>Take Jaws as an example. It’s shit, was always shit, but critics fawned over it and it made a ton of money. The first five minutes are great and then it gets worse and worse and ends with the shark exploding. It’s a cartoon. It’s not suspenseful or a thriller. It’s not horror. I think audiences see that now. It’s the reverse of my career. The Thing and The Fog, both hated by critics but now considered to be classics of the genre. Jaws is the opposite. In a hundred years all people will remember is the theme, if that.
I love when old men get bitter and say things they’d never say when they needed their careers.
t. Crypt-Keeper
Based Carpenter putting ~~*spielberg*~~ in his place
The last good thing this homie did was Cigarette Burns nearly 20 years ago.
that's his second to last work, it's not like he made dozens of shitty movies in the meanwhile.
He put out more shit than Spielberg though
last good thing spielberg did was jurassic park 30 years ago
He's always been refreshingly candid. There are interviews on yt w him harshly criticizing Close Encounters and even some of John Ford's techniques. Nowadays directors don't criticize each other and most of them suck
Jaws is really good but Close Encounters has aged like milk. The MC is insufferable and it's agonizing to sit through.
It's a fake quote you fricking moron
Kinda true actually
Jaws is one of Spielberg's most mediocre movies
all spielberg movies are mediocre, thats his thing
except duel
mediocre is being generous, he literally cant into aesthetics
lol neither of those movies are on the level of jaws
HahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HHAHhahHAHAHA
Frick you the thing is better than jaws in every conceivable way
Jaws was big for boomers…but nobody cares about it anymore. The Thing is superior. Spielbargo’s biggest legacy is Indiana Jones atm
I read israelites and was confused but eventually made sense of it
I love JC but who the frick considers the fog to be a horror classic?
No classic but definitely a spooky throwback to old ghost stories. Better than most recent horror films. Has great atmosphere.
For sure, it just seemed like a weird choice when he could’ve picked Halloween or ITMOM instead. Plus I just looked it up and The Fog was one of his more successful films when it released so saying it was hated isn’t really true.
>it just seemed like a weird choice
No, it makes perfect sense. The Fog is something nobody cared about for years but now people are appreciating it more and more. Halloween was always popular so it wouldn't make sense to use that.
I don’t know, man. I love Carpenter, but I think the Fog is shit. I like the concept of a mysterious fog enveloping a sleepy town, and it’s been copied by films and vidya, but Gorton’s Fishermen ghosts are not scary at all.
The fog is dogshit and you should be ashamed for liking that bore fest.
>It’s shit, was always shit
absolutely correct
If somebody said this on Cinemaphile you gays would be calling them a contrarian. I agree with him but Carpenter dickriders are just as bad as spielbergshitters. Nobody will give a frick about the thing or the fog in 100 years either and he’s a pompous b***h to insinuate otherwise.
I just like his movies, anon. Calm down, I agree with you anyway.
the quote is made up, john carpenter never said it, and it is just a shitpost by someone on Cinemaphile
it should be real though
I do this all the time with fake nolan quotes. Gets people so rilled up
>washed up hack desperately seeks attention
I think Jaws still holds up, but it has absolutely lost cultural relevance and impact where as Carpenter's movies have exploded in popularity with time.
When was the last time this Black person actually made a good film? ITMOM?
Retired with a string of awful films on his resume. Frick him. Spielberg continues to make (some) good movies.
Look, we all know Carpenter hasn't made good films since the 90s. But could you stop sucking Spielberg's dick? He doesn't direct himself by the way. It's all his team of intern-slaves.
He's not just a filmmaker. Triple threat. Wrote and composed scores too.
>bro it was actually shit the whole time
And who's this homosexual?
Carpenter is the most based director from the manchild era. At the very least he's the most self aware
>manchild
Where frick do you think you are to speak the tongue of the roastie?
A israelite has a conflict with a Carpenter? This seems familiar.
this quote seems pretty similar to Martin Scorsese, how long until the soiylent brigade equivalent starts talking about how much they HATE JC's work?
It actually reminded me of Kurt Russell.. who coincidentally is sort of Carpenter's go to leading man (or was). Maybe they're on the same page with being unimpressed by a lot of Hollywood shit.
I kinda agree with him, wasn't too impressed by Jaws when I saw it
he's right.
Reminder that his magnum opus is a movie about putting the fate of the entire world in the hands of a disgruntled Boomer
>Reminder that his magnum opus
Which is???
They live, duh
his magnum opus is definitely the thing because he was forced to put more effort into it than his other films but I wouldnt call kurt russell disgruntled
I meant They Live but I still don't get why a Boomer should be trusted with saving the world when their generation are the ones who fricked it over in the first place
what does that even mean? and israelites already had control over britain/usa before ww2
You're one of the first to use the term boomer accurately as Roddy was born in 54. Congratulation, homosexual. You have a little of my respect for that.
Write Spider-Man instead of Spiderman and I'll suck your dick.
>Write Spider-Man instead of Spiderman and I'll suck your dick.
how new are you?
It's not about how new I am, it,s about how autistic.
Write Spider-Man homosexual. DO EEET!
>Take israelites as an example. They're shit, were always shit, but they make a ton of money.
It’s what we all read the first time
The scene with the guys bonding while drinking and the captain delivering the iconic sharks speech is legit film history.
It's very dishonest to pretend it doesn't exist.
This. I get the movie overhyped a bit but it’s not soulless.
Sorry but Spielberg mogs Carpenter when it comes to movies. Call him a israelite all you want but he still mogs Carpenter in every sense you can think of. Carpenter's last movie was Ghost's of Mars from 2001 and it sucked ass. Spielberg's movies have more cultural inprint on cinema history and pop culture than Carpenter would ever dream of. Only autists and incels drool over Carpenter, the rest of the population don't even know who he is
popular is bad is a better heuristic than popular is good, moron.

Spielberg MOGS Carpenter to death. Carpenter cries himself to sleep when he tries to compare himself to Spielberg
oh i get it, it's satire
there isn't a single masterpiece in the entire list infact 80% is mediocre to bad, they thing alone is worth more than all of that put togheter
art is about money and popularity you filthy dumb mutt
Imagine coping this hard. Carpenter is a hack who got lucky
Carpenter's run from Assault on Precinct 13 to Mouth of Madness is as good as a genre director's gets, he just fell off hard afterwards like almost every single other horror director
>Goymutt pavlovian reflexes kick in as he equates popularity and shekels with quality
Kanye West and Asup rocky are more popular than Verdi and Tchaikovsky.
Your move.
>and it sucked ass
and spielbergs ready player one was a fricking masterpiece.
fricking kys sheepo.
>and spielbergs ready player one was a fricking masterpiece.
Agreed.
But Jaws is better than anything Carpenter's ever made.
I haven't seen or thought about Jaws in so long
It's pretty much just a few reference memes at this point so he's not wrong. There was just a famous Japanese manga author that died in the ocean and had his body eaten by sharks and I think no one in his pinned thread made any reference to Jaws, that's how little impact it has on zoomers. The Thing does seem bigger now.
>looking for a movie reference in light of a recent tragic event
Just how autistic are you?
It was the guy that did Yugioh and there were about a thousand people saying he was sent to the shadow realm, what fricking website do you think you are on homosexual
No shit, that is to be expected. My question still stands, how autistic are you to look for a jaws reference, sperg?
I wasn't looking for a reference, I read a thread and then in retrospect realized no reference had been made because I read another thread that concerned the film Jaws
you stupid c**t
Sure you did.
stupid c**t
You're right
You're too dumb to get his point and probably gay
>The Thing explodes at the end
what the frick did he mean by this?
I liked this movie.
Doom aped the atmosphere hard.
man, carpenter hates israelites so much it is incredible. i just wish he were a conscious anti-semite.
Not surprising, maybe it started because Cronenberg snubbed him in that 'masters of horror' meeting.
That's mean. 🙁 Who did Cronenberg actually invite then?
Ghosts of Mars =best Mars movie
Mars Attack is better
it was a good theme though
clearly jealous
Great whites don't "silent creeper" attack. They fricking jump out of the water and bring a whole lot of "frick you" down onto the victim.
Thank you "shark week" for showing me that.
>Cinemaphile will cum over a moronic fake quote so long as a picture of John Carpenter is attached
You are all mongoloids, no wonder your taste is horseshit.
Can someone please tell me how grandpa Joe managed to still look the same after all these years? What moisturizer does he uses?
>I love when old men get bitter and say things they’d never say when they needed their careers.
I used to hate seeing that with some directors that i like, falling into such a state. Now its becoming an amusement to me, when they stopped giving a frick and say whatever they want.
Holy shit this is kino, I gotta watch the whole commentary now.
But Jaws is good
>Take Jaws as an example. It’s shit
wrong
>It’s not suspenseful or a thriller. It’s not horror
correct
He's absolutely right.
I have always thought the same about jaws.
Spielberg is a no talent homosexual that makes slop for the masses. Carpenter is one of the few great US directors that would have existed with or without the US movie industry boom forced by glowies due to the necessity to soft power the world to death.
He never did big budget shlocks either.
The guy who wrote the book that jaws is based on and worked on the movie dedicated the rest of his life to undoing the damage he did to shark reputation because sharks are really goodbois.
I think 90% of why sharks are going extinct is from chinks and asiatics killing them for shark fin soup, nothing to do with the movie
Yeah but sharks have a terrible public image because of the movie even though dogs kill like 300 times as many people per year.
Both chinks and asiatics got prepped up by homosexual americana trying to undermine russians.
Now you're probably getting double teamed by punished Russia and prepped up chinks before the decade ends.
Beautiful, ironic, justice.
>the quote is fake
>nobody googled it itt
jeez I know it's summer but come on now you morons
.
>and ends with the shark exploding
I love The Thing, but the scene of the dinosaur thing just coming out of the ground and staying still while MacReady blows it up is the worst part of that movie. Jaws did it better.
He's 100% right
The fog is such shit
>B-but it's a classic ghost eto-
Shut the frick up it's boring sd frick
I was really disappointed by it as well
>tfw he was never in the water with the sharks when the Indianapolis sunk, chief
"jaws" is a perfect film
Spielberg a shit
>It’s shit, was always shit
>It’s not suspenseful or a thriller. It’s not horror.
That doesn't mean it's shit. I'm not afraid of sharks eating me in the ocean and so Jaws is not a horror movie to me like it is to some ocean-dwellers, it's a sunny summer movie about men dealing with fear in different ways, that lets me dream of the times of beach towns that relied entirely on the money brought in by tourists each summer, an industry that was directly affected by and partly sunk by the movie. It's a fantastic movie because of that, and the atmosphere and structure of the movie is miles ahead of The Fog. And I say that as someone who'd love it if The Fog was better, because I fricking love stories that takes place in seaside towns and ghost stories. It should be my favourite movie, but it's simply not well-constructed and executed. Jaws is. If it had been adapted by an inferior director then it would have sucked because of the shitty sideplots like the adultery and tax evasion or whatever the frick it was that the book had.
>And I say that as someone who'd love it if The Fog was better, because I fricking love stories that takes place in seaside towns and ghost stories. It should be my favourite movie, but it's simply not well-constructed and executed.
Watch Messiah of Evil or Dead and Buried then
Will do. Thanks anon.
Dead and buried is kino
>mfw I got halfway through the first episode of the netflix The Mist adaptation before realising my brain was confusing words and I wasn't getting a whole show about the kids of a town finding out why evil sailor ghosts are killing people
Why would anyone want a whole show about people going bugnuts and turning on each other in a mall? The Fog is clearly the one that should get a whole show so you can have flashbacks or let the research into the town history and finding a way to appease the ghosts take its time instead of feeling so rushed and happening within in one night basically. The Mist is just made worse by being drawn out, The Fog could be given its time to shine among the ghost shows.
I know this is a fake quote but they're both talentless hacks.
>Ready Player One
>Ghosts on Mars
Christ..
100% accurate. In the present day The Thing is far more highly regarded than Jaws.
He’s right. Jaws is just a well done popcorn kids movie like Jurassic park
I don't feel like the man who made Escape From New York/LA and Big Trouble in Little China can complain about movies being cartoonish. As much as I love The Thing, Carpenter is a giant pleb in this situation. Jaws is an amazing movie and will be remembered longer than anything he's ever made.
I think the real pleb is the one responding to a made-up quote.
The Thing is for warm summers when you want think cool thoughts. Jaws is for cold winter days when you want to think of warm beach days.
i respect carpenter for being a workaday director who just says his feelings about people like spielberg and cronenberg without all that hollywood fake nice bullshit
>Take israelites as an example. They're shit, was always shit, but critics fawned over them and they made a ton of money. The first five generations are great and then it gets worse and worse and ends with the holocaust. It’s a cartoon. It’s not suspenseful or a thriller. It’s not horror. I think audiences see that now. It’s the reverse of my career. The Thing and The Fog, both hated by critics but now considered to be classics of the genre. israelites are the opposite. In a hundred years all people will remember is the nose, if that.
The only reason The Thing and The Fog look comparatively better today is because movies are so shit now.
He's right, tho
Meanwhile Spielberg is making kino like minority report and war of the worlds while carpenter is making trash like ghosts of mars
