now, y'all need to sit there and be wise. i will agree that both have made better films RECENTLY, but what i'm saying is--and what this thread SHOULD be about--that neither one of them dudes has made a movie as polished and cohesive as The Sixth Sense.

i don't care how long ago it was. i don't care about how funny you think his name is.

his best is BETTER than theirs. GOOD!

though it's a quality film. but i enjoyed or loved Signs, Unbreakable and even The Village. Never got to see Lady In the Water, but The Happening and Airbender were just terrible films. Overall I feel M Night takes very unique and original angles to horror and sci-fi and gets all kinds of unwarranted hate.

I'm really excited M Night, Will and Jaden bout to make a high quality popcorn family action flick, and high-minded critics gunna be salty ass shit when it happens. I'm also relieved racist ass Hollywood aint give up on him, and is still funding his projects. Him going the independent route would struggle 'cause his cinematic vision, IMO, needs that big money.

i wont get into the director agenda posting

I dig Sixth Sense a lot, but Unbreakable has better character depth and I appreciated the pace at which the story unfolds

Now, as far as agendas go:

Oops, looks like the troll bait has fallen off the hook...

that first time i saw it in a theater i was just captivated. grade A film making. Sure on repeated viewings some things have "fallen apart", but yeah whateva whateva... M Night good in my book

need to see it again soon

other than that some of the fat could've been trimmed. it felt taxing on my first viewing, but all in all, felt like a great movie.

for TDKR, i was submerged in the movie, entertained throughout, and it whizzed by like a 90 minute flick, but all in all, didn't come close to impressing me the way Unbreakable did.

the 2 could from each other.

Hell, Tony Scott directed Tarantino better than Tarantino in True Romance.

Still, in this round of Director Warz, I'd go:
1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Memento
4. Unbreakable
5. Sixth Sense

I could see an argument for Unbreakable at #2 but I think Reservoir Dogs locks down the top spot.

nolan and QT dare you to offer very basic film criticism because we're all too busy dealing with the sheer spectacle and "FUN" of their films.

momento and pulp fiction were boring stories told in a ultra-stylized way. nothing more.

And no, I'm not saying Memento or Pulp Fiction are Kane's equal but the same style over substance complaints have, rightfully, been lobbed Welles's way. Personally, I still love Citizen Kane even though the story itself is a rather standard rags-to-riches-to-rags tale.

Part of the challenge of modern filmmaking, since most every story has been done to death by now, is trying to find new ways to present the same old stories. If the style didn't work for you, fine, I'm not going to argue that it was some revelation in terms of story. But I found the style with which they told the stories to be highly entertaining and I believe credit is due for that.

cause if so, i do

Your argument has you coming very close to the Latte Sipping set's argument as to why art house films are better than popcorn films. Yes, Unbreakable is a deeper humanity film than Reservoir Dogs but that IMO isn't an argument as to why it is necessarily better. That just means their focus is different, it is not a reason why, on its face, one film is better than another.

While Nolan's spectacle does little for me (one reason why I liked Shutter Island better than the ultimately similar Inception), Night's looks at basic levels of humanity doesn't outweigh the style of Pulp Fiction or Memento for me. And I just think Reservoir Dogs is just a better film and doesn't suffer from a major flaw like the rather jarring ending of Unbreakable.

>at a very basic level. no wonder bruce willis best
>performances came in two night dogg films

this is very true. the humanness of Nolan's characters gets lost in the grander of cinematic universe he creates, and just down right shitty development of the characters, while Tarantino, with the exception of Inglorious Basterds, literally drowns his characters in the caricature of his dialogue/monologues.

>nolan and QT dare you to offer very basic film criticism

you wrote that as though that's a bad quality

agree on Momento, just no on Pulp Fiction. but again you wrote ultra-stylized like that was a bad thing

Sixth Sense? Yes.
Unbreakable? Better than Sixth Sense in my book.
Signs? The first three quarters is better than the first two, potentially... it just massively falls apart at the end.

But I'd put Unbreakable over Jackie Brown, imo the best QT flick, and I'd put Unbreakable and Sixth Sense over The Prestige, imo the best Nolan flick.

You could leave EVERYTHING the same and just make Joaquin vs. The Alien scene a little more even and realistic and the film would have been MOUNDS better. Give it a full fledged effective 3rd act, MAYNE that movie woulda been bananas.

M. Night got lazy on that one.

It might be some of Night's best work.

One of the reasons that the ending is so disappointing (on top of being stupid) is because the first half or so of the movie is so good.

----
NBA MOCK DRAFT #1 - https://thecourierclass.com/whole-shebang/2017/5/18/2017-nba-mock-draft-1-just-lotto-and-lotta-trades

did you want more of a battle between humans/Mel's family in the end, or just the water angle kilt it.

And the cut in half wife was straight out of an ER episode so it wasn't as effective for me. Surviving the asthma attack and having it save him also got a groan.

I felt like it built up very well and then the payoff was nothing but nonsense and pulled punches. It's kind of like Night couldn't think of an ending and just said, "Fuck it. War of the Worlds had an anti-climatic ending too so whatever..."

Honestly, for half of the movie I was hoping it wouldn't be aliens at all. I think the movie I was hoping for finally came out last year in "Take Shelter" (although that was more art house than Night's more mainstream touch.)

----
NBA MOCK DRAFT #1 - https://thecourierclass.com/whole-shebang/2017/5/18/2017-nba-mock-draft-1-just-lotto-and-lotta-trades

Like I said, it's really everything building up to the aliens entering the house. It starts slipping there, and then COMPLETELY derails when you see the alien holding the kid.

I rewatched it a few weeks ago... and even TODAY knowing how it ends, I so thoroughly enjoyed so much of it. It's his funniest movie, and maybe his scariest too. He mixes the jumps in with the slow burn scares flawlessly. I show the scene with Gibson in the cornfield to my tech class for sound editing/mixing. The technical aspects of this film (again, until the alien) are SO first rate.

It just fucks up so badly at the end. His career has never been the same since that alien nabbed that kid.

I'd go:

5. SIXTH SENSE
4. JACKIE BROWN
3. RESERVOIR DOGS
2. UNBREAKABLE
1. PRESTIGE

But if we're doing overall average, I'd go Tarantino > Night > Nolan. I just feel that Night's missteps are greater than Tarantino's missteps. And it weighs down his average.

(these rankings are all just my opinion. You're more than welcome to disagree)

Tarantino:
1 Reservoir Dogs
2 Jackie Brown
3 Inglourious Basterds
4 Pulp Fiction
5 Kill Bill Volume 1
6 Death Proof
7 Kill Bill Volume 2

M. Night:
1 Unbreakable
2 The Sixth Sense
3 Signs
4 The Village
5 The Happening

(I still have not seen Lady in the Water or The Last Airbender oh, or his early jawns)

Nolan:
1 The Prestige
2 Inception
3 Batman Begins
4 The Dark Knight
5 Memento
6 The Dark Knight Rises
7 Insomnia

(much like Night, I'm missing the early jawns)

Overall:
N1 > MNS1 > T1> T2 > MNS2 > T3 > T4 > N2> MNS3 > N3 > T5 > N4 > MNS4 > T6 > T7 > N5 > N6 > N7 > MNS5

It isn't fair with me not having seen 2 of Manoj's cuts, but if you drop the two lowest ranking QT & Nolan films.... statistically in this ranking, for me it goes QT > Nolan > M Night.... but Nolan only topping Night by one point. Without dropping, it goes Night > QT > Nolan. Now I really wanna catch WATER and AIRBENDER, because even though there's a 'genda goin' on here, I think these three directors size up very well against each other.

And was really shocked at how much I disliked it. Believe me, I didn't expect - or want - to hate it. I bought it one day when I saw it on sale because I remembered liking it when it came out and thought highly of it. Took it home, popped it in, and couldn't believe how much I didn't feel it this time.

I certainly wouldn't have bought something just to hate on it. I was just really surprised at how sugary it was. To me, it was just a notch above Lifetime or Hallmark channel status. I was legitimately disappointed. I cringed a lot. HJO's acting was grating as fuck this time around.

I remember really liking Unbreakable at the time, too. I'll eventually get around to watching it again, but after this, I'll scale back my expectations a bit.

...when people are judging films.

The experience of watching Memento or Sixth Sense will never be the same after the first viewing. I don't think the power of the first experience should be downgraded because a film doesn't hold up over multiple viewings.

To me it's like saying a certain dish isn't good because it isn't as good after you put it in the fridge and reheat it later.

NBA MOCK DRAFT #1 - https://thecourierclass.com/whole-shebang/2017/5/18/2017-nba-mock-draft-1-just-lotto-and-lotta-trades

I don't think I agree.

I hadn't seen it a single time since it came out in 1999. I was 14 at the time. The positive recollection I had of the movie was the positive recollection of a 14 year old. I'm 27 now and obviously approach the way I watch movies much differently than the way I did when I was in middle school. If I was 27 in 1999, I'm pretty sure I would have had the same reaction as I had last month.

Knowing what I know now, I no longer think The Sixth Sense is a good movie, even though I used to. The point is, opinions evolve - I don't see any reason why I need to hold firm to the the first opinion I ever had of a movie.

The food analogy doesn't really hold up imo. Food is -meant- to be eaten in one sitting. Well-made movies (and books and music) should theoretically should be made in a way that they can be enjoyed repeatedly, at least in my opinion. (A lot of my favorite movies and albums are ones that I was lukewarm on the first time I saw/heard them, for example..)

Perhaps but the fact remains that when you watched it now, it was a completely different viewing experience. If you had never seen the film, you might have been more engrossed in the story and you might not have noticed the other stuff. I mean, 14 year old version of you wasn't the only one impressed by Osment's performance; kid got nominated for an Oscar for it.

I don't think all films are made the same. If a film is focused on the first viewing, it shouldn't lose points for that. Requiem for a Dream will never have the same affect on me and I absolutely don't ever want to watch it again but that doesn't make it a worse film.

NBA MOCK DRAFT #1 - https://thecourierclass.com/whole-shebang/2017/5/18/2017-nba-mock-draft-1-just-lotto-and-lotta-trades

i agree the initial impact of watching a film for the very first time, no matter what age, shouldn't be diminished because a much older version of ourselves now views the film in a different light. but...the debuting of an opinion is always subject to (and restricted by) place and time, so no one's trying to, say, DeLorean their way back to 14yrs of age in order to watch and proclaim a different opinion thereby altering reality as they know it (27yr old opinion but within the 14yr old body). cos thats pretty much the only way to change that opinion.
dude. lol.
i do however think anyone is allowed to change their overall opinion on a piece of creative work as the years progress. i dont think BUILDING on an initial opinion and feeling is wrong or automatically tarnishes the first-time experience. its simple as shit and i dont see how it warranted ur posts on it. i mean...its an evolving opinion. the dude stated it plainly. to colour it as WRONG is just...i dunno, stuffy? cos how is an opinion on movies ever locked in for life and without further pontification based on multiple viewings throughout a persons lifetime?
is this real life?

u cant unequivocally state that a 27yr old version of a person watching a film for the first time is guna have the exact SAME reaction as their 14yr old counterpart. thats just dumb. variables are built in to that equation simply becos of a 13yr GAP. hell he coulda watched it for the first time NOW as a 27yr old and hated it, or have been lukewarm instead of the positive reaction his 14yr old self had.

how do you know Requiem won't look and feel different to you on a second viewing if you never actually get around to watching it ever again? that means u have a static opinoin on that movie based on one static viewing, it's an opinion that exists in a bubble. and how u don't understand that is really, really weird. i think its entirely possible (and logical) that while an opinion can change over time, the adoration for a film can still be upheld when it comes to the debut viewing experience (if one is having a positive reaction that is, but what about the negative ones?) i hated "Punch-Drunk Love" the first 3 times i watched it, and it later became my favourite film of all-time by viewing #5 or #6 (ive seen it at least 20 times, and each successive viewing has only BOLSTERED that no. 1 spot for me).

so in essence...i have absolutely no fucking idea what ur on about.

Where did I "state that a 27yr old version of a person watching a film for the first time is guna have the exact SAME reaction as their 14yr old counterpart"?
I wrote that he MIGHT have been engrossed in the story and not focused so much on the acting. To me, knowing the ending of Sixth Sense is a bigger difference than the age of the viewer.

Why do you assume that I haven't tried watching Requiem for a Dream again? I can say that I absolutely don't ever want to watch it again because I've tried and always turn it off.

Perhaps the reason that you don't know what I'm going on about is because you're projecting things that I never said, that don't make sense or you're taking my comments and assuming that I have no backing or that my rational is illogical.

Death Proof has Kurt Russell; it has the bar/strip scene; has the car chase scene; and has 3 beautiful woman kick the shit our of Russell in the end. it creates a nice inversion of the serial woman hater/murderer being done in by film's typical victims.

if it wasn't for all the fuckin' talkin'... cliche ass trying to be slick and cool Tarantino dialogue in the first half of that film, I'd LOVE Death Proof, but because it does have that shitty first 45min (sans the bar scene) i only like it.

Last Air Bender was terrible

Also the Village is a good ass movie. the end

"...as polished and cohesive as The Sixth Sense."

Puffy's first record is more polished than Wu-Tang's first record, but not better.

Pulp Fiction is more influential, more original, stands up better to repeated viewings, has a far better cast, has more memorable scenes, is more well-written (honestly, Sixth Sense's writing is like a Lifetime Movie of the Week), won way more awards (and acclaim), and they both did strong box office numbers. It's one of the defining movies of the 90s.

What did The Sixth Sense do? It's just an extremely syrupy, inconsequential movie that got tons of buzz from a great twist ending.

I don't hate your boy either. I actually liked The Happening the one time I saw it, and I remember Unbreakable being really good (but I haven't seen it in a decade...)

In 100 years people will still talk about Pulp Fiction. 6th Sense, not so much.

Charlie Wilson's War is more polished and cohesive than Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Electric Light Orchestra is more polished than the Rolling Stones.
Friends is more polished and cohesive than Louie & Curb.

I won't defend Night's worst against Nolan's worst, as even Nolan's worst isn't as bad as Night's last couple.

But Death Proof is worse than the lot. Outside of maybe Mike Myers' The Cat In The Hat, the most unpleasant and dull and pointless experience I've ever had in a theater, bar none.

I saw it after everyone shit all over it so I went in with no expectations but it wasn't horrible on the base level and while it wasn't perfect I really liked the modern fairy tale angle. It also was interesting with the critic killing angle and from a metareading with Night's ego writing checks his skills can't cash. It wasn't good but it had some interesting elements.

I'll also concede that I don't give a shit about car chases but apparently if you're into that, Death Proof is supposedly pretty cool.

I don't know if you were purposely exaggerating because it just *felt* that long, but the theatrical cut of Death Proof was less than 90 minutes.

I mean, it was a throwaway/gimmick movie anyway - half of a fake double-bill that purposely emulated shitty movies, complete with missing reels, damaged film, and intentional technical gaffes. Not sure why people judge it on a standalone basis when it wasn't conceived or even exhibited that way (except in Europe). Sure, I agree that *even for what it is* it's not that great, but I look at it more of a side-project/experiment that didn't work than as an actual full-blown feature film like any of his other projects.

----

(loved the Philly landscape & the scenes being at my folks' church) but I never go back to that flick, after you know the big reveal it's not really all that interesting or entertaining.

I'd rather watch any of the Batman flicks, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, maybe even Jackie Brown than that movie from this point forward.

Just thought I'd highlight that fact.
