Director Wolfgang Petersen Dies At 81
he also directed Poseidon
first
fail
If this doesn't get a sticky but some shitty tv spinoff finale does, this board is fricked.
Milos Forman never got a sticky, never forget.
and it never did
wow, he produced a lot of garbage after das boot.
In the Line of Fire is great.
F.
Loved Air Force One and Neverending Story. Need to see the others. Another great gone.
F
I always hated Das Boot for its elitist fans (I'm talking about Germans not Cinemaphile)
I thought Never Ending Story was the fake movie from Stranger Things
RIP
81's a good run though
F
We will remember his name.
>Das Boot
>The Perfect Storm
>Poseidon
Why did he make the sea so scary?
It is pretty fricking scary.
The sea is just naturally scary. Frick the sea. I'd rather go up in space rather than in the sea or for that matter underground.
You're no man
I don't care. The sea can go frick itself. IMO we have even less business swimming in the water than we have flying in the air.
Das Boot >> TNES = Troy = ItLoF > Perfect Storm > Air Force One
F kinomister
he died four days ago. was his death even covered? does anyone even know hes dead?
OP killed him
I'm glad he's dead
F
Das Boot is a masterpiece, not so fond of his American 90s shlock though.
always got him confused with Roland Emmerich
Emmerich is a b***h boy with only shit ass movies
Emmerich is a total hack, and that might be overpraise. Petersen peaked early with a great film and afterwards did fun stuff in America.
F
F for Das Boot and some others
Enemy Mine and Outbreak are two of favorite movies R.I.P.
F
>it's real
>it's been real over three days
Why in the FRICK are we all talking about zombie Anne Heche??
F my dude. Das Boot is one of the greatest movies I've seen.
>director of one of the greatest war films of all time
>no sticky
The mods are zoomies confirmed
Jannies don't care about movies and they never have. Sadly Wolfgang Petersen's name will just be added to the copypasta about who never received a sticky.
Sticky threads are no longer announcements for the board, we all know this. They are purely a way to contain discussion so we don't disturb the many shill threads that are the true purpose of this board.
wtf he died four days ago and no one on this board told me. bunch of plebs. and no sticky of course. guess the mods have either priorities.
He died four days ago but his family only made it public today
HAHAHAHAHA
imagine being a homosexual that consumes capeshit
oooooOOOOOooooOOOOoooooo no sticky for you but your ass can get my boot ooooOOOOoooOOOOoooo
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He directed Das Boot, and that's enough for me.
F

In the line of fire was pure kino
I loved Das Boot and Air Force One. I love when Harrison Ford tells Gary Oldman he's sick and tired of the motherfricking ruskies on his motherfricking plane.
RIP Wolfgang Petersen
I think Air Force One was Harrison Ford's peak as a star at the cinema, all downhill from there
F
Underrated Petersen coming through
Where tf is the sticky btw
forgot image
>music by MAURICE JARRE
oh hell yeah
>hey guise check this UNDERRATED KINO
Yes, yes, we all watch Red Letter Media.
>we all watch a shit youtube friend simulator
Speak for yourself.
Looks like I hit a nerve. I look forward to more threads and posts about movies you've "always been a fan of" that just happens to get videos by the RLM gang.
How did you know RLM made a video of it
Because I post on Cinemaphile and yes, I do watch RLM. Just like the two of you.
Enemy Mine is not a famous movie. Nobody cared about it until they made a video about it.
That's exactly what happens ALL THE TIME.
I look forward to posts and threads about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly soon btw. 🙂
>Enemy Mine is not a famous movie. Nobody cared about it until they made a video about it.
It was a well known movie and was played on tv a lot
>I do watch RLM. Just like the two of you.
You have confirmed you are an RLM homosexual who gets his entire set of opinions from what RLM thinks is cool or not, then comes to Cinemaphile to show how cool you are to your anonymous friends. Fricking embarrassing. Try thinking for yourself.
I have never seen a single video from RLM in my entire life, AMA
No. You probably don't know anything about movies.
Is this guy right and you can only have true knowledge about cinema as an art-form if you watched every RLM-video?
How did you hear about Enemy Mine? It's literally impossible to know about that and most other obscure movies unless you watch RLM
I think I saw it on German TV (RTL 2) as a teenager. I remember liking it, but can't remember anything about it. Had no idea that it's a Wolfgang Petersen-movie until this thread.
>buncha germans talking about weird flop movie directed by a german that nobody saw but was broadcasted regularly on german tv
There you go. It's a local issue. Nobody had heard of this film before RLM covered it in their video.
I saw it on TV in California
Nobody cares, Felipe.
I am 100% correct.
I wanna know this as well.
>German TV
Likely story.
He can't be trusted.
>everyone on the internet is exactly like me
I saw it in the theater when it came out, kid
Doubtful. Hardly anyone saw it, and if h=it had not been for RLM, it would likely not be re-released on video
>what is a video store?
>what is cable tv?
fricking zoomer
Ah yes. I can picture folks in droves going into Blockbuster to rent the new kino from Wolfgang Petersen. I can also picture folks scrolling through TV channels and end up watching a movie that's basically a early LGBT drama.
No. Your history revisionism is hilariously dumb. Just admit you'd never heard of this film before Gay Jay "Wonder" Bauman recommended it.
Nobody fricking cares, zoomer.
Can you stop looking for attention for a single thread?
No, I was molested, and my molesters looked like the 2 RLM guys
I'm assuming it was Josh and Jack.
I cared enough to swear at you.
"Hehe I'm more dead inside than you" will always be the weirdest zoomer cope.
You cared enough to respond.
God I wish my molesters looked like Jay, Rich and Mike.
Fair enough. But I guarantee you Enemy Mine was not one of those hundreds if not thouands of films over decades.
>I can picture folks in droves going into Blockbuster to rent the new kino from Wolfgang Petersen.
there were a lot of people in the heyday of movie rental stores that went there several times a week and rented hundreds if not thousands of films over decades.
>Blockbuster
>1980s
choose one, zoomie
Blockbuster only had a few stores when this came out on VHS
And you were too young to remember when HBO and Showtime would show the same films over and over again
You grew up in a world with a glut of sci-fi entertainment, but it wasn't always this way
Sci-fi fans used to go to every sci-fi movie, regardless of who was in it
Also Louis Gossett Jr. was still fresh from his academy award winning performance in An Officer and a Gentleman, so the film had some buzz about it
>>"OW MY NERVE!" the post
Yeah whatever, broski.
not an argument
I'm trying to move on from shitposting, not keep it alive.
>I'm trying to move on from shitposting
is that what you do when you have been proven to be wrong?
why bother posting at that point then?
Because you and all the other gays got triggered and it amuses me to see the eyeball icon in CinemaphileX glow red. "Oh goody, I got a reply!" Literally got a stiffy. Now move on, b***h. The moment has passed.
He lost the ball completely after The Patriot and has made nothing but trash since then.
>"Oh goody, I got a reply!" Literally got a stiffy.
all this projection
Are you still upset by what I thought was obvious bait? Move on with your lives, you triggered little dumbfricks lmao
>what I thought was obvious bait?
>hurr, I was only pretending to be moronic
a tale as old as the internet
Still triggered? Still shaking?
still backpedaling from being proven wrong, but unable to walk away?
Not backpedaling from anything. Enemy Mine is a shit movie nobody saw. It was a giant flop and it's true that most people first saw it on RLM's youtube channel.
It's basic facts. Maybe not enough basic for you.
>The studio pushed the film with a full marketing blitz the Sunday before Thanksgiving with full-page advertisements in 43 of the largest newspapers in the United States. Meanwhile, Fox arranged for a television "network roadblock": virtually simultaneous 30-second prime time commercials on all three. Still that same day, 3,500 theatrical trailers were shipped to theaters across America, and 164 of the nation's biggest shopping malls were covered with posters for the film.
>that most people first saw it on RLM's youtube channel
most kids maybe, but not everybody watches some nobodies on YouTube
get over yourself. not everyone is like you or even shares your experiences
It underperformed greatly and was critically panned. Who cares how much they wasted on advertising. You have nothing to prove people saw this film.
Ok, maybe you should go back to Cinemaphile and leave serious film discussion to professionals?
>underperformed
at the cinema, but that doesn't mean no one saw it in the theater. I did
it also doesn't mean it wasn't in heavy rotation on cable and available at the video store
your claim that no one saw this film until some homosexual YouTubers made a video about it is completely false
in fact, in aggregate, more people saw the film before RLM ever existed than saw it after RLM's video about it
your perspective is so narrow, and only limited to your experiences. other people are different from you
open your mind
Okay, I guess I concede. This movie is a masterpiece and it OVERPERFORMED.
>This movie is a masterpiece and it OVERPERFORMED.
that's not what I said and you know it
I'm saying that you need to broaden your horizons and realize that not everyone is like you, so not everyone was introduced to this film like you were
is this hard to understand?
No, I get it. I'm pretty sure most people didn't see this film.
can you just try to realize that not everyone is like you or shares your experiences?
broadening your perspective would make you more successful and the world a little bit better
Now I don't understand. What does a broader perspective have to do with watching a sci-fi film on TV? Can I have a broad perspective even if I didn't do this? Can anyone? Because again, I'm pretty sure most people didn't.
I saw it after I played Half Life 2 because the dude voiced the vorts and they mentioned it in raising the bar.
Just fricking die in a war with china, zoomer.
the only one who seems triggered here is you
>no one could have seen Enemy Mine unless they watched some Youtube video made by some randoms about it
is a pretty crazy claim, which you vigorously defended for some reason
he is a desperate friendless troony looking for attention, stop replying and he will go find some other troony activity to do
you think only RLM has seen a film from a world-famous director?
kek "before RLM no one ever knew about any older movies" what a fricking homosexual why dont you go donate your $5 blowjob money to them right now
>I GET ALL MY MOVIE OPINIONS FROM RLM
>I LITERALLY CANNOT UNDERATAND HOW OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THESE MOVIES
Cinemaphile is full of raging zoomer homosexuals
are we supposed to never mention a movie again if rlm happen to feature it?
Only if it's a popular film. For example, I will not fault you for making a Predator thread right after Mike and Jay talk about it in one of their videos. But Enemy Mine is literally a movie that nobody has ever heard about until RLM covered it.
I agree. It's a real problem.
Don't be a pussy. Direct reply to me next time.
You're wrong on all accounts. Enemy Mine is not popular and most people don't know it exists until RLM covered it.
Most posters are the right age for Enemy Mine to have been a regular on the telly
Nobody watched this movie on TV.
Correct.
"cult classic" is now modern speak for "movie nobody heard about". It used to mean something back in the day.
>Nobody watched this movie on TV.
I saw it twice on cable TV, it
had a short run in the theaters but played on TV a lot back before the internet era. Did you know there were movies played on TV before the internet?
Yes. Movies like Police Academy, a true cult classic.
>Did you know there were movies played on TV before the internet?
I didn't know this, let me message RLM and ask them
>But Enemy Mine is literally a movie that nobody has ever heard about until RLM covered it.
>Enemy Mine is not popular
It was a cult classic for years because it was different to most sci-fi shit. Just because you were not even born then does not mean NO ONE knew about it until your Cinema Gods at RLM discovered it in some Kino Cave and brushed it off and exclaimed "Guys look we found some kino" and you ran here to tell everyone that you discovered some kino. Kek you should literally have a nice day.
>I get all my opinions from YouTube e-celebs
>HaHa I recognize that movie from one of my e-celeb subscriptions!!!
extremely pathetic
F
Troy has some kino scenes
RIP Mr. Petersen
The couple of Tatort episodes he made before Das Boot were special as well. Plus get off my plane!
RIP
Das Boot is still my favourite movie ever made.
RIP
Das Boot was a real one
the Air Force One plane crash is still one of the most beautiful things put on film. RIP
Wolfgang Peterson was the last director Clint Eastwood worked with before turning almost exclusively to acting in his own movies (Not counting Trouble with the Curve, which was made by Clint's producing partner).
Didn't know he directed Troy too. Kinomaster.
never seen:
Shattered
In the Line of Fire
Outbreak
Air Force One
The Perfect Storm
Troy
Poseidon
which of these hold up?
be honest
perfect storm and in the line of fire are good. Troy is entertaining.
Poseidon is bad (watch the '72) and Troy has some good moments, but the rest is comfy semi-kino thrillers from when Hollywood knew how to make them
air force one is fun.
rest in peace.
dont remember asking
>I'm a RML fanatic that means you all must be too, how else could anyone know a film from the ancient year of 1985?
Kys, zoom-zoom
Before RLM, there was literally no way to find out which moves were cool or not. That's how I know you watch RLM
Damn, what happened?
For me, its the penis inspection scene
>Director of Das Boot
Is that the one about the beer chugging competition, didn't really care for it.
frick Werner is next
Nah, surely it will be Dick Van Dyke next (I have been saying this for 5 years now).
This is the kind of guy who dies and people thought he died 20 years ago
Time to watch Das Boot again. The 5 hour BBC version, of course.
where to get this version?
Try 1337, use a vpn. Have fun, anon.
F, I fricking love Das Kino and i haved one of the best trips on lsd watching Neverending story a few years ago, based kraut.
>4Kanal?
>Das Geistige kommt hier zu kurz.
Shoulda been vaxxed. Oh well
He was German so he was probably maxx vaxxed 12 times already
Now he is in heaven filming NeverEnding Story reboot with Anne Heche as "The Nothing"
F
why is rlm so triggering? a premium kinomaster passed away and instead of a sticky with lively discussion we get a thread entirely derailed by the mention of rlm.
nobody talks about anything that happens in the movie. the funeral wreath scene or Louis Gossett Jr. amazing performance despite the heavy makeup.
even if someone had found out about the film because of a youtube channel. good for him. why would anyone care. what do you have to say about the film?
>the funeral wreath scene or Louis Gossett Jr. amazing performance despite the heavy makeup.
That's exactly what RLM said
F
F
Stick, janny.
Guy would be worthy of a sticky for Neverending Story alone, never mind Das Boot.
JANNY REQUEST A STICKY COME ON
F
Damn, heard about this and rushed here expecting a sticky, jannies do your fricking job!
Big F.
What if we pretend Wolfgang Petersen was half-Finnish?
If it's someone important to cinema or that made great films you're safe to expect no sticky
do you remember when the True Blood gayhomie got a sticky?
They gave a fricking sticky to "Don't post spoilers about Endgame". Cinemaphile powers hate cinema (and us) with a passion
I don't remember that, but believe it 100%
>NOOO NOT MUH CAPESHIT
This board is full of literal shills. Are you guys blind? Amazon and Netflix for sure, Disney as well.
Amazon does political baiting, Netflix does racebaiting and disney attempts to force waifus every fricking time as well as political and racebaiting.
F
Independence Day 2 & 10,000 BC are two of the finest films ever made. F indeed.
God how I dislike 10000bbc.
It has like 3 or 4 prophecies and they all fulfill it was such bullshit.
Emmerich really needs to thrown in a wood chipper for his crimes against cinema, along with many others
>Liberty Two-Four is changing call signs
>Liberty Two-Four is now Air Force One
K I N O
I recall reading Harrison Ford made his studio agree they would not release nay other big movies within 3 weeks before/after of Air Force One, to ensure it would not get overshadowed at the box office. He was very protective of his Star status at the time and didn't want to go down in status with a flop. It was a huge hit though.
Not even Murrican but that bit always brings a tear to my eye for some reason. Guess a Goldsmith score will do that to a homie
Some of the best and most patriotic Murrica movies are in fact made by foreigners.
>when the fighters fall in around them
watch the glass on the desk carefully. the set was put on top of a seesaw and rocked back and forth. when they filmed this they didnt rock the camera they moved the set. and they rocked it heavenly when filming the depth charges. petersen put that half full glass there for a reason. the attention to detail is insane.
there was a making of on youtube in english. unfortunately it was deleted.
does anybody know where to watch the making of? it was super interesting!
good to hear another german bites the dust
I mean seriously he cast Duke Leto Atreides for the main role
Guess Wolfgang won't be getting a sticky.
R.I.P. The Perfect Storm hits me in the feels after all these years. AIr Force One and Poseidon were also fun action movies.
>mfw the twist in Shattered
Greta Scacchi had great breasts anwyays
WHERE IS THE FRICKING STICKY FOR THE MAN WHO DID DAS BOOT YOU MOTHERFRICKING MODS
GODFRICKIN DAMMIT
Also RIP, Nevernding Story was childhood movie for me.
F
How the frick have I never heard of his name, yet watched quite a couple of his movies? Also
>no sticky yet for the guy who directed Troy and Das Boot
Fickt euch, ihr dreckigen Fotzenmods. Hauptsache irgendwelche wortwörtlich wer Leute kriegen einen Sticky, aber ausländische Regisseure wie Petersen oder Schauspieler wie Bud Spencer kriegen keinen. Lutscht meinen Schwanz, ihr Wichser
Heil
uh oh we got an angry german here
>Frick you, you dirty c**t mods. The main thing is that literally anyone gets a sticky, but foreign directors like Petersen or actors like Bud Spencer don't get one. Suck my wiener you motherfrickers
Based angry German.
>OMG TROY, AIR FORCE ONE, DAS BOOT DIRECTOR DIED HE WAS BAS-
ED
People don't know about this film because they never mention it on RLM.
>so Jay, did you enjoy the scene where ten kids run a train on the moronic girl?
Damn. I just watched Troy for the first time two days ago. Pretty creative guy.
Let me guess:
He was vaxxed and boosted.
Literally who
F
Air Force One has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid, used to watch it all the time with my family in the summer.
Rest In Peace
>it's real
