Knockknock was great

What? Well, it’s obvious now that we have different tastes in movies.

For me it was a terrible fiasco, is as entertaining as harmless and as harmless as forgettable. I think he should have stayed with what is supposedly his specialty, rather than attempting a conventional thriller as it was Knock Knock, where all I found are scenes boring, repetitive and inoffensive, a stagnant argument and only a succession of ridiculous behavior of all the characters.

Knockknock was great, thanks to his wife stripping naked.
Hostel, Cabinfever ....he has great taste in women.
His women are always better looking.

It seems that the only thing you care in those movies is the number of women and how hot they were and that’s all. : )

His gore scenes are more realstic, not cheap effects like Nekromantik or Mike films.

Nekromantik is considered a cult movie, not just said by me, and keep in mind that it was made in the 80s. Now you say that the effects of Eli Roth’s films are much more realistic and not cheap as those like Nekromantik. Hmmmm a couple of previous post you said….

” that last scene, is the sickest shit i experienced.”

You see? It provoked a strong effect on you, not just on you, you can find even today many people who still disturbed when they see scenes from a movie like Nekromantik, many of them may need to look away, that’s is how real they are. There are not many current movies that can provoke that feeling. I wonder now which are the most realistic.

Are you really trying to say that high production values and good-looking people are a VALID substitute for quality? That’s shallow, man.

Are you really trying to say that high production values and good-looking people are a VALID substitute for quality? That’s shallow, man.

Just one example,

Content creation
Having detailed knowledge of Netflix subscribers allowed the company take the next step of creating content. The data collected by Netflix indicated there was a strong interest for a remake of the BBC miniseries ‘House of Cards’. These viewers also enjoyed movies by Kevin Spacey or those directed by David Fincher. Now add a $100 million commitment, and you get two seasons.

Next steps
Online delivery of the video allows Netflix to log every event. Every time the viewer presses play, pause or repeat. With hundreds of millions of events, Netflix could create a playbook on how to create TV shows. When to show an explosion, when to show a sex scene, or even when to have a product placement.
Netflix is even capturing screenshots to capture characteristics such as color and scenery, and how well the audience responds to such imagery. These details could effectively govern the creative direction, on what’s being shown when. However, with so many details determined by algorithms, can it really still be described as a ‘creative direction’?

http://dataconomy.com/netflix-creating-tv-shows-big-data/

My bro , those two things ARE quality. Smile
Not a substitute, but basic ingredients for presentation.
Thats why hit TV shows work with these, not to mention shoehorned movie sex scenes in general.
Charlotte in Nymphomaniac was not good despite her porno acting, she has bad body, and if low budget snuff , foundfootage, or porn stuff like that matters then there is plenty of deviant stuff online that could serve as art or quality.
There was a reason i suggested Childofgod , which ain’t less twisted but that execution and acting is TheRoad level.
And for EliRoth, Tarantino’s and Stephenking’s testimonials are enough.
From production i dont mean just money, there is some neat indie stuff like ItFollows but even that use killer soundtrack, cinematography and better looking female lead than nympho actress.

Honestly I must admit that I have trouble trying to understand what you are trying to say with most of your post. We’re talking about movies and now you add other ingredients to the table apparently trying to explain what “quality” is and how it is directly related to the physical beauty of women. What has to do with what we were talking about? I do not know.

Let’s see:

-Not the only thing but redeeming qualities of film

¿Redeeming quality? What has to do the “quality” of a movie with the fact that women in it are more or less beautiful? So let me see if I understand…. a movie is “less bad” than another movie simply because it has most beautiful women?

yes opposite gender and glamor is MAJOR hook in any medium. Sex scenes, black people, lgbt themes etc are major metrics in
consumer analytics in entertainment including games.

So?

Your fav actress is Charlotte Gainsbourg, now her porn scenes would ave been less offensive if she had looked like,Barbara Nedeljáková,Lorenza Izzo or Ana de Armas.

You speak of the scenes of the movie Nymphomaniac I guess. Offensives? Why? Because you don’t find her attractive? The intention was to play a nymphomaniac character cruel and ruthless at times, if you find her more or less attractive is a personal matter of yours, the film may have been offensive by the way in which the character was represented and the situations she faced in her life, but is not related to how beautiful or not she was.

PS: For me she is beautiful.

beauty can redeem bad films…

That’s a personal opinion of yours, not an indisputable truth. Also you talk as if there were a universal concept of what “beauty” is that can be applied to everyone equally. Beauty can redeem bad movies... completely disagree.

-Realistic in cinema production sense, the corpse looked like bad prop, it was sick because of perverse mind at display, not the production quality. The cheap camera,cinematography of snuff homemade films doesnt make them good cinema by default, its just a man with super low budget trying to sell shit just on shock value.

You said it before, the scene shocked you, and nothing you shocked more than something you feel you can be real, when your skin crawls at feel that this can happen, that can be real, so it is with many movies like that, whether they have been made with millions of dollars or with only a handful of coins. Realism has nothing to do with how much money you have or not on the table.

The cheap camera,cinematography of snuff homemade films doesnt make them good cinema by default,

Nor makes them bad by default either.

In his 2004 Premiere Magazine interview for Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino called Cabin Fever his favorite new film and Roth “the future of horror.”.

And? That is Quentin’s opinion. Also.. Eli Roth became into the new “future of horror” in those more than ten years that have passed since that interview?? Does not seems that’s what happened.

Yeah you are right glamour and Hollywood are not synonymous.
Women should not destroy their faces with botox and implants.
It doesnt matter how attractive a female looks.
Charlotte could play Lucy or Wonderwoman, we dont need Galgadot or Scarlett.
Charlotte can draw more crowd than Sharonstone or Salmahayek too.
And Dwyanejhonson is amazing actor, gets work because of his acting chops, his figure doesn’t add anything to films.
We also dont need cinematography, just raw acting skills and a camera.

Cinema was all about acting, we also dont need casting couch.

And? That is Quentin’s opinion. Also.. Eli Roth became into the new “future of horror” in those more than ten years that have passed since that interview?? Does not seems that’s what happened

In those 10 years he made Greeninferno, and master of Mystery and Horror S.king liked it.

Then all amateur porn plots are oscar.

All the dark stuff on internet triggers same disgust, they win too as great piece of cinema. Nice logic.

The Naked Gun

I really hope you’ve seen the Police Squad series, then… Cool

Absolutely! Brilliantly funny stuff!

Every now and then I find myself starting to judge all American TV comedy by the rubbish I don’t like, but something like this soon reminds me there is some absolutely brilliant stuff.

I never said Hollywood and glamour are not synonymous you’re saying that, and indeed I don’t care too much if they are or not. Not all cinema is circumscribed to Hollywood you should know. There are great films outside the Hollywood world. : )

Women should not destroy their faces with botox and implants.

I don’t know what that has to do with what we were talking, but actually I agree, but hey…everyone can do with their face what they want.

It doesnt matter how attractive a female looks.

Again, I never said that it doesn’t matter how attractive a woman is, the only thing I said is the quality of a movie has nothing to do with it and does not make it “less bad” just because a movie has more “attractive” women there.

Charlotte could play Lucy or Wonderwoman, we dont need Galgadot or Scarlett.

It depends on the movie you attempt to do.

Charlotte can draw more crowd than Sharonstone or Salmahayek too.

Surely not, Sharon and Salma attract more public, but that says nothing of the films in which they are involved, are two separate things. In my case I would prefer to watch a movie with Charlotte, I like more her level of performance and acting, and sometimes she has the audacity to choose more risky and interesting roles. She does not always play “safe”.

And Dwyanejhonson is amazing actor, gets work because of his acting chops, his figure doesn’t add anything to films.

It’s a lousy actor from my point of view, surely the people see his movies because likes his presence on camera, I guess,  is that what you wanted me to say? That’s true, my point was and still is that the quality of the movies has nothing to do with the physical appearance.

We also dont need cinematography, just raw acting skills and a camera.

The cinematography is always important.

In those 10 years he made Greeninferno, and master of Mystery and Horror S.king liked it.

It seems very little for the supposed “master of the future of horror” As I said for me is a mediocre director, however I don’t hate the guy, I recognize that he is a figure of relative importance in the horror genre, but what I say is that he is far from that assumption “master of horror”,that is a title too big for him, he’s far away from that. Also the fact that Steven King liked it, sorry.. but that doesn’t means nothing, his word is respected, but they are not absolute truths, just an opinion.

Then all amateur porn plots are oscar.

?

All the dark stuff on internet triggers same disgust, they win too as great piece of cinema. Nice logic.

Many movies do not qualify for be considered great pieces of cinema, I didn’t say that, that’s a title that only some movies can aspire to reach, we were talking about realism, just that. And that’s not proportionally direct to how much money you have. You can have millions of dollars to make a movie but that does not guarantee that you can achieve a bit of realism.

I am glad you are not David lynch, MullhollandDrive would have been disaster.
Wink

So for you the success of Mullholland Drive or the good movie that it is, depended solely on how attractive were the female protagonists, had nothing to do the script, the story, the direction and everything else.

I stopped following them after the utter train wreck that was St. Anger (actually, I don’t really know if it was truly a train wreck, I couldn’t hear anything over Lars’s overagressive steely snare drum).

This almost sounds like they found their 80s vibe again. Thumbs Up

So Disney is making a live-action remake of The Lion King, to be directed by Jon Favreau who did the live-action remake of The Jungle Book earlier this year.

Bit late in the year for April Fools, no?


Can I just go “Nope!” and leave now?
