Great Filmmakers of our time

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.09.2006, 06:17 PM

For me I'd say it is a split between Wes Anderson and Jean Pierre Jeunet. I didn't list Miranda July because she only made one full length so far.

I included M. Night Shyamalan because he seems to be like the new Spielberg or something.

I guess I should have included Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino as well, but oh well, I already made the poll. Anyways, Clerks 2 looks like a steaming pile of shit.

nomadicfollower · 05.09.2006, 06:33 PM

Well, shit, I know must the shit Wes Anderson did, and I pretty much like all his stuff. I like how he composes his movies, where they seem more like theater (in a sense) then film.

Yeah, I spelled it right in my second post.

Wes Anderson's makes great use of music in his movies to manipulate your emotions.

normadic do you live in a cave? on the moon even hehe

Hah, I guess it would seem that way. No, actually, I don't. I'm not a big movie buff. I can't stand movies longer then an hour and a half and most the movies I've seen have ruined my taste for film.

johnnywinternoshow · 05.09.2006, 06:42 PM

Wes anderson is quite overrated if you ask me, I'm really enthousiastic about his movies until the 3rd or 4th time I see them by then I'm really really bored.

I agree with lynch, jarmusch, gondry, jeunet and jonze

nomadicfollower · 05.09.2006, 06:49 PM

I've seen the Shining and I did enjoy it.
Though I've heard of Scarface and Halloween, I've yet to see them.

It wasn't that great...a bit boring...

nomadicfollower · 05.09.2006, 06:59 PM

Not sure if can handle it.
Am I the only one who can't sit through a 3 hour long movie? No matter how good it is, I will get bored with it.
I do want to watch it, though, since I've heard so many good things about it.

Man, I think a movie isn't long enough if it is 90 minutes long.

the last slow burning gem i saw was "sideways", very fucking funny.

See, I thought Sideways was boring and fucking loved Royal Tennenbaums. I think you have to live in a big crazy family to get Royal Tennenbaums.

Did you see coffee and cigarettes? If so, you probably thought it was boring too, right? Thats the Jarmusch style.
