Do you think they'll do documentaries about Martin Scorsese or James Cameron?
Scorsese for sure, at some point down the line. Cameron? Maybe, maybe not.

That's gonna be great. I'm in for footage of the movie brats hanging out. Give me some Margot Kidder walking around in the nude and making Steven uncomfortable. I recommend Easy Riders, Raging Bulls for more stories like that.
There was a decent Scorsese documentary that was an extra on the Departed BD/DVD, of course it's doesn't include his pictures made after. The De Palma doc from last year was pretty good as well. I need a huge Carpenter retrospective in my life at some point.

I hope that they do. Cameron is probably the most interesting of these three.

Only if they get people who have the guts to talk about how much of an asshole Cameron is.
I remember reading that he purposely almost drowned cast members in one of his movies (either Titanic or The Abyss), so that he can get better acting out of them lol
Yes please. That's one of the things that make him interesting. Kinda like Steve Jobs. Super competent and professional asshole creative person.
LOL. This.

because its one of the GOATs, breh I literally cried when I rewatched ET and that stupid alien said bye to Elliot, Spielberg and Williams really knew how to elicit emotion from the viewers. all these blockbuster bums should pay royalties to Spielberg. he basically laid the groundwork for modern hollywood crowd pleasers, but yet it feels like his movies back then are still at an unattainable status.
And yet they both drive themselves harder on obtaining that vision. Fine line between asshole and driven.
Anyway, can't wait to see this doc. He's a filmmaking genius. Obviously...

My local AMC theatre was screening ET again this past weekend and I saw it again. It was awesome. Goosebumps when the feds catch up to the empty van and it cuts to the road with the 5 bikes while the main theme kicking in. So good.

Because it might be William's best work. I am so grateful to have heard his work.
Or the spectacular Tintin.
Man I'll always feel lucky having lived in the age of Speilberg and having had a family cool enough to make sure I saw all of his classics when I was young. Can't imagine a more iconic film director... He's in a class of his own. The Speilberg John Williams combination is oh so great

Give me
Quentin Tarantino
David Lynch
David Cronenberg
Wes Anderson
John Carpenter
Lincoln was good
Do us a favor and keep this shitty hot take to yourself. Bridge of Spies was great.
Bridge of Spies was great though.
Just you wait till The Post!
Just you wait till Indy 5!!
Ready Player One can go either way.
You're not alone. It's one of the most emotionally thrilling movies ever

David Lynch got a documentary done some days ago called "David Lynch: The Art Life" but I honestly haven't seen it yet. I've heard it was good.

It's really good. Gives plenty of context and insight to where his work came from and some of his upbringing
It's even getting a criterion release next month I think
