Yeah, so, I'm hitting the trail, y'all. To those with whom I had really engaging, fun conversations, many thanks (hit me up via PM if you wanna stay in touch).

Uh, this would be the Vincent Gallo who's on record as making a whole bunch of unappealing comments about blacks and Jews, yes? Not what I'd call "coolest", let alone self-deprecating or inspiring. And, post- Brown Bunny , I'm sure we'd all prefer not to think about him fucking. He's often misquote...

Most directors listed here purely from idolising their film making, but hanging around with them -- hearing and reading their interviews - -would be just excruciating. Their vacuum of personality boring. How about some with a force of personality. Guys who have a real human capacity: film making, f...

The Young Poisoner's Handbook, Curdled, A Shock to the System, After Hours, Vampire's Kiss , Office Killer, I Love You Philip Morris and Chopper would all fit your bill, I reckon. :lol: :lol: You think so?

I do not want, or need, filmmakers who condescend to me, who assume that if they toss in a moment or a line or a character that I recognize, I'll be so damned grateful that I'll be willing to overlook their lack of effort elsewhere. If I wish to watch the aforementioned S...

To be fair, both posters quite liked or even loved the 2009 Star Trek. -Vader Which is ridiculous, considering how this time round you get even more fan service. There's this whole layer that goes side by side with another Star Trek classic and I was astonished how well they pulled it off, it made ...

Memo to Damon Lindelof: If you're going to crib or riff off a classic, robust film with iconography and key moments, make damn sure the film you're making hits roughly the same mark. I finally realised that I was a Trekkie while watching STID, purely due to the amount of times I was shaking my head...

Quite interesting:
