Completely unimpressive... once you have a word and it's corresponding back-word, you just strategically place them to make it a palendrome.

When it's just random words like that, it's just someone who wasted way to much fucking time.

Michael Mann Directing Tonight, He Comes

According to Variety, Artisan Pictures has set Michael Mann to direct Tonight, He Comes, a drama that was scripted by Vincent Ngo and will be produced by Akiva Goldsman. Filming will start sometime in 2004.

The project is about a tortured superhero who crash-lands in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and tries to revitalize himself by romancing an alluring housewife -- causing chaos in the city.

"I've always felt it was one of the best unmade scripts," said Goldsman, who'll produce under his Weed Road banner. "Anytime I've spoken to someone in a position of power, I've asked them to buy it."

"The character starts out potent and effective, and when the will to do what he's supposed to do wanes, he finds himself in this existential crisis," added the studio's Richard Saperstein.

Wait, what about Paul Thomas Anderson? That guy fucking rocks!
Some people say I was an embarassment to the nation. Well, I say, that depends on what your definition of "was" is, jerk.

Some of my favorites have been mentioned- Paul Thomas Anderson, Alexander Payne, the always-controversial Todd Solondz (misanthropy is WAY too unpopular these days!)- but one who I think of as equally promising has not.

TODD HAYNES
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

I really, really, REALLY think Oliver Stone should be added. There's forums for directors like Darren Aronofsky and Wes Anderson who've made very few movies while Stone has made more than a dozen- and counting. I know there's a question of quality over quantity but I think all of Stone's films are great. The only one I haven't seen of his is Salvador and the only one I didn't care for was U-turn.

Just tell me these aren't GREAT movies:

Platoon

Born On The Fourth Of July

JFK

Nixon

Scarface (was written by him)

Wall Street

The Doors

Talk Radio

Natural Born Killers

Midnight Express (written by him)

Any Given Sunday

and other great other flicks, too.

He really needs to be added, IMO. Just my 2 1/2 cents.

Stone's great but I'm happy that two of my three favourite directors already are on the discussion boards: Wes Anderson and David Fincher. But my absolutely favourite directors has not been added to date: The incredible Peter Jackson.

O mem sahib, Bart.  Rabbi has memo.

And there are too many directors forums already, IMO.  It'd just be nice if the discussions in those forums were more active.

A lot of you are probably familiar with Alfred Hitchcock - word on the street is that he was good.

Quote from: _fpsI heard about this director named Hitchcock - the word on the street is he was good. Maybe he could get a board...

With only two pages of discussion so far, it ain't happenin':
