2015 Directors roundtable: Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, Inarritu, Boyle, O Russel, Hooper discuss filmmaking and current cinema
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ7qKKQrSBY
Tarantino talks about his favorite Jackie Chan action scene, a couple of interesting Kubrick anecdotes from Scott and Boyle, Inarritu namedrops Tarkovsky
>>64524971
Why didn't they get anyone that's good with camera in there
Why does Uno Fartitno act like he's 14
>>64524971
At what time do they talk about Blade Runner 2?
will we ever get one as funny as this again?
>>64525587
when Ridley mentions sequels, QT says he was excited for prometheus, then I think O'RUssell jokes about Blade Runner 2 but Ridley doesn't say anything
>>64525661
The actors Franco/Eisenberg/Duvall will forever be the best
>>64524971
Ridley Scott
>all these big movies with "special effects and shit"
>prometheus, the martian
>>64525733
>The actors Franco/Eisenberg/Duvall will forever be the best
Anyone have the gif/webm?
Damn look at them 4 inch heels Ridley Scott's wearing.
>>64525880
>even the youtube thumbnail knows

>five minutes in
>Tarantino's glass is almost empty
>>64524971
someone needs to tell orussel to shut up or fuck off
seriously this guy loves to hear himself talk so much and he says he's humbled
>>64525796
I know,Did anyone else think Ridley Scott is a douche? He's like 'I did commercials, I already know everything' 'everything on the martian went perfectly, no problems whatsoever'. Nigga is insanely arrogant
>>64526333
Nigga is a veteran, he made his first long feature at 40, of course he saw everything
Anybody have a youtube link to the final action sequence from "Police Story 3: Super Cop"?
I probably rented it on VHS in the early 90's, but now I have to know what the fuck QT is on about.
>>64525661
i cant the full roundtable for that, just the 4min clip. grr
>>64526446
It's GOAT. Jackie Chan almost gets killed. In the bloopers he nearly falls off of the train and probably would have been caught under the wheels.
>>64526447
>>64525661
full haneke roundtable where he blows hollywood the fuck out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui2kFHP-bSc
>>64526611
oh thanks. i was looking for it as director's, why did thr put him in the writers one?
>>64524971
>2001 is about what? I don't know
lol Inarritu
>>64526759
Might just be an availability thing, since he needed the translator, he would have made the main roundtable akward so they put him at the kiddies table
I strongly suggest no one watches the roundtable with Amy Schumer and Dunham, It was an hour of circle jerking. But for women. So, I guess it was actually a circle fingering .
>>64526611
i'm glad he's talking shit about Downfall and Shindler's list
>>64526333
It's better than Inarritu and the rest being like "UGHH MY JOB IS SO DIFFICULT"
Do any of European or American directors really like/appreciate/ Tarkovsky? It seems like he pretty much has no visible legacy? I mean even Inarritu basically namedropped him like a pseudo-patrcian..
how big was he when he was alive?

say it isn't so
>>64526333
Would you rather he had lied and said "being a filmmaker is so hard! Making The Martian was a bitch! :'("?
>>64527461
>>64525498
Who? What?
>>64527372
It would be pretty stupid to still be excited for Prometheus though wouldn't it?
>>64528816
https://youtu.be/48a6ZS7jJQ0
You're in for a treat.
>>64529733
Oh man I really would but the first 30 seconds alone defeated me.
>>64525796
He's fucking retarded and hasn't made a good movie in fucking forever. His stuff still looks good and creates a certain atmosphere but that is it.
>>64526294
He's like that on his directors commentaries as well. Clearly really thinks he's a genius.
>>64530156
>hasn't made a good movie in fucking forever.
The Counselor is one of the very best films of the decade so far.
>>64526333
>no problems in the Martian
Except for the Martian
>>64530288
It really isn't although I'd say that it was better than the rest of the shit he directed in recent history.
>QT immediately sperging out about muh digital
I'm only 8 minutes in but Ridley Scott seems so surly and out of touch it's amazing. Dudeee
>>64525733
The one with Gosling was good
>>64530870
actually im retarded, it's the same one
>>64526611
Damn, him and tarantino would be interesting cause he said he doesn't like people making entertainment out of the holocaust
>>64530523
Its funny since Danny Boyle is in the same room and he was one of the guys who started the whole Digital film making thing with the success of 28 days later
>>64524971
Ridley Scott is /fa/ as fuck
>>64527137
Can you give a tl;dr, I don't want to watch it
>>64530751
His commentaries on his films are absolutely amazing. He talks slow and gravelly and it's comfy as fuck
>>64531004
This desu. Dude is nearly 80 and BTFO out of man children like Cuckiltino
>>64524971
>no Max Landis
>no Christopher Nolan
>no JJ Abrams
Pantheon of the Gods would have been complete
>>64531040
>Imagining Max Landis in a room with actual filmmakers who were directors at the time that his father killed several people
I'd pay the full price of an IMAX admission ticket just to see that in HD.
Iñarritu has the funniest fucking mexican accent ever, he sounds like that mexican guy from Tim and Eric Awesome Show.

>o russel rolling his eyes at superior directors
confirmed for faggot if that wasn't clear enough
>>64526113
>>64527137
Amy Schumer is actually fine in the writers one. I only know her from the memes but she's really humble and knows she doesn't deserve to be there and just lets the writers talk and tries to learn. It's Sorkin who is the most obnoxious cunt in history. The nigga acts exactly like the worst of his characters and smugly soapboxes about the internet and newspapers and the death of America and his show getting cancelled and those damn kids on his lawn etc. etc. I had literally had to skip ahead until he shut up at parts. The Brooklyn and Room writers are both fine and total vets and the Inside Out writer is is pretty awesome and exactly like the Pohler character.
>>64531336
Dude has clearly got short-man syndrome. Imagine knowing (although he's probably delusional) that your'e the weakest filmmaker at the table?
3 Kings was pretty good, he has literally never made anything good ever sine.
>>64529733
LOL....BASED TARANTINO
>>64524971
>no villenueve
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Also how the fuck does that Hooper faggot keep getting on this roundtable? Did he even make a movie this year?
See now, after this I love Blade Runner so much more.
>>64531460
Redmayne Transex film is made by him
>>64531384
>smugly soapboxes
He was asked a question about answered about his views
He's actually humble, there's a bit where he says he's not smart like his characters
>>64525443
its not a cameraman roundtable, dipshit
>>64531460
Does that guy make anything that isn't the most obvious pandering oscarbait?
All his movies sound like a parody of the kind of movie that would be nominated for oscars
>>64531715
They talk about why newsroom got cancelled for 5 fucking minutes anon. You can like Sorkin's work if you want but if you're not there just to see him talk there's no way he's not an obnoxious cunt in this discussion, he dominates every discussion and talks about his politics as much as he does writing.
>>64525443
Cinematographers is later this month
>boyle, o russel, hooper
Literally who?
Ridley was absolutely based.
>>64531850
>not knowing Danny Boyle
fucking pleb
the other 2 are shit tho
Quick poll right here:
How many bodies are buried in O'Russel's backward?
4? 5? More than 5?
>>64531024
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Basically they five their experiences. I think Dunham twice made me sick. She is sickening to watch. She talked about that they didn't replace David Letterman with someone diverse. She told a story how she eavesdropped on someone talking shit about her show, when the other yantas asked who she said she would mention after the show. Schumer talked about her standup. The black woman mentioned how she has a hard time finding work.
>>64531916
>Danny Boyle
>not pleb
lol
>>64531850
even if you dont like the movies you should know who they are
>>64531954
>not liking Trainspotting
fuck off
>>64531024
>His commentaries on his films are absolutely amazing. He talks slow and gravelly and it's comfy as fuck
I wish more were on jewtube but thanks for the heads up. Listening to him and Crowe doing the Gladiator commentary for now and it is quite good, and the Joaquin tidbits are hilarious.
>>64527239
For the wrong reasons though. Just like his movies. I really like them, but probably because for different reasons then Hanecke intended
>>64525498
Because you're projecting
>>64532077
I like it, but his films aren't exactly highbrow
>>64531850
>not knowing based Boyle
You best be kidding m8y
>>64524971
Why the fuck would they invite Quentin ?
>>64532218
They did back in 2012. David O Russel wanted to strangle Tarantula every time he spoke.
>>64524971
Why did they invite Tom Whopper? I never heard of him until now.
>>64532434
because he is an academy award winning director, with a new movie which will probably get multiple nominations at least? maybe you should watch more movies.
Name one good meme from their movies! I hate these hacks. Name one good meme NAME FUCKING ONE!
>>64531402
He's the best American director right now. Certainly better than all those other faggots at the table for this year's movies. Steve Jobs was an abysmal failure, transex oscar bait is just a seat warmer, Revenent is 3hrs of expository anguish, the Martian was literally reddit, H8 was a dull pastiche of other Tarantino flicks. Joy was the film of 2015. They could've kicked some of these has-beens for McKay and Coogler.
>>64531460
Hooper sucks and so does this panel. I'd have loved to have Coogler in the room with Tarantino to give him shit about the N-bombs, Miller in the room to give Inarittu a chuckle about his hardships making The Revenant.
>>64524971
>Directors arranged from left to right in order of quality
>>64532600
I did watch King's Speech and Les Mis, just didn't pay attention to the director's name.

I hope his translator didn't bother with all the retarded shit they said
>>64526113
Are you implying Sorkin is talented?
>>64532845
I know they're supposed to have released a movie in the year but fuck it:
>Denis Villeneuve
>PTA
>Ryan Coogler
>John Carpenter
>Michael Mann
>David Lynch
>>64530224
but his movies are mediocre at best
>>64532127
What wrong reasons? The guy is right on the money about director's responsibility.

>>64532853
You're a pleb if I've ever seen one.
David O Russell is the ultimate pleb filter, it's incredible how reliable he is at separating the men from the boipussies
>>64532248
Everybody wanted to kill him whenever he spoke. Even worthless hacks like Ben Affleck, Hooper and Ang Lee couldn't stand his autistic ways
>>64532845

Based Russell.
>>64533147
Affleck isn't a hack. His 3 films are all decent thrillers.
Hooper is bland but sounds sincere in the films he makes.
Lee is definitely not a hack. Not quite a great director, but firmly above the average.
>>64533215
Scorsese is such a pleasure to listen to when he's going on about films he loves. Some of the interviews he recorded for AFI are on youtube and his enthusiasm for stuff from The Archers is really contagious.
Things I got out of the interview
1. These questions are shit and they seem to be the same every year
2. Tarantinos passion is commendable. He's like a child at heart. Even though his movies are hit or miss I enjoy hearing his autistic ramblings about film
3. Ridley Scott is the most based person there. The Martian sucked but at least he knows what the business is all about.
4. David O'Russell looks just as bored to be there as we are of his Bradley Cooper and JLaw films
5. Danny Boyle didn't say much. Maybe that's because his movie just put him in debt
6. Hooper is a faggot. I'm glad when he started talking most of the time someone cut him off.
7. Innaritu strikes me as the same personality type as Tarantino. He loves films not really for what they mean but what they make him feel and what kind of stimulation they give him. He's like a little kid at the table. Slightly less autistic than Tarantula tho.
8. I really wish someone like Villenueve was there instead of Boyle or Hooper. Hell I would've preferred to see JJ Abrams in that room if only for his defense of big budget and sequel films killing the industry
>>64531738
>Enemy
>oscar pandering
>>64533895
He's talking about that Hooper guy
>makes the film about the stuttering king

Hilarious.
>>64533915
Yeah, noticed after I made the post
>>64533944
Has this laotian lad made anything worthwhile besides what I know about now, that is, Love Exposure? I didn't even watch it yet, btw, lel
O'Russell likes the theatrical cut ending of Blade Runner lel
that's why he's a hack, shit taste
>>64534039
And Ridley isn't because he took 6 cuts to shit out a meme flick?
>>64534086
can someone just point out when tarentino farts so i don't have to watch this whole thing for an hour
>>64534240
Every time he opens his mouth
>>64526998
more like you don't know what he's talking about
>>64534240
I'm framing this and putting it on my wall
>>64532845
I just want to see Fincher on a roundtable for once. It seems like he isn't one for interviews or panels
>>64534950
Because he's 100% a technician. If he's got a shit script his films are nice to look at, but absolute shit tier (Girl with a Dragon Tattoo).
>>64534031
His whole filmography is above standard.
>>64534950
Apparently hes interviewed on the new Hitchcock Truffaut docu
>>64535066
What is that disgusting spic doing there? Did he made a flick about building walls?
>>64535045
I don't see why that would be a reason not to have him on a roundtable. To hear him talk about and compare his process to others. what got him into making movies? why does he focus so much on the small details and why so many takes? is it autism? would he ever consider writing and if not why? i remember one interview where tarantino said fincher was one of the best directors working right now and one of the few where he is interested in what he will make next, yet he is at a different level because he is not a writer-director. it would be interesting to see a conversation between the two, especially with finchers use of digital
>>64535203
He's whiter than you, fuck off.
>>64535260
Build wall, spic.
>>64535203
He's more talented than anyone there except Boyle
>>64535315
He's a hack and you're a pleb
>>64532845

Super pleb, but i'd love to see how they'd interact
>>64535356
Welles would destroy everyone there. QT is a manchild, Kubrick was an antisocial hermit, Wes would blubber some hipster shit Ebro) every now and then to remind everyone of his existence, Scorsese would be under the table sucking Orson's feet.

Fucking love Danny Boyle. His films are a bit hit or miss but I always enjoy hearing him talk about his films and cinema. Plus he was spearheading digital with 28 Days Later... and even if the quality isn't THAT good these days the film is still great.
Shit, Danny Boyle has the best filmograpy there. Tarantino has some fucking embarrasing flicks, and Ridley Scott gave up after Blade Runner, Iñarritu made the same film three or four times before whoring himself to jews with Birdman. Other two are irrelevant.

Haven't seen Hateful 8 yet, but Django and Jackie Brown are the only two that don't really hold up. I still wouldn't call them "embarrassing" though.
>>64537082
You're an idiot. Jackie Brown is a literal 10. Everything else he's done has aged like shit.
>>64537111
>Jackie Brown is a literal 10
you're a funny guy, nothing he has is past a 7
>>64535889
Kubrick doesn't belong. The others would shit all over him and make him leave before the introduction.
Add Kurosawa and Bresson though.

They can argue about the mess that is the current Japanese social system and all point fingers at who is to blame.
Shit it would be fun.
>>64537215
It's one thing to call Kubrick overrated, but as soon as you start listing other director and saying they'd shit all over him it becomes clear you have no idea what you're talking about.
>>64535315
This has to be bait. Boyle is a hack.
>>64537306
Kubrick is only, ONLY (ONLY) regarded as good is because he is American.
He is literal dogshit when you compare him to the rest of the world and their greatest directors.
>>64537304
Fuck off, weeb.
>>64537363
Weird because all of those director regard Kubrick as a master filmmaker.
>>64537363
Hello reddit
>>64537396
I hope you're not implying Tarkovsky liked Kubrick.
>>64537363
Lot's of third world directors do seem to get a lot of recognition for just winging it.
>>64537396
Yeah, no. I never once heard Goddard mention Kubrick, or Bergman, or Ozu or Naruse.
He is simply an over glorified cameraman.
The modern contribution for American cinema has been very stale. What did Kubrick do but make nice sets? Not one of the stories he directed had anything to do with him but are simple bastardizations of others works.
He can't create a story worth a dam. He is no way near the top when it comes to directors. Like people imply he is.
>>64537366
>implying the japanese golden age of cinema isn't the greatest that ever was.

Yeah, no.

How dare you put him alongside the other three masters. And no Mizoguchi, Naruse or Kobayashi?
>>64537529
>simple bastardizations of others works
People who get mad that none of Kubrick's films are "faithful adaptations" are the lowest of the low.
>>64537583
Every single one of Kubricks works is an adaptation of another story.
Whereas true directors, such as Bergman and Naruse created not only original stories which they then put on film, they sometimes created whole genres and camera techniques, which are still being used today.

Actual great directors create their own stories. It's got nothing to do with adaptation quality.

Ridley Scott is talking from the perspective of a director. As a director, Scott really does seem to know everything he needs to know to turn out a good film.
His problem has always been one of story. Scott has always had problems knowing which screenplays are worth turning into films and which ones are worth avoiding. And when he gets a bad screenplay, he doesn't have the writers' chops to fix it up and make it good.
Team Scott up with an excellent screenwriter, good actors, and producers who don't get in the way and you'll get a doggone good film.
>>64537749
>Takeshi
Yikes. And no, your point was terrible. A better discussion would be with directors of the same period.
People in this thread sure are butt hurt that film is an American art form and the best directors of all time are all American.

You to, are missing the point.
You're also a proper fucking idiot. Why don't you just watch slide shows, of nice looking countries and vistas?
Movies are not a fucking visual medium, that's literal capeshit logic. It's a huge component yes, but like theater, like music, like any form of art, it's a story an artist is trying to tell.
All that ad hom without making any actual points backed up with reasoning.
And you called me a pleb, heh.
Are you really disregarding all the works of literally all the greatest directors of all time, simply because they are story focused?
Hitchcock? Felini? Goddard? Naruse?
You're a fucking pleb.
>>64537807
My point is it's not meant to be a discussion, it's meant to be a shit fling of who fucked over the Japanese.

Wow that means he's unique! No other director could make a good movie under all those conditions

>>64537983

>>64538002
Those don't count because they aren't good movies. I'd take The Counselor above all of them.
>>64538002
They don't count because they are reddit
>>64529733
This is the weirdest fucking thing
>>64537749
>the only actual great directors are also 100% original screenwriters
Kubrick elevated virtually everything he adapted into something completely his own, and everybody is aware that at a certain point he pretty much said "fuck you" to the original source material.
He consulted with Clarke on the screenplay for 2001, but at a certain point just cut him off, and the overturned car in The Shining was obviously him saying that this wasn't just King's book put on film.
>>64524971

Not sure if retarded or trolling.
Of course movies are a visual medium, and virtually all capeshit is either tedious or headache inducing to look at.

>>64538309
How can people miss the point this badly?
No where have I said Kubrick himself is a shit director.
I have said, which no one is yet to refute, he isn't a great director like everyone says, as he is a simple camera man.
Great directors infuse all techniques available to them to create something of their own. Again, it's got nothing to do with adaptation, his stories, his themes are not his own.
A great director like Ozu had a unique camera technique only used by Ozu, he created stories coupled with this technique and you can tell Ozu's style from a fucking mile away. Kubrick on the other hand, made simple schlock, which looked nice.

>saying stop is logically responding to points.
Okay then.
Here, (you).
>>64538008
You need look no further than Steven Spielberg, who's lost it in his old age.
For starters, "A.I.", the film that Kubrick might have worked on next after "Eyes Wide Shut" had he not died. Personally, I hated "A.I." and thought it was utter crap. I've never had those opinions of any of Kubrick's films.
Secondly, "Minority Report." Oh, boy! A film based off a story by Philip K. Dick! That's gotta be good! I loved "Blade Runner" and "Total Recall."
Nope. "Minority Report" wasn't terrible but I was tremendously disappointed. Quite honestly, I think Ridley Scott would have done a better job.
>>64538449
Ozu movies are boring as fuck. I guess its okay because they were all original.
>>64538449
Don't worry anon, people dont like the truth so thats why you are getting shit for speakin it here.

A director is not a writer. Yes, he will have some control over the actors but Scott has done a good job of that over his career. I've never had a complaint about the actors Scott uses.
But, as I said, my problem with Scott is that, for whatever reason, some of the stories he picks to base movies on just aren't very good. They're either uninteresting or they have really bad plot holes. *cough*Prometheus*cough*
But Scott is capable of turning out a good movie and I usually seriously considering any film he directs.
Contrast this with someone like Michael Bay.
>>64538553
Joy was fucking terrible, just like every other O Russel movie.

Holy cow.
Kubrick is the fuckin' master of film directing. Among American directors, I can think of few that have had a greater impact on film.
Many of the visual effects in his films were designed by him. The camera angles, the lighting, and the endless takes to get the appropriate reaction from the actors are the mark of a great director.
Consider George C. Scott's performance in Dr. Strangelove. It was Kubrick who tricked Scott into kind of overacting the part. Scott was initially quite upset with the takes that Kubrick ended up using in the film, thinking that Kubrick was asking for those goofy takes to warm Scott up.
>>64538449
Problem is Kubrick adapted molded the stories as his own and as vessels for is expression, that's arguably as genuine as creating his own.
>>64538449
It sounds like you need to learn how to formulate whatever point you're trying to make before posting it, because you're not being as clear as you think you are.

That's really the only thing you've consistently been saying.

Funny, because one of the reasons 2001 was done in Britain was to escape the US patents on effects, including the slitscan technique.
And tricking actors into giving you material is LITERALLY a director's job. Coppola tricked a guy into getting in bed with a fucking horse head.
>>64538730
That's literally my point, see >>64537363
>The camera angles
Kek.
>and the endless takes to get the appropriate reaction from the actors are the mark of a great director.
Holy cow, if a director is not able to get the performane he wants form his actors, he is a shit director. Someone who is able to get a desired performance isn't somehow a great director, he is simply competent.
>the lighting
This is the one of the only things which he did well, and even then it was not original as you imply it was.
>>64538733
>that's arguably as genuine as creating his own.
Not even in the slightest.
>>64538759

Because that's literally my point. Well the other point. Sounds like I am being pretty clear.

Tarantino's downgrading himself, the stupid fuck. H8 is pretty much everything his critics have been warning about.
2001 was only worthwhile Kubrick film.
EWS, his late career turd, is a fucking Lifetime movie for Christ sake
Damn, it's stupid to expect good things in this place, but when this thread went south it went SOUTH

EWS is in fact his best film
>>64537922
Movies are a visual medium, this is by no means 'capeshit logic'. You have MOTION PICTURE.
Story, narrative, character are all tier below in importance for movie. The most important part by far is the directing.
>>64538730
>Greater impact on film.
and that's why Kubrick annoys me. Generations of DOPs and directors who think plastering movie with pretty pictures full of hack symbolism means good directing and worthwhile cinematography.
Take any Nolan or Villeneuve garbage bin movie, it's just pretty photography even when you are dealing with fucking bodies of drug war.
No sense.

2001, his middle career turd, is a fucking Star Wars movie for Christ sake

Regardless of the film, I always enjoy hearing Tarantino speak. Subdued Quintin is quite pleasant. It makes me want to enjoy his movies more.

An actual truly great director.

I agree, he's got enormous amount of film knowledge. It's what he does with it that's the problem.

Is this why Days always had a distinct feel to it?
Like I always saw it different from movies from that time.
Too little running time, bad interviewers and a not diverse- in personality- enough table

Unlike Stanley "Pleb bait" Kubrick.

I love Bergman. I don't really see your point though.
>>64539622
The movie gets its main narrative point across in just about 8-12 minutes from what I recall. On top of that it has some dumb and rushed point about failures in the space program which happens early in the movie too. And it has nothjing else to tell.
So why is the movie so fucking long? It could be at least 2 hours shorter movie for fuck sake.
It's pretty bad dude.
