Death Proof was shit. Most of his other movies are good.

I can see someone being underwhelmed by it, but it's far from terrible. Personally I think it's great. Sam Jackson's best Tarantino role imo. De Niro kills it. Good soundtrack.

That's an Oliver Stone joint, Tarantino just did the story. I wouldn't call it terrible as it is, but Tarantino would have elevated it if he directed it as well.

I love me some verhoeven, but that's hardly an unblemished record.

>>84907134
That's Oliver Stone, and that man absolutely has made bad movies. Probably more bad than good, actually. Man's got loads of talent; self control, not so much.

The actual hipster choice isn't tarantino though. He probably doesn't even rate. That title goes to Cohens, Wes, or maybe Spike Jonze. And they are all legitimately in the discussion.

>>84907359
great director, horrible writer. Inception was absolute garbage and reddit-tier

It's hard to make a bad movie when you never take any creative risks and just make the same thing over and over

Sucker Punch truly sucked on release. But I have suspicions it will get resurrected eventually as one of those "hey look at this weirdo movie from yesteryear" late-night cult staples. Probably needs another decade to germinate. Funny seeing it now, and realizing the villains are Oscar Isaac and Jon Hamm.

>>84907899
everyone seems to agree his early work is pretty weak

I always get hyped whenever it's announced he's making a new movie
Hopefully his next movie is stronger than Baby Driver. While not bad, it didn't really have the charm or wit his other movies had.

>>84909672
i think its ok, and yeah i definitely agree with you that it'll end up being some kinda cult film, i have definitely seen enough love for it (not that i would agree with the defence a lot of people put up for it but hey).

Good visual design as always.

Baby Driver is my favourite film of his honestly, though Hot Fuzz is still his objective best.

Did he make Paul? Because that one was straight up shit.

Speaking of FWWM, I'll add Lynch to the thread. Though I can accept people saying Dune ruins it.

nah, kidding of course, Dune sucked too. I've never been able to put my finger on what it is, but something about Lynch's style just makes me irrationally angry. It's not even the "ooh soo weird" angle, I like plenty of unconventional stuff. Whatever you guys are seeing, I've got a permanent blind spot there.

Sure is reddit in here.

>>84910149

>It's because he directs like he just came out of art school.
Could be. Every time I see something Lynch makes, I have this vision of 4 coffee-shop hipsters hanging out at a late night diner after the theatre, sipping coffee and talking about how "smart" and "deep" it is, and I want to shake them and scream "It's fucking nothing", but they can't hear me.

Clearly in the minority though, so it's probably just me.

>>84910220
>>84910370
Lynch constantly, throughly exploits expectation in a fashion that many criticize as being manipulative, That may be what irritates you. If you haven't, you should watch The Straight Story and The Elephant Man, both are great films by him that are also completely conventional. Sounds like you might just be a pretentious autist though

>>84907899
>>84908581
Lolita is one of the best book adaptations and yes he has a movie that HE considers bad and doesn't even include to his filmography, which is Spartacus. Studio made him rush and he got some problems with Kirk.

>>84910296
Aww, I forgot about Cronenberg. Probably not in the running, though, he's had many gems but also a few turds.

>>84910370
Great thing about his cinema is that he destroys the any concept of time place and character. All the time. Just like you can't ephasise with any Kubrick character,

>>84907385
You're a big guy.

>>84910394
>Lynch constantly, throughly exploits expectation in a fashion that many criticize as being manipulative
OK, so, I think I've seen all of his major entries. A few of the critical darlings (like blue velvet and the first part of twin peaks) I've watched multiple times, with escalating levels of frustration. It's not even "manipulative", it's blatant manipulation with an attached ego about how good the manipulation is. Like a magician who walks you through how his whole act is going to work, behind the scenes, and repeatedly asks you to agree how clever it is, and all you want him to do is just perform the trick already.

>Sounds like you might just be a pretentious autist though
Yeah, that's certainly a possibility.

>>84904220
>Death Proof was shit.
If you don't enjoy Kurt Russel killing annoying sluts, there is something wrong with you.

>>84910441
>Great thing about his cinema is that he destroys the any concept of time place and character
Yeah, I get that, but then he doesn't fucking USE it for anything. He's just like "oh I cast two people as the same character LOL roll credits". I'm just sitting there at the end thinking "what the hell was that all about?"

Upsetting the establishment is not an end unto itself. Guys like Bergman and Herzog upended established methods, too, but they used that disorientation to deliver themes and messages as a punch directly to your gut. I never get that with Lynch.

>>84907489
Avatar is one of the worst sci fi movies of all time. I'm not even talking about of the 100% pocahontas and Dances with the Wolves rip off, that's fine, many movies does that, it's because HOW he tells his story. The Navi are shitty unsympathetic Indians with laughable bad "nature" occult bullshit, the main character is a forgettable bland white guy who "Show the niggers how to fight, Sieg Heil 14/88", against the military in Avatar the Empire in Star Wars looks extremely diverse and complex in his action.
The ONLY good thing about that movie is the final Action Scene, that's it, else it's below average.

You have to be a grade A contrarian to call Tarantino a bad director.

He's basically the textbook example of a solid filmmaker, you won't have feel enlightened after watching one of his movies; but you will have a decent time.

You really do just sound aggressively autistic and you are projecting like mad. If you watch any interviews with him or know anything about him he doesn't come off like you are describing him at all. Blue Velvet is a fantastic and relatively straightforward thriller so I don't know what you are talking about. If you were using that to describe Inland Empire I would agree, I think that film is genuine wank and he had his head too far up his own ass.

>>84910749
you're 100% right, every character in the film was atrociously written. Betraying humanity (highly advanced spacefaring humanity no less) and dooming it to extinction for the sake of primitive blue aliens is fucking retarded but it could work as a movie if the characters were well-written but they aren't. It's also utterly asinine that they wouldn't just bomb the absolute fuck out of the Navi from high up and the Navi hippie animal force would never stand a chance against the advanced human military.

>>84910749
You totally missed the point, Anon, and the point was pretty hard to miss. James Cameron cares about the technology and industry of movies, not the movies themselves. He's not a film lover, he's an effects lover. He's a great director because he's constantly pushed the bounds of what it's possible to put on film, even though ironically almost none of his movies are timeless classics. His fingerprints are more subtle, because other directors don't copy his framing or composition, but they benefit from access to tech he and his team developed.

>>84907267
I liked the first half desu

>>84911251
Yeah, agreed, Lynch seems like a cool dude in interviews. Like I said, I've never been able to put my finger on it.

That certainly doesn't mean my brain is in good working order though. You really can't ever rule that possibility out completely.

Why are people writing articles about deathproof, or trying to separate out the different Grindhouse elements to begin with? The whole point was it was supposed to be an experience, with both films and all the commercials and previews and shit, in a trashy theatre with people shouting at the screen and throwing popcorn. And for what it was designed to be, it hit the nail squarely on the head. It was a great little slice of nostalgia and fun, and one that can't be easily reproduced.

You get some guy picking out one half of the double feature and watching it by himself on his 60" tv, and writing a critique of it? You've completely removed the work from its context. You've become one of these guys who cuts a piece of graffiti off a wall and hangs it in a gallery and then tries to analyze what it MEANS. It doesn't mean anything.

>Kill Bill 1&2 aren't good
Kill Bill is one of those divisive ones, since it's constructed almost entirely from inside jokes and winking references, that range from the obscure to the really unbelievably obscure. Nobody likes to be left out of an inside joke. It's very much a for-fans-by-fans piece, obviously with a special spotlight on guys like Bruce Lee, Shaw Bros and Sonny Chiba. If you spent your formative years like Tarantino did, soaking up vast quantities of B action movies, you'll probably be in on a most of the jokes and really enjoy Kill Bill. If not, you'll likely feel left out.
