It peaked then, and has been downhill ever since.
Also i like woody allen movies. Can somebody recommend a movie that combines these two things
He has apologised so many times, and every time it's news. People just won't let it go.
Die Hard was two years later rank.
Satans..... hints.....
I was just thinking about it again the other day
It's got Lemmy, Shane MacGowan, a black transgender/androgynous lead character that goes on a rampage and starts a revolution and cannibalism
it's basically the perfect movie
When you're coming down from the peak, you're still way up in the air
I mean, really
i first saw it in a dingy theater that was byob and allowed smoking
it was on a double feature with eating raoul.
what a dope fucking night
porky's
It's never ever addressed in the movie, and it could have easily been played by an angry white dude, but it's a great fucking fit for the movie and it isn't a story where bringing up gender or sexuality or race really has any fucking thing to do with anything. Poor people come in all shapes, colors and genders, but they're all fuckin' pissed about it.
he had a hit tv show (the comic strip presents) that helped fund his films
such as eat the rich, the pope must die, and churchill: the hollywood years.
he's still kicking, and i hope he gets one more gonzo movie made
oh yeah duh
everyone watch arena

Is that... Gul Dukat?
EDIT: And quark! Weird.
I'm just guessing based on snippets I've heard but I suspect Jinkins didn't think much of the script. A lot of Times in that movie the characters respond with just a look or mumble not-really-a-line stuff which implied to me she couldn't get permission to re-write some stuff and just improvised.

I can almost guarantee that it'll be the best modern Transformers movie.
Edit: although that screenwriter has a terrible track record.
It is like the one genre I can happily dig deep into and get super serial about but if it sucks I just shrug my shoulders and turn off my brain.
About the only time I have really genuinely hated a film in the last 20 years, it's been Zack Snyder failing to deliver on Superman.
hello this is not at all how making movies works goodbye
It was okay?
How so? My understanding was that rewriting lines had all sorts of baggage and sometimes directors just couldnt change lines and that because of that it was a lot easier to just drop lines.

movie scripts are some of the most malleable least set in stone things out there
if a director wants a line changed they'll change it
My bad!

No mean that I had thought that a consequence of the writers strike was that directors couldnt have a script changed.
But Im clearly wrong so it doesnt matter.
https://gofund.me/fa5990a5
Scripts are malleable, for sure, but they do matter, which is why the writers' strike would have been a big deal.
Think of it this way - a script is important because it's a written agreement between everyone in the production about how they're going to make the movie. The director has a lot of power in this arrangement, but any big changes they want have to be reflected in the script. If you're going to add a car chase it needs to go in the script so the Line Producer can start figuring out the budget, so VFX people can start figuring out how to do it safely, so the cinematographer can start planning how to shoot it, etc.
During a writers' strike, it becomes difficult to make those big picture changes. A director can still change things - they can improvise dialogue with the actors, or come up with a clever new use for an existing set - but it's hard to get approval for big, costly changes without an updated script to get everyone on the same page. So if you have a script that's fundamentally not working, and needs drastic changes, then a writer's strike means it's going to be stuck in a condition where no director could save it.
I hope that was useful and not overly pedantic!
Modern Bumblebee or?
My brother HATES modern bumblebee
Well now.
This looks interesting.
The visuals are astounding. And the alien and creature design is super inventive. But it's probably one of the hardest contrasts of quality of direction to writing I've seen in some time.
edit- I guess these are less supposed to be cohesive films and effectively long pitches for future project? I guess it's neat on that level? And I guess would explain the hard exposition of the narration and real lack of a plot throughline. But I dunno. Aside from some super neat design and alien concept, I'm not sure there's much here that hasn't been done before.
This is maybe the shittiest way you could possibly have put this.
