One sentence to describe a filmmaker.

[DVnotDivvy]

Quentin Tarantino

Good news: He has a good talent/imagination for intense sequences.

Bad news: His dialogue is best reserved for a blog, not a movie.

dude......his dialogue and scripts are the best in the industry

He's not too bad, but waaayy too overrated and unrealistic.

 

[Canid117]

And now, I am going to write one sentence to describe an Escapist user.

James Cameron: Lucky and horribly untalented but somehow a rich bastard.

The good: Has watched Titanic and Avatar.
The bad: Hasn't watched the first two Terminators.

Or Aliens.

Bad : There's always a twist.

George Lucas
The good - He imagined an excellent world with compelling characters.
The bad - He spent the next 30 years shitting all over it.

That is so true it's not even funny....

I could laugh, picture Lucas shitting on a big star wars logo.

 

[KingofallCosmos]

Hitchcock:

Good: He invented the psychlogical thriller
Bad: Nothing else has been invented in Hollywood since.

[KingofallCosmos]

Takeshi Kitano:

Good: Surreal mixes with violence and poetic imagery
Bad: Suffers Shakespeare syndrome. (everybody gets shot in every film)

 

[SamElliot'sMustache]

John Carpenter

The good: A master craftsman who sets up every scene brilliantly.

The bad: I hate to say this, but he hasn't made a decent movie since In the Mouth of Madness, though I'm holding out hope that The Ward is good.

 

[The Funslinger]

George Lucas
The good - He imagined an excellent world with compelling characters.
The bad - He spent the next 30 years shitting all over it.

Yes, and now our last hope is the people who do the books and comics for extended universe, because at least there, he has little to no control.

OT: well, this, pretty much ^^^

 

[Dieter Meyer]

Terry Gilliam

Good: Brilliant and twisted.

Bad: Out of work.

Out of work? He's yet to make his Don Quixote movie!

The Good: He was controversial, and wasnt afraid to do what his heart told him to.
The Bad: He's dead

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

M. Night Shyamalan.

Good: For the longest time, you were my favorite director, and I still love The Village despite what anyone says.

Bad: I have tried soooooooooo hard to defend you over the years to everyone, but you have made this a near impossible task lately.

Stanley Kubrick
The Good:He is a genius.
The Bad:He couldn't share 2001 with Arthur C. Clarke.

Paul Verhoeven
The Good:He directed several sci-fi films which were quite good.
The Bad:He fucked up Starship Troopers, nevertheless a good movie in itself.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Terry Gilliam

Good: Brilliant and twisted.

Bad: Out of work.

QFT. Terry Gilliam made some of the coolest but weirdest films ever. The sad part is that he seems to have a curse that his films are always plagued with executive meddling and the universe conspiring to screw him over.
