On Ridley Scott >Ridley Scott has, for some odd reason, received accolades that far outpace his actual accomplishments. He’s made one entertaining film, Gladiator, and a host of second rate films masquerading as masterpieces. Scott is a key player in the rise of the infernal shaky-cam, which is not only biologically inaccurate (the human eye adjusts for bodily movements), but incredibly annoying. For that alone, he should be exiled to a land without cameras.
On Michael Mann >All style, no substance.
On David Lean >Everything Lean made is too long by at least half an hour. I know it’s mortal sin to suggest that Laurence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago, The Bridge on the River Kwai, and Ryan’s Daughter are anything less than masterpieces, but … they’re all less than masterpieces.
On Darren Aronofsky >Aronofsky is a talentless dud who has bamboozled his way into Hollywood upper echelon. Every film he’s ever made is a disaster. Pi is a jumble of nonsense that starts nowhere and goes nowhere. It may be the worst film ever made. Watching it made me want to rip out my own retinas, then replace them through surgery, then rip them out again. Of late, Aronofsky has been spicing up his chaotic, disordered crap with explicit lesbian sex scenes, a stylistic trait he apparently cribbed from David Lynch. Not one of his films has been a major commercial success. Yet somehow, someone keeps giving him money. It’s enough to make one question the existence of a beneficent God.
On Mike Nichols >No. Just no. The Graduate is contemptible and snort-worthy spoiled 1960s-child angst. The ending of that movie alone makes it unworthy of human viewing. All future directors take note: having your main characters staring blankly into nothingness is not an ending. It is a cop out. Nichols’ directorial style is ordinary and he picks bland material. And he was an icon for the Baby Boomers. If that’s not a sign of their mental disturbance, I don’t know what is.
On David Lynch >Pure and absolute suckage, with the exception of The Elephant Man. Lynch is one of those annoyingly “deep” directors we’re all supposed to puzzle over. Forget it. There’s nothing worth puzzling. He’s as empty as they come, and he makes up for it with graphic sex scenes, just like his imitator, Aranofsky.
On Tarantino >He is a gifted high school child given a camera for his birthday, and entranced with his knowledge of cinema. Which means, in simple terms, he doesn’t know how to tell a story. Sometimes Tarantino’s films actually capture a struggling thought and bear it triumphantly a prisoner … until the idea dies of servitude and overwork.
On Woody Allen >He’s pretentious and unbearable. His movies are like nails screeching on a chalkboard, only with less humor. He is as nerdy as Peter Orszag, but he acts out his fantasies and illuminates his insecurities in film and expects us all to watch. It’s okay for a director to be self-centered – Orson Welles was famously self-centered. But you actually have to be an interesting person in order to spend that much time focusing on yourself. Allen isn’t.
On Scorsese >His films are entirely devoid of anything resembling likable characters. They are cold and calculating and ruthless – and boring. Taxi Driver is perhaps the most overrated film in Hollywood history — dreary, grungy, and subzero. Scorsese has never seen a main character he liked, a villain he hated, or a pair of editing scissors.
On Hitchcock >He never made a great film. He was the Stephen King of the silver screen: he made films with great premises, but he never knew where to go from there. The psychoanalysis at the end of Psycho is laughable. If you want to see good Hitchcock, rent Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Restricted to the one hour medium, he’s at his best. Left to his own devices, he’s slightly better than mediocre.
>>Pure and absolute suckage, with the exception of The Elephant Man. Lynch is one of those annoyingly “deep” directors we’re all supposed to puzzle over. Forget it. There’s nothing worth puzzling.

Yes, it truly is a great mystery Benji. Shalom!

Ridley Scott's movies are generally ignored by critics, audiences and award shows alike. Dunno why he's being called overrated here.
Ayden Powell
cringy prose, cringy content he is a literal fascist, all counter-culture reeks of degeneracy to him; he'd like arno breker style idyllic pastoral sketches (but with an ethnically diverse crowd), but settles for capeshit in the meantime

To be fair, Paul Thomas Anderson is a goy and keeps getting funding despite all his movies being flops

He's never spoken a word of truth except when he espouses widely know principles. He waffles more than a house of pancakes. Sewing division wherever he goes by taking on controversial issues from a slightly left position then plays the common sense unity card to reel in the suckers.
Then... he'll hold a speaking event at a popular liberal college pre arranged by the campus dean. The campus dean makes sure all the leftist groups on campus boycott the event and the liberal media places 'lil Shapiro on a pedestal by carrying the destruction that occurred at the event on the evening news.
Ann Coulter plays the same card. She dated a Rothschild.
who is this guy? i've seen his picture posted a few times, why should i care what he thinks?

unsurprising that he can't recognize sincerity or soul since he's a arrogant, closed off, bitter jew
A jewish conservative radio host who essentially embodies the "trigger the libs, own the libs" milquetoast right attitude that's fairly mainstream right now. The far right hates him because he's a zionist stooge who only supported America over Israel when challenged by a mexican child. The left hates him because he vocally opposes trannies and shuts them down with his "facts and logic" approach, which is particularly infuriating to the feel-driven left.

Allen isn’t. this is true, I like his movies but he wants to force this persona of him being a weak and misunderstood geek that ends up being nauseating because of how strong it is
>On Michael Mann >>All style, no substance. He does have a few films where he focuses more on stylistic choices but that IS the substance. I don’t like that saying at all, there’s nothing wrong with aestheticism. Tokyo Drifter has a shitty plot but the visual style more than makes up for it. So many people forget that film is a visual art form, and not just theatre with a camera
Nathan Sullivan
>no Kubrick what did he mean by this
Henry Ortiz
I didn’t make it clear enough, I’m not saying Mann directed Tokyo Drifter, that’s just a good example of an aesthetic-focused film. I know only autists like Shapiro so I thought I’d point that out in case they get confused

he liked star wars rise of skywalker so probably jj abrams

Shapiro? Fascist? Now I like him. I saw and listened to tons of his stuff and found him to be along the same lines as a "former" trotskyite neocon but this one post by you, the most intelligent man alive, has opened my eyes!

>On Scorcese: .... or editing scissors This cuts right to the bone.
>Hitchock: Stephen King of the Silver Screen Bingo.
>On Ridley Scott Trash take. Scott is England's Von Trier (from the technical prowess standpoint), but with the 'nation of shopkeepers' traits Napoleon bemoaned (somewhat philistine, pragmatic to a fault). Not the best with original vision at all, but more capable hands you could not ask better for to execute a great script.
Liam Kelly
TL;DR
Ben Shapiro is an irrelevant, uncultured fucking jew.
I usually have a reaction of visceral disgust when it comes to Shapiro, however it's hard to disagree with anything here. That doesn't mean I'm not entertained by the work of these directors.

So, you have no convictions, ethical viewpoints, or ideas beyond what you're told. Children are centrist. The bitch that never knows what restaurant to go to but doesn't want what anybody suggests is centrist. It's the weakest type to be.
