ridley scott poll

this one is matchstick men eazy

tempted to go with kingdom of heaven on this and i don't even know why

cause all things considered kingdom of heaven is a pretty dope movie, especially the director's cut!!

Ridley Scott is max's cinematic Obama

definitely

whatever that means

(both excelled at making TV commercials)

have not seen directors cut!

so much ridiculous garbage in KoH but yeah it's really beautiful in parts.

An actual good zing from Morbius A++++

i think what attracts me in KoH is the irritation of watching a movie simultaneously want to dig into the "reality" of people's motivations in the crusades, but shy away from how completely alien and insane it was -- the good guys all turn out, wouldn't you know, to be modern democratic liberals

It has several distinct weaknesses, but I adored 'The Duellists' as a kid.

i seem to remember liking white squall

Went for Someone to Watch Over Me. Haven't actually seen it in about a decade or more, but I dug it. It's like an un-flashy, non-futuristic and stripped down sequel to Blade Runner (I know stylistically Black Rain is more akin to BR, but the thing about Black Rain is, it's a bit shit + Tom Beranger >>> Michael Douglas).

does someone yell "white squall!!" at some point

xp

i remember liking gladiator before it got crazy overrated. the classics nerds i knew in college were all excited about period detail.

i don't i've seen any of these after black hawk down.

white squall is pretty good as i recall

Once you cut out Blade Runner and Alien, Tony starts looking like the talent in that family.

u crazy bro but wv

Domino, Man on Fire, that time thing with Denzel, Enemy of the State, Crimson Tide >>>>>>>>> all of these

I've never seen True Romance or Top Gun, but they're probably superior as well.

Y'all would seriously rather watch Gladiator than Man on Fire?

i'd rather not watch either of those shitty films but gladiator is better

Domino, Man on Fire, that time thing with Denzel, Enemy of the State, Crimson Tide >>>>>>>>> all of these

no offense but you are fucking retarded

like i can understand getting all challopsy about tony scott who imo is underrated but to do so without ever having seen his two best movies is like, commit yourself to a mental institution because you have some kind of disorder

no offense obviously

man on fire and domino are practically unwatchable

Domino is a little too cross processed and a little too Keira Knightley.

Man on Fire is the awesome.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

^^ that one

Black Hawk Down, pretty far above most of the others.

Duellists. That is one pretty movie.

word on that. 90s-00s ridley is a freakin' embarrassment.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Who voted A Good Year?

slept on: Someone To Watch Over Me.

Just fpd a guy i like who doesnt post here anymore because fuck leaving the right answer offve polls u fascist

Just watched the Martian. Not bad (not great) - easily the best thing he's made in 25 years.

It's funny how few good films he's directed.

is it? I've only seen 5 cuz obv he's hysterically overrated.

have a soft spot for The Counselor

https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/the-counselor

I had an idea that in toto his career was impressive.

I still haven't watched The Counselor or Someone to Watch Over Me.

make 2 fanboy warhorses early on and you're set

Alien bored and disgusted me in high school (but it's FEMINIST lol)

said it ages ago, the longer his career goes on, the less impressive it looks. and i say that as somebody who usually appreciates empty stylishness.

Scott’s explanation for the horrible box office performance? Apathetic millennials.

“I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today (are) the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cellphones. The millennian, (who) do not ever want to be taught anything unless you told it on the cellphone,” Scott said.
