Jessie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Objectively, no he Stallone isn't. A film being entertaining =/= A well made film that took talent, skill, and dedication to make. I can be entertained by I, Frankenstein, that in no way makes I, Frankenstein good.Films are built for Entertainment, who's to say a boring skillfully made film is better than a thoroughly entertaining movie?

luna Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Richard Donner (born April 24, 1930) is an American film director, comic book writer and film producer. After directing the horror film The Omen (1976), Donner became famous for the hailed creation of the first modern superhero film, Superman (1978), starring Christopher Reeve. The influence of this film eventually helped establish the superhero concept as a respected film genre. Donner later went on to direct such films as The Goonies (1985) and Scrooged (1988), while reinvigorating the buddy film genre with Lethal Weapon (1987) and its sequels. He and his wife, producer Lauren Shuler Donner, own the production company The Donners' Company, which is most well known for producing the X-Men film series. In 2000, he received the President's Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. He was also nominated for Best Director in 1978 for Superman. Film historian Michael Barson writes that Donner had "emerged as one of Hollywood's most reliable makers of action blockbusters".[1] 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Buddy, you're talking to a guy who loves OSCAR, for god's sake. The Oscar's are rigged and they are political. Doesn't mean they are any better or worse of an artist because they win an Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 On the whole, the Oscars have gotten it mostly right-ish, imo. Lots of snubs, but not a lot of egregiousness in the grand scope of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
