    The Great Gatsby isn't going to be crap because of 3D. It's going to be crap because Baz Luhrman hasn't made a good movie in over a decade.

    Baz Luhrmann has made only one movie in the last ten years

    what's your point?

  • FutoreFutore Registered User regular
    Do you mean that it has been a while for a director who does not have the largest backlog of directed movies?

    I would agree, definitely. But when I first heard that he was directing this adaptation with this cast, I thought it was a great fit

    My point is I have as much confidence in Baz Lurman making a movie that isn't a bloated, gaudy piece of shit as I do in something clever I have no confidence in.

    My point is Baz Lurman made a visually interesting movie a long time ago and the quality of what he's made has gone steadily down in direct correlation with the growing artistic freedom he's received to realize his dumb ideas.

    Julie Taymor and Zack Snyder

    This argument is also making me think Zack Snyder should direct Henry V
    It's an idea just stupid enough to work!

    Exactly. You spend a lot of time on it, involved with it in various ways.

    Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge are both fantastic

    Australia would have been much better if the epilogue to the damn love story wasn't an hour long

    They face an obstacle similar to people in the mattress industry. The feeling towards buying mattresses is very negative despite the fact that you spend a very important 1/3 of your life on them

    anti I think the transgender lady that works at my job might get fired
    maybe
    because she gave a newspaper interview with some unkind things to say about said job

    never mentioned them by name but yeah it's pretty obvious where she works

    I am worried for her

    dag yo, that bites

  • RaneadosRaneados police apologist you shouldn't have been there, obviouslyRegistered User regular
    she's a part-timer and can get fired for literally any reason

    and where I work doesn't protect against transgender discrimination (yet? apparently it will soon?)

    which is the issue she was talking about

    this might get into some dangerously ironic territory

  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    I really liked Moulin Rouge

    Goddamnit, Downton Abbey, the fuck kind of a way to end anything is that?

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    I liked Moulin Rouge a lot when I finally saw it, even though when it came out I was strongly opposed to it on the grounds that every girl I knew wouldn't shut the fuck up about it

    And I also mostly liked Romeo and Juliet though the best scene is still the shootout at the beginning

    That probably says more about me than the movie though

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    nah, that was the best scene, gg

    was forced to watch that movie

    i mean, the juxtaposition of the old timey dialog in the modern day was fun, but eh

    also rane nooooo now i'm sad :C

    if only romeo + juliet kept as good as it was for that first scene, it'd be a lot better

    alas

    Leo Caprio is poop

    Is that to say Leo has followed a linear progression regarding his acting talents?

    I still don't think he's all that good

    I never saw shutter island, though, so my opinion should have an asterisk by it

    but honestly, he's never been in a single movie that someone else couldn't have done so much better

    a lot of someones

  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    Leo was pretty fantastic in both Catch Me if You Can and The Departed

    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
  • FutoreFutore Registered User regular
    interesting. I really really liked him in Shutter Island, but that's fine that you didn't see that movie. A good amount of people didn't seem to like it.

    who would you have replaced him with in Inception?
