Negatively criticizing Schindler's List takes balls, plus he has a point.
>>63511552
>Look, CanalPlus is the company that, with me, owns Escape From New York. They came to me and said, "Luc Besson ripped you off on Lockout." Or Lockdown, whatever the hell that was. And they sent me the movie, and yes, he did. It’s the same story. (Laughs) I mean, you can’t do that, can you? You have to change a couple things. He’s after the president’s daughter? Come on. So I took him to French court. [CanalPlus] wanted to also go after the video game Metal Gear Solid, which is kind of a rip-off of Escape From New York, too, but I told them not to do that. I know the director of those games, and he’s a nice guy, or at least he’s nice to me.
> I haven’t gone in a long time [to a Masters of Horror dinner]. I went to the first few and it was a lot of fun. [..] Then, it sort of became something else. I think the night that got me— David Cronenberg showed up. And he’s an old friend of mine. And unfortunately, he takes himself so seriously these days…He’s an artist now. And literally, he was holding court in the middle of the room, so I came over to talk to him. And he didn’t look at me. And I thought, this is enough of this, forget it, goodbye. And I walked out, I thought, I don’t need this anymore. And you know, fine, Eli Roth with his Hollywood hair … Darren Aronofsky, secretly I think hates horror films… Let the geniuses go. Let them go— let them be geniuses. I’ll stay home.

Haneke did it better.
>THR:There was a very good German film, Downfall, about the last days of Hitler, and it was an extraordinary human portrait. The danger is whitewashing what he's done.
>Michael Haneke: I have to say that I argued with Downfall writer-producer Bernd Eichinger about the film. I found it both repulsive and dumb. When you're dealing with a figure of such a deep historical context, what are you doing with him? You're creating melodrama. You're trying to move your spectators, but what emotions are you calling on? Your responsibility entails enabling your audience to remain independent and free of manipulation. The question is, how seriously do I take my viewer and to what extent do I provide him with the opportunity of creating his own opinion? Am I trying to force my opinion on the spectator?
>THR: Would you make a film about Hitler?
>Haneke: No. It's impossible for me, turning this into entertainment. That's why I have problems with Steven Spielberg's film about the concentration camps [Schindler's List]. The mere idea of trying to create suspense out of the question of whether the showerhead gas is going to come is unspeakable. For me, the only film about the Holocaust that is responsible is Alain Resnais' Night and Fog. Resnais asks the spectator: What do you think about this? What does this mean to you?
>>63511676
>Jean-Luc Godard, I respect him a lot for how he sees things and approaches filmmaking... Some of the things in his films are admirable, however I cannot consider him a complete filmmaker. What he does isn't cinema. He uses cinema. It's like Ingmar Bergman, who uses cinema to create literature. Godard uses cinema to paint with music. (…) He is the filmmaker I feel the closest to today. Godard's work intersects with mine. We share a common trait. Everything we do relies on inherently cinematic writing. We only express ourselves through images and sounds.

>“Fellini, Kurosawa, and Bunuel move in the same field as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.”
>“For me he’s just a hoax. It’s empty. It’s not interesting. It’s dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of — is all the critics’ darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it’s a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that movie’s got is absolutely unbelievable.”
>“I’ve never gotten anything out of his movies. They have felt constructed, faux intellectual, and completely dead. Cinematographically uninteresting and infinitely boring. Godard is a fucking bore. He’s made his films for the critics. One of the movies, Masculin, Féminin, was shot here in Sweden. It was mind-numbingly boring.”
>The brutality and low acting skills are unfortunate, but as a vision of the future and the relation between man and his destiny, the film is pushing the frontier of cinema as an art.

escape from L.A. is one of the most laughable pieces of shit ever made. Not dumb on purpose. Not bad on purpose, just really lame. He's gone the way of De Palma, Coppola, and Lucas. He just seems bitter to be at a party with people who still are respected in their careers.
>>63512100
In one of the games Snake disables an A.I. by removing "memory blocks" while the A.I. Slowly looses it's speech at the end of the game.
I don't think he needs to be exactly sued for it, but it's just pathetic and lame to literally FINISH one of your stories with a scene that was copy pasted from something else. I don't know why people ride his dick so hard.
>>63512141
I don't know what you're saying. By Carpinter's standards of suing Luc Besson, Kojima should be sued 10 times over. I'm not sure if they should really be sued, but it's still really lame. Not to mention, patents need to exist so that people can't just take ownership of pieces of art for no reason
>>63512255
This one is not so much a film-maker talking about another film-maker but one of my favourite director anecdotes nonetheless.
>“Tarkovsky was sitting in the corner of the screening room watching the film with me, but he got up as soon as the film was over and looked at me with a shy smile. I said to him, “It’s very good. It’s a frightening movie.” He seemed embarrassed but smiled happily.
Then the two of us went to a film union restaurant and toasted with vodka. Tarkovsky, who does not usually drink, got completely drunk and cut off the speakers at the restaurant, then began singing the theme of Seven Samurai at the top of his voice. I joined in, eager to keep up.
At that moment, I was very happy to be on Earth.”

>that is less than one tenth of his filmography
It's more like 1/5
>>63512147
Herzog is the true nature of man
>>63512375
Tarkovsky's admired what Eisenstein did for cinema in those early years, but he greatly disliked his methods and execution and far surpassed it because it was ultimately limiting.
>>63512324
Bergman actually had credential to blather about whatever he wanted regarding cinema, unlike you videogame crossposter.
>>63512398
I'm saying his message of "WOW LOOK AT ALL THESE PRETENTIOUS ACTORS, NOT LIKE ME!" is pretty deflated when you look at how shitty his career was before he pulled the plug.
Honestly, hearing you Red Letter Media type faggots over praise every 80's genre film is incredibly annoying. You're in the same league as fucking "90's kids." Pretty pathetic to see people base their entire opinions on film on what they enjoyed as kids.
Carpenter is fine at all, but he's nothing too special
Lets post directors saying nice things about each other
>Charles Thomas Samuels: That reminds me of Godard. He makes bad films, but he defends them so interestingly.
>Robert Bresson: His films are interesting. He upsets the official cinema, which cares only for profits. He taught films how to use disorder.
>>Samuels: Don't you think his purpose is more important than the individual results - which aren't very good?
>Bresson: When he uses professional actors, I don't like his films, but when he doesn't, he makes the best that can be seen.

>Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (David Lynch, 1992)
>I don’t own a television, which is why I couldn’t share Serge Daney’s passion for TV series. And I took a long time to appreciate Lynch. In fact, I didn’t really start until Blue Velvet (1986). With Isabella Rossellini’s apartment, Lynch succeeded in creating the creepiest set in the history of cinema. And Twin Peaks, the Film is the craziest film in the history of cinema. I have no idea what happened, I have no idea what I saw, all I know is that I left the theater floating six feet above the ground. Only the first part of Lost Highway (1996) is as great. After which you get the idea, and by the last section I was one step ahead of the film, although it remained a powerful experience right up to the end.

Deconstructing Harry (Woody Allen, 1997)
>Wild Man Blues (1997) by Barbara Kopple helped me to overcome my problem with him, and to like him as a person. In Wild Man Blues, you really see that he’s completely honest, sincere and very open, like a 12-year old. He’s not always as ambitious as he could be, and he’s better on dishonesty than he is with feelings of warmth. But Deconstructing Harry is a breath of fresh air, a politically incorrect American film at long last. Whereas the last one was incredibly bad. He’s a good guy, and he’s definitely an auteur. Which is not to say that every film is an artistic success.
Face/Off (John Woo, 1997)
>I loathe it. But I thought A Better Tomorrow (1986) was awful, too. It’s stupid, shoddy and unpleasant. I saw Broken Arrow (1996) and didn’t think it was so bad, but that was just a studio film, where he was fulfilling the terms of his contract. But I find Face/Off disgusting, physically revolting, and pornographic.

Funny Games (Michael Haneke, 1997)
>What a disgrace, just a complete piece of shit! I liked his first film, The Seventh Continent (1989), very much, and then each one after that I liked less and less. This one is vile, not in the same way as John Woo, but those two really deserve each other – they should get married. And I never want to meet their children! It’s worse than Kubrick with A Clockwork Orange (1971), a film that I hate just as much, not for cinematic reasons but for moral ones. I remember when it came out, Jacques Demy was so shocked that it made him cry. Kubrick is a machine, a mutant, a Martian. He has no human feeling whatsoever. But it’s great when the machine films other machines, as in 2001 (1968).

>Let them go— let them be geniuses. I’ll stay home.
Alien Resurrection (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1997)
>I didn’t expect it as I was walking into the theater, but I was enraptured throughout the whole thing. Sigourney Weaver is wonderful, and what she does here really places her in the great tradition of expressionist cinema. It’s a purely plastic film, with a story that’s both minimal and incomprehensible. Nevertheless, it managed to scare the entire audience, while it also had some very moving moments. Basically, you’re given a single situation at the beginning, and the film consists of as many plastic and emotional variations of that situation as possible. It’s never stupid, it’s inventive, honest and frank. I have a feeling that the credit should go to Sigourney Weaver as much as it should to Jeunet.
>>63512602
I like his thoughts on Showgirls too.
>I’ve seen it twice and I like it a lot, but I prefer Showgirls (1995), one of the great American films of the last few years. It’s Verhoeven’s best American film and his most personal. In Starship Troopers, he uses various effects to help everything go down smoothly, but he’s totally exposed in Showgirls. It’s the American film that’s closest to his Dutch work. It has great sincerity, and the script is very honest, guileless. It’s so obvious that it was written by Verhoeven himself rather than Mr. Eszterhas, who is nothing. And that actress is amazing! Like every Verhoeven film, it’s very unpleasant: it’s about surviving in a world populated by assholes, and that’s his philosophy. Of all the recent American films that were set in Las Vegas, Showgirls was the only one that was real – take my word for it.I who have never set foot in the place!

He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor."
>"In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.

We agreed from my very first post mayne, wtf? Yeas, it's 3edgy5u shit, overly long, pretentious and sometimes annoying.
But it's not nearly as bad as Barry Lyndon and 2001.
he talks about how Bergman is known for being a ladies man, and that Bergman once said that "it's hard to become old and still be as horny as you were in your youth". So from this Trier draws the conclusion (speculates) about how this must have meant that on the island of Fårö, at the center of Swedens cultural life and power, there sat an old man jerking off as a crazy person. And then he interrupts himself and says "and I really want you to leave this in", then he continues: And he probably had to wait several days in order for him to produce any sperm worthy of the name in order to ejaculate. And then he ends with the words: But that's probably not something that one should mention in a program about Bergman. That's basically it, apart from some small digressions here and there, For example he also says that he bought the exact same viewfinder as Bergman used, although he can't figure out what he used it for (he's obviously not a fan of viewfinders). And that little figurine on the Bergman-book is there to remind him of Bergman and his "cock", and here is where he starts to talk about what I wrote in the beginning. In the beginning he also questions whether Bergman was such a great imagemaker as many people claim he was. Instead, for him, Bergmans films stand out not because of the images themselves but because of "the feeling in the film, the atmosphere, the characters, the dialogue, and the style". I think that's all.

>>63512695
the role of violence in visual media should be seriously examined, the problem is we're used to hearing ebert (who gave perfect ratings to tarantino's offensive last two films before he died) style bullshit about it and react against that
also, anyone that really disliked vampires or escape from la should not feel compelled to pretend they really loved any of carpenter's earlier films (which is fine) just because they're classics, his style evolves up to ghosts of mars and production values vary but his sensibility is exactly the same
these kind of threads/discussions are always fun to read because people invariably take offense more easily at criticism of their favorite auteurs than favorite films, plus VG gets mentioned and we all get to revisit that insipid herzog quote about jlg

"Sofia Coppola likes any guy who has what she wants. If she wants to be a photographer she'll fuck a photographer. If she wants to be a filmmaker, she'll fuck a filmmaker. She's a wop parasite just like her fat, pig father was."
"[on Spike Jonze] He's the biggest fraud out there. If you bring him to a party he's the least interesting person at the party, he's the person who doesn't know anything. He's the person who doesn't say anything funny, interesting, intelligent. He's a piece of shit kike."
"Wes Anderson stole my font for credits, and I will never forgive him for that."
-Vincent Gallo on various filmmakers
I'm paraphrasing a little here because I don't remember the exact quotation, but Bergman, who used to admire Tarkovsky, at one point said about Offret that 'Tarkovsky was noe trying too hard to be Tarkovsky'
>>63518710
Anyone have the video where Gallo clearly mumbles "faggot" to spike jonze after presenting an award or something?

Boll is actually a pretty cool guy. He used to shit on German television whenever he could. The majority of the things he said were true.
Also, I remember this one time, Boll told some guy on the phone that he gets it and realizes, that he is shit at directing but he just loves it too much and can't stop making movies.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here.

>When a mini-dwarf rich kid from Nashville like Harmony Korine flies first class and moves to New York City’s Soho in his ‘plush safe’ apartment, running around town quoting Godard with lines like, "Fuck the bourgeois", it’s insincere, it’s calculated, it’s unoriginal, and it’s the worst thing in the world, ‘trendy’. He already knows that he and his boring girlfriend Connecticut Chloe Sevigny are going to be on the cover of ‘The Face’. He knows he’ll get his run at The Angelica and be hip in Japan. But no one will ever make an important film because they saw ‘Gummo’ or ‘Donkey Boy’.
Vincent Gallo on Korine. Then he made Korine's then gf (Sevigny) suck his cock on camera

Happy Together (Wong Kar-wai, 1997)
>I like it very much. But I still think that the great Asian directors are Japanese, despite the critical inflation of Asia in general and of Chinese directors in particular. I think they’re able and clever, maybe a little too able and a little too clever. For example, Hou Hsiao-hsien really irritates me, even though I liked the first two of his films that appeared in Paris. I find his work completely manufactured and sort of disagreeable, but very politically correct. The last one [Goodbye South, Goodbye, 1996] is so systematic that it somehow becomes interesting again but even so, I think it’s kind of a trick. Hou Hsiao-hsien and James Cameron, same problem. Whereas with Wong Kar-wai, I’ve had my ups and downs, but I found Happy Together incredibly touching. In that film, he’s a great director, and he’s taking risks. Chungking Express (1994) was his biggest success, but that was a film made on a break during shooting [of Ashes of Time, 1994], and pretty minor. But it’s always like that. Take Jane Campion: The Piano (1993) is the least of her four films, whereas The Portrait of a Lady (1996) is magnificent, and everybody spat on it. Same with Kitano: Fireworks (1997) is the least good of the three of his films to get a French release. But those are the rules of the game. After all, Renoir had his biggest success with Grand Illusion (1937).

Godard is a hack, and I'm glad actual auteurs like Werner Herzog can see through it rather than dicksucking him like the redditors/imdb cunts do.
>>63522217
Herzog himself is a redditor. Godard is a contrarian, like armond white, and he pisses plebs off, so that means he belongs here.

Most adorable interview ever.
Godard on Kubrick (FMJ)
>There it is! This is the slow motion we find in Peckinpah, if you will... It addresses the crowd of spectators only by exploiting something that it lacks. It seems like what Welles talked about: a gimmick, a trick, a gadget. Something that's now usual in all these American directors, even in Kubrick, who disappoints me because he has more talent than them. And this is just Peckinpah, if you will... with the exploitation of Vietnam. To his film I wouldn't go because I wouldn't see the Vietnamese, or God knows in which form. They were there. You just needed to go there... He doesn't see them. Something's missing. Kubrick's film misses what America also missed. They keep showing... In war films about Germany, there's not one big Hollywood actor that hasn't, sooner or later, played a German general. Here no one has played a [Vietnamese] general, cause they didn't know how to do it. That's their shame. To cover up this shame with a slow motion, whatever talent one has, it doesn't work...

Home from the Hill (Vincente Minnelli, 1959)
>I’m going to make more enemies…actually the same enemies, since the people who like Minnelli usually like Mankiewicz, too. Minnelli is regarded as a great director thanks to the slackening of the “politique des auteurs.” For François, Jean-Luc and me, the politique consisted of saying that there were only a few filmmakers who merited consideration as auteurs, in the same sense as Balzac or Molière. One play by Molière might be less good than another, but it is vital and exciting in relation to the entire oeuvre. This is true of Renoir, Hitchcock, Lang, Ford, Dreyer, Mizoguchi, Sirk, Ozu… But it’s not true of all filmmakers. Is it true of Minnelli, Walsh or Cukor? I don’t think so. They shot the scripts that the studio assigned them to, with varying levels of interest. Now, in the case of Preminger, where the direction is everything, the politique works. As for Walsh, whenever he was intensely interested in the story or the actors, he became an auteur – and in many other cases, he didn’t. In Minnelli’s case, he was meticulous with the sets, the spaces, the light…but how much did he work with the actors? I loved Some Came Running (1958) when it came out, just like everybody else, but when I saw it again ten years ago I was taken aback: three great actors and they’re working in a void, with no one watching them or listening to them from behind the camera.
>Whereas with Sirk, everything is always filmed. No matter what the script, he’s always a real director. In Written On the Wind (1956), there’s that famous Universal staircase, and it’s a real character, just like the one in Secret Défense. I chose the house where we filmed because of the staircase. I think that’s where all dramatic loose ends come together, and also where they must resolve themselves.

>>63513822
the dramatisation is implied, not sincerity. It doesn't claim to be a documentary, only that it is based on a true story. Both you and Haneke need to grow some fucking thick skin and understand that human suffering is a spectacle, and there is nothing wrong with film exploring that. Schindlers list was tasteful enough.

Hitchcock was a dirty little whore
Hitchcock avoided meeting his greatest fan Steven Spielberg. According to actor Bruce Dern’s autobiography, he attempted to convince Hitch: "I said, 'You're his idol. He just [wants] to sit at your feet for five minutes and chat with you'," but Hitchcock refused. "He said, 'Isn't that the boy who made the fish movie?... I could never sit down and talk to him... because I look at him and feel like such a whore.'" Pressing him further Dern asked, “'Why do you feel Spielberg makes you a whore?' Hitch said, 'Because I'm the voice of the Jaws ride [at the Universal Studios theme park]. They paid me $1 million dollars. And I took it and I did it. I'm such a whore. I can't sit down and talk to the boy who did the fish movie... I couldn't even touch his hand."

The Batman comics at the time were more influenced by Year One, and fighting off the influence of the the television era. It was nothing like the comics. Burton has an interview in a documentary about the Death of Superman movie, and he just kinda flanders around the topic of comics, where most people thought him right for the jobEven Kevin Smithbecause of Batman and how "he is such an outsider. He's like superman in that regard".

>>63511745
This one of the most idiotic things I have ever read. You can find no better example of the brain rot that critical theory and Continental philosophy create than this ridiculous argument. Downfall is one the most historically accurate and truthful depictions of Hitler ever presented and Haneke the hack is trying to use some shitty Bretchian argument against it. Just watch the White Ribbon to see what fool he is. That entire film can torpedo by one simple question. Also it laughable that Haneke is wagging his finger at others for forcing their opinions on the spectators given how didactic his films are.

no surprise about Cronenberg, he has always seemed like a pretentious asshole. Luc Besson has always been known for ripping others, though he has made some entertaining films.
