dominic (Killing them Softly)

^^^Those are some intelligent newer filmmakers with something to say, not Oscar-bait fakkit directors

Hell even George Miller (Mad Max) deserves a place there over Ridley Scott.

You're a real fukking idiot. I hope you get raped in a movie theatre and no one helps out and they shush you as you're left there sobbing on the sticky popcorn covered floor.

Not attacking or disagreeing, but just outta curiosity.... Are you in the industry?

No. :pimp:

literally 2 meme directors

why would you watch this?:facepalm

I haven't watched this. I'll try to when I get home. But like him or not, the guy is usually a good interview. And on this topic, he's usually even better. Because while I agree he's not exactly a visionary, he does have a particular reverence for film. Especially of genre stuff.

Garland I like but he's still a writer becoming a film maker. Although gun to my head Ex Machina is probably my favorite movie of the year.

All three of Chandor's flicks I really liked, with A Most Violent Year on my short list of for last year (I would love to see a sequel worked off of it, but it almost certainly wasn't financially successful enough).

Dominic made The Assassination of Jesse James, which is among my favorites. But I thought Killing Them Softly was a little overdone, and haven't seen Chopper.


It's a good list though.

Glad there's someone else here with decent taste. And it's great to hear Chandor's other films are worth checking out (haven't seen them). Props for the recommendations.

I'll admit I was trolling a bit with my original reply; all of the directors included in this round table currently have films out (which seemed to be the purpose of this plugfest) whereas the ones I listed do not. I just wanted to mention them and also bash some of these guys.

I hadn't actually clicked on the link before making that post so I didn't notice some of the others involved: I do think David O. Russell and Tom Hooper are both talented. Not sure about Danny Boyle.

Margin Call is good. All Is Lost is flawed but interesting.

I haven't liked most of Tom Hooper's stuff, which feels stuffy to me even with the material being stuffy usually. It's got a sort of by the book metre to it for me. Boyle is an excellent filmmaker even if sometimes it feels like his films are more well made than their content warrants. Sometimes it feels like he's taken a dare from somebody. Like I bet you can't make 2 hours of James Franco stuck in a rock palatable. But he usually the film will pop in spots even when it doesn't seem like it should.
