Clerks 2 looks like a steaming pile of shit.

Wrong...but that's cool, you'll be happily surprised.

I chose Woody Allen because he does still kick ass and he's my favorite filmmaker of all.

Really? It just looks like a rehash with them working somewhere else. I thought Clerks was good because it is easy to relate to 20 year olds that need to get off the pot or shit. I can't relate to 30 year old guys that are acting the same way that they did as when they were 20 and still working a shitty job.

And it is in color! Part of the charm of Clerks was that it was in black and white.

I don't think Shyamalan is that great, Unbreakable was good, but The Village was really disappointing. Signs was OK, and so was the 6th sense, I kept him because a lot of people like him.

I put Sofia Coppola up there because a lot of people really love the two movies she has made. I like Lost in Translation, but her new movie looks really stupid.

Everyneurotic · 05.10.2006, 09:17 AM

the virgin suicides is one of the worst excuses for film making ever. i was beyond disappointed with that movie. haven't seen lost in translation all the way thru, but it doesn't look that good.

candymoan · 05.10.2006, 09:35 AM

you forgot cronenberg..

Lost in Translation is pretty much a shoegazer film. It is very pretty, but also sort of sleepy and vague. So a lot of people hate it.

Everyneurotic · 05.10.2006, 09:43 AM

weird, i love "shoegazer" music.

miranda july was a video & performance artist before doing me & you etc-- so i don't know if she has more "features" in her. still i have a sort of mind crush on her weird persona. her movie had brilliant writing but i don't know if as a whole it is a "masterpiece". most people don't "get" what goes into a movie, all the many aspects that must converge. am i wasting my time here attempting explanations?

as for "the best", im not sure the poll covers all the options.

i like guy maddin a lot. and wes anderson. and jim jarmusch. and sofia did a beautiful job with lost in translation. sideway was NOT boring, had great writing, but the cinematography was pure shit. but don't forget other countries. francois ozon for example. and there are a couple of chinese dudes whose name i cannot spell. actually chinese movies are kicking everything else out of the water these days; at least in terms of cinematography we're talking spectacular gems... the thing with kubrickl, he is dead, so i dont get if by "of our time" it is meant the past couple of years or the past 5 decades.

but i have not finished my coffee yet and i am rambling. need to focus. blah blah. i have work to do. oh, and shaylaman is shit, not just because of the obvious alliteration. it's because he is shit and so are the people who love him. so this poll is on crack. goodbye for now.

HaydenAsche · 05.10.2006, 12:41 PM

Wes Anderson. Hands down.

ah, the poll also misses almodovar. the poll is on crack.

HaydenAsche · 05.10.2006, 12:46 PM

Ozon? Never heard of it.

I don't know if I could ever find anything more enjoyable than Bottle Rocket.

!@#$%! · 05.10.2006, 12:50 PM

figures. do yourself a favor. get "criminal lovers" by francois ozon. and he has a dvd of his short films too. what the fuck are you doing worshipping hetero movies. in love with the mexican maid? hah.

Forget the poll, it is too hard to separate who is of our time and of the time before us. Oh well.

I find bottle rocket to be the least enjoyable of all his movies. Maybe I'm emo and I like the other ones better because of the tearjerker moments or something.

You must be. I haven't seen the Life Aquatic yet, though. It may be good. I wrote off Television and Movies a year ago.

umjammer atomsk · 05.10.2006, 02:01 PM

I liked Zissou, but it wasn't that great. I liked the search and destroy bit when Bill Murray started blasting all of the pirates.

There is a handful of great scenes and stuff throughout the film but overall i felt it was kind of dry.
