Thanks mate, I'll add it to my watchlist!
Possibly my favourite movie of all time. I remember back in the day linking up two video recorders and making my own trailers of it.
He's also a total fecking piece of shit as a person, too, though. A good friend of mine left the industry after working with Cameron. When I asked him why he would quit, after being in such a good position (in terms of prestige), he said something to the effect of "how he thinks he's allowed to treat people the way he does just doesn't sit right with me and shouldn't be allowed", but he was more eloquent.
Yeah seems like many of the "auteurs" are like this. Hitchcock, Kubrick, Nolan etc.
Wow, look at the big brain on weetee. I knew you were a keeper, even when everyone was writing you off in WW.
It's always Dirty Schwein, Dirty Schwein, Dirty Schwein with you! What about me, mofo, am I not allowed to watch this?!
Sounds like you could be describing a remake of Heavy (1995), which was a fecking pile of wank. Balding overweight nerd wants to go on dates with Liv Tyler, and it seems the whole time it's building up to be either a murder-suicide or a sex dungeon type of finish, only to deflate and disappear up its own ass. I really like the early days of Liv Tyler but this movie will test the patience of a saint.
That's a shame, because some of those biker gangs were war vets with PTSD who couldn't adjust to normal life, got into being on the road and fixing their bikes. It should have been a gimme, in terms of being an interesting story. Have to say the trailer looks awful. Austin Butler is no Marlon Brando, and I don't think it works doing a chaste remake of The Wild One (1953) in 2024, we want "blood, guts and pussy" (to quote the Dwarves).
That is impressive!
Nolan? His sets are famously laid back.
I've never heard anything bad about Nolan. I saw him walking down the street with one of his kids one day, and from that in-depth, totally man to man level, he seemed all right in the .03 seconds we spent together. Kubrick was just a spiky person, wasn't he? I knew he was difficult.
Ahh maybe he's alright but I've had two different friends work on post audio for two different films of his (Interstellar & Dunkirk) and both said his expectations were unrealistic due to his refusal to use ADR and he made them work like sweatshop workers to fix the issues.
aren‘t his film dialogues famous for being almost impossible to understand? Don‘t think Kubrick was a cnut? very eccentric though. Have friends who are closely related to the family and never heard about that being a thing (not that we‘d discuss much about Kubrick though
)Yeah because he refuses to replace the dialogue using ADR. Or so I've been told. Definitely adds up when you watch his later films.aren‘t his film dialogues famous for being almost impossible to understand? Don‘t think Kubrick was a cnut? very eccentric though.

Nah, I‘ll take your word for it. Such a nice family though. Guess he was pretty different with personal/family circles then.
Interesting was your friend working on a recent Cameron film ? I know with Aliens Cameron got into massive fights with the unionised English crew. The workers ended up winning which was nice.
Oh tbh I was just joking about it as a kink film.
I’ve heard a story about him trying to make Harvey Keitel do over 300 takes for Eyes Wide Shut. But Keitel quickly told him to feck off and left the set. In Doctor StrangeLove he tricked George C. Scott into giving a great comedic performance. The Shinning stuff which is overblown and at least from I’ve seen online. Shelley Duvall didn’t regret her time on the set and liked that Kubrick pushed her creatively.Don‘t think Kubrick was a cnut? very eccentric though.

Yeah, it's quite a double edged sword.
That ain’t no sword, buddy!
Yeah, good but terrible. I had the same with Black Swan, and am therefore now quite careful with Aronofsky. The Whale was good though. Pi is also interesting: it's his first feature film and clearly lower budget, but it uses a lot of the same visual tricks as Requiem without the all-consuming awfulness.
Haven‘t seen the latest of him but for me his movies are a bit like fast-food burgers when you‘re really starving. Really great in that moment but also not good enough to go back there later again. The Wrestler I think the only one I‘ve watched a second time. Bit exaggerated of course.
Never understood why one would want to be „officially“ recognized as a great ww player (which i‘m not), lots of downsides to that. So yea, keep that to yourself please.
I can see how it's all rather on the nose, and the ending is rather too sweet; but I enjoyed it.
Yeah you need a shower after watching that film.
I was just about to suggest this. Criminally underrated and probably my 2nd favourite Aronofsky flick after Requiem.
Yeah, the thrillers is more my thing I think from that time period. However, I will check Sundays and Cybèle out, as I haven't seen that one.
I was disappointed in that film cuz I was expecting so much more from that director. Malkovich is a fecking ham sandwich of an actor, just ridiculously up his own ass with every role, chewing the scenery, delivering lines in novel ways no human has ever done before. Eastwood was the strong silent type and was a badass back in his early films. Crotchety old man Eastwood peaked and burned out after Unforgiven, which was brilliant. His "the man with no name" persona, from the Sergio Leone movies, is cinema Mount Olympus. A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, Hang 'em High, Kelly's Heroes, The Beguiled, High Plains Drifter, Play Misty For Me, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Escape From Alcatraz, The Eiger Sanction, Pale Rider, Bird, White Hunter Black Heart, come on!!
Another one of your havering, lukewarm reviews. It's so hard to know if you like a film or not.
Calodo, no. How could you do this to us? They are going to count their receipts because of you and think we want more Glen Powell VFX movies. How. Could. You.
