You know...I used to detest and loathe the guy.

But lately, I ve been looking at all the M Night Shyamalans, Amy Winehouses, Uli Lommels, Britney Spears-es, Paris Hiltons, Tom Cruises etc. etc....and wondering why hate should be limited to one person only.

Sure he makes shitty movies, but then so do half of the other producers in Hollywood in the name of taste and elegance and style and whatnots.

Also, Postal doesn't look as half-bad as people think. I think its worth a peek. The least it could be is better than The Village. (but of course)

At least he didnt butt-fuck the Alien franchise like Paul W Anderson and Fox studios.

Amen. Boll still sucks, and i hate what he has done to franchises that could have made great movies, but lets face it, practically EVERYONE who has tackled video games for movies has produced shit, just not as spectacularly bad as Boll. I liked Doom when i first saw it, at least as an action movie, but i get more and more pissed every time i watch it, because sticking to the story of Doom 3 would have produced a vastly superior movie.

Lets not forget Michael Bay. Even Steven Speilberg has lost whatever magic made him great. I am no fan of indy films for the sake of being indy; i hate that, but then again i also hate much of the big budget shit out there, because it is just shit (Transformers? dear god...)

we need to keep the good ones happy and working. John Favreau should continue to make super hero movies. Keep Ridley Scott and David FIncher busy. Get Jim Cameron back behind the camera.

Kick George lucas in the nuts, and then again for the horror that is Jar-Jar Binks.

I'm nor sure Jim Cameron should get behind the camera after True Lies or Titanic.
The first Terminator ruled and Aliens was dope but his flicks got real hollow after that and lacked heart.

I disagree. True lies was exactly what it set out to be, a not so smart action movie. Titanic, well, he said it himself. it was a 100 million dollar chick flick. i think the final box office numbers on that justify it, plus i enjoyed just fine.


If he ever finishes Avatar, i will be first in line to see it.

Plus he has a kickass script all ready and smoking for Alien 5, if that ever sees the light of production. (as things stand right now)

Stupid studio mofos. :mad:

high five, titanic is a good movie.

oh shit - i hated titanic so much.

i think he did a lucas on that one and completely forgot to develop interesting 3 dimentional characters and concentrated on the technical aspects of the film instead.


top heavy and hamfisted.


but what do i know or matter ... millions of people loved it.
