baumer Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Basic Instinct was one of the best films of 1992. It alone gets him on my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Exactly, I fell asleep in Transformers 3 because the movie bored me to death, I don't even like the Rock, so I am fine saying that Bay has never made a good film in his life. I don't care how much work it takes to be a director, hard work (Knowing Bay's personality I highly doubt he works half as hard as 90% of the directors in Hollywood today) doesn't mean shit if the product is shit (And especially as of late, Bay's products are bottom of the heap, offensive dogshit). To be a good director, you need talent, you need vision, you need to be able to get people to cooperate well with you, you need to work hard, and you have to have respect for the story you are telling. If you have no respect for the stories you are telling then don't expect the audience to respect your movie. (Michael Bay has no respect for the stories he tells, you can see it with the way he treats his franchise movies, and how he treated Pain and Gain by doing nothing but glorifying crazed murderers )There is so much wrong with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I agree with this. The only thing I would add is that John G. Avildsen directed Rocky and won the Academy Award for best Director for directing Rocky. I did vote for John G. Avildsen. Here's hoping that he makes the list. Hey Walt Disney fan!! Oh cool.. I though Stallone directed Rocky..My bad. . I know he did write it though. Thanks for that update . Rocky is definitely in my top20 top 30 all time films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarJarBinks Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Truffaut's Hitchcock book, in which he interviewed Hitchcock about his films/career is a great read. A lot of great B&W film stills in it as well. Edited February 6, 2014 by JarJarBinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbinski didn't direct POTC 4. But yeah the guy couldn't direct a bland and ordinary blockbuster to save his life, which IMO makes him valuable even if he misses as often as he hits. And when he hits, he's great. I absolutely love COTBP and Rango. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
