just seeing that antichrist (lars von trier) is on film 4 this evening got me starting this thread.

i have a major reaction (not in a good way) to any film made by either lars von trier and m night shyamalan.

i seriously would rather stick red hot needles in my eyes than ever sit through any (i mean ANY) film they have done or ever will do 😡

what about you?

Michael Bay.

Plot twist: He loves them really.

…and he’s really dead.

Michael Bay +1

Tarantino.

Michael Bay +2, also John Woo.

I struggle with JJ Abrams sometimes, despite the colossal nerd-fest his films leave me cold and underwhelmed, plus he needs to deal with the lens-flare obsession.

+3 for Bay.

Most other directors tend have their fair share of good and bad, but Bay consistently churns out utterly offensive and awful 4 hour long bore fests.

Uwe Boll and to a slightly lesser extent Paul WS Anderson for their countless utterly shit efforts at making films from video games.

Always worth a watch…

Michael Bay. Again.

I’m not actually a fan of Peter Jackson, maybe because his films get so much hype

Peter Jackson +1. He doesn’t do people very well.

Guy Ritchie. Superficial geezer bollocks.

Wes Anderson, Bernardo Bertolucci, Micael Bay, Paul Verhoeven and Quentin Tarantino although Tarantino is on the list because he just seems like a dick rather than for the quality of his work which I quite like.

Not watched a Guy Ritchie film because he’s on the assumed crap list.

And that’s the Director’s fault? He directs films with big themes, because he can carry them off. Those films, by their very nature, are going to get hype, because they are very expensive to make, and they need to make a profit.
Seems to me that’s a daft reason to dislike a director, instead of an obvious one, like he makes shitty or offensive films.

Like music, I wouldn’t discount anyone wholesale til I’d given them a chance (unless it was Robbie Williams).
Even how much I hated the latest Transformers, I still liked the first one.
Wouldn’t spend my time with the Lord of the Rings films, but King Kong was ok.
So: none.

George Lucas. Get over it mate. Seven shit films.

Woody Allen.

Ken loach, can’t take that much reality in reality, that’s why alcohol exists!

Rocco Siffredi.

Paul Greengrass. Sick to death of wobbly cameras and feeling sick after watching any of his films.

Michael Winterbottom. If you want to make a pornfilm, just flipping make a pornfilm. Don’t make a really boring shitty porrly made excuse for a film with bits of sex in it, and try to dress it up as ‘art’.

Film directors. NO BLOODY APOSTROPHE!

Film Director’s a ****.
