"Why i think Jerry Bruckheimer is the source of all poop films"

Here is a little info i found on Bruckheimer that proves he is the worst man in Hollywood to ever have anything to do with a film.

Armageddon
Pearl Harbour
Gone In Sixty Seconds
Con Air
Days of Thunder
Flashdance
Dangerous Minds
Coyote Ugly

All of these were box office flops in some form or another. Sure;y Bruckheimer must be sleeping with someone to carry on getting work. Lets just hope that he does not jinx Black Hawk Dawn.

And due to his connections, Bruckheimer is also linked in some form or another to other works of fart such as;

Willow (Starred Warwick Davis, who starred alongside Coolio
(who was in Dangerous Minds)

Being John Malkovich (Is based around two of his stars from
(Con Air-John Cusak and DUH! John Malkovich)

Kalifornia (Directed by Domonic Sena who worked on Gone in
(sixty seconds with Bruckheimer)

And X-files the movie (starred David Duchovny who starred in
(Kalifornia)

Off you trot now. Dogma has been the best of K Smith's film, for the scale and audacity of it. Plus it's very funny. Very very funny.

When you decide to actually WATCH the films, let me know.

How can you say this? granted Bruckheimer's recent films have been crap, but with films like Con Air and The Rock behind his belt, he really is not the source of all poop films.

You sure you watched the right film? Almost Famous is nothing like Wayne's World other than they both feature young blokes trying to break into the music business - a tenuious link as they deal with vaguely similar subject in totally different styles. Almost Famous is a good old comming of age movie, Wayne's World is a comedy that the modern teen gross out flicks owe a small debt to.

John Woo made great films such as Hard Boiled and The Killer. He made an Impact on Hollywood with M:I-2 and Face Off.

Carpenter is responsible for Halloween and Assault on Precinct13.

Copolla gave us THE GODFATHER and APOCOLYPSE NOW

De Palma made Scarface and (COUGH, CHOKE) Mission: Impossible

Dogma- i will give you that
Mallrats and Clerks- Cult Classics


Almost Famous- A great film, if only cos it has a Boogie Nights feel about it. And Vanilla Sky looks great


Blade Runner- Yet another cult classic, Ford at his peak.
Scott also bought us the greats such as Gladiator and Alien

WEll I've not seen films by all of them but of the ones Ive seen;


Kevin Smith - Chasing Amy was great, Clerks and Mall Rats not so and Dogma had a great story but was lost amongst the swearing nearly every other word.


Cameron
> Crowe - Almost Famous - his latest I believe - looks like it so wanted to be the modern Waynes World but is actually over long and tedious with no real surprises.

You wanna know who i do like?

ok;
John Woo
Kevin Smith
Cameron Crowe
Ridley Scott
Francis Ford Copolla
John Carpenter (up until 1990)
Brian De Palma

So if you say Lucas and Spielberg have lost the plot, and Bruckenheimer, then whose films do you like ? Kevin SMith could be good if only he'd lose the swearing fixation.

Well after EP1 that shouldnt be hard....how about title screen then roll to end credits lol :) Joking.... hopefully it will be better, still theres "two towers" to look forward to.

God helps us if that happens!!
what on EARTH was he thinking when he created Jar Jar!!!

"i know lets have an annoying rasta dog/lizard thing on ten kilos of speed and heroine!!"

I heard that by episode 3 things will get "darker" as young skywalker turns to the darkside. So it may be possible that it will not be a film aimed at a younger audience, or it will be the story of how jar jar binks gets married, has children and moves off of the planet alderan to live hapilly ever after, followed up by jar jar babies cartoon.
