Diehard was a really good movie, they should have started making fewer movies after that, except for the ones I like (I have liked maybe 15 movies since then)

We need more insane directors that sneak conspiracy poo poo into their movies while also making them good in their own right

I just wish more directors had the courage to take on Robocop and the Robocop universe. What would a Lynchian Robocop be like?

it's easier for me to imagine a Cronenberg Robocop before a Lynch one, mostly because of the tech meets the flesh aspect

Cameron once admitted in an interview that his third favorite Alien movie was AVP

Fincher disowned Alien 3 because the producers pretty much took it from him

kubrick was crazy but for some reason people really like to paint him to be some sort of secret genius using poo poo that he never even did or with poo poo that isnt even all that weird

he borderline tortured shelly duvalle by forcing her to do like 50 takes at a time but instead the real measure of his craziness is he made sure the set design in his movie was on point even though it was black and white!!! a green table??? haha wow what a crazy loon!

i saw a documentary of kubrick conspiracies and a good chunk of them were just fuckin made up. there are no hidden secret frames with dicks in them where u said they were, dude

American cinema today is missing all existential thought. There's no questioning society. No politics. Studios try to make themselves feel good with the movies that make it to the Oscars.

during the production of RoboCop Verhoeven would often refer to women as bitches due to the fact that he didn't know the englishes good enough language and nobody corrected him. this made it into the film with the line spoken by Boddicker to the two hookers, "Bitches, leave."

It never ceases to amaze me how "the people in this movie behave like actual human beings" doesn't seem to be important to movie critics and audiences. Every single person in Aliens is a completely flat caricature, yet the movie is generally considered good smh

the queen alien is more human than the humans.

but seriously the film is terrible on every level. i dont really care it has nothing to do with the atmosphere/horror of the first film, but jesus atleast make it good.
