Carpenter's "I am old and out of fucks to give" arc is kind of amazing.
>>203886351
>>203886355
>>203886376
Kek based angry old man
Has he reviewed the Thing yet?
>>203886351Now I gotta see it again. Every single time an artist wants to wreck every copy, it's utterly kino.
>>203886351This isn't the real Carpenter sadly, just some tard larping.Aside from the PR agency moves with Scroshitty and Coppola there are two authentic director accounts on Lbxd, Flanagan and Sean Baker. Although both rarely write anything or give out ratings. Uwe Boll had an account but tranny mods deleted it.
>>203886541>This isn't the real Carpenter sadly, just some tard larping.Dunno, man, Carpenter has been unfiltered since forever and he told way too much truth in "They Live" to the point where the fucking system SHUT THE FILM DOWN after two whole weeks, even though it was kicking ass.
>>203886355>i had faith in rick rosenthaul and he did not deliverLmaoo
>>203886541Hold up, this is actually the real JC account, I mistook it for another one which is a LARP. Major kek then.
>>203886391lmao
>>203886510
>>203886541S Craig Zahler imdb profilehttps://www.imdb.com/user/ur28840957/
>>203886575>9/10 to the Crust episode Zahler bros....
>>203886573And the 2011 one:
>>203886573Im glad he lived long enough to see people appreciate the movie. Not a lot of people that make something ahead of its time get to do that.
>>203886573It's yet another testament to the movie's greatness that the once "all-time classic" has become a footnote to Carpenter's masterpiece
>>203886597>i have always liked mary elizabeth winsteadPUTA
>>203886391Fucking kek god I wish more directors were this open
>>203886355Carpenter is based but he's too harsh on Halloween 2. Yeah the sister thing is retarded but overall it's a good movie and one of the best horror sequels.
>>203886351Though I dislike his shitty hippie take on Reagan, his other opinions are insightful and to the point. Good thread anon
>>203886669Reagan is a terrible movie
>>203886655Agreed. The TV version of Halloween 1 fixes some of that, or makes it worse depending on how far a stick is rammed up your ass.
>>203886655Agreed
>>203886676But his rant is content-free and obviously politically motivated
>>203886694Reagan was pro gun-control (gun banning and confiscation is directly responsible for the bum/homeless/ problem we have now. Sort of. His VP made him do a lot of it,but following orders is still following orders.
>>203886573But the Stranger Things kids had a The Thing poster in 1983!
Did he post about Prince of Darkness?
>>203886351Honestly it's not, he's just an attention-seeking old git who for some reason has had a permanent chip on his shoulder ever since his films started flopping and he quit filmmaking despite that it was all his own choice to go down the path of pot smoking and video game addiction. Even so he made some great films in his heyday but like Stephen King can't stand him as a person
>>203886747>gun banning and confiscation is directly responsible for the bum/homeless/ problem we have nowAmericans will just say anything before picking up a single book to check if it's true.
>>203886725>I-I was just pretending to direct this movieCope, fag. You made a terrible movie because there was a sexy actress involved.
>>203886779That film is criminally underrated. What it has isn't something that can easily be described, except suffice to say that it feels like it took place in another dimension.
>>203886782>Stephen King can't stand him as a personYet one more reason why I love Carpenter despite disagreeing with his politics
>>203886783It's true, anon. Reagan spearheaded the banning of full autos and he gleefully nodded his head and did all he could to let literally one Jewish liar alter the system into what we have now.
>>203886804Yeah it has an uncanny dreamlike atmosphere. That short found footage sequence is scarier than 90% of horror.
>>203886758The problem with this was the cast. Niggers acting like space niggers in the hood. Change ice cube with Denzel and Pam Grier with Sigourney and this would've been great
>>203886655>>203886677>>203886678it's absolute fucking dogshit.there really is no accounting for taste when even the screen writer can admit it's terrible but you have to run defence for it.
>>203886782>>203886822
>>203886875>the artist is ze ahlee wan who understands, grasshoppahYeah nah, I like what I like. Tough shit if Carpenter can't handle it.
i don't think this is real
>>203886758>NOOOO PLEASE LIKE MY FILM IT'S JUST LIKE THE THING ONE DAY IT WILL BE CONSIDERED A CLASSICno you old fart
>>203886758this is a good bad movie in my humble opinion. he succeeded.
>>203886910Even if it turns out not to be, it's still pretty entertaining.
>>203886828Oddly comfy too.
>>203886758>digital was taking over, studios were getting more abusive and powerhungry>The turn of the 21st century were dark, dark times for cinemaMan, I wonder what he thinks of George Lucas and the Star Wars prequels that caused all of this.>I'd rather make 10 Ghosts of Mars-type flicks than one Disney Star Wars or Marvel movie.BASED BASED BASED
>>203886747I seriously doubt Carpenter hates Reagan for being a gun-grabber or immigration enabler. To liberals, Reagan was the Blumpf of the '80s. (And Nixon the '70s, Bush the '00s, etc.)
>>203886779>>203886804>>203886828>>203886921
>>203886892yeah you like trash. I'm pretty sure it's not actually Carpenter. probably some anon, right?
>>203886875Shallow contrarian nonsense
>>203886934Your mistake is thinking that Carpenter is the neo-liberal anti-gun-at-all-costs puke; at al, when I know for a fact that he's one of the most conservative men to have ever lived.
>>203886890Kek that's what I'm talking about FUCK Stephen King
>>203886758ah yes, the massage shit that leaves a lasting memory and you thinking about where your friend is now on their magical sewer adventure
>>203886945So? You can label anything in this world and it won't tarnish my enjoyment. And it's most likely the real Carpenter. Btw one of my favorite films is "The Spy Who Loved Me", just wondering if you consider it trash.
Honestly I want Carpenter to review Cronenberg movies
>>203887004
>>203886940His not giving enough of a fuck was the magic that gave the film that element of other-worldliness.
This is most likely fake but Uwe Boll really is on there and for some reason he reviewed the Big Bad Beetle Borgs movie.
>>203886890>I did not enjoy working with King on Christine. That guy is on fucking crack.
>>203886351>>203886355>>203886376>>203886391TOPKEK!! Absolutely based old man.
>>203887022>This is most likely fakeI'm also confused, he would made a tweet about his new letterboxd account, but there is none.
>>203887022>This is most likely fakeWhy do late summerfags keep saying this? Anyone who knows anything about John Carpenter knows that these reviews are real.
>>203886355Holy based, what site is this?
>>203887053Letterboxd
Must be nice to be a psychopathic leech on society and get millions for doing nothing like that retarded faggot so you can say whatever you want without risk of dying in a ditch.I just don't get why you guys who are also slaves to him are praising for it.
>>203887085>when you go so contrarian you go full circle back to genuine
>>203887039https://m.imdb.com/news/ni64849531/?ref_=nws_nwr_liLetteboxd is a garbage site though. Can't even find shit unless I use google to do it.
>>203887085That's because your spergout of a comment suggests you don't actually have a nuanced opinion
>>203887009Does he have a review for Body Bags you can pull up. I want to know what he thought of it. He was trying to do his own style of Tales from the Crypt
>>203886351Does he have the Vampires one? I never understood the hate, to me it's a very entertaining and well done vampire flick.
>>203887141I don't think it deserves hate but its definitely sort of cringey
>>203887134And he was a KINO master of ceremonies in the wraparound segments
>>203887141OP would be good to tell us how he searched that website because it's trash and can't be easily searched. A troon designed it for sure.
>>203887134
>>203886782stephen king is a massive faggot with incredibly shit opinions. He's just human chatgpt
>>203887169HOW ARE YOU FINDING HIS REVIEWS ON THAT SHITTY WEBSITE?

>>203887085What are you talking about you fucking sperg?
>>203887211THANK YOU
>>203887214Go away reddit
Sam Neill is an angel confirmed :3
>>203887169I really like horror anthologies and this is one of the best. He's too hard on himself. He's right that it just felt like a ripoff Tales From the Crypt though.
>>203886351>>203886355>>203886376>>203886391>>203886573Amazing, thanks for posting. So used to Hollywood being so hopelessly full of shit that hearing Carpenter being this honest is like seeing a unicorn fly past the window.
>>203887264True. His sincerity is truly exhilarating
>>203886351On They Live>Roddy did a great job without any real prior acting experience. He was a real sport and he put his body on the line like few actors I've worked with.I think he ultimately went to far with it though. All those head injuries caught up to him in his last couple of years. We met up in June 2015 to watch They Live one last time together, and he died in July. He told me didn't think he'd make it to the end of the year, and I knew deep down he was probably right.RIP to Roddy, a great man and great friend.Damn, right in the feels.
>>203887253>He's right that it just felt like a ripoff Tales From the Crypt though.What else could it have felt like? Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but it's horror vignettes, so what was he or anyone else expecting?
Pretty cool Piper got to watch it with him one last time.
>he shits on The FogOk, he needs to put down the bong.
Is it really that good?
>>203886940It's a damn good movie for the work put in and the money invested
Did he review escape from l.a.?
>>203887323I'm hesitant to see what he says about Assault in Precinct 13 bc I love The Fog and even more Precinct
>>203887319Definitely one of those show me your scars, I'll show you mine moments I bet, like from Jaws. Comfy, yet melancholy, the situation, not the film.
I want him to write multiple paragraphs shitting on the rob zombie halloween movies
>>203887319That's nice. But anon being surprised by Carpenter doing this is weird, because he always went off in interviews. There's some interview years/decades out from They Live and he's like>it's a current documentary, society has refused to wake up
>>203887397Yes. >Okay, the CGI is godawful. It's satan-awful. Why do you think I fucking hate CGI so much? The movie was put into the hands of people I didn't know and I was told "trust them, they'll make effects that'll blow you away." Never again.But I actually really like this one. It was a good middle finger to Hollywood and all the jerks who yanked me around. Kurt Russell is a blast to work with as always.In terms of cinematography, I think this is one of my better films.I prefer it to the first one. It's funnier, has better action, better performances, better set pieces. I think the script is more clever this time around too.I'd love the CGI to be better but what can you do.This movie bombed really hard, which was sad and shocking. It got beat opening weekend by the Francis Ford Coppola movie where Robin Williams pretends to be a toddler. Now, you tell me, which movie is worse?------>>203887410>I am very proud of this one, but it's not perfect.We had $95k to a make a million-dollar movie. I think we did a damn good job.
>>203886351>>203886355>>203886376I like all of these movies a lot, but I can also very much empathize with hating your own work and seeing all the flaws no one else would ever think about.Absolutely based old man posting
>>203887450>We had $95k to a make a million-dollar movie. I think we did a damn good job.It is kino and one of the greatest action movies of all time
>>203887323>>203887410
>>203887468Agreed, that one and They Live are my favorite Carpenter movies
>>203887410>>203887474
>>203887474It was scary, though.
>>203887446How did that movie even flop? It was great
>>203887484Different times, people were used to slop.
>>203887476I hate 1 and almost like 2, but 3 smashed it outta the park. Not sure why he hates the ending.
>>203887484It came out against Aliens for one.
>>203887495Why do you hate 1? It's great, even if 3 is betterI do agree on almost liking 2, it's better than the later sequels/prequels for sure
>>203887474>>203887480Disagree with him on both: The Fog is quite scary with a superb sense of place and Assault on Precinct 13 is quite simply a masterpiece
>>203886597>one of the best movies ever made>I've never seen the whole thing"
>>203887484It was heavily marketed on Kurt Russell as the leading man and an adventure movie, so people went in expecting Indy when they should have expected a Shaw Brothers flick.
>>203886940I love that film.
>>203887507>Why do you hate 1?The realest answer I can give you is that I was raised Catholic. Part 2 is just frustrating because it seems to have all the elements needed to be cool, but it just mostly makes no sense and is silly. Love the James Earl Jones scenes of course.
>>203887504Well fair enough.
>>203887517You do know he's talking about the 2011 remake of Carpenter's remake there, yeah?
>>203886355Don't agree on this take, Halloween should have had a sequel and the one we got was pretty decent, it also sounds like he personally picked Rick Rosenthal and apart from 2 that dude directed Resurrection which was the worst Halloween movie and one of the worst slashers period
>>203887527Exorcist is pretty pro-catholic movie though when you think about it.
>>203887362Yes. It’s a shame the 3rd one is apparently having production issues and probably won’t be as good.
>>203887554>Exorcist is pretty pro-catholic movie though when you think about it.It probably is, but it just offends me. Yes, everyone else loves it, that's ok.
>>203886764A bunch of movies set in the 80s have The Thing poster on main character's wall, but even Carpenter admits it didn't become popular until the 90s
>>203887602>it didn't become popular until the 90sThat's a myth that for some reason he's perpetuating, I mean, I saw The Thing (1982) on TV during the 80s and loved it like everyone else.
>>203886355>>203886655>>203886678>>203887458H2PROS> Almost tied with the original in terms of suspense & mood.> Score is surprisingly unique from the original but still fantastic.> Film fits with the original almost seamlessly and works perfectly as one long film.> Great finale.> Best nudity of the series by Pamela Susan Shoop.MIXED> The original mask is reused and does not fit the new actor as well + has damage to the nose. It looks bad in a few specific shots under bright/harsh lighting but looks fantastic in others (when Myers looks back after slashing the Marshal's throat or when Loomis points his gun in Myers face at close range near the end). Generally it looks fine through most of the film.> Some dislike the reveal of Laurie being Myers sister. I am fine with it.CONS> Laurie is bedridden most of the film and does not get to fight back directly as much as in the original.> Not enough of the adorably cute Jill.
>>203887484He literally just explained how, you dope.
>>203886725>>203886796
>>203887252Based love sam
>>203886541My closest brush with fame is that Uwe Boll once followed me on Letterboxd just because I liked one of his reviews one time.Unfortunately, he was banned like a week after that, maybe even sooner.
>>203886758I love this man
>>203887517Is that you in your pic? Fucking retard
>>203886725>>203886796>>203887652
>>203887169I really really like Body Bags and his performance.
>>203886355HE LIKED HALLOWEEN 4.THANK YOU GOD.
>>203886758>I'd rather make 10 more ghosts of mars type movies than 1 disney wars or marvel movie.And I'd rather watch 10 more ghosts of mars type movies than 1 disney wars or marvel movie.
>>203886602>>203886612Strongly agree. The Thing is a classic on the level of Alien or Star Wars (if not better, IMHO it is) and deserved that kind of world-shattering impact upon release. It's like it fell down the back of the couch for 20 years when suddenly people realised "Hang on, this is actually a masterpiece." The lack of recognition upon release will be repaid in dividends by the passage of time. Like a Van Gogh painting, its reputation and acclaim will continue to grow to the point it eventually dwarfs most of the shit people think of as "classics" today.
Did I miss the Halloween 1 review or hasn't it been posted yet?
>>203886391based. my boomer coworker keeps recommending me this tripe and I don't have the heart to tell him reagan sucks>>203887474have to agree. people always told me how good the Fog is and when I watched it, it was boring as fuck. Vampires was more entertaining to me. Maybe because James Woods is the man and Jamie Lee Curtis just looks like a man.
Where’s the proof this is actually a genuine account by Carpenter and not just someone doing a pretty good impersonation based on his interviews?
>>203886890>John Carpenters Stephen Kings It
>>203887784How could he not? It ended the series far better than II ever could. That and the fact that the entire thing is perfect for what it is.>......Goddamn you>BLAM BLAM BLAM
>>203887828he told me it was his while we were playing Halo
>>203887828https://filmstories.co.uk/news/john-carpenter-reviews-his-own-movies-on-letterboxd/IMDB also confirms. So rejoice.
>>203887828To me it feels exactly like what a boomer would do if someone showed him this "new" thing he didn't knew before and became addicted before the novelty wore off.
To this day still makes me seethe

>>203887874but he is the Halloween guy... he made the score and everything
>>203887840
>Space Jam (1996)>Now this is a real man's movie. I wish I could've made it. Seriously! What a blast it would have been to make basketball and Looney Toons. Every studio on planet earth would've balked if I tried it though.I probably would've cast an actual actor, like Denzel Washington, Samuel L Jackson, or Laurence Fishbourne for example, to play a fictional basketball player and not a real NBA player to play himself. I would have given MJ a smaller role. But the film would not have gotten made without MJ front and center.This one is a guilty pleasure, except I'm not guilty.
>>203887899>This one is a guilty pleasure, except I'm not guilty.Incredibly based. Everyone going on about "Muh guilty pleasure" is just a fag scared of honesty.
>>203887362It's only decent animation-wise. The plot, pacing, and most of character work is absolute nonsense, but everyone just overlooks it because of the pretty visuals.
basketball
>>203887197Not gonna lie. I like that movie
>>203887913Nta, but this is why I am happy to say that Return of the Jedi is fundamentally the best Star Wars film ever made. I've never been ashamed and in fact I hate the tryhards who say it's weak because it has deadly teddy bears. Like, sorry you have a stick up your ass and can't understand allegories.
>>203886573>cressfallenGOOD MORNING BLOODY BENCHOD SAAR!!! BASTARD BICH IT IS CRESTFALLEN SAAR I LEARNED THIS FROM THE YOURTUBE ACEDAMY AND GOOGLE RESULT
>>203887554>the film about a Catholic ritual and with a priest as the main character based on a book written by a Catholic man is pretty pro-CatholicStop the fucking presses
>>203887969>this elderly man who quickly wrote a review made a minor spelling mistake in one word that autocorrect probably did anyway>this means he poops on the film as he watches it
>>203887972>the thing that commercializes good and evil is totally good trust meHmmmm maybe it IS Catholic.
>>203887954the teddy bears are lame, but the first half and ending is great. vader's duel with luke at the end is all time great cinema
>>203887319What is he talking about? Year before you had G.I. Joe: The Movie, prince's braid and the predator.
>>203887252/hor/ suggested this to me a few weeks ago, its one of the best movies i have ever seen
>>203886355Halloween 2 isn’t even that bad
>>203886376His spelling is terrible. Christ, he’s retarded
>>203886351He did this job for money and Chevy Chase was insufferable.Chase was convinced this was his big moment to become a dramatic actor, original director Ivan Reitman and writer William Goldman could not wrap their heads around these script demands Chase wanted and so walked off the project.Daryl Hannah behaved the same way as Chase.
>>203886355>I did not care about the quality of my work and it showed and I am not to blame
>>203888033>the teddy bears are lameThat's fine, I can accept that for some people it doesn't work, or so they claim. As for me, being the son of a Vietnam vet, I got the references and it enhanced it. Even my dad liked it, although when I told him what Lucas meant it did piss him off for a bit, then he stopped caring and watched it anyway.>but the first half and ending is great. vader's duel with luke at the end is all time great cinemaIsn't it? As a kid I didn't appreciate how Vader wanted to have his cake and eat it too, but then at the last second the Emperor forces Vader's hand and brings about his own end. For a kid, it has to happen because...of course daddy will save me, but for adults it feels like so much more, when it really isn't.
>>203887987Kek
HE'S COOKING SOMETHING
>>203887987Is that one that got sued for being escape from new york rip off
>>203886376Ahead of its time. Its pure scifi.
>>203886391... that's a really good insult.
>>203888131
What about Starman?
>>203888148>This one redeemed me in the public eye for one movie. Even Spielberg called me up to tell me this was one of his favorites of the year.People congratulated me for directing Jeff Bridges to an Oscar nomination, but I barely directed him at all. He came onto the set with this weird robotic alien act and I thought it was awful! But he's a great actor so I let him do it. I hardly told him what to do. Maybe I should not admit that.I do enjoy this one, even if it was a film-for-hire.https://letterboxd.com/john_carpenter/films/reviews/by/added/page/3/
>>203888131I hope it's western. Time is right. There is resurgence of westerns happening right now. He could get funding to do it. And it has always been one of his goals. Or maybe western adjust but strangers. Like civil war battle field looting gang movie
>>203886376I like Dark Star
>>203886890>that guy is on crackmid-1980s King was on a lot of drugs, dunno about crack but certainly cocaine and pills
>>203886890>John Carpenter's Stephen King's IT
>>203886940it's held together by good pacing and editing for the first 45 minutesbut then it becomes another Carpenter "people trapped in building" flick
>>203886573>oh that crazy bodyhorror stuff? teeheeCarpenter is on another frequency
>>203888168Just remember that something made him make it. Something makes us all do things. With that in mind, who needs a license from its mother to care for it?
>>203888173If Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula got away with it, Carpenter could have too
>>203887253horror anthologies were big in the 1980s I wouldn't call it a rip off
>>203888170Maximum Overdrive were those drugs, just the right amount of them.
>>203887652Oh yeah, I forgot Sweeney was in it.
>>203887319Wrong. The Running Man had Jesse Ventura in it.
>>203886376>>203888168Carpenter is seething because Dan O'Bannon was more talented than him
>>203888214I hope he's making a film about video games.
>>203887197pretty sure he is drunk writing these
>>203888131>>203888214
>>203888245>abuse your actors and setting them against each other is top flight filmmakingMaybe so, but you can't except every guy to adopt that style.
>>203888214>>203888251How is that not covered in MSM?

>>203887504Ouch, fair enough.
>>203886910It sounds like him so I think it is realhttps://youtu.be/uVYs5Y_EqSc
>>203887484if you do not tell people a great movie is being released how will they know and go see and buy tickets
>>203888248he is gonna direct a film from his living room while the second unit is on set, like George Miller did with the truck chase scene in Furiosa
>>203887298Huh, this is interesting. For me Hereditary was one of those rare times you think everyone must've been on drugs when they saw it because what you saw was a load of nonsensical bullshit bordering on self-parody. No idea why people love that movie so much.Haven't been interested in Aster since but this just became a must-watch to see if Based Carpenter is right about Aster farting out proper kino.
>>203888132Yeah and John won the case I believe.
>>203887876Fucking based
john carpenter is a pretentious prick
>>203886910It's him
>>203888250He was baked
>>203888161Dude's a pal with Tarantino, he'd probably pull some strings for the guy if John asked him to.

>>203886573>It should've been called "Who Goes There?" and not The ThingWTF he's already got debilitating dementia or what
>>203888373Who goes there is the original name iirc
>>203888373fucking uneducated pleb
>>203888296That's fine. It should star James Woods and take place in acades and in some nice forest lands. I want a mystery flick that uses sci-fi as misdirection.
>>203886351shit taste, what a stupid irrelevant old toothless dweeb, unless he did it to troll in which case good job but i doubt it as the hollywood bubble and that gay website adore that piece of crap.
>>203887197>Instead of scaling down action scenes, we just kept everything the same scene-by-scene until we had used up the budget.actual absolute madman...
>>203888349good
>>203888422It's well animated and has a decent story. Not the best Spider-Man film but certainly shits all over the Tom Holland ones.
>uses a social media site by and for troonsyikes
>>203888448I've tried to watch itwhen it shifts to an empty hotel, cause they apparently ran out of money, it just dies
>>203886355pfhahaha. the movie had good tits thoughever, its the one positive i'm willingy to give it
>>203887484Fuck knows. Carpenter's movies always seem to be ahead of their time, they fly under the radar or totally bomb on release then the normies catch up a decade or two later and go "yeah bro such a classic movie I liked it before it was cool"
>According to the Peacock network, John Carpenter never visited the sets to direct. He remote-directed a crew on a faraway soundstage from a leather easy chair at home.
>>203888349It's very entertaining and has great performances.
>>203887504same thing happened to The Thing, came out two weeks after ET
>>203888100He's old as the hills and long out of fucks.
>>203888168Me too, it had a certain charm.
>>203888448>>Instead of scaling down action scenes, we just kept everything the same scene-by-scene until we had used up the budget.>actual absolute madman...He had Quint energy: https://youtu.be/hSbbc06EW9g?t=2
>>203888102>and Chevy Chase was insufferableAbsolutely everyone who's ever worked with Chevy Chase has come out of it loathing him. He's just a turd in the shape of a human being.
>>203886782>Stephen King can't stand him as a personBadge of honor for Carpenter.
>>203888470The book is great. The only good book the author ever wrote. I was really looking forward to the movie. It was okay, but only the first few minutes are about the book, after that it's a completely different story. But now at least I know why.
>>203888492Hey, that's E3M2!
i feel like he could be posting here just to vent in an open forum lol
>>203888492That show was fucking shit garbage. And I have a high tolerance for shitty shows of that type. I would put it on a list of worst shows/movies ever made.
>>203888492
>>203888514I really enjoyed it. Just randomly caught it one evening.It was just fun, in a weird kind of way.I can see why he wouldn't like it today, because it's basically "fucking around with a bunch of buddies", but that's what I like about it.
>>203886355>>203886376Hating your own work is cringe and reddit, just saying.
>>203888585Everyone has off days(or off months). Man with his output has got to have a bunch of stuff he hates in hindsight.
>>203888477They Live was a smash hit upon release for two weeks and then all theaters "were told" to remove the film. I'm not making this up. Carpenter, Piper, and Keith David all confirmed this. David even said that they pissed someone off.
>>203888585Ask me how I know you've never created anything or tried to improve.
>>203888585Nah, he's got a point. I remember thinking the exact thing when I saw Christine. It's a fine enough movie but not as graphic as the book. Seems like he's just honest about his own movies' flaws.
>>203888524Fletch is still my favorite movie. I don't care how awful the guy is.
>>203887876to repost everytime this turd is meme'd here, jokertards really need to stfu
>>203886391Okay bros, this is NOT based and redpilled. MAGApedes assemble!!
>>203888613Fletch Lives is a masterpiece that craps all over the original.
>>203887085Carpenter is old as dirt and made several classic movies and pieces of music. He's more than earned the right to say and do whatever he wants.
>>203888645>earned the right to say and do whatever he wantsOh so now you have to "earn" your right to speak your mind?
>>203888628In hindsight, the only good thing about Reagan were the jokes he would tell, and admittedly he had a good sense of humor. But Reaganomics were a fail and actors shouldn't become politicians to begin with.
>>203888585I don't think he's doing it to be self-depricating, since he's jacking himself off to the others he does like.I think they just didn't work out the way he wanted and honestly hates them
>>203888668you can say whatever you wantwill anyone listen or care?
> all reviews marked as Watched 20 Sep 2024Did he write all those reviews in one day?
>>203888334>will probably delete thisSCREENCAP ALL OF IT NOWTHIS MAN IS A NATIONAL TREASURE
>>203888732Seems so. His account was made spontaneously >>203888334I hope he writes more reviews because he seems pretty honest and I agree with most of his takes.
>>203886351what is this, twitter for disgruntled directors?
>>203888732the written ones yes, but there's a lot more movies on his "watched" list
>>203888752It's what Rottentomatoes should be.
>>203888752i think it's just another social media site where you give your shitty opinions on every movie you've ever seen
>>203888422He gave Raimi Man 1 and 2 the same rating. I think he's just a Spider-Man fan who didn't expect to like not-Peter.
>>203888631you have to be joking
>>203886782King doesn't like hom? Automatically based.
>>203886351tldr? whos this dude
>>203888674>actors shouldn't become politicians to begin with
>>203888575lol
>gave Rope a 2 star rating Finally a disappointment, I was finding myself agreeing with him too much.
>>203888829made Friday the 13th
>>203887319>low-class scum defeating the elite, and I figured rockstars represented that to an extent What a boomer
he really is one of the most honest and relatable filmmakers ever
>>203888860Rockstars become popular because they represent that attitude
>>203888791No, not at all. The original Fletch is mildly amusing with a lame payoff, but the sequel is sublime in its parody of basically everything. I saw it at an AMC theatre at its release with my mom and one of my aunts and everyone loved it. The actors in it were amazing too. Have you even seen this flick?>ZULU ZULU>MUTABUDKAHGENEHACKMANKICKYOURASS
>>203888829made The Thing
>>203888829he builds sets for movies, his last name is just a coincidence
>>203888867Exactly. I don't agree with all of his takes but it's refreshing to see a Hollywood person not censor himself or walk on eggshells all the time.
>walked into Warner Bros and brought up the gripping tornado scene from The Wizard of Oz (1939). I told them about how they used a giant 30-foot sock filled with sand to create that tornado. It was a practical effect, no computerized crappola. I said I wanted to use a giant sock if I made Twister. They never called me again.lmaoooo
>>203888906I agree, the tornado effect in The Wizard of Oz still holds up even today.
>>203887828He gave Close Encounters two stars, so it must be him. He never liked it.
>>203888173Marvel Presents George Lucas's Star Wars
>>203888927Hereditary too. I guess this interviewer prompted him to see it >>203888529
>>203886649only Friedkin was this based
>>203888906i'm fucking dying. moar
>>203888888CHECKED AND LMAO
>>203888782>no Spider-Man 3 ratingit's over..
>>203888888
>>203888906>>203888919>>203888919>the tornado effect in The Wizard of Oz still holds up even today.I concur. I just saw it a few days ago on a 4K TV with the Blu-ray (the 4K isn't out yet) and it impressed me so much. >This film was made in 1939Went through my mind and caused some mental fun.
>>203888979The movie is a piece of shit. I know some /tv/ contrarians rate it highly but they fucked up the Venom storyline and it's too crowded to begin with. It's Sony's fault more so than Raimi's though.
>>203888115yep he's a boomer alright
>>203888115>movie doesn't need a sequel>you need to pay rent and it's relatively easy moneyWhat would you have done in this situation?
>>203887009Cronenberg got away with it because Goldblum added enough levity to The Fly to offset the gore.The Thing had zero levity and was super serious throughout; the audience had no release.Horror has the opposite effect of suspension of disbelief: you need to convince the audience every now and then that it's not real else they'll get disturbed.
>>203886597>he's always liked a cheating whore
>>203889048He's right. Should have at least cut out all of the dream sequence
>>203889116Maybe, but I'm glad he likes Terrifier 2. He doesn't like that it's so long.
>>203888349It’s kino
>>203887918I felt the same way about the first Spiderverse movie, and never saw 2. I thought it looked really pretty
they really should have used the animatronics reeeeeeeeeeeeandwhere's the fuckin raw cut he watched tho
Carpenter is a shitty director. He just had a few successes that made him iconic, but overall he's a shitty director. He's only made two watchable movies, Halloween and The Thing. Everything else is shit.
i want to drink with this guy and hear old war stories from horror hollywood
>>203888618nah, get a life. you really think you sound smart when you say this kind of shit, but you just seem like a deluded faggot.
>>203889198post resume
>>203889198get the fuck outta here, he's a great director
>>203888906>>203888919>>203888982I thought you guys were meme-ing me but it actually DOES hold up and is one of the best effects I've seen.https://youtu.be/RQWSh7Db-_E?si=YznLboCFUMDRVX90
>>203888058It's a shame it's one of those films that's a cult classic but has never breached into mainstream. Most people not into horror have never heard of it.
>>203889075I like how the font on "Predators" is near-identical to the font they use for the actual Predator seriesDelightfully devilish
>>203889193they fucked up the ending too. no pods with life form specimens, no alien pilot and the dog and helicopter chasing it suddenly spawn into existence from nowhere at the end. otherwise a decent side story
>>203886351Being a chevy chase movie, it's completely understandable.
>>203888459it's trooncore my friend
>>203889263>that's it! I'm going to start my filmmaking career al lthanks with my crusty cumsocks!! Emmerich is finished!!!!
>>203888529I really hate reviewers who do the whole "It's more than JUST a horror" thing. Patronising little shits.
>>203887652I don't remember this Blue Pill Men scene...
>>203889285i quite liked it when it came out. i guess i'm wrong
>>203888102Always kinda wondered why Daryl Hannah kinda disappeared. Guess she a was Julia Roberts level pain in the arse without the Julia Roberts box office.
>>203889193The animatronics and props looked great tee bee aych, not sure why they didn't use them
>>203889290No, the sequel is trooncore. Or at least troons want it to be, but there's no indication Gwen is trans. She's just an ally.
new thread please autosage
>>203889357it certainly was wayyy cheaper and faster to create and animate CGI than just animate animatronics and old stuff
>>203887708Uwe Boll's account was amazing, shame it was deleted
>>203886890>I took a look at this phonebook of a novel
>>203887708>>203889430post it
>>203889257Never seen it. Never even heard of this movie. Is it any good?
>>203889439In defence of It, the book is essentially a story and its sequel put together.
>>203889418except they DID create all that animatronic shit and the test audiences made fun of it so the studio demanded they just coat over everything with terrible cgi to be more cogent with what irritatingly stupid audiences expect today. it's a fucking tragedy
>>203889459Yeah, it's low budget and made for TV but it's got some strong Dario Argento vibes
Is Cigarette burns the last good thing to come from Carpenter?
>>203889418ugh that sad.regardless i hope there's a practical effects renaissance; CGI will always be uncanny
>>203889470still wouldn't have saved that film
>>203889513Jesus christ, it's like looking at Woody from Toy Story in drag
>>203889257Great shot. Carpenter is truly the greatest director.
>>203889523lmao
>>203889523>>203889513I think the core problem is they replicated 70s makeup in a film where everything else is done to modern standards. Looks completely out of place.
>>203889257I always mix up Adrienne Barbeau & Kate Jackson
>>203886890>That guy is on fucking crack>I took a look at this phonebook of a novel and pondered why the fuck a novel about a killer clown needed to be 1008 pagesLMAOOO
>>203889337What'd you like about it?I kept waiting for the jokes, but they never came; just Chevy being smarmy.
>>203889560..i-it's not just a killer clown, it's actually an evil god-spider from outer space, t-this is not much different from The Thing!
>>203889622Don't forget the turtle
>>203889622How would Carpenter know that? If he sees a killer clown, he sees him as a killer clown. Anything more complicated than that, he doesn't understand.
>>203889317Shit he does kinda look like one of those goobers
>>203889597i just liked the story and characters i guess. i think the reason why it got so much backlash is everyone expecting it to be a comedy. it's not. i think i remember reading chevy chase thought it was going to be his big dramatic break too. huh
These aren't real you retards
>>203889695>>203887121Retard faggot
>>203888888Well deserved digits. For once, not wasted.
>>203888888Good post
>>203887969faggot
>>203889685The film felt tone def. Everything about the production screams comedy (script, cast, sfx/gags, etc.) but it never delivers. It's like the whole film edges on a joke and there's never a payoff (even the ending is unsatisfactory).I've watched it a few times trying to understand the film, but it just makes more sense that Chevy used his star power to muddle the film up and use it as a dramatic vehicle instead of its obviously intended design.Like it's definitely one of those films that checks all the boxes but when you watch it, it sucks on the tier of Modern Problems.
>>203887800It's a pretty timeless movie because the clothes and the setting never really change.Agree it's a better movie than either Star Wars or Alien.
>>203887517dumbass
>>203886890kek
>>203889536
>>203886758Extremely over-hated movie. It's a Dreamcast era Resident Evil clone in movie form, how could you hate it?
>>203888186>but then it becomes another Carpenter "people trapped in building" flickYeah that’s why it’s kino
>>203890078Kek
>>203890085>Dreamcast era Resident Evil cloneBecause Code Veronica SUCKS! SUCKS!!!!!
>>203890155NTA but Code Veronica is literally the best RE. The epitome of the traditional formula that learned from all past mistakes and become the best version it could be. Afterwards RE became an action game series with 4.
>>203889547Just check below the neck and you'll never be wrong.
>the chad John Carpenter unleashed and not giving a fuck VS the virgin 'I have a secret Letterboxd' Edgar Wright
>>203890155
>>203890208Imagine it'll get a remake soon
>>2038902084 is when they finally got the formula right, dummy. no one wants to play as a shopping cart that can never see what's in front of them because fixed camera angles. so glad they dropped the irritating alone in the dark shit
>>203886351What an absolute chad
>>203887476Is there any info on what his ending would have been?
>>203890367See, this is why nobody likes 4babbies, especially after your spergout over the remake.
>>203886351Fucking beautiful.
>>203886355Oh holy shit.
>>203888021What a retarded logic, literal brain rot
>>203886376These are all equally fantastic.
