Max Landis is a fraud. He constantly bitches about the lack of originality when his movies are just copies or mash ups of other movies.

Chronicle is Akira
American Ultra is stoner Jason Bourne, Long Kiss Goodnight and Chuck
Mr. Right is a Tarantino/Shane Black disaster

his idea of making an original movie is "x meets x", he had a site that was a list of all the scripts he's written and they were literally all like that
>>
>>70315359
Don't be ridiculous. But that logic, RLM is also a fraud and know nothing of storytelling and filmmaking and comedy because of Spacecop.
>>
Chronicle is very bad. That is all
>>
Chronicle was entertaining for the directing and effects, otherwise the story was straight up basic.
>>
His movies are terrible but I support him because he's a true 4channarian.

isn't he someone's son? did people even imply he was talented?

>constantly bitches about the lack of originality

Constantly how? He went on that one rant and it was about IPs vs non-IPs.
>>
He's not talking about unoriginality, he's talking about franchises and intellectual property. You fucking idiot. You stupid fucking moron.

Guys, I'm worried about Max. Because of his bipolar disorder, he's prone to bouts of strange obsessions. Lately it's been paranoid delusions about "Big Pharma" poisoning us all, thus he's stopped taking his anti-retroviral medication and I'm worried that his HIV has progressed into full-blown AIDS.

That massive weight loss.

Those sunken eyes and cheeks.

Shaving his head because his hair was falling out in clumps.

He... He's going to be okay, right?

from all the interviews I've seen with him, he honestly seems like a pretty cool guy.

plus with him being so outspoken on Twitter he seems to have a pretty thick skin and can take criticism well.

Maybe he should write a thriller.

I liked the first two-thirds of Victor Frankenstein. Radcliffe and McAvoy had surprisingly good chemistry, and really the movie is all about their friendship. You don't know if Frankenstein actually likes Igor or was just using\abusing him, and it lent that first half a complexity the movie loses as it enters the third act. I liked the focus on the two scientists making the weird, disgusting rotting chimera prototype of the monster; the sequence where they show off Victor's tech at the college by bringing it to life and it gets away was gross and wicked. The good part of the movie culminates in Igor and Frankenstein getting hammered and then designing the actual Frankenstein Monster in a bender. After that, it devolves into Hollywood schlock hardcore, and it's disappointing no matter how cool the staging of the birth of the Monster at the end was.
>>
>American Ultra is stoner Jason Bourne, Long Kiss Goodnight and Chuck

Isn't that pretty much writing though? Mixing ideas and trying to find what works?
>>
>>70315589
Except RLM don't really give a shit. All of their movies are intentionally schlock. Max tries to write good movies but all of them are total shit except for Chronicle.

I like Max Landis. There, I said it... I mean wrote it. And like is a strong word. Perhaps more of a vague recognition that he has some potential.
>>
>>70315359
he doesn't even do anything

pretends to write a script that is 100% edited and changed, yet they still have to give him cast credit.

he's a fucking loser jew with a murdering father.
>>
>>70317560
Whatever, they seem to be a bunch of bros that enjoy making shit. They've never unironically defended their movies. Max tries to make good movies but they end up being shit and when people mock them he gets extremely defensive.

Incredibly basic. I guess it seems good as it was released along side the shit show that was "I Am Number Four"

how is that ''up his own ass''? I can think of a bunch comedians who have made that same routine about the wifebeater, I've never seen him claim that that's why we're living in a classist patriarchy.

Well that's not what you set out to do as a writer, it's something you realize you've been doing all this time like halfway through the script, despair about then rewrite so people don't find it obvious.

Fuck that yank cunt, he;s going to ruin a staple of British comedy. There is NO WAY that he could possibly make it in the spirit of the original.

John Landis seems like a nice man on the surface but even Spielberg the king jew cut off all ties with him after the Twilight Zone accident. He might be a monster

yeah, he's making it better since bri'ish comedy sucks.

From what I read, he actually cut off ties with Landis because the latter held a celebration after he got off free.

Also it was for a story in the twilight zone movie where a racist white guy has to walk in the shoes of shitskins and learn his lesson not to be racist.

I feel like god even thought landis was being too much of a kike

How the fuck does that make him a hypocrite? He never said that that movies based on IPs should be banned or something.

I've never payed attention to anything Max Landis-related, don't really care about the guy or his work, but I cringe every time I see that haircut.

So, Mr. Landis, if you're reading this, don't dismiss your hair critics as "haters," we're genuinely trying to help you.

There is no such thing as originality, star wars is just a rip off of flash Gordon and samurai films.
Indiana jones is based off of old serials from the 40's.
Stanley kubricks most famous films are adapted from books.

At least Jay is able to admit he doesn't like his movies, Mike should be more honest but doesn't want to hurt Max's feelings. It's painfully obvious whenever they talk about him.
>>
>>70322204
There's a difference between creative inspiration and mashing a bunch of gimmicks together.
>>
>>70322185
Yeah, there isn't. He never said there shouldn't be pre-existing IPs, just that original IPs aren't get as much attention/being greenlit right now as they should.

Three of his four screenplays that have been made into movies were original IPs, and Me, Him and Her was an original IP. The recent script which he sold for like 3 million dollars or whatever was an original IP I believe.

But yeah, he wrote a Superman comic book, therefore he is a hypocrite.
