I definitely enjoy his early 60s work more, particularly Band of Outsiders. But I'd much rather watch any other new waver from the era. Godard is cold and cruel and too intellectual.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 All great filmmakers to me, but I find I connect most to Godard's idiosyncratic style. I remember really hating Pierrot Le Fou when I first watched it, but after reading up on its production it all sort of clicked into place and made me really appreciate its "badness," so to speak. Sort of stream of consciousness film, that one. The other two I mentioned are just plain cool and are great examples of where Tarantino derived his style from.

Anyone like me who's watched probably hundreds of hours of LOTR/Hobbit making of documentaries (including rewatches) is very familiar with him. When I was a teenager in the early 00s I used to put on the EE special features discs to lull me to sleep. New Zealand accents still make me feel sleepy...

Jay 37,364 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 J.J. Abrams’ God Particle will be another Cloverfield movie This film actually sounds interesting, as has a good cast (David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ziyi Zhang, Elizabeth Debicki, Daniel Brühl, and Chris O’Dowd). But this part is alarming The Wrap’s source notes that Abrams and Paramount now want a new Cloverfield film every year. Way to kill a franchise!

A24 4,333 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm for it! Just look at the difference between Cloverfield and Cloverfield Lane. If it wasn't for the title, you wouldn't know it's a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I don't really think of it as a franchise, more of a branding like an anthology series. Any suggestions that this is all connected is just for fun IMO. Calling it a "shared universe" or whatever is just to sell it to the distributor since cinematic universes are totally in right now. JJ wants to produce interesting standalone genre films, and this is his approach to try and make it profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
