Ridley Scott was never good.He's literally senile.

>>220099673>>220099673He looks like Walter White, but with hair?
>>220099673You misspelled James Cameron
>>220099673He's an incredible technical director and can manage a set and actors.He doesn't have a creative bone in his body, however.
>>220100816So good for commercials and nothing else
>>220099673Ridley is actually a very unique director He did his first feature film when he was 40Spielberg directed Jaws at 27 and that wasn't even his first feature film all the guys from that generation of filmmakers did their first feature film in their 20s
Blade Runner is a legit masterpiece. Alien is almost a masterpiece, but the creature effects bring it down a bit. The two films together comprise his peak, his flourishing period.After that, Ridley seemed to work as a gun-for-hire shooting any old script the studio tossed him. He brought his visual style with him, but that wasn't enough to save those films. I watched Black Rain because some anons on /tv/ were hyping it, and it was the typical bad Ridley film. A strong visual style, but with a shitty script that unfolded like a checklist of American cop movie cliches.
>>220100826Give him a good script and he can make it a good movie. He will not elevate it past what's on the page though. In fact, if the producers don't keep him in check he will try to make it worse with retarded suggestions and ideas.
>>220099673*Martin Scorsese
>>220099673The wrong Scott jumped off a bridge.
>>220099673You misspelled Martin Scorsese
>>220099673His last good film was The Counselor Unrated

>>220099673You misspelled Michael Bay
>>220102453Michael Bay is overhated and underrated.
The biggest flaw Ridley made with Alien is that he never resolved the bonus situation.The movie starts, and in one of the very first scenes, we hear about issues with the bonus situation, so you know it must have been important. It had me curious right off the bat, and scene after scene came, but they never discussed the bonus situation. I figured that when Kane was in his coma, Scott would have taken that opportunity to finally discuss the bonus situation, but the next thing you know, we get the chestburster scene, and the alien arrives, which was cool and all, but I couldn't help thinking to myself "what about the g'damn bonus situation!?".Then, one by one, the alien starts killing the crew, and it was at this point that I figured Scott wasn't even going to address the bonus situation, which was fucked up, but I held out and figured that Ridley wouldn't let such an obviously important plot device go unresolved. But no. He did.When we finally lose Parker and Lambert, I knew we'd never have the answer. The ending was cool with the "lucky star" shit and the ejection from the shuttle, but all I could think about was how I would be left forever wondering about the bonus situation, and why it never got resolved.I hate Ridley Scott for that to this day.
>>220100816>>220100952Completely correct.
>>220102786Do you think a company like weyland-yutani would pay out a bonus to an employee ? (Even if they promised it)
I really enjoy Body Of Lies, I thought it was a perfect middle eastern spy film, the atmosphere is incredible and the script isn't so bad either.
>>220103230Nah, they were corpo Jews imo. No way they'd pay out.
