watched streets of fire and feel like it would've been better if the lead was just a little less dumb; he isn't nearly charismatic enough to get away with sounding like he's reading off cue cards. however i am surprised i've never heard nowhere fast before because its such a good song

that movie blew my loving mind. there must have been so much money and cocaine behind it. feels like one of those unchecked ideas that end up destroying entire studios.

also Rick Moranis getting title credit over Dafoe lol

speaking of Dafoe my wife introduced me to To Live and Die in LA and the car chase was one of the best i've seen

like Friedkin's work in Sorceror its extra impressive knowing they couldn't fake it back then

the car barely maintaining control in that 2nd shot blew my mind

same lead from Manhunter so we ended up having a Friedkin/Mann double bill

No chance unfortunately
he's wrapping up 3 now, has like a quarter of 4 filmed, and already has everyone signed on for 5 so that's probably the rest of his life to finish all that

and it may be slop but I guess at least he's giving character actors like David Thewlis, Stephen Lang, Edie Falco, and CCH Pounder steady paychecks

It's basically like Adam Sandler's movie scam to pay his friends except he's doing it with a blockbuster series
part of me admires that

Adam Sandler's "movie scam" is consistently profitable for producers so is it really a scam?

He's not Gary Oldman undergoing full prosthetic transformations or anything but what else do you call a guy who consistently shows up in the like 5 and down in billing order who's always giving a crazy good performance, be it chilling or eccentric or

What you people got wrong is that it isn't about avoiding movies made by divorced people, it's about people embodying being divorced. You could never have gotten married or is actually still married and still direct divorced-ly. Exhibit 1: The Wickerman. A movie that ends with Nick Cage punching a series of women before being trapped and eaten by bees. Spoilers for the horrible movie The Wickerman.

I think maybe the trick is you have to be weird as gently caress before hand
if you're weird at the start you come out the other side fine

if you're a straight shooter crowd pleaser like Spielberg/Lucas you end up with a "Temple of Doom" and I don't care how many people lie that it's their favorite one, it's basically unwatchable apart from the mine cart chase

Divorced directors can do their thing, but their ex has to sign off on every decision and be credited as a producer.

Hmm, no. Little nazi guy with his coat hanger was the best Indiana Jones villain

My favorite thing about Raiders is that its completely unnecessary for Jones to be in the movie. His actions have no real effect on the final outcome. Its great and I love it. More movies need superfluous heroes.
