Newsflash: Taika Waititi Cohen has never risen above mediocre (Hunt for the Wilderpeople and the What We Do ain The Shadows movie) and most of his shot is excruciatingly bad and unfunny.
Add in the smug SJW shit and the cringe-style New Zealand ‘humor’ and you have a guy who is way out of his depth when it comes to media people actually want to watch.
What, like ‘Santa Inc’ or ‘Sausage Party’?
Don’t know if you noticed but being gnomish is no guarantee of being funny (nepotism doesn’t really care about success).
Aus humor is self depreciating, laid back and willing to poke fun at anyone and everyone
It just doesn't match what Australians are *actually* like, which is thin skinned narcs
Unfortunately you’re mostly dealing with younger zoomer Australians who are a very different breed from older Aussies.
Younger Australians have taken the ‘victim mentality’ to heart and are the first ones to call people out for making jokes about poofters, trannies, gays, people of colour etc.
Hannah Gadsby is the perfect synthesis of everything wrong with millennial and post-millennial Australians. If you want the old-school shit-stirring laid back Aussies you want Gen X and older.
You mean Melbourne. I remember back in the early noughties, Melbourne University hired Machine Gun Fellatio to head down from Sydney and do a concert.
One member of the band, KK Juggy, was known to go topless and do wild shit during concerts. At the Melbourne Uni show she got her tits out and cartwheeled across the stage.
The Melbournites were horrified and spread a rumour that MGF had ‘hired a stripper’ and banned MGF from the Uni for life.
I mean, what the fuck do you expect from a band named Machine Gun Fellatio?
I mean Melbourne gave the world TISM but overall Victoria is where you go to find humourless hypersensitive progressive authoritarian fuckwits.

Sydney and Melbourne are almost entirely the same shit, the whole rivalry thing is inane and not a real thing
It used to be pretty masculine and blokey, like in the movie ‘Stickmen’.
Then ‘Flight of the Conchords’ became successful overseas with their underlying themes and tropes of social awkwardness. See ‘Eagle versus Shark’ as well.
Then subsequent ‘comedians’ like Rhys Darby took up the mantle and turned the cringey social awkwardness up to 11. Taika has inherited this tradition of ‘oh look I’m socially misaligned just enough to be quirky and funny haha’. It’s not really funny, it’s just obvious and painful.
You can also start with indie NZ cinema like ‘Goodbye Pork Pie’, ‘Bad Taste’ and ‘Braindead’ before moving on to ‘Stickmen’ and thence to the Age of Waititi.
Jojo Rabbit is one of the worst movies ever made. And I really mean that. Turning the Holocaust into an ironic comedic farce is only OK if a garden gnome does it I suppose
Waititi Cohen is a garden gnome though.
Got through the NZ filmmaking industry on Māori affirmative action then jumped on the garden gnome gravy train when transitioning to Hollywood.
It's very different from the book it's adapting too. In the book Jojo and the gnomish girl are the same age and he fucks her and keeps her hidden in his attic long after the war ends.
It's much more interesting and sinister than le innocent little kid who just doesn't know any better!
Yeah, he developed a love for race car driving right around the time people started pointing out he kicked the living shit out of a previous girlfriend
wasnt it a moron though? she should count herself lucky to get a famous white guy to fuck her and just keep her fucking mouth closed or better yet actively defend him

She was, still a bad thing for his hollywood masters so he got 5 years banned instead of the usual 10 years as with mel because she was black
Does Fassbender just have the worst agent of all time or what, dude's filmography is absolutely cursed

Fassbender can't catch a break
something is wrong with fass as a person. he exclusively fucks morons and has nothing but shit for staring roles. at this point you cant just blame bad luck or a bad agent. its been years and years, something more permanent is going on. if anything you should be saying hes been lucky since he at least got in 300 and inglorious bastards despite being a living hollywood disaster in compassion with what he could be doing
He just can't differentiate a good project from a bad one and obviously just shows up for a paycheck.
Granted, Bale used to do that and appeared in a lot of shlock but managed to come out on top.
Fassbender is at the point where he doesn't care anymore.
Basically a Gerard Butler or an Eric Roberts/Bruce Willis. Anything for a paycheck until they literally start getting dementia.
Has anybody obliterated their own goodwill as fast as this guy?
This dude was going to shape the MCU's future, get a blank cheque to do a Star Wars movie. They were going to let him do big budget Akira for fucks sake!
Now I don't think I'd want to even watch a short made by the guy.
Blomkamp has developed Lucas-Jackson disease, an unfortunate disorder that causes directors to want to shoot everything in greenscreen and CGI the fuck out of the film.
It’s fatal to people’s directing careers and there no known cure, sadly.
At the very least that Star Wars movie is certainly dead, for all that franchises faults whenever someone lined up to make a movie for them drops a stink bomb they put a bullet in them immediately
Variety >Does it count as a white savior movie if the white character is the one who needs saving? In “Next Goal Wins,” the world’s top-grossing indigenous director, Taika Waititi, retells the story of how American Samoa went from having the world’s worst soccer team to, well, not the worst. While a white man was involved, the movie — which suggests how a film like “Cool Runnings” might be made with 30 years’ more cultural enlightenment — is mostly about how their coach (Michael Fassbender) needs an attitude adjustment. Come to think of it, that’s essentially the formula for most white savior movies.
>bad news bears but soccer
bravo Taka-my-money
Fassbender can't catch a break
>Fassbender can't catch a break
The Killer is certified fresh.
>a dozen steps backward
>1 step forward
>another step backwards
the killer was filmed after this movie
but the movie was delayed because of that rapist.
Cohen is a bad writer when he's left to his own devices. Needs someone to reign him in.
*rein
Moron.
FUCK!
FUCKING FUCK!!!
Over 9000 posts on this fucking forum and I finally make a spelling error.
MODS DON'T BAN ME PLEASE!!!!!!!
9000 penises strong?
The only good films he has ever made (Wilderpeople and eagle vs shark) we’re written entirely by him. You’re a dumbass
i mean the trailer had how many 'lol white people' jokes in it?
He's so creepy
He is basically Joss Whedon but way worse. At least Joss could do drama. All "Taika" can do is slap stick humor and marvel-tier quips.
Comedies should try to be funny first

If he was actually raised gnomish he would have been able to make actually funny films.

Explain Seth Rogan.
Canadian garden gnome
Mel Brooks and John Landis are the exception bro, not the rule.
>Hunt for the Wilderpeople
damm I memoryholded that mediocre shit why did you brought it back
What is new zealand humour? I dont really know much about the people of new zealand.
australian humour but with an inferiority complex
So Australian humor? Every Australian I've talked to here is thin skinned as fuck. The dish it out but can't take it type

Stop confusing people from Sydney with Australians

Cool. i'll look into to it. I always find it strange how a culture's sense of humour can change and at times very quickly.

I tried watching it, I really did. But by the time I got to Sam Rockwell and Rebel Wilson doing the speeches I was just about done.
It was a bizarre movie. I went in expecting a satire but it's really a Wes Anderson pastiche where Nazis are silly little goofballs.
It's very different from the book it's adapting too. In the book Jojo and the gnomish girl are the same age and he fucks her and keeps her hidden in his attic long after the war ends.

Benigni was catholic tho.
>Your 5 years ban from hollywood ends
>First movie is shit
If The Killer is also bad Fass is finished sadly. He shouldn't have beat that black girl.
Reviews are saying The Killer is one of Fincher's lesser movies if not his worst so it's not looking too good for him.
He'd rather have a victory at Le Man's.
>OH N-
wait he actually started racing cars?
Yeah, he developed a love for race car driving right around the time people started pointing out he kicked the living shit out of a previous girlfriend
wasnt it a moron though? she should count herself lucky to get a famous white guy to fuck her and just keep her fucking mouth closed or better yet actively defend him

He has a starring role in a Fincher film. Not a great Fincher film but that's pretty good
He just can't differentiate a good project from a bad one and obviously just shows up for a paycheck.
Granted, Bale used to do that and appeared in a lot of shlock but managed to come out on top.

Hacka Waititi
Does he mean it's something like airplane/naked gun/etc?
If r/Discussing Film of all places hates it,
I can’t even imagine how terrible it must be.
LOL
As expected from the producer of Our Flag Means Death.
isn't that pirate show about trannies?
Yeah just like with Jojo Rabbit he specialises in lying about historical events and hand waving it away with “it’s just a joke bro”.
He made Onepiece?
fassbender would've liked xer if xhe was black
Kinda funny how much wokes hate green book
>source?
>trust me bro
Wow!
It's been mentioned in a bunch of the preview reviews. Even if it's been hacked out, it was part of the movie.
Samoa has a big chud culture. No, seriously
>trannies
I will now not watch your movie
Does Fassbender just have the worst agent of all time or what, dude's filmography is absolutely cursed
He relaxed around blacks
Wonder how many trannies are in the original real life story this is based from.
Does he give himself a role in this one too? Because is acting is somehow more insufferable than his storytelling.
Yes and apparently he's really bad in it
>Does he give himself a role in this one too?
From the poster
Cool!
not a surprise, jojo rabbit sucks cock too
>omg what if hitler was quirky xD *raises spork*
Taika has never made a good film and never will.
Has anybody obliterated their own goodwill as fast as this guy?
This dude was going to shape the MCU's future, get a blank cheque to do a Star Wars movie. They were going to let him do big budget Akira for fucks sake!
Now I don't think I'd want to even watch a short made by the guy.
>Akira
I swear that production is cursed. From Josh Trank to this guy, their careers went down the drain the moment they signed on to that project.
Unironically Akira needs Fincher, Spielberg or Blomkamp.
Any of these Taika/Trank types will not do anything close to a straight adaptation and are instead going to do some "take" on it which is ridiculous.
Spielberg, Fincher and Blomkamp would at least be reasonably close to the source material and now how to make it technically impressive.
Blomkamp has developed Lucas-Jackson disease, an unfortunate disorder that causes directors to want to shoot everything in greenscreen and CGI the fuck out of the film.
It’s fatal to people’s directing careers and there no known cure, sadly.
Blomkamp's death spiral is actually worse than Taika's, he's just not personally as in your face and obnoxious
blomkamp was pretty obnoxious during his die antwoord era.
it all just got memory holed.
I'm sure he was bad but he doesn't have epic zany guy as his public persona like Taika
Curse of the Fassbender. The Killer will be finchers worst
he was never funny
Never saw the reason why Thor Ragnarok was praised. It sucked and was no better than the previous ones
There was a rumor that Taika would be back for Thor 5. That is probably not happening now.
At the very least that Star Wars movie is certainly dead, for all that franchises faults whenever someone lined up to make a movie for them drops a stink bomb they put a bullet in them immediately
Flight of the Conchords show was funny. What we do in the Shadows movie was great. I haven't seen anything else he's been involved in.
The vampire one was successful because it's vampires and it's funny and horror fans will watch anything.
The WW2 one was WW2 one and involves garden gnomes so it's a hit. It's also interesting in a Wes Anderson kind of way.
The Thorslop one was cringy but it's MCUslop so people will watch.
But now we really get to see if his career is worth anything or he already ran out of steam
Notice he only achieved success after using his indigenous name. Being gnomish no longer confers any advantage in Hollywood.
>Fricking
He used to make good movies. Then he got Marvel money, a hot celebrity gf and now makes slop. Successful people struggle to be funny.
Taika Watiti has never made anything decent without Jemaine Clement, someone who has already proven himself independently.
Boy was good. Wilderpeople was fine. It really was Marvel Money and Rita Ora's perfect tits that broke him.
Dude really threaded the needle pulling off a wife upgrade of that caliber just as his stock nosedived
>Rita Ora
>a hot celebrity g
>/misc/ is trying to gaslight me into thinking this ugly moron is some sort of trophy wife
el oh el
>not googling her nudes
>realises career is about to return to regional comedies
>proposes to keep her in the bag
Smart move
Such an overrated hack. I have no idea how people were fooled into thinking he was a good filmmaker for so long.
I really don't think he gives a shit. He got the oscar, the millions, the LA house and starfucker lifestyle and checked out. Don't blame him
Taika David Cohen fucking blows.
I thought what we do in the shadows was okay but that's entirely because the brown guy from Flight of the Concords was in it. How is he is bad?
jesus christ is that paramedic thing a T-shirt?
I have a feeling the checks will still keep rolling in for Taika.
>A film that tries too desperately to be funny and doesn't try at all to tell an interesting story
So it's like every other film he's made
