Dec 5, 2022·1 replyTheReal212I think a lot of the big name directors recently getting praise today are frauds tbh (Lanthimos, Ostlund, Chloe Zhao, Ducournau, Sean Baker, Sarnoski, Larrain, Lowery, Muschietti, Russos, etc.)
Honestly, I blame today's audiences the most. They're the ones enabling this s***
Lanthimos and Ducournau? You are off a bean

Dec 5, 2022FellaI don’t like a lot of these directors either but I dislike even more the dismissiveness of referring to them as “hack frauds”. I’ll root for filmmakers I don’t resonate with to eventually make something that does.

Russo’s are the only ones I’d say it’s appropriate to throw those terms at. They actively are anti cinema.
well yeah

I feel its really rare a filmmaker I don't like makes a movie that resonates for me. I guess Richard Linklater did that for me with School of Rock, but yeah

No it doesn’t, it’s my list. That being said Seven Samurai just misses. I don’t care if it’s an obvious pick, it’s perfect.

I will say that I found The Killing of A Sacred Deer to be irritating. Like the kind of film that if Shyamalan made—all of its decisions would be framed as inept failures rather than interesting idiosyncrasies. Then again maybe this makes me a hypocrite because I’d probably be defending the film if it was done by Shyamalan. I don’t dislike it, just the realization of that rubbed me the wrong way. Shyamalan would have naturally done it differently though since he’s not always bathing his films in a droning self seriousness.
