I actually loved 'Gerry'. I do think that people either love or hate this movie; there is no middle way.
The repeptitive 5-minutes walking scenes, the panoramic shots, the ambient music, the moment when Casey Affleck is on that rock and it takes them about 15 minutes to get him down. I don't know. I just like this experimental, out-of-the-ordinary kind of stuff.
Quentin Tarantino - Death Proof (Grindhouse). So much potential. Kurt Russel stole the show and the chase scene was awesome but that's about it. This was by far Tarantino's most pretentious film, even worse than The Man From Hollywood (Four Rooms). I can't count on my fingers how many times Tarantino name-dropped Vanishing Point, among others. We get it. Death Proof was inspired by Vanishing Point. Shut up already! Also, lame characters. The days of Jules and the Vega brothers are over. These girls were annoying as hell and their dialogue was horrendous and, even worse, boring. Even Stuntman Mike got ruined by bad writing. Tarantino's losing it IMO.
DUDE I AGREE! The film started out great..but then went DOWNHILL ever that. Its possibly one of the worst film endings EVER.
What am I working on?!? Splatter - Revisions Bad Hare - Writing
Hey, good topic, I was just arguing with friends about this.
Steven Spielberg - Probably 1941. Even he admits it.
Quentin Tarantino - The Man From Hollywood. It's just downright boring.
George Lucas - Ha ha ha!
Peter Jackson - King Kong. I'm a big fan of Jackson's earlier work, and King Kong was overlong, masturbatory, poorly written, self-indulgent tripe. Worst of all, the end wasn't even sad.
David Fincher - Alien 3. I don't need to rip on it any more than it's already endured, but DAMN that movie sucked.
Luc Besson - Arthur and the Invisibles. I feel bad saying this because the movie isn't necessarily bad, just extremely forgettable. Still, Besson's always given us much better than this humdrum, unoriginal little kid's story.
Ridley Scott - Legend. Okay, I haven't seen a lot of his new stuff, but good god, if it hadn't been the inspiration for Zelda, I would fine a way to erase this movie from our timeline (even with that great turn by Robert Picardo as Meg Mucklebones).
Terry Gilliam - Tideland. How such a boring movie could also manage to be so depressing is beyond me. I think this is what happens when someone has way too much freedom. Kinda like King Kong, although the results were decidedly different.
James Cameron - I'm not gonna say what you think I'm gonna say...well, actually, I am. Highest grossing movie of all time, fah, Titanic sucked.
Richard Donner - The Toy. Such a wonderful lineup (like 1941), but this is just a huge flop of a movie, one of those movies that you just instantly know is, well, a huge flop. Painful to watch, and painful because it's painful to watch, because who doesn't like Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason?
Robert Rodriguez - Sadly, I DID catch Sharkboy and Lava Girl.
David Lynch - Inland Empire. Three hours of pure hell. We know you're weird, David, we don't care. Give me a story to go with it and I'm right there with you. But this was just hard to watch.
John McTiernan - Rollerball. Ouch. Nothing like trashing a semi-classic.
Philip Noyce - Sliver Guy Ritchie - Swept Away Alfred Hitchcock - Topaz John Woo - Paycheck Wim Wenders - Million Dollar Hotel Clint Eastwood - The Rookie Steven Soderbergh - Ocean's Twelve James Cameron - True Lies Wes Craven - Deadly Friend Spike Lee - Girl 6
Well i'll give the worst movies of my favorite directors:
Guillermo del Toro - Mimic
The Coen Bros - The LadyKillers, Intolerable Cruelty
Clint Eastwood - Blood Work
And the other director is Chris Nolan! He's the perfect one, no bad film, Following, Memento, Insomnia, Prestige, The Batman's franchise all so different and good, and look at his age he's just 38!
David Fincher's Alien 3. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't think Alien 3 was bad at all. But compare Alien 3 to Aliens and ALien, and then compare it to Fincher's other work... this is no masterpiece.
Ladykillers is a remake, and is no way compared with No Country, even thou their different movies.
Cheers
You say remake like that automatically makes it a bad thing. And I don't have a taste for bad movies, I just have a different taste that is different from yours.
