No. It doesn't sound like something I would enjoy doing. Kind of a dumb thread idea.

>>334987>would be number 1 if he died or retired right after Apocalypse NowWhat causes this in directors? How can you go from consistently making masterpieces to suddenly losing the ability to make anything good at all? It happened to Coppola, it happened to Scott, it happened to Carpenter and a thousand others.

I think Deniro just took whatever he could get to make alimony payments. Has he been in anything good since the divorce?

>>334999They make a name for themselves, and then later in their career they're just phoning it in, other people are doing most of the legwork, but they put their names on the films because they're basically a brand. That's my theory, anyway.

>>334999Peaked hard early so they probably lost their creative edge. Also once they become bigshots they don't have to answer to anyone but themselves, which allows more creative freedom but that means that there's no filter to tell them what's shit.

>>335009That's because of Pesci and Al Pacino sharing the same screen, De Niro looked at his worst by being a middle aged man with the body of a stiff geezer.

>>335015Killers of the Flower Moon is like the ideal stoner film. It's 3 1/2 hours long, and gets quirkier and quirkier as it goes on.

>>335049The Brendan Fraser scenes were the best. When he suddenly shows up after a slow build of 2.5hrs w or so and starts yelling all over the place I just couldn't help but laugh.

>>335052Yep, that's the kind of thing I was referring to. He and John Lithgow as the state attorney show up yelling, and the ending. The scene at the mason lodge was unexpected, too.

Jaws is the only Spielberg movie I really like. Raiders and Close encounters and all that are fine, but that's it.

American Graffiti was the best movie Lucas ever made. Episode 4 and 5 were pretty good for a scifi, 5 was trash because of the Ewoks, and then every other movie he's produced has been shit.
