What's on your mind?

I guess we'd have to analyze a Seinfeld episode together to see, lol. Not sure what else to say here..



I would disagree, a lot of it has to do with a well written script. And good directing. Part of being a director is finding good actors, which for the most part he does a good marvelous at. There are so many directors who have given otherwise decent actors poor performances.

There are good scripts that do not exactly flow naturally. I'm talking about realistic human interaction. He knows how to jab subtle emotional and verbal cues to his writing.

That's what I mainly enjoy about his films, are the characters and how they interact with one another. Everything else (and even the story) is secondary to me. His films can also be quite funny.

Scripts are guidelines, all you have to do is look at films that are well known to be ad libed (Such as Joe Pesci in Goodfellas) one of the most memorable lines in that movie was an effect of ad libing.

Yes, SOME part does rest on the film maker, HOWEVER, most of it falls on the actor. Look at the budget he has, he can hire good actors that know how to make dialogue flow, MONEY is what makes his cast, not his directing skill. He is an amateur film maker talent wise (as I said before) that just got lucky.

If those actors gave poor performances, thats again, on the actors themselves. Film makers can only do so much. If an actor isn't into the roll, you will get garbage every time.

If the actor is FEELING IT then even with average directing/script it will work.

I have seen nothing in a QT film that says he carried it. You have talented actors, mediocre can work.

Even giving characters humanity and human emotion is on the actor. If QT were stuck with Keanu Reeves style actors that cant convey emotion to save their lives...... his movies wouldn't be what they are considered by some to be.

I doubt QT has been lucky enough to have ad libbing actors carry his films all this time. His films are too large in scope for such a thing.

I've seen many high budget movies that have wooden dialog and characters. Finding people who will mesh isn't always so easy. If all it was was an issue of money, you'd see a lot more high quality characters and dialog in films. And personally I rarely see it.

Miss Spaulding just wanted me to tell you guys that you're all losers.

Jk on the losers part, but she does miss you and is considering a return. Bless her soul.

Couldn't even make it past one year

Things are better than they were. We both recognized it and missed our friends. We even considered looking for another forum and just couldn't find one. I reckon it's hard to make new connections you've made for years here at CF.

The good news: my government class is mostly girls!

The bad news: I can't sit in the EXACT SAME SPOT I sat in last time I had a class in this classroom. This is gonna mess me up...

 

[graciesings]

The teacher thinks he's had me before? Nope.... Just more proof that I have a double on campus.

 

[graciesings]

Yikes, this classroom is full. Like, 25 people full... *gets really anxious*

 

[Saucy]

My mom is being so stubborn. I keep telling her to go to the ER, she's feeling 'a little better'. Once the liver starts being harmed, it's time to stop lollygagging around.

"Why haven't you learned to stop asking intrusive personal questions?" Wait, that's not a good thing to ask family is it?[/QUOTE]
...I could see my family loving that response. I can see their facial expressions now. They've gotten better about the issue but I hate answering those sort of questions in general.

 

[Travelers.Soul]

Or I pose the question and make it their responsability.

My brother's response would be "I know a nice christian guy..." Except the guys he fixes me up with always end in disaster. My brother's friends and I just don't mesh well either they like me but I can't stand them or I think they are nice but they won't give me the time of day. Such is life.

What happens if there is a mass murder on the international space station?

Do you want to get the NSA to wiretap your phone? I'm pretty sure this is how you get the NSA to wiretap your phone.

 

[High Fidelity]

Ooooooooooooh. We may be in for a surprise!

 

[Miss Spaulding]

Misses us? Where is she? Prison?

Yeah. I killed you-know-who (starts with an A, ends with a U) and sold his organs on the black market for a quick buck.

Woohoo! Welcome back! Sorry, but you're not allowed to leave again.
