Well I guess we can derail this thread all we want, it's not like too many are paying attention to it.
Deadpool was so funny I was still laughing at it for days. It demonstrates that script still matters.
You my friend, are a Tarantino fan. I wonder how many IRON have actually seen Reservoir Dogs? We'll have to ask Mr. Pink and see what he has to say about it... oh wait, everybody died. Unfortunately, I believe Quentin will be hanging up his film making credentials soon. His formula is popular enough, he takes very believable scenarios and tweeks the characters into the surreal. Normal attitudes and emotion are either turned up on full, or turned down to the nonexistent. It makes very interesting characters, but living in the world of the PC police and the vacant minds of Hollywood, it's made it pretty much impossible for him to do what he does best. He'll quit before he compromises his craft.
Empire Records was a tribute to our desperate struggle to hang on to tradition and the things we love. The small independent record store was getting swallowed by the corporate giant, and they banded together to save the vinyl hock shop. The music was great, and the characters were expertly layered. They saved the day, but were later blindsided by the internet when Amazon swallowed all the corporate giants. Empire ended up a snack on the menu of the millennium food chain.
Empire Records was an important launching pad for Renee Zellweger... it caught the attention of Cameron Crowe who was working on a small project called "Jerry Maguire"... and the rest is history.
HackSlash Sir... I think you and I would be good friends.
