Post by: Enl on July 03, 2009, 04:16:58 AM: I'm surprised this hasn't been announced to be remade yet. Truly a film too good that even Hollywood wouldn't dare touch its magic juice. :bow2

Having checks placed in his hands by production companies doing remakes of his masterpieces.

He's apparently got four new movies in the works, but who knows if any of them will actually be any good or not.

Being mediocre.

You're mostly right. I think, before anyone judges him, they should try making several movies that score acres of fans and money, more or less CREATING a genre that makes billions for Hollywood, and still having their balls driven over by the studios repeatedly, being given meager, shitty little multiple-movie on a shoestring budget contracts forever. I would not be surprised if he's lost hope.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on July 05, 2009, 06:18:25 AM: I think he's just lost his passion. Hell, I liked Ghost of Mars, but even I could say he was phoning it in, sorta. Not to mention that three of his last four movies were remakes, two of which were remakes of his own earlier films (Escape from LA is practically a mad libs version of Escape from NY, Ghosts of Mars to Assault on Precinct 13, less so).

I don't think he's ever given a crap about his critical reputation, I think he hasn't made anything significant in years is because the times have passed him by, so to speak. Even during the 90's he was making the same kinda films he made in the 80's, more or less the exact same way. I'm sure he could get a film going if he wanted to, but I don't believe he has the patience to put up with any studio meddling, or that he's capable/willing to change his methods. And I doubt seriously that he's chomping at the bit to make a neutered, PG-13 version of a John Carpenter movie in 2009 to appease the kids who weren't even born when he was in his heyday.

He said he signed up to the Halloween remake for purposes of quality check. He signed the contract, they gave him a quality check.
BTW, I understand he's a big videogamer now, loves his Xbox I hear. So if there's an old-sounding guy who's waaaaaaaaaaaay more awesome then you dealing ownage at Halo, now you know why.

Post by: chronovore on July 06, 2009, 06:20:59 AM: I think he cared, and it did him in. Check out this documentary if you haven't already:

BTW, watched my standard def DVD of Big Trouble last night, and really enjoyed it but MAN the subtitles are half assed. Skipped lines, truncated lines... if you had to go just by the subtitles, you'd have big trouble <insert little china punchline here>.

thanks very much for the link. Good times.

and I do believe that Adrianne Barbeauu is the oldest women that I would gleefully ravish if given the opportunity. That is the GILF gold standard right there.

Post by: chronovore on July 06, 2009, 10:09:05 PM: Yeah, I agree. Back in the day she was insanely hot, but even in her run during Carnivale she was pretty sexy. "GILF" - LOL.

I'm a reasonable guy. But, I've just experienced a very unreasonable post.
