Could you get any more pretentious? (no, you could not). I'd ask your favorite director but I'm sure it's some obscure one I probably haven't heard.

[Anonymous No.1127125]

Stanley Kubrick, Werner Herzog, Sergio Leone, Francis Ford Coppola, some my favs

wow, i posted something a while back about wanting to see that movie about the start of facebook, and you started bawwing about fincher in that thread, too. you also implied, as you've done here, that i like family guy. so basically your mind runs on stereotypes. if i recall correctly, you refused to name directors you like in that thread, as well, i guess because you're too self-conscious. basically you have a stick up your ass, but here's your chance to show otherwise...which directors do you like?

Woah calm down, stop getting so angry because I like better films than you. It isn't a case of emperor's new clothes either - you really can't see why Fincher's crap is shit.

Some of us function on a higher cognitive level and can discern things like that, it's just the way things is.

[Anonymous No.1127277]

>>1127261

LOL. Wow, I'm glad you just posted that. I have now copied and pasted it and will post it forever after as the perfect fucking example of what it means to be pretentious. You deride the quality of Fincher's films, yet you still haven't given us (a) reasons why they are so terrible or (b) your list of acceptable film, henceforth to be followed if one wishes to watch "good cinema". Fuck you, you pretentious douche.

Dreyer

[Isabelle Huppert !!lYVA4YXz75M No.1127288]

I'm rather fond of Antonioni and Bertolucci. I also quite like Bergman. More contemporary directors would include Michael Haneke, Peter Greenaway, Kiyoshi Kurosawa.

As for specific movies (not directed by any of the above), There Will Be Blood, Ken Russell's The Devils, In the Loop, Michael Clayton, A Serious Man, and Guy Ritchie's Revolver were all great.

Also, of course, Apocalypse Now.

now bros, don't be hatin on my intelligence. I can't really explain why, I've never done a film degree or anything like that, so I can't break it down into technicalities.

it's like if you ask a mathematician what some polynomial differential wizzwazz means, they'll tell you they can't explain in words - they're functioning at a higher, purely abstract level. but that doesn't mean some philistines can come along and do math - the mathematicians will laugh in their face.

The Devils is one of the FUNNIEST movies i've ever seen. I love ken russel's movies except altered states and that's just because that lead actor makes me want to puke the whole time he's such a pretentious dumbfuck psychedelics nerd who i know in real life and want to strangle the life out of. but The Devils is one of the finest films ever and that bowie-esque exorcist/witch expert whatever fucking love it!

I think we're all quite done with you here. Either you're a troll or someone with a great number of insecurities, mainly an inferiority complex that causes you to criticize people without giving anything of yourself in return. Now kindly fuck off.

Lair of the White Worm: only example of a director deliberately parodying his own work, for the length of an entire feature?

[Anonymous No.1127311]

>>1127307
oh lawd. too true but you know what that was the first film of his that i saw (when i was a little kid ) and I liked it so even if it is a parody i still have this warm spot in my pants for it.

[sage No.1127312]

>>1127306
it's the inferiority complex. it's why, a week ago, he spouted off that same comment about how if didn't hate fincher i must obviously like family guy and love the phrase "epic lulz" (ps, i'm not the guy that mentioned liking fincher in this thread). he's doing that thing where someone backed into a corner starts pretending to be a troll to try and save face.

yet another moron who can't understand subjective taste.

two can play at the shitty psychoanalysis game - stop psychologically projectin' bro, I'm not any of those things and you know it.

the first thing a really insecure person does when they're losing an argument is cry "INSECURE!", "INFERIORITY COMPLEX!" (aka: lol you're inferior haha), "PRETENTIOUS!" when met with intellectual intimidation. cause you're not functioning on the same wavelength as me I must be pretentious. roflmao

so stop getting so desperate to prove me wrong, I have better taste than you, I know it (you probably do too, or are scared of the fact), get over it.

>I have better taste than you, I know it

no, we don't know it, because you haven't listed any directors you like, or why you like them. also, if you don't know how gauche it is to brag about your taste, well, i'm afraid I can't help you with that. as i've said before, you're afraid to name directors you like, so now you're just pretending to be a troll, probably while googling "directors smart people like" in another tab.

I am curious as to how I look like I have inferior tastes to you when you haven't even given your tastes! So, contrary to your belief (apparently), shitty tastes > no taste. Or do you really actually have no tastes at all and only live to contradict everyone else in the world to set yourself apart? Either way you're pathetic. At least I gave something of myself in an attempt to participate. You've done nothing but try to start shit since your first post.

Once again, sage because you suck.

if you think "inferiority complex" is some technical, obscure psychological term, instead of pop psychology short-hand that's known to everyone, then i think that about says it all.

i don't think it's a technical obscure and no, that doesn't say "it all"

sage fella, your reading comprehention is obviously at a pretty low level if you think I'm trolling. That kind of ties in with your terrible grammar and spelling, those things tend to correlate with lower IQs and general intelligence, so I wouldn't really expect you to understand what I'm getting at with my posts.
