[Pain]

and it stars Nicolas Cage.

No f'king thank you.

Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Keitel is one of the most powerful movies ever made. Another classic being disgraced.

I say give it a chance maybe... maybe he will actually make a decent performance.

Nicolas Cage! Val Kilmer!!! Eva Mendes and Fairuza Balk...
Sounds good to me :gaysign:

Also,
Before you badmouth Cage, check my signature(Also, i think Werewolf Women of the S.S is getting made into a film ).

 

[Pain]

^^^ you forgot 50 cent.

Some movies should never have sequels or remakes. Bad Lieutenant stands on its own.

How's that talentless hack Rob Zombie going to make that if he's already planning another Halloween?

talentless hack

Quentin Tarantino? Synonomous with "talentless hack".
Rob Zombie's movies I have not watched. Are they really on the same level as Tarantino?

Huh? Tarantino is a fine director.

Tarantino is a fine director.

IMO, better writer than director, & completely Over-rated, 2 bit hack that has stolen everyone of his ideas from the classics, & takes credit for the work of others as his own to push his brand of CHEESE.
My friends argue with me about this too, I just don't like him. Sorry. I'll STFU.
Reservoir dogs and Pulp fiction are good movies, same cinematographer Andrzej Sekula, coincedence? maybe, maybe not. Jackie Brown had Guillermo Navarro as cinematographer. I haven't seen the Kill Bill's, really have no desire to. I'm sure Richardson did a fine job & Quentin took all the credit.

*sigh*

He hasn't stolen from anyone, which is a weak criticism to begin with, though I hear it quite often. He's used previously seen ideas and meshed them together to form a unique conglomerate of expression, combining French New Wave aesthetics with relevant concerns. He has never denied his influences and instead embraces them. Still, what's important is that he understands the movies he's inspired by to a tee, something most directors working today don't. Has he lifted shots or direct dialogue? Yes, but only because he liked it as his films are generally a patchwork of filmic movement in an exercise of postmodernism. It's hardly cheese and can only be seen as such if one looks at his pictures on the surface, instead of realizing the ornate nature of the immediate level is just that - ornate. Real considerations still lie below the surface and comment greatly on the utilization of cinema as an expressive art in and of itself. He has an innate understanding of film, openly talks about his motifs, and geniusly mixes cinematic worlds on a whim. He wears his influence on his sleeves, sure, but these aren't the qualities of a hack.

This is generalizing and lazy to the point where I'll barely bother. The cinematographer is important, though Tarantino spends a good time behind the lens himself and puts great care into constructing shots and sequences. He actually shot Death Proof himself, which, yes, is his worst movie but hardly at the fault of the cinematography. You're placing too much emphasis on a individual here, particularly the DP, or rather you're taking too much credit away from the director, whose vision is what the film truly reflects. The Kill Bill movies are both excellent, its second installment being one of the best of the decade.

I value your opinion and will watch them.

Having not clicked the imdb link before, I didn't realize Herzog was directing this. Now I'll definitely be there, likely opening day.

^^ A fact that I'm sure the "Blacksheep Coppola" is banking on, considering he hasn't done a thing worth watching since Lord of War 2005, Not counting Grindhouse didn't see it. Werner is excellent, his last 4 movies have been amazing.
