I was just thinking about how much I hate Tim Burton earlier.

Last Burton's film I saw was Sweeney Todd, after that I checked out, and don't really care for him. Why would you specifically hate him?

I had to look at his filmography to work out the last film of his I saw. It was his remake of his own film, Frankenweenie, which I didn't like. That movie is fucking 10 years old. He's barely done a thing since. I don't think he's reviled, he's forgotten.

Tim Burton falls into a weird category for me. He had some lightning in a bottle moments and actually created kino but he severely overstayed his welcome and never evolved. On the contrary he seems to have been getting worse and worse. However, much like Shyamalan, I have to respect the guy on principle for sticking to his guns, not giving a shit, and making whatever the fuck he wants. I think Snyder belongs to this category too.

>I have to respect the guy on principle for sticking to his guns, not giving a shit, and making whatever the fuck he wants.
I have to disagree. You see directors like Lynch who has only gotten better with time because he was willing to evolve, and his stuff is just as abstract and weird as ever. I can't respect creatives who can't evolve.

Kevin Smith

I wouldn't say reviled, but certainly diminished

Hopefully hes got some kino for the Burton/Depp redemption arc.

Burton's downfall started with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ever since then his movies have been absolutely hideous and horrible. He do something like Ed Wood, small scale and character driven instead of big, retarded spectacles.

>Snyder
Sucks ass. Watch any of his interviews, he's a litteral retard. Michael Bay is way more articulate.

>1994: Same director & writers = Ed Wood (kino)
>2014: Same director & writers = Big Eyes (awful)
I think it's just age. It catches up to us all, unfortunately

I liked the Big Fish...

Kevin Smith is a weird case because people only talk about his movies in the context of his movies. No one ever compares his work to any other piece of media outside his niche.

David Lynch and M Night Shyamalan are the same way but at least they attempt serious work instead of Smith making the same stoner comedy twenty different times.

>Pee Wee
>Batman
>Batman Returns
>Edward Scissorhands
>Ed Wood
>Mars Attacks
>Sleepy Hollow
>Big Fish
He used to make kino.

Oh, and Beetlejuice of course.

>being absorbed by your ego and ignoring your duty to the customers is treated as a respectable quality in 2022
People want to lazily chalk the entertainment industry's problems up to companies being money-hungry (not delving into their delusion strategies for getting money, which would actually require some understanding of the culture that they're commenting on), but this is an equally large problem and is a form of greed. Executives aren't the only people who exploit others.

One of Bob Iger's main goals was to make the creator more powerful than the businessman in Disney. That's a big part of how Disney became a woke company that's hostile towards customers. There's nothing based about it.

>duty to the customers
This is the death of art.

Maybe he should stick to documentaries like Herzog

Zemeckis is making too much animated kids bullshit. I did like Flight and Allied, he should make more stuff like that.

You people have had a hundred years worth the socialist art programs to prove this point, including half a dozen communist countries. Show me this artistic renaissance of yours. Surely it must dwarf the accomplishments of customer-oriented art in free market environments, right?
