Well you don't have to ignore the comment

I have seen Bad Education and it is pretty dec, GGB is good, I think he is a bit overrated in the indie circle, and way underrated in the general public of movie goers. I'll see Vovler when it comes out

again, I don't get into indie movies like that quite as much as you do, cause I feel most of them are as over the top in there own way as a big budget action movie is in its own different way. But I find some gems in the lot, liek Y tu Mamam Tambienis one of my favs, its not really like Bad Education outside of both of them being spanish movies, but I do like it alot, and I thought Water was really great to

But we obviously view movies differently so its not really worth pushing the button. I just think what happens is the way I view movies is Bad Education is a good movie in its own way, because it stives to be something more than it is, but I also think Pirates is a better movie in its own way to, now if I where to poll the movies on which movie makes the better emotional connection Bad Education wins, but Pirates also was not made to do that, where if I poll the two on which is more entertain Pirates would win cause Bad Education is not ment to entertain. So the reason I say I think Pirates is better than Bad Education is because Pirates does a better job imo of doing what it was ment to do, than Bad Education did doing what it was ment to do, not saying Bad Education is bad, just saying that its goal imo wasn't achived quite as well as Pirates achvied its goal. That is the general way in which I view movies, where as I feel the way you look at movies, and correct me if this analogy is wrong, its just my impression from our conversations every now and then, is much the same way my friend views music, what is the most influential, what has the most subtext, what is ment to mean more, and that stuff is all well and good, and if you are perfectly fine with that being all you need in your movies that is great, but I need a balance of both.


personaly I find Pirates as very unentertaining and dull. I like films that entertain, Talk to her entertained me to a much greater level than pirates or any hollywood flick. And your use of the word indie is incorrect here, as Almodovar is a massive director and actually mainstream arthouse.
There's more to non-indie than hollywood.

Well the thing is, directing isn't just camera compesition, where yes Kevin Smith was terribley weak at

Of course! It goes beyond that! But, filmmaking is a visual artform. So, you have to be great at presenting stuff visually. Smith is an amazing writer, but his films could be improved upon visually.

wow Zemeckis is getting more love than I ever thought he would

nothing against him he just doesn't strike me as some one who can get people to say he is the 2nd best director ever, good for him, he's not my choice but still

Zemeckis made Back to the Future! Easily one of the best movies ever made!
