You could enjoy one BRIEF moment of love…

WE were accomplices in murder before the day we were even BORN!

Fox…

LIQUIDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Type "vulgar auteur" into Google and have fun.

David Hayter also directed an unwatchable Twilight knockoff with Werewolves named, appropriately enough, WOLVES, that co-starred Khal Drogo.

RIP The Catch. I kinda liked that show, it was basically the Shonda version of one of the "Blue Sky" USA shows.

Dude Scott Glenn has been doing martial arts for like 40 years, he was doing the "ass-kicking white guy martial artist" thing in the 80's.

You know that's not true. The knives were out the second a white guy was cast, and to pretend anything else is wilful ignorance.

He's a good actor. Watch Banshee if you're unsure.

DOUGIE

Who cares? He can direct individual moments, but I'm watching a movie. If he wants to direct music videos that's his perogative, but I have no interest in watching 12 videos in a row stapled together with no cohesion and then pretend its a film.

Harlin can direct the shit out of action, though. Cliffhanger and Long Kiss Goodnight are both packed with awesome, ridiculous action.

Whalberg is miscast, but the rest of that movie is pretty great. Michael Pena doing his thing, Elias Koteas practically stripping the paint off the walls with how gonzo he is despite having like ten lines of dialogue, Danny Glover and Nead Beatty having constant ham-offs, Fuqua's gorgeous direction of some pretty

2 is crap outside of the ending sequence. It's no better then the other shitty Die Hard knockoffs of the time, with an added dose of misanthropic violence the franchise never needed to boot. John is a prick who causes more and more problems for everyone around him, every other lead character is an asshole, etc.

goddamn commies in my goddamn sci-fi romances

Not with a Dan Akroyd performance that ridiculous. He totally makes the movie.

Niccol is too didactic. I like Gattaca a lot, but shit like "I didn't save anything for the trip back" and every conversation with Uma Thurman shows his need to tip his hand about the themes over and over.

SUPERGREEN

Except it's so clearly a Woo movie that your argument doesn't work. It's pretty much all of his tropes and stylistic flourishes elevated to 11.
