I stopped giving Spielberg the time of day when he became an institution instead of a filmmaker. At least he’s backing up his product, rips apart whatever artistic integrety he had left though, sadly. It’s moments like this when I wish so much discussion was going into a movie worth discussing.
Even if Tetro wasn’t The Conversation quality-wise at least it comes from a personal place worth talking about, even more sadly I doubt this would happen.

That last part is too true. Even if Coppola is a fallen star, at least he’s stuck to principle and to the only that matters: self truth.

I say choose quality.
I meant more in the sense that Michael Bay’s films are autistic, epileptic and over the top and lacking emotion while Cassavetes has 20 minute scenes that take place between two people in one room having an arguement. That’s the roots of the joke, get it? SEE?
Hank and Charlie we’re very different, for example.
HONEST, I SWEAR, PLEASE DON’T KILL ME, CRAZY KENNETH! I HAVE A FAAAAAAAMILY!

Finally, some appreciation.
you deserve it.
i really have to get Cassavetes’ A Woman Under the Influence on DVD soon, that movie was GREAT. not quite as great as transformers 2, though.

That 80 year old who runs marathons has a steady diet of steak and eggs.
that might be, but I also heard of this one guy who drank a glas of his own urin every day and lived to be over 100 years old.
To each his own.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to write a lenghty review of “Smokey and the Bandit”.

Hardy fuckin’ har ;D
I’m not kidding.
Expect to be blown away.
You’ll see it.
You guys pay too much attention to names. I just look for a good story, plain and simple. If it’s good - it’s good. No matter who the person behind it is. And no, I’m not saying Transformers 2 was good - I never even saw it. I personally find the following actresses incredibly savvy on choosing great screenplays to act in: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Barbara Stanwyck, Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, and whole bunch of others. Some classic stars may be dead, but their films live on forever. tear drop here
Great writer/directors and actors. That’s what film is all about.

Then turn to books. The power of motion pictures comes from the combination of visuals and audio to create all kinds of emotions. Can’t do that shit with books. A good story is nothing cinematic, it’s just a good story.
