Oh, bummer. I nominated Cholodenko and Coppola. Grrrrrrr.
Cholodenko really has a lighter touch with character and nuance, but Coppola is amazing.
Had to go with Coppola.
And thank you, Feev, for listing The Outsiders. :wub: Stay Gold, Ponyboy.

Aww, Jean, I am sorry but I ended up voting for Coppola.
I love Polanski. Ah, Dance of Vampires. :rose:
Bram Stoker's Dracula. Irresistable.

I ended up going for Coppola too. The Godfather I and II as well as Apocalypse Now are masterpieces of cinema.

this
interesting... bears were unimpressed by both - I mean, the three, counting Godfathers separately
fernandito

Really Jean ? I think that the first two Godfathers are irrefutable masterpieces. A perfect blend of character study and gripping plot. It's fascinating to see the struggles of a family trying to survive amidst a world poisoned by deceit and murder. I love those films.
yes, I see... I even agree... just not a bears' type of film
fernandito
07-13-2010, 09:12 AM
Fair enough, I respect that.

After much thought I finally decided to go with Polanski :)
Brice

Coppola against Polanski? Whoever made these two go up against each other so soon truly hates me. :cry:
Heather19
07-13-2010, 04:26 PM
Don't worry. Two get to move on :)
Brice

Imagine you have two kids, both are hanging off a cliff. You know you can save them both, but are frozen by which to save first. :unsure: :cry:

Brice- they should make a movie about that. Oh wait...

I know another bear who's voting Polanski...:P
http://pictures.deadlycomputer.com/d/32441-2/Pedo+bear.png
very funny, Cyber, thank you
since I've been doing nothing for two weeks but researching the Polanski case, his life, movies and all the available documents, I've developed an opinion greatly different from what people that side of the ocean are led to believe (but, thank God, shared by many, especially this side of the ocean).
Sorry, it was off-topic.
Brice

Honestly I am not interested in his life especially...just his films. Even if he did exactly what some people think he did it doesn't take away from the greatness of his movies one bit.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Big huge difference in admiring the man and the man's work.
Bears admire both... but this is definitely for a different thread.
Anyway, Wes Anderson and Lisa Cholodenko were very unlucky to get into this group...
turtlex
07-14-2010, 08:13 AM
Yup. Oh well. I was interested in how far through the process the female director's would go.
fernandito
07-14-2010, 08:19 AM
Oh ! Thanks for reminding guys ! I looked up Cholodenko's filmography, and she recently made a film titled 'The Kids Are Alright' with Julianne Moore. I read the premise and I have to say I'm intrigued !

Which is?
I mean, not only did the guy drug and rape a thirteen year old girl, but he's made comments like "Everyone wants to fuck young girls!", "She was almost fourteen" and "I only regret what happened afterwards." He's scum.
I can definitely understand distancing his work from his personal life (as lots of famous people are pricks in real life) but defending the man himself is another thing entirely. Hell, if Stephen King did what he did I wouldn't defend him even though I love his books.

It's getting excellent reviews and I suspect Oscar noms for Julianne Moore and Annette Bening.
She's a very talented director ... probably more people will learn of her as she becomes more prolific. She definitely takes her time between films... and writes as well.
Cholodenko's High Art was a great film.
turtlex
07-14-2010, 01:37 PM
Thanks, pablo !! I was starting to think I was the only one who saw any of Lisa's films.
I loved High Art ( which she wrote as well as directed ), and actually - I've seen all of her movies, and plan on seeing "The Kids Are Alright" sometime this weekend ( if all works out ). She never disappoints me. I wish she made more movies.

yes I'm the one that voted for Wes Anderson over Francis Ford Coppola.

this group is closing today !

Francis For Coppola and Roman Polanski advance !
rather old news, going by the results... but still a pleasant one! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gif
