Yes, The IMDB hack league. May as well have mentioned Nichols and Tarantino for how much of a juvenile redditor cunt you've made yourself look already.

Until Scorsese dies you can't convince me there's anyone better, but yes, Inarritu is damn good. David Fincher also really interests me. He's a real auteur director, in the original definition of the word. He doesn't have this obsessive vision that overrides all sense and good taste, like Tarantino, but he has an extremely distinct, purposeful style, and he brings it to any project he works on. He's not very creative, but he's intensely good at his craft.

But that does highlight how absurd the idea of a "most talented director" is. Directorial styles and disciplines are so hugely varied, how can you compare anyone? I think Gareth Evans is a phenomenal martial arts action director, but how can you say that his skill at creating the most brutal, inventive fight scenes of the last decade is better or worse than Paul Thomas Anderson's ability to wring emotion and tension out of every single layer of a shot?

By the standards of whatever garbage hollywood is pumping out then sure, whatever I don't care. Like pointing to a mediocre hamburger and then giving it the faint praise of it being better than all the hamburgers prepared by literal down's syndromes. I'm still not going to eat it.

Goodfellas may look good next to Norbit and Titanic but it does not stand in the leagues of the art auteur elite. Hence the claim that he was artistically dead since KoC. Maybe he can shovel out better "entertainment" product than his peers still, but he is certainly no relevant artist.

They really aren't that similar. Festival awards are given by a small, rotating jury of peers, the Academy is hundreds of old men who produced a movie once 30 years ago and still get to vote, so the winners are much more populist. Plus festival jurors actually have to watch the films before voting.

They are predominantly old men, its silly to think that doesn't skew the voting somewhat.

No that's the opposite of good film making. The best of cinema has only be appreciate with the elite, those with decades of cinematic training. This cinema leaves the unqualified bored, antagonized and confused. The more a film enables low cinema IQ viewers the worse the art is. If a film is enjoyed by 16 year olds just getting into taking the medium seriously then that alone disqualifies it from being quality art.

Erm, yes? It's completely normal to read up on the director of the film before you watch it. Race, gender and sexuality are key points when deciding which movie to watch.
Sometimes if I see a movie involuntarily like if it started on TV or a friend puts it on I'll have to check afterwards but I always read into the people who made the films I consume. Being gay, female or a racial minority is a big red flag for a garbage film.

Well if you take art seriously you should be an "uptight twat" in the eyes of the film casual. And if you don't take art seriously you have no place on this board.

I'm not that guy, but being this certain that you're so incredibly intelligent is a pretty big sign of a lack of intelligence. You seem unable to question yourself, and beyond certain about the fact that you're part of an elite group of people, destined to greater things and allowed a deeper understanding of the world itself.
I don't disagree that most people are retarded, but I'm not stupid enough to discard the possibility that I my self might be retarded.

"I think there’s nothing wrong with being fixated on superheroes when you are seven years old, but I think there’s a disease in not growing up.
The enormous sums of money to be made on superhero movies are drying up the streams of financing as well as the prospect for distribution of lower-budget non-action films.
They have been poison, this cultural genocide, because the audience is so overexposed to plot and explosions and shit that doesn’t mean nothing about the experience of being human."

The budget when they went into production was $95 million, and it cost around $135 million.

Shooting all natural light in the middle of winter, when you have about 4 hours - and trying to do elaborate tracking shots in the snow. When the warm weather rolled around and they lost the snow in Canada, they had to go find it in the southern hemisphere.

I tend to ignore everyone that uses these kind of buzzwords, if everyone did the same this would be a much better place. You're the same as people that ignore directors that are too 'pretentious', instead you ignore them because they're too 'IMDB'

A Scanner Darkly is the best sci-fi film of the last 10 years.

Based on this anthologic thread, everybody who ever made a film is LITERALLY a hack and all his films are shit and inauthentic garbage. Nice.

Contrary to the idea of being any of the boogeymen, the thing that /tv/ hates most is actually itself
>>
>>63454480
I'm gonna come off really pretentious but I think that you should see his work chronologically, starting with Rebels of the Neon God. As you may know all his movies have the same actor and watching him grow on film conveys the human condition aspects of Ming-Liang's work. It can be really interesting and imaginative at times
>>
>>63454669
>A Scanner Darkly is the best sci-fi film of the last 10 years.
It's not bad honestly, but I don't give Linklater too much credit since he was working with great source material. Upstream Color is better.

Me and Orson Welles, Bernie, Boyhood and Before Midnight on the otherhand are among the worst films of the decade. Also the IMDB sensibilities are a very real threat. If only they were just a buzzword.

The Before trilogy is the only decent thing he ever did
