BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 1. You are right, of course. I was getting a condescending/dismissive tone from your post. ie. Only an idiot would consider these good movies and consider Eastwood a top director. Re-reading your posts, this was not the case, I apologize.No you were right the first time ,there was a condescending and dismissive tone from my post. But there's a condescending and dismissive tone to almost all my posts, so don't take it personal, I'm just a douchebag. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I would put QT as #2 on a list of writers, after the Coens, but he would not be near the top of my top 10 directors, and the Coens would be.Number one for me would be Charlie Kaufman, AINEC. But Coens and QT would probably be my 2, 3. Link to post Share on other sites
runthemover 39 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'm not very good at ranking. "You're all winners!"I don't understand what about the Prestige someone doesn't like though. Were you a big Illusionist fan or something? Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was giddy after the first time I saw Kill Bill Vol. 1. I would've just sat in the theater and watched it again if it wasn't the last showing of the night.God I was the same way. I'd been waiting so long, and it was so awesome. Kill Bill 2 was actually a let down at the time. I absolutely hated the ending, as I thought it was anticlimaxtic. Not to speak ill of the auto-erotically deceased, but having caradine was a mistake. But I like Kill Bill 2 much, much more now. I suppose my list is Pulp, IG, Kill Bill's, Res, Jackie, and I love jackie brown. If the coen's weren't so ****ing good, he'd be my favorite auteur.

Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 There is a Kill Bill: Vol. 3 listed as "In Production" on IMDB with a 2014 release. There is also a rumored 4th Volume as well.Sort of disappointing really. Would rather he not go down the self derivative path. Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I guess my QT Top Five rank would be:1. R Dogs2. KB 13. PF4. IB5. JBCoen Bros would be:1. Blood Simple2. Fargo3. Miller's Crossing4. No Country5. Raising ArizonaScorsese:1. Goodfellas2. Taxi Driver3. After Hours4. Casino5. King of ComedyNolan (That I've seen):1. Memento2. Batman Begins3. Dark Knight4. PrestigeHaven't seen Inception. Clint Eastwood:1. UnforgivenHaven't seen some of his others and thought Gran Torino was terrible. He only has one that makes a list of "great".

Iphonenkinder 558 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The Prestige is mostly about practical effects, right? You can make a big trick if you're willing to kill a couple of pigeons, make yourself physically uncomfortable, and practice the same thing for a couple hundred hours.The end of The Prestige has a sudden belief in real magic, in a way that is totally at odds with 90% of the movie. The ending felt tacked on, and deus ex machina. Link to post Share on other sites

SlapStick 0 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 also, I want to be clear for a moment.Do I need to pm you about your avatar? I don't understand what about the Prestige someone doesn't like though. Were you a big Illusionist fan or something?I'm never sure which movie I've seen. I could go google it but I'd forget in a week and be confused again. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Honestly I could not tell you the difference between Prestige and Illusionist and I have seen them both. So I don't think I really thought much of either of them. Link to post Share on other sites

You have absolutely no idea how right you are about that. He is banned from here as well, he has a big famous flame battle with some guy who I can't remember, then got banned.

Unfortunately when you get banned you can still pm people and he sent me a bunch of psycho pm's. Total wacko. He also posted like 200 times per day.That was a fun flame battle though.

Ripptyde's name and picture aren't exactly state secrets, they've been plastered all over nwp/dd for years, with all manner of black cocks inserted into the pictures. I just think X22 is hilarious, and jewdy's bucked toothed grin only adds to the hilarity of that picture. Link to post Share on other sites
