ridley is another shakey cam director? i dont remember part 1 being like that.
ehhh PKD will roll over in his grave if they post matrix/2000-ize a blade runner sequel.
I'd like to not see that, and instead see more PKD books made into movies. Unfortunately, alot of his stories have already been blatantly ripped off and made into other movies.
Thirteenth floor and The Truman Show are two examples of blatant ripoffs of PKD books. Matrix was even slightly a ripoff of his though really William Gibson first invented the "matrix" and wrote about it in the way it was portrayed in the movie more than PKD did.
The only movie of his I have not seen is Paycheck and thats only cuz it has that Collin Farrel in it, why oh why did they have to cast him in that movie. Why did people have to make him the "it" guy during that period. Why did he have to be Alexander? He was like Jude Law before Jude Law was Jude Law.
Cannot imagine how they would not this up.
ridley is all about the shaky cam - it wasn't something he started out doing, but when it got going he couldn't stop. both scott brothers are horrible about it.
Hollywood is so desperate for new ideas that they'd reboot an 80s movie to make a sequel. ing lame.
Not interested.
Tony Scott isn't so much about the handheld cam, as he is about the stylized cuts and edits; kinda like he has an LSD-head for an editor. However, he does use it waaaaay to much (Domino was a piece of crap, directorally).
I'm trying to think of movies that Ridley Scott has over-used the handheld cam...and I'm coming up blank. I know he has a tendency to use it in up-close shots, to come up with a grainy image (see KOH during the attack on Jerusalem and the first attack sequence in Gladiator). However, he typically only uses it for maximum effect during certain sequences. Aside from that, his action sequences and generally editing is stylish, but not over-the-top. He's certainly much better than guys like Paul Greengrass or Michael Bay.
This is getting to be lame, Hollywood. Do you see musicians making covers of their own albums 20+ years later just to get new fans who are into screamo and MTV bull like Fall Out Boy to buy their albums?
I bet we're not far away from that either. Human intelligence is falling so rapidly that people would go for that.
That's what producers are for.
Nope, but I am always surprised by the amount of modern artists who sample from older musicians.
Ridley's trademark isn't shakey-cam, it's water and some sort of oscillating blade or blades (fans, windmills, etc.). Anytime you re-watch one of his movies, look for those in combination.
true, i just checked out imdb. it's just his name appearing as producer in all these shaky cam movies.
Yup, leave it alone. Blade Runnerirector's Cut was a masterpiece, and ended perfectly.
Please don't with your best work, Ridley!
Ridley said in a recent interview that he was always pissed that he wasn't allowed to film and edit the movie the way he intended to.Yup, leave it alone. Blade Runner
Please don't with your best work, Ridley!
I think that he just would like to continue with his vision.
But, if it doesn't have Harrsion Ford and Rutger Hauer in there . . . I don't want to see it.
Yes it was.
Tony Scott has almost ruined more good movies than any other director I can think of. Domino had enough going for it that I liked it, but the direction is awful. And I will never forgive Tony Scott for his directing job on True Romance -- Tarantino's ing genius script plays like a bad episode of "Miama Vice" in parts.
maybe he wants to go back and put walkie talkies in all of their hands.
ing Steven Spielberg...
Thou shall not speaketh evil of the god that is Spielberg.
ing Steven Spielberg...
(but the walkie talkie thing was bull )
Spielberg is an overrated hack.
Yeah, I said it. And I meant it.
i'll second that. he hasn't made a great movie in ages.
Spielberg is good at what he does : solid, entertaining movies but ain't no genius.
You want an entertaining movie out of a script, give it to Steve.
You want a masterpiece, too late Stanley is gone.
I think it was Terry Gilliam who had the best description of Spielberg: a director of great scenes, but no longer a director of great movies. Something to that effect.
As for a Blade runner sequel... Well, the sentence itself seems weird.
It's just like Kubrick's 2001, you can't make sequels out of it, they're one of a kind movies.
