Just watched it last night, and the 2014 Robocop is actually pretty good.

The American is a fucking great film and how Anton Corbijn doesn't have a dozen more films made is disappointing.

Tarkovsky can frame a nice image, but not much else.
He can also sustain them over several minutes.Quoting megladon8 (view post)

Overrated filmmaker is overrated.
That's not what I meant by sustaining a shot in duration, since the idea is that it isn't simply a static image but that something is happening in the frame.Quoting megladon8 (view post)

I understood what you meant, I just think he’s a boring filmmaker.Quoting baby doll (view post)
Plenty of other directors are able to sustain incredible images for several minutes while also keeping me engaged, instead of making me check my watch.
Simply saying a film bores you doesn't necessarily mean it's unsuccessful; it could be that you need to adjust your expectations or that it's simply not for you. Can you point to any specific failing in Tarkovsky's films that you think makes his work less successful than other directors working in a similar mode (e.g., Antonioni, Angelopoulos, Kiarostami, Hou)?Quoting megladon8 (view post)

Can you explain your reasoning for putting the word "real" in that post? I've been pondering it and I cant quite understand.Quoting baby doll (view post)
Simple though no? He's saying The American is a pale copy of the real thing, the real thing in this case being, oh, Le Samourai perhaps.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Not that I agree or anything.

The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
Meet Joe Black and Anti-Trust are decent flicks, and Claire Forlani is a treasure that Hollywood wasted.
I like Claire Forlani.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Also I hate to go back to an old topic but after seeing it again this month I really like A View To A Kill now instead of disliking it as I did before. It is a solid, goofy fun send off for Roger Moore.
