ITT: Directors and their musical equivalents. Nolan = Radiohead.

Wes Anderson = Vampire Weekend

Who's Michael Bay?
Swans?

>>51317438
Swans is David Lynch

I know films are more than just their plots and all but fucking christ every Nolan film I've seen is such a fucking mess

>>51317396
Highly accurate

>>51317476

coen brothers?

>>51317493
simon and garfunkel

sounds like same shit all over again but gets touchy-feely everytime you hear it

>>51317438
Nickelback

Kevin Smith - Andrew Jackson Jihad

Always the same lame jokes , technically mediocre and repetetive but overhyped by their diehard fans and critics.

Tim Burton = Queen
very overrated, but not that bad, but also not really that good

>>51317551
huh, surprisingly accurate. i was thinking BoC for a similar reason

also who's the Bela Bartok of film?

Who's the Charlie Chaplin of music?

Stanley Kubrick is AnCo

orson welles - the beatles

>>51317572
Tim Burton is My Chemical Romance

Terry Gilliam- Acid Mothers Temple,
great ideas but execution is hit or miss, wordy and breathy, trippy as fuck

>>51317601
actually kubrick is the beatles

maybe alfred hitchcock

>>51317497
>except for Momento
Nigga, what? The only one with a strictly nonlinear narrative is the only one that you can keep straight?

Leni Riefenstahl

>>51317594
>Stanley Kubrick
nah i'd say bowie
they're both really mainstream, yet they're still hailed as artistically conscious by critics and art enthusiasts alike. also, both were active during the late 60s and 70s and both had a great variety within their art

>>51317601
>>51317631
As in mainstream but still very accomplished in their craft?

>>51317594
But AnCo is shit and Kubrick is not.

Steven Soderbergh - Merzbow
critically acclaimed but unpleasant to listen/watch

>>51317594
no, not, nah

any more suggestions for kuburick?

Gaspar Noé - Death Grips

>>51317667
pink floyd

>>51317438

Tommy Wiseau is Kanye West
both is shit

Kurosawa?
Bergman?
Coppola?

Ingmar Bergman = Bob Dylan

Prolific, generally high quality output, several masterpieces but also a few duds, well known and respected among people at a certain level of interest in the corresponding art-form, particularly praised for their writing ability, highly influential, peaked in the '60s

Who is James Cameron?

>>51317576
Bergman

>>51317667
Zappa
>>51317702
That's Andrei Tarkovsky

>>51317601
No that's Woody Allen.

Both hailed highly but both are shit.

Who is Music equal of Harmony Korine?

Lars Von Trier?

>>51317721
No you see Wiseau people like because they know he's shit
people actually think Kanye is good

>>51317731
Celine Dion

>>51317659
Yeah I guess.

Welles was a bad choice though.

Kubrick is probably a better example. Accessible and mainstream yet still great. Varied in style too.

Alfred Hitchcock is probably the closest. Classic, respected, accessible and acclaimed.

Film works a little different than music though. The most acclaimed movies and directors are generally the best

>>51317749
Sun City Girls

>>51317667
I'd say Kubrick is Death Grips

Public opinion is kinda controversial, do what they want, content that's not exactly for the people all the time but still has a pretty large fanbase, and experimental enough to appeal to people who like that while remaining conventional to appeal to a large audience

>>51317749
the music tapes

>>51317721
Nah Wiseau is Chief Keef

Steven Spielberg = Led Zep
nostalgic, critically acclaimed, good movies/albums, hipsters tend to dislike them just for being sucessfull

>>51317731
Kanye
>mainstream
>adored by critics
>actually pretty mediocre

>>51317438
Michael Bay is Muse

ok pleb

>>51317749
Aphex Twin

>>51317775
Yeah, you might be right about that. One other thing they both have in common is that their die-hard fans are absolutely unbearable to be around

>>51317795
>>actually pretty mediocre

>james cameron
>mediocore

>kanye
>mediocore

Nigga please

>>51317775
Kubrick is a slow paced perfectionist, we're talking about styles here, not about the fanbase or popularity.

>>51317790
Led Zeppelin is way better than Steven Spleberg

Spike Jonze? Michel Gondry?

>>51317670
>not Coil

>>51317702
great connection, but it think the aspect of being way ahead of his time and still being very underrated is still missing

>>51317751
post-reunion Swans

>>51317749
Harmony Korine could be Swans or The Knife but also Tim Hecker

>>51317813
Not all Kubrick is slow paced

Plus he has a lot of really intense moments

Death Grips is Trecartin, shut the fuck up already

>>51317702

sooOoOO quirky

I listen to more music than you fagtron

beatles a shit///im listening to power electronics right now just listened to pete swanson

Pete Swanson = 10.10

I HAVE BETTER MUSIC AND FILM TASTE THAN YOU

I probably have more music in my library than you. it's cute that you think you're better than me

>pleb

yeah cuz hating both of those hacks is plebish. I know I'm patrician. I really like generative noise music and actually MAKE EAI

Do you even have a band?

Though so faggot.

>>51317396
Quentin Tarantino is Death Grips

artistic with depth of meaning and experimentation but the initial enjoyment comes from the testosterone and violence

>>51317749
As far as his filmography goes I think it mirrors Swans for the most part.

>>51317851
naw he's syd barrett

>>51317882

Tarantino is Metallica

>>51317866
eric meme, bro.

But Swans are good

Wachowski Brothers? Any ideas?

>>51317913
Defend yourself as to why Korine is bad.

Peter Jackson - The National

Some pretty generic non-fitting stuff at the beginning than hitting it big

>>51317904
Nah Tarantino is Melvins

>>51317749
Yung Lean or Daniel Johnston

Who is Malick of Music?

What about Weezer?

>>51317882
Nah, I think Tarantino's more similar to Kanye.

Egotistical artist who sees themselves as some kind of god in their craft, but really don't do anything new with the genre.

Everyone has been saying this for a while.

>>51317924
Against me!

>>51317941
He's actually kind of genuis

>>51317943
Kanye west

>>51317943
Can't really back this up but I'm kinda feeling Sigur Ros

Hayao Miyazaki is Midori, because it's japanese and absolutely fantastic

>>51317904
Tarantino might be super entry-level but don't act like Pulp Fiction (for example) isn't a great piece of art.

>>51317747
That comparison works on literally zero levels

It's pretty obvious you just wanted to call the Beatles and Woody Allen shit

What's the point of posting if you're not even going to think about what you're saying? The fun is making an accurate comparison

>>51317968
metallica is good too

Who is..?

>The Doors

>The Jimi Hendrix Experince

>Neutral Milk Hotel

>Merzbow

>The Shaggs
>you already know it's Wiseau

>>51317941
>Korine - Dan Johnston

Fucking agree, a genius that some might consider a retard or untalented.

>>51317953
>I have terrible taste

>>51317968
It's a great fucking movie but no, he's not artsy.

>>51317947
Ridley Scott. Started real promising but can't stop making shit, and every release is posited as a return to form.

who is Scorsese

(scrosese is goat btw)

>>51318016
Could be Kevin Smith too

>>51318022
Hmm any 90's rapper probably

>>51317953
Ah yes I remember being in 9th grade and seeing Gummo and thinking that I'd stumbled upon a goldmine.

>>51318014
I would say Death Grips is the less artistic of the two honestly

Itt: all directors are kanye

>>51318042
that actually might work better actually

Edgar Wright = Panda Bear

>Self aware and funny, kind of gimmicky but in a charming way
>Both don't really seem to deviate from their styles, their contributions are usually kind of repetitive
>Long list of frequent collaborators, however they both have core people that they are most known for working with (AnCo, Frost and Pegg)
>Both have a whimsicality and surrealness in their work
>Similar popularity: Neither are huge stars but if you know anything about music or cinematography then you know them
>Spaced = STGSTV. Came out the same time, mostly known for being the first instance of collaboration between parties (Wright, Pegg, and Frost/Avey Tare and Panda Bear)
>Shaun of the Dead = Sung Tongs. Both came out in 2004 and were many people's first exposure
> Hot Fuzz = Strawberry Jam, both came out in 2007. Considered by many to be their best work although die hards might go for something more obscure
> The World's End = Centipede Hz. The end of an era but a piece of art that ultimately falls short of it's predecessors. Many felt that this movie/album was a bit too dark and hectic compared to Wright's/Noah's previous output.

>>51317396
not really, Radiohead is way better at what they do than Nolan at what he does (not saying he's bad though). I would say Radiohead = Paul Thomas Anderson. Also, Steven Spielberg = The Beatles, Martin Scorsese = The Rolling Stones, Kubrick = ?

imgar bergman - velvet underground

both overrated talentless hacks

Is Terrence Malick Talk Talk

>>51317943
gavin bryars?

>>51318151
this is actually a really good comparison. Still love Worlds End way more than it seems people do though.

>>51318022
scorsese is really hard, but i think you could give lou reed that place

both have made inventions on several different kinds of genres over a long time period and both have always despite being popular looked into more unfamiliar scenes

>>51317943
Some ambient shit

>>51317796
Michael Bay doesn't think his shit is smart. I think Foo Fighters is fitting.

>>51318153
>Also, Steven Spielberg = The Beatles, Martin Scorsese = The Rolling Stones

Can ya shutup

>>51318022
The Strokes

>>51318001
>I measure all other taste against my own

>>51318141
No reason that I can imagine being particularly convincing, I think the atmosphere (bleak and glacial) of the 2 is fairly similar (No One Is There came to mind in particular). I've only seen Cries and Whispers, Wild Strawberries, Seventh Seal, From The Life Of The Marionettes & Persona though.

>>51318164
not sure, Laughing Stock is more accessible than The Tree of Life, although both are great
>>51318205
yeah, both know exactly what they are doing, and do it successfully

Faust is Svankmajer

>>51318211
why?

>>51318153
I agree with Paul Thomas Anderson=Radiohead, not just with the Jonny Greenwood connection. Both were derivative but great in the beginning. Early Radiohead is very much standard alt rock, and early PTA is very Scorcese, but both discovered their voice in auteurism: Radiohead with OK Computer and I would argue PTA with Punch Drunk Love.

>>51318205
>>51318235
see
>>51317552

Bay is clearly nickelback. Foo Fighters would be Peter Jackson

>>51318256
Spielberg might be arguably accurate but Scorsese is far more talented than the stones.

>>51318268

Foo Fighters is shit

JJ Abrams is St. Vincent

Death in June = Leni Riefenstahl ?

>>51318331
>st vincent
>interesting

>>51318349
bretty good, both use alot of nazi-ideology, but deny to mean it like it sounds

>>51317968
it's not a great piece of art; great art leaves an impression. QT makes great popcorn flicks.

>>51318265
That was my thought process. Both started good, but with obvious inspirations and not very different than other artists at the moment (Sidney and Pablo Honey). Then, for both of them, their second work was great and they started finding their own style (Boogie Nights and The Bends). Then, the third time around, they finally defined their own style and made something truly unique (OK Computer and Magnolia), which can be considered the best work from both (there is also Kid A and There Will Be Blood).

>>51317476
This, I always thought Soundtracks for the Blind was like the soundtrack for a non-existing Lynch firlm

>>51318291

Scorsese is great, but fuck you

M. Night Shyamalan - Dire Straits

They both dropped one masterpiece and everyone expected more but nope just mediocre uninspired shit

Stanley Kubrick
>captain Beefheart

>>51318419
yeah exactly. I guess Magnolia would work better. I'm just really fucking partial to Punch Drunk Love

>>51318291
It's not all about quality though (I agree, Scorsese is way better), but their both classics from the 70s. But know that I think about it, I think The Doors are a better equivalent (great mainstream movies and music, while still being artistic, innovative, and interesting)

>>51318232
That's fair enough, I guess, an atmospheric connection is as good a reason as any
I think I'll stick with Dylan though, if for no other reason than because Bergman is my fav director and Dylan is one of my fav musicians

>>51318461
>dropped one masterpiece
Nigga you best be talking about Unbreakable

>>51318498
Signs actually.

>>51318477
why do people find her attractive?

>>51318477
eh, I dont think Kubrick requires nearly as much effort to grasp. Maybe to appreciate fully. Plus Beekheart compromised his vision later in his career and Kubrick remained true to his work to the end.

>>51318330
The Walkmen? Both released two strong pieces of work, then two of their absolute weakest, then turning around and releasing their darkest work. Then just great shit from there.

>>51318477
this might be the kuburick suggestion i mostly agree with

the unnecessary pic destroy your vicious images tho

That's pretty good, actually.

Nicolas Winding Refn - Kavinsky
Christopher Nolan - Hans Zimmer

how dare you insult radiohead

James Cameron = Johann Sebastian Bach

We can all agree, good.

>>51318696
/tv/ go

What about Uwe Boll?

>>51318562
Both Kubrick and Beefheart were very demanding/ borderline abusive to the artists they worked with

>>51317882
agreed actually

>>51318562
If you compare 2001 to let's say say full metal jacket i think you can see that kubrick took a different attempt there and made the movies more accessible to more people, while 2001 still is very inaccessible, at least as much as TMR

Not a director but,

Nicholas Cage and Dave Mathews
>no matter much you want them to fuck off and stop making movies/music they both just seem to keep churning out shit

Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick (The Blair With Dudes) - Slint

Ahead of their time but unable to make a career out of it but very influential for following artists.

>>51318745

discuss

>>51319124
I'm feeling Danny Brown
Besides the obvious "lel they're both black" thing, they're both relatively new faces, neither of them have done very much yet, they've both already dropped a masterpiece (XXX/Hunger) even though they've yet to realize their full potential, they're both likely to be remembered as legends in a few decades (assuming they keep up the same standard of work/devotion to the craft that they're currently operating on)

>>51319121
his soundtracks are usually really good, surprised he hasn't included my bloody valentine in any of his films

>>51317601

>Sofia Coppola - Slowdive

>Harmony Korine (later) - Throbbing Gristle OR Skrillex
Violence, horror, sex, pleasure, power, anomie

Guys, who is Michael Moore?

>>51318784
Eh, I wouldn't say he compromised his art to make Full Metal Jacket, it is more accessible sure, but that is only because it is an entirely different type of movie. Look at Eyes Wide Shut, are you calling that accessible?

Because "albums" are a made up construct nobody actually gives a fuck about aside from a few autists and rockists.

>>51318302
I don't know who made them but A Serbian Film or Salo: 120 Days Of Sodom are at a similar level of disturbing perverseness as the stuff Peter Sotos been involved in.

>>51319564
Borgore or Skrillex

>>51319418
This is pretty good,
But why do all these comparisons have to be in relation to how the artists are perceived by the general public.
Surely there are more important factors

>>51317396

no man, nolan is clearly Eminem. think about it.

as for radiohead, I agree that PTA makes sense

>>51319654
or why do directors get nearly the fame and acknowledgement as the actors but the writers do not?

Who is the Charlie Kaufman of music?

>>51319710
because otherwise it's probably hard to give comparisons. It's tougher to draw specific parallels in different forms of art than general impressions.
