    The thing is Nolan and Fincher films are easy to ignore, if you erase their films nothing would change. Tarantino and Kubrick fans are very annoying but otherwise I don’t care and Scorsese is fine even though Francis Ford Coppola exists.

    Spielberg (and George Lucas also somewhat) on the other hand basically ruined director driven films and consolidated the studio’s search for “blockbusters”. Everything you hate about the soullessness of movemaking, basically as Jodorowsky put it “industrial filmmaking” can be traced back to Spielberg (and a bit of Lucas)

    The answer is clearly Spielberg.

        Nolan and Fincher are auteurs(even if they're inconsistent filmmakers) trying to get by in a horrendous studio system created by Spielberg and Lucas. What's their influence? That movies should be serious? Considering movies are increasingly getting kiddified, I'd say that's not an issue.

      Both George and Steve mentioned how they lament the direction Hollywood went after their movies in how films are no longer about the artform or examining the human condition, but are now theme park rides for studios. At the very least, they were self aware of their impact on the industry, bad as well as good. As for director driven films, you could probably blame George more but that's not entirely his fault. All he wanted was to control his movies the studios didn't care about and with merchandising not being the big thing it is today after Star Wars, they nor him could have foreseen the explosion in popularity it had which turned him into a billionaire. As a result of him becoming rich outside Hollywood, the system became so controlled that nothing like him will ever happen ever again.

    Nolan. I’m convinced that Tenet was one big practical joke by him. That shit was so fricking dumb and contrived, made worse by what seems like intentionally bad sound mixing. Couldn’t understand a word anybody was saying and even then, HALF THE CAST were wearing masks.

      I wouldn't be surprised if that "movie" makes a bunch of people's "Most Disappointing films of the 2020's so far" or "Worst films of the 2020's so far" lists. The film is so emotionally absent, the sound mixing is legitimately terrible to the point where you can't hear shit even on a 7.1 surround sound, and the concept of inverse entropy is so fricking moronic, especially with that big "battle" at the end that looked like a paintball arena or something.

    Tarantino.

    Hasn't made anything good since Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill and even that's stretching it. We would never have thinly disguised feet and Black fetishism mixed into blatant ripoffs of better films, movies, genres and directors etc. Anybody who writes a scene of a person sucking a Black folk dick in any context or makes an entire movie to appease his israeli masters by filming Nazi's getting massacred violently so they can jerk off is more in need of an ass-kicking rather than having continued access to celluloid, either real or digital. Quinton's autism pickled his brain.

        Steve Buscemi did more for Tarantino. Travolta hadn't had a hit movie since the 70s before Quinton came along and was doing the Look Who's Talking series. Him and Uma Thurman owe Quinton a lot, but Travolta went right back to irrelevancy after Pulp Fiction. Uma at least got 2 films out of only having to give Tarantino her foot to rub for 2 minutes.

                Although I prefer Fincher in almost every way, the notion that Spielberg is a bad director really has more to do with the genres and stories he has chosen to adapt than his actual ability behind the camera.
                And "blockbusters" are actually quite traditional for the industry so he wasn't exactly doing anything radical, but then again maybe that's why a lot of people on Cinemaphile aren't into him.

        He s a soulless hack. His best movie, Pulp Fiction, was a collaboration, the editor contributing greatly, and that absence shows greatly in his subsequent works. He can put together an entertaining profitable movie, and press some of your buttons, but that's it.

        According to his own agenda, he will do one more movie (of the 10 he held himself to). After that, we will see what his reputation is.

          I can see where you're coming from with the soulless thing even though I disagree, but you can't deny that basically no filmmaker can match his immaculate filmography in terms of consistency. The guy has never made a movie below "very good". I understand that it's a bit silly to rank an artist's worth by consistency but it's gotta count for something. He's also been the writer of basically every movie he's made, none of those other guys can claim that either. I dunno, it's pretty hard to argue against the guy's talent.

                Sure, which worked in Pulp Fiction when the only real world punching bag he set up to get absolutely bloodied were the gun store owners, and it's just implied. His latest movies are centered around the concept, and I don't want to watch the movie equivalent of Interactive Buddy, but a Nazi/Southerner/Manson.

                Wrong. He's doing it for the industry, just like Tim Burton. Both names have become synonymous with a certain type of flanderized paint-by-numbers product that could pretty much be made by AI algorythms at this point.

                Second of all, when I say "care" I mean it in the most genuine sense of the word. Think about how many people went to film school because of QT for it to become a joke. Taxi driver is as old as any Spielberg movies and is as relevant as ever. Fight club will always be mandatory viewing for any guy. Do I really have to talk about Batman?

                Sure most people know of Spielbergs 40 year old blockbusters but they aren't nearly as important or impactful as the above for people who aren't older Gen X or Boomers.

            Here's my opinion on Spielberg. He's one of the most gifted directors out there in terms of Camerawork and Blocking. Freakishly adept at milking the emotion out of a scene. He makes Nolan look like an amateur. Yet, I very rarely find myself discussing his films. As I've grown older there's less of his films I rewatch. Most of his serious works seem brainless and even tactless because he's in "I must entertain" mode all the time. It results in melodrama and shlocky moments in films where it absolutely shouldn't be there (Schindler's list and SPR for example). It's also why he has completely fallen off as he got older because he tried to do more mature stuff/passion projects in order to be viewed among greats but all of it is neither entertaining nor profound.

              He can do mass entertainment of course but IMO Batman trilogy was a rapid descent in quality after the Begins and Heath's performance as good as it was might still be the 2nd or 3rd best Joker performance (and that's only counting cinema). What's Nolan's most iconic movie moment for normies? The spinning top in Inception? It's just not on the same level for me. But Nolan and Speilberg are probably the two most alike on the list in terms of success.

                I like Heath's performance but prefer the others. But you guys are right.

        Memento, Insomnia or The Prestige have more depth and soul than anything Spielberg has ever made.

        >Scorcese is a kino master
        Why do people keep pushing this meme? He hasn't been good in decades.

        >He hasn't been good in decades.
        Neither has Spielberg, what's your point? He made enough good movies, more than directors than have only good movies under their belt but were less proficient like the Coen brothers or Mel Gibson.
        Spielberg makes like 2 movies a year and hasn't done anything worth re watching.
        The man is a more subtle (read dishonest) and less entertaining Michael Bay.

          Scorsese sucks now. He's become senile. I don't care about Spielberg one way or the other.

    As Godard put it better than I can
    >Most of the time there is no mystery at all, and no beauty—just makeup. Schindler’s List is a good example of making up reality. It’s Max Factor. It’s color stock described in black and white, because labs can’t afford to make real black and white. Spielberg thinks black and white is more serious than color. Of course you can do a movie in black and white today, but it’s difficult, and black and white is more expensive than color. So he keeps faithful to his system—it’s phony thinking. To him it’s not phony, I think he’s honest to himself, but he’s not very intelligent, so it’s a phony result. I saw a documentary, not a good one, but at least you get the real facts about Schindler. [Spielberg] used this man and this story and all the israeli tragedy as if it were a big orchestra, to make a stereophonic sound from a simple story.
    >HE doesn’t give you historical fact—He’s not capable. Hollywood is not capable. In fact, I’m not capable of doing the picture I should be able to do. I’m capable of aiming for it and making part of it, two-thirds or sometimes nine-tenths. Spielberg is not capable of doing Schindler’s List the way a regular director, not a genius but a director like William Wyler—who was able, just after the war, to make The Best Years of Our Lives, which today, when you see it, you’re amazed by the fact that in Hollywood some honest people and good craftsmen were able to reach someone. Cinema as a whole has greater potential than the Wyler picture, but he was 100 percent his potential. Today, that has disappeared. If there was a race, William would do the 100 yards in twelve seconds; Spielberg would do it in two minutes.

      So half of Spielberg movies, the other half being proto-reddit/MCU homosexualry?

      It's not edgy. It only satirizes edge and is thus dishonest. It's also quite reddit-esque, although I'd be lying if Kill Bill wasn't a good series.

        Tarantino is 100% sincere in his edge. He thinks it's fun

          There's a big difference between "fun" edge like Tarantino's gallons of blood spurting from a cut finger, and edge in the vein of the Exorcist or Hostel.

    My favorite director and all of his films were purged from this timeline when CERN fired up last week. I forget his name and face and all of his movies, but I had many of them on VHS and laserdisc. But even those are missing from my collection now.
