Title: where directors store their talent
Post by: matt35mm on August 10, 2012, 12:05:42 PM
Listen, all I'm saying is that extraordinary talent is always held physically in the body somewhere. There's Samson's hair, and there's Peter Jackson's fat. This is all in The Bible, folks.

It's EXCRUCIATING to watch Ethan Coen talk. He's always picking at his teeth or itching his face or some shit.

It definitely has something to do with Ethan's teeth that bugs me. He must have really dry lips, wherein his directing talent is stored..

I have the same problem with Todd Solondz, he makes the WORST fucking smacking noises when he talks. "mmmm, (smack) well... (smack). (*Licks lips, audibly. Applies chapstick*) I prefer it to be ambiguous...(smack)"

So telling. That little 'eek' moment. Most directors are phony as hell and start clapping and smiling like an ass for the camera when they lose.

no. I don't know what you is saying. A bloodied up boxer would be totally out of place in that movie.


Hurt Locker is in on Tv as I write this. How's your tv working Ty? Do you even get Tv in D.R.?

1. I bet Bigelow has "Bloodied-up boxers" all over her room... If you know what I is saying.

hahaha you know what I is saying..


Before this gets out of hand with berating me personally, I have to clarify that I was asking Ty that dumb question because I gave him access to my cable and was sincerely wondering if it worked down there.

PM me for free cable and I'll decide if you're cool enough ( you don't wanna miss Breaking Bad )

if it works in D.R. it should work anywhere..

Bigelow talk got me thinking hottest female directors. Hot as in attractive, yet also awesome.

I didn't include Orson Welles because he wasn't fat when made his best movie.

^I'll do Sergio Leone since he pretty much ate the spaghetti western leaving no leftovers for anyone who showed up late.

Doing fat directors harkens back to why this thread was created in the first place and brings it full circle.

Guillermo Del Toro has to consume and digest at least four out of five upcoming projects to stay alive.
