I recreate this thread from the old site. Post directors that you dislike. There are ones whose works are considered "great" by some but don't appeal to you for some reason or you think are overrated; there are also directors who are inept at their job and make awful films. Controversial opinions are welcome.
I think these two are overrated. Lars von Tryhard is an edgy kike and so are his movies. Taratino is underwhelming to me, his films are riddled with pointless, shitty humor (or the films are the pointless, humor themselves), typical of underwhelming "American independent cinema".

I can't take half of what you said seriously. Your English is terrible as well and it makes you hard to understand.
>Corman
>good
Okay. I'll bite. 

Masque of the Red Death is technically the best movie he ever made. If you watch a movie like The Court Jester starring Danny Kaye, you will see that he was technically on par with a film of that caliber. He was better tbh but he was generally on par with other directors who were churning out movies back then. Another similar director would be Andre de Toth. Modern equivalents would be Brian Yuzna and Charlie Band particularly with his Puppet Master movies. I like these movies, but I can see the edges of the sets if that makes sense.
If Vincent Price wasn't in that movie, it would likely not be a cult classic and be somewhat neglected in retrospect.

IMO, to be considered a competent director you have to have a near technical mastery of the medium. At the end of the day, this is mostly what directors ultimately do. If you're an auteur on top of that and attuned to formal and philosophical depth, I'd say then that director could be considered a genius. 

I would say then that itt all competent directors are: Trier, Tarantino, Haneke, Fellini, Fincher, Scorcese, Petersen, Spielberg,  Godard, Eastwood, Griffith, Chaplin, Rodriguez.

The TECHNICALLY worst itt are Corman, Jodo, Landis (he's better known for his writing anyways and a good script can transform an otherwise mediocre movie), Anderson, Carpenter, Godard, Zahler 100 percent, Refn, Noe Iskanov, Lanthimos. A lot of these people literally make ugly movies with poor acting. Even if they have cult qualities or other appeals, I cannot honestly say that they are good directors.
An adjacent example would be outsider art. Some people find the art deeply interesting, yet often the art itself is not technically well done.

>to be considered a competent director you have to have a near technical mastery of the medium
I think i get what you mean, you are seeing the director as the technical leader rather than the creator. It is a logical take on it and i respect it, but as you might've deduced most anons here see the director under the doctrine of the auteur, for better or for worse.
Also i do have to say many directors are neophytes and downright retards with some technical aspects, like Kar-Wai Wong with audio or Tarantino with lightning. In your definition i would like to see Tarantino trying to something with a low budget, he always brute forced his movies with actors, licensed soundtracks and set pieces lifted from other movies.
Corman managed to do competent projects in different genres, from old school noir (Machine Gun Kelly), drama (Intruder aka Rockwell Cpt. Kirk), horror (The Fall of the House of Usher) and sci-fi (X-Ray Eyes). Note my use of "competent", as in good enough for general release and with enough qualities to be remembered, like Machine Gun Kelly's aping 30's cinematography and using overloaded blank rounds.

>I cannot honestly say that they are good directors
Under your definition i would agree with the exception of Corman who worked with shoestrings, that is justifiable when he used a 1/10 of what others spent in the same market.
>Geniuses
I would add Griffith due to being the pioneer in several regards and Scorcese when he feels like it but it seems he made many projects for money rather than personal urges.
>I am not speaking on the merits of individual films 
You mean judging on overall careers? that makes them harder to judge but i can understand

Okay, well he already did. Numerous times.

No I am not. Read again dipshit.
>at the end of the day you are a pedestrian element fit for working on nigger productions at Starz TV rather than function as a creator
And you are so dumb you don't even understand what I am saying.
This conclusion on me doesn't even make any sense. Because I am essentially laying out what constitutes a COMPETENT director, you somehow are judging me as a crew person rather than an auteur. What the fuck is going on in your retarded fucking head guy? It sounds like you have serious psychological problems. I never even claimed to be a director or anything or want to be one? This is weird projecting.

The one thing I really don't miss about imageboards is the disproportionate amount of mentally ill and retarded people on them. I look forward to never speaking to your illiterate, dumbshit ass again.
Anyone with a sound mind would understand what I am saying. 

The fact that one of your takeaways is that I am rejecting or neglecting narrative demonstrates that you barely even read my other posts or you genuinely are borderline illiterate in English, which is evident.

He's always been insane. He was a terrible drug addict in his formative years. I thought the movie was interesting but I couldn't call it good or anything like that. I really enjoyed this older film called Los Bastardos, which strangely reminded me of Korine's movies, but I thought that film was significantly better. 
This seemed like a very strong year for film in general. 
I frequented the theater this year and saw some pretty bad movies that were fun for a night out.

My current tastes (American classics and ultra-low budget trash) don't really seem like appropriate discussion material. And yeah, I don't have much to say. 

It's fine lurking and just reading other posts every now and then. 
In terms of other sites, no I don't really visit any except a couple private trackers, IMDB and I still sometimes scroll through Letterboxd lists even though I don't have an account.

You should keep pursuing other companies. The world always needs more archivists. It's a bummer when I watch a great film that hasn't seen any other release other than some shit VHS.

Why shouldn’t it be involved in film? Your argument about painting and photography is barely applicable. Many artists take photos of their subjects and then copy the photos to their painting. AI is simply another tool that can be used or not used depending on how the filmmaker is making their movie. Anyone who believes in continually defining what movies actually are won’t outright dismiss a tool that’s in its infancy. And no, jackasses making AI slop and calling it a movie (like some of what’s been posted in this thread) is not at all what I am justifying or defending.

I don't think AI is sophisticated enough to pull this off yet—generating 43 min. of lost footage for The Magnificent Ambersons. I suppose it's a marketing stunt for "Showrunner".

https://www.indiewire.com/news/breaking-news/lost-ending-orson-welles-magnificent-ambersons-ai-remake-1235148945/

The studios always get blamed for mangling this film but most of Orson's films had post-production problems. Clearly he put a low priority on properly finishing a project.

I'm skeptical that the original footage would have improved Ambersons very much, beyond the early single-take shot that was chopped down.

>Ethics
Ever changing, particularly in these volatile times, so discussing them can be futile.
Also it's a tool, ambiguous in its results but a tool all the same, if we are going to discuss ethics we should start with the ones using it rather than the full range the developers give us. 
I haven't even touched the video editing software but i've met people who use AI and they hail it as God's gift mainly because they can replace tons of shit that would otherwise cost unholy amounts of money for independent creators outside the big money cities and regions.
In theory we could automate something around 5 to 10 minutes for free if we know how to edit and pull out a good script.

I’ve grown too cynical over the years to take this kind of news as anything but worthless. Either the academy was interested in changing things up (for renewed interest, credibility, and optics in general, appealing to “alternative” audiences), Blender had some sort of in with this whole ordeal and it somehow amounts to easy promotion, and/or the director is another wet towel who will be directing shit in a few years for big studios (most, if not all,  directors start low budget). The animation itself is ugly in general although the movements are interesting. Regardless, winning an academy award and attending that event sounds like a nightmare and it would be hard to respect the director or anyone involved or to take them seriously as artists. I can’t imagine this movie being good.

I watched Krabat from Karel Zeman recently. I'm more into his work that combines animation with live-action filming and trick photography, but I think it's worth a watch. I'd like to watch his other feature-length cartoons from the final phase of his career, but I wish his work was more readily available. The guy was brilliant. He gets compared to Ray Harryhausen, but I think that his work was more versatile and artistically interesting despite his stop-motion skills not being on Harryhausen's level. He had a much bigger bag of tricks to incorporate into his work. Even a cutout animation film like Krabat has some interesting effects techniques other than raw cutout animation.

>actor embodies a man who feels an amatory attraction towards a 15 year old nubile nymphet
How did he do it bros? How was the actor able to overcome nature and all known standards of justice and decency, all for the sake of art?

I, for one, cannot imagine having "carnal vicinity" with a woman of less than 35 years of age. My own mother gave birth to me at the barely pubescent age of 44; I haven't ever and will never touch a woman younger than that.

But I am, dear bros, neither an Actor nor a Hero.

Should one give his life for Art? Would you?
