From the man who brought us Dark City and The Crow.
This is a thread about people like Ridley Scott, George Lucas, even Steven Spielberg among others who just lost their magic.
Why can't old people direct /tv/? When do they lose that something special?

i liked it
I would think if anything, the old people should be better directors. My guess is that they see how much money flashy blockbusters are making and decide to use CGI as a main component in their storytelling and action.

Lucas never liked to direct and had to cuz his friends like Steven and Robert zemekis wouldn't do episode 1
Spielberg stopped being fun when the 2000s hit
Ridleys had a rough life having brother after brother die

It had one or two kinda interesting scenes but overall it was dull as fuck

Movies are art (money making art, but still art). It changes over the years. What people loved and liked a few decades ago can now be seen Ias silly or laughable sometimes. It's hard to adjust yourself to the current times as an auteur. If you do what you want/like/are good at, you will have a lot of people calling you out for playing it safe or being stuck in the past. If you try something new and it doesn't work, you're screwd and can have trouble working again. Doing something very formulaic (by Hollywood standards, not by the auteur's standards) means you will make some money, get new job offers, etc.
The Martian was pretty good. Ridley Scott has always been all over the place quality-wise
Spielberg's last was excellent
But George Miller released the best Mad Max yet last year and he's old as fuck.

Best? No. Most impressive? Hell yes!
It's not that good of a movie storywise, but the stunt work, direction, cinematography, etc. were top notch.

probably gonna get assraped for this, but both mad max 1 and 2 were far better than fury road. fury road was a good movie but nothing special. also i'm not white knighting women or anything, honestly, but that movie isn't even a mad max movie, they could have replaced his role with "nameless drifter" and nothing would have been lost. it should have been called Furiosa

maybe on a technical level, but god it was BORING.
