That's not Denis Villeneuve

>I DRINK LE MILKSHAKE xD

PTA is the dictionary definition of entry level cinema. He not only steals from better directors, but he does it without any irony like Tarantino.

I am personally fine with it though. Because through PTA, all these freshmen college students will discover Robert Altman, who was the real deal. They will discover Scorsese, the most important American film director of our time, they will discover Kubrick, and the Coen Bros.

Through Altman, they will discover Renoir, through Kubrick, they will discover Ophuls, Scorsese to Fellini. Suddenly they realize PTA was just a child with no original thoughts in his head, that his films just revolve around quoting better directors while adding epic catch phrases like "I drink your milkshake!" and "Pig fuck!" Really there is no bigger clue in to how meaningless his cinema is when the only thing people discuss when mentioning his movies are 'le epic catch phrases, dude!'

You might say great artist steal, but what Picasso meant by this is that great artists are able to understand what works and manipulate it. PTA merely 'mimics'. This is why it is completely obvious who he is mimicking from film to film.

Not American

That's not Joel or Ethan Coen.

>not american
>born in north america

wdhmbt

nice pasta

Born in USA = American
Born in Canada = a fucking LEAF

Canada isn't America, and Quebec isn't even Canada. Quebec is an even gayer and less relevant France.

Coens are entry level but they've made some good films.

Coens should be your first rung on the ladder of cinema. Anything less should just be thrown in the trash outright.

His next film is with Daniel Day Lewis about a 1950s fashion designer.
Not much is known beyond that though. Mite b cool.

W R O N G

Pretty quick to judge the opinions of others without offering your own, aren't you? Go on, name the greatest living American film director according to somebody who has made the gruelling ascent to the dizzying heights of cinematic taste.

>fincher
>villeneuve
Fucking hell all that needs left to be said is fincher and nolan

Best living American directors are Mann, Bay, Malick, Lynch, Korine.

Malick and Lynch get a pass.

Mann's okay. Bay has talent but squanders it on terrible films. Korine is a pretentious moron.

You have bad taste.

Blackhat/Miami Vice, Pain and Gain and Trash Humpers/Spring Breakers all blow the fuck out of anything made by PTA and Villenueve.

You have infantile taste if you think otherwise. I'm 30 now. I went through the era of my life when I valued PTA and directors in the vein of Villenueve, but you'll grow out of them like I did unless you're the type of autist who shackles himself to his childhood and continues to play video games into his 20s.

reminder this is not a bot, it's a one guy always monitoring Sup Forums to spam his stale pastas.

Did you just call someone else an infantile manchild while simultaneously claiming that Spring Breakers is one of the best American movies in living memory?

Blackhat was a passable action flick, Miami Vice was a dodgy action flick. The only good movie on that list is Pain and Gain, and it's the one that's made by the director of every Transformers movie.

Villeneuve isn't even American, we discussed this already.

Seriously, you have terrible taste, sounds like you should stop going down this path you've chosen and be more like you were in your 20s.

>You have bad taste.
>uses memes like pretentious

Malick > Refn > Nolan > Fincher > PTA > Coen Bros > Watchowski Sis-Bro

>attempting to impress by affecting greater importance or merit than is actually possessed.

There is no greater example of pretension in art than Harmony Korine, except maybe Jeff Koons.

Spring Breakers is the greatest accomplishment of the 10s so far and if you disagree with that then the fault is with your own cinematic sensibility.

I don't care if Villeneuve is American. I know he's a French Canadian but somebody mentioned his name in this thread under the context of him being a good director and if I didn't retaliate then I would be enabling the degradation of the cinematic landscape.

One day you'll look in the mirror and realize that the basis for your cinema standards are a collection of second hand memes and just that. Then you will throw away all of your IMDB DVDs and embrace meme free living.

Spring Breakers is the most important film of the modern era and it would be impossible for a film released in the current cinema landscape to have more merit.

jeff koons is literally one of the most important artists on earth
you can't even use words properly. stick to capeshit

Both PTA and Villeneuve are objectively superior to Korine, it's not even a contest. Korine is a meme director that never made some half as artful as There Will Be Blood or Punch-Drunk Love

ur fat

Transcendent Tier: Malick

Great American Director Tier: PTA, Coens, Wes Anderson, Woody Allen, Baumbach, Whit Stillman, Scorsese, Spielberg, Lynch

>Spring Breakers is the greatest accomplishment of the 10s so far

Objectively incorrect, it is pretentious garbage with a bit of soft porn thrown in. The best you can say about it is that it has a colour palette that arrests the eye

The script achieves a whole new level of asinine, the characters are shallow, and it wasn't so much "edited" as "allowed to bloat to feature length".

Who do you think his favorite pornstar is?

Punch Drunk Love is PTA's best film but it's still no Trash Humpers. There Will Be Blood is a terrible piece of shit and sums up everything that's bad about the IMDB cinematic sensibility. It's an act of cinematic fraud.

There is only one Mann out there to be called the greatest living american director

>The script achieves a whole new level of asinine, the characters are shallow
You are a parasite in a small puddle attempting to critique a wider world you are completely unequipped to grasp.

>jeff koons is literally one of the most important artists on earth

Fuck off Jeff.

Nobody wanted to see pictures of you fucking your wife, and nobody thinks you're the new Warhol. You are the embodiment of pretension, so you mimick dadaism without understanding its context, attempting to shred "elitist standards" in art which no longer exist. Your work would be a dozen times more meaningful and subversive if you actually developed some physical skills and painted an aesthetically pleasing landscape.

PTA is the greatest living American director alive.

ftfy

Nice ad-hominem, I'll take that as a concession.

>Trash Humpers
how's this a good movie?

m8, you could write an articulated, sensible 3000 page critique of Koons work, still it wouldn't change the fact that he's one of the most important and renowed contemporary artists. literally all art departments across the globe teach him. ask any random art historians to name the most important living artist and chances are he'll either name koons or someone like hirst

It's one of the most bold, singular, socially insightful and emotionally affecting films ever made. Certainly one of the peaks of the 00s. I watched it on loop for an entire day the first time it became available.

you sound just like me when I was 16 and listened exclusively to synthwave casettes released in eastern europe during the 80s.

if you really are 30 I strongly recommend you kill yourself.

>if you really are 30 I strongly recommend you kill yourself.
I have too many duties to fulfill. Every year brings a brand new wave of 14 year olds who get their minds blown by IMDBcore and they must be challenged at every step or cinema will suffer as a result. Tarantino, PTA and their ilk are meme directors pure and simple. Recycled ideas, synthetic cinema. But when little Timmy whose cinematic sensibilities were formed around the touchstones of these directors decides to pick up a camera then what do we get. A meme of a meme. The paltry shred of authenticity that may have survived into the work of PTA is watered down even further. A pile of sick that has been eaten up and puked out again. An entire generation of living memes.

I would contest that "famous" and "important" are not synonymous. Nothing that Koons has made has established any movements, or set any standards, or even challenged any norms. Everything that his work (I use the term loosely, since he doesn't normally have much to do with the physical production of the piece) attempts to do, the likes of Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Andy Warhol have done before him.

He's a marketer, not an artist. He sells Koons-brand exhibition tickets.

It's a bunch of people with masks humping trash cans and destroying shit while being filmed by a consumer-grade VHS camera

PTA is unfulfilled potential. Every move seems like a failed experiment. His best movies are Boogie Nights and Magnolia because they are impulsive and high energy. They show a love for filmaking that make them fun to watch. Everything else is calculated and boring as fuck

Lynch and Malick are superior.

Well done. You provided a very basic description of content of Trash Humpers.

explain how it's "one of the most bold, singular, socially insightful and emotionally affecting films ever made"

If your mind, heart and soul weren't open enough to feel it first hand then what's the point in trying to explain it? You could tell an autistic person what love is. It's not going to help them.

You are so full of shit it's embarrassing by proxy.

Pig fuck!

Watch it right now. If you can't appreciate it then watch it again this same day a year from now and then continue like that until you reach the required level of cinematic maturity. Cinema sophistication is something that is learned. You must train to take on the greatest challenges.

"no"

Your loss. Keep wallowing in your IMDB pit of video games, nostalgia worship and pornography.

>Blackhat was a passable action flick

you are pseud who think you're patrician but in reality you're a certified pleb. Your opinion on Spring Breakers and Bay compounds this fact

You guys are all wasting time and energy debating about something that is of no consequence to anyone. Nobody gives a fuck who you think is the greatest American filmmaker not your reasoning behind it. Get off this thread and go back to spouting memes for easy laughs.

>The script achieves a whole new level of asinine, the characters are shallow
i think it went over your head kiddo

>people actually claim NCFOM is a better film than TWBB

I'll never get over it. NCFOM is a great movie, but first of all its a book adaptation from one of the most notable living authors, second it simply isn't a visually interesting enough film for repeated viewings.

I've seen TWBB over 10 times now. I've only watched NCFOM 3 times and the third time was a bit of a chore.

honestly the korinefag is worse than the cp spammer

it's very likely they're one and the same

Woody Allen is still alive though.

>projection

>buzzwords

>ad hominem

Classic Korine fans

>I've seen TWBB over 10 times now
That's like saying "I liked the cheeto dust stuffed hotpocket so much I ate 9 more of them and then masturbated while covered in the grease. I hate vegetables though and could barely finish my third carrot"

Gorging yourself on video game sensibility entertainment cinema is not an honorable thing. It's low minded, it's autistic, it infantile. There Will Be Blood is borderline pornographic

>There Will Be Blood is borderline pornographic
>Spring Breakers is the height of cinematic artistry

Are you posting from Bizarro World?

There Will Be Blood indulges in the pornography and invites the audience to do the same. Purely for the purposes of getting them off.

Spring Breakers lures in the audience in with the promise of titilation and then just as the audience members start wanking their little dicks Korine holds up the mirror to the crowd and confronts them with that they really are. Depraved, disgusting degenerates. It's a call to arms against the video game. Meanwhile PTA just wanted to make the hottest most "movie buff" arousing video game he could.

>when they growl at the black guys
is korine alt-right?

You gotta quit crack.

Magnolia was a terrible movie
The Coen brothers are better

true

you sound like a redditor

Oh fuck off THERE WILL BE BLOOD is utter meme crap it's dishonest. it doesn't have authenticity. it was created to appear a certain way rather than for a real purpose. it has nothing to do with popularity, other than the fact that these films take no risks because they need to be popular to be profitable.

these films are entirely indistinguishable, which is a bad thing for an artist. they all try to fit in but do subtle things to appear valuable. so there will be limited effort in characterization, or visual expression, but really the creators don't have an interest in creating art. the point is to make 90-120 minutes of content that appears professional and is inoffensive enough to avoid criticism.

Oh look someone is aping Armond White again and pretending to be mature

in what world did spring breakers hold a mirror to the audience.

>it was created to appear a certain way rather than for a real purpose.

top lel. the point of bait is to say something someone might believe.

i watched inherent vice last night. i like it more the more i watch it

Ironically it's a perfect criticism for Spring Breakers which he defends

I didn't realize anyone disagreed with this
dudes only made 2 good movies. look at his older filmography, it's pretty shit

>Blackhat/Miami Vice, Pain and Gain and Trash Humpers/Spring Breakers all blow the fuck out of anything made by PTA and Villenueve.

I can't even tell if this is bait. what the fuck happened?

good point

>it's dishonest. it doesn't have authenticity
lmao its amazing how people just start saying random shit on Sup Forums and then other people start seriously repeating it like it means anything. "dishonest filmmaking" is like a 3 week old meme, stop trying to inject it into actual film discussions

>3 good/ok films
>109 bad ones
it's literally a chimps in a room with a typewriter scenario with him
