    I can’t believe the same person that made Moon and Source Code made that garbage Warcraft movie.

          This. It definitely cratered some connections. Hence why only Netflix was willing to pick up Mute after Warcraft bombed.

            Warcraft was before that and it sucked. Source Code is meh at best too.

            He was a shut-in dork his whole life. His dad definitely rubbed shoulders to throw him a bone.

              obviously, but bowie was probably stoo busy fricking chicks and young boys worldwide rather then play sports with his son, doesnt really strike me like they had some real hard bond

            he chose to live with bowie and not his mother when his parents split. in fact he cut all contact with her

    He seems like a decent guy on Twitter though (haven't followed him in years). He mentioned Flesh + Blood as a big influence, so he has kino taste

      Verhoeven is a fedora boomer. Only good movie he ever made is Starship Troopers and it ended up good purely by accident.

        Starship Troopers is complete dogshit. But I find it hilarious that Verhoeven tried shitting on the book because he found it too fascist despite only reading a few pages. He tried to paint the government in the book as cartoonishly evil only for the audience to receive the opposite reception and think it's based.

        Black Book, Flesh+Blood, Robocop, Basic Instinct Total Recall are not just good, but much better than Starship Troopers. There's nothing fedoraish about these movies.

      He peaked with Mimic and that was only due to interference from Harvey Weinstein

        Hellboy was better imho. Had a very similar finale (Rosary) but much more satisfying. He generally has a habit of redoing the same stuff over and over again.

        I think his films got so bad you can say that, but his first 3 movies are genius. where thatt director has gone, it's sad, total wasted talent.

    >tries to prove his worth despite the obvious nepotism involved
    >finally gets his break and makes a big movie for a consumer audience
    >it's a shitty video game adaptation
    >despite no one anticipating the movie to be good he tried put in the effort
    >recalled that the movie was depressing to make since mother died in the beginning of production while his father died right after the film was completed
    >it's a massive flop
    >fricks off and is never seen again
    Can't imagine a director more JUSTed than him

    Warcraft was good, especially for a video game movie and I'm tired of pretending it's not
