Hey everyone, another edition of the “Directors Talk” roundtable (our series where we trade our thoughts on the biggest directors working today) with PG Cooper and Ian the Cool is up!
This time up is director Ridley Scott. Between this, and my two impending Lambcast appearances discussing the Alien franchise and Blade Runner, it’s going to be quite the Ridley Scott festival these next few weeks. LOL. Thank goodness I’m a big fan.
Can’t wait for PROMETHEUS! Scott always married action and style…
Yeah, Prometheus looks pretty sick…
If you haven’t seen the “TED Conference” viral video with Guy Pearce, check it out… It’s awesome
Left my comments over there, Fogs. Thanks.
You’re the man Mike
Nice discussion.
Believe Alien to be original classic, hence best.
Enjoy Scott as producer too as in Clay Pigeons.
Hadnt heard of that one… quick IMDb shows it has an impressive cast though, I’ll check it out if it crosses my path!
Will go and have a read! Despite some duds, he’s still one of my all time favourite directors.
Absolutely, me too. And thanks for checking it out Jaina, thats excellent!
I avoided Kingdom of Heaven, because of the bad reviews it got…
after watching the directors cut, all I can say is that I no longer take much notice of some of the poncey paper reviews, especially the Guardian, I mean, they gave Fantastic Four 4 stars!! WTF?
Anyway, Kingdom of Heaven, sumptuous, epic, and for me, better than Gladiator.
Now… I – I almost agree. But in defense of whatever bad reviews you read… the theatrical cut was supposedly BAD, and then the Directors cut was what got released to home video and supposedly it made all the difference.
I hesitated to agree because Gladiator is awesome too. So, I dont know that I’ve given that enough thought. And I’ve only watched KoH once. Though it was pretty recent.
It totally was epic though. Flat out awesome A+ seriously. Great, great flick.
