Thor 7,495 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 He got his fair share of flack over the years, but I personally loved a lot of his movies, FALLING DOWN being perhaps the biggest favourite. I didn't even know he was sick, so this was quite shocking to me. He's been such an integral part of my film upbringing. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/joel-schumacher-dead-dies-batman-director-1234644961/ (so many great scores for his movies, I'm going to make a special podcast episode about him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Oof, now I'm wondering who will complete the trifecta I just listened to the Batman Forever score the other day, super zany fun for a super zany movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 452 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 That’s a damn shame. At least it wasn’t COVID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 He still hasnt been forgiven for the wretched BATMAN AND ROBIN by the nerddom( Thor loves it, of course;) ). But, I loved FOREVER and I do forgive! ☺ Rip JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Good director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Good and versatile director, with a great array of great scores in his movies. Batman Forever might not be a perfect Batman score, but it's pretty much a perfect superhero score Matt C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Well, Schumacher made one iconic film, some might even say he made two. That's more than JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson and Denis Villeneuve have managed. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 452 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I've always respected Joel for how he owned up to Batman & Robin's failings. Would've liked to see him direct a darker Batman film the way he wanted, it would've been interesting to see how it differed to his "toyetic" movies. It's a shame he passed.

karelm 2,913 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Damn, so James Horner and Joel Schumacher died the same day of the year. Any other bad news Thor since you are the king of RIP threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,357 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Didn't realise until now that he was openly gay ... guess that explains some things about his two Bat movies . Falling Down was very good, should see that again sometime. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
