Quote from: ebeaman69Yeah, fuck Ratner and Peter Jackson (who is better than Ratner but still sucky)...and Todd Solondz too, I'm back to hating him now. Storytelling and Happiness are horrible movies and WTTD isn't that good after a replay or two either. If any of those 3 bastards are added, I'll eat my freaking hat. Don't add any of these guys....

-brett ratner
-james cameron
-joel schumacher
-larry clark
-michael bay
-oliver stone
-peter jackson
-ron howard
-todd solondz

you made a powerful enemy today my friend.

Lol!

You may not want to do that. I'm crazy man. I could snap.

Don't add Kevin Smith.

What a forgettable movie. Can you name me even one character from that film?
and yes, sarcasm is very evident in this post. My feelings for Dead Alive and PJ can be summed up in my avatar
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Oh yeah, cause you have to be a genius to like Larry Clark and James Cameron's films...they are just so fucking complex. I mean, just look at any of Clark's films: naked young girls, profanity, and...naked young girls...ummm, yeah. Try to understand that and then do my math homework.

actually, naked young girls are complex  -- you have to be pretty smart to figure them out...

Yep, I agree completely with ebeaman, Larry Clark is awful. I saw that movie Another Day In Paradise... I mean, I really enjoy James Woods, but that was just dreck!! Tried to be harsh like Scorsese a la Taxi Driver, tried to be hip like Tarantino a la Pulp Fiction. Was neither. Just plain sucked.

I don't have any problem with Stone or Jackson or Cameron, though. I think Stone and Cameron are a bit overrated, but they've both made their share of fine films. I think JFK alone warrants Stone's greatness.

But Clark... I don't get it. I like the whole nude chicks thing as much as the next guy, but his films look like ten dollar weekend shoots by some perverted hack with a zero attention span. Hmm.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

stone deserves all the credit he gets. hes not overrated what so ever. im not even a huge fan of his films, but i in no way denounce his brilliance as a director. i think hes one of the few modern directors that has a destinct "body" of work --  he has stuck to his guns and developed a unique style all his own -- which is MUCH easier said than done. i think theres a lot to be said about a director who gets pictures made under HIS terms -- he's as close to fitting the "autuer" mold as one can get.

yep yep yep, no burn on Stone whatsoever. Just mean to say he's not an essential director for me. Except JFK, like I said. But I agree, he must be given credit.

its not so much a question of intelligence rather a question of good taste.
