Oh and i like Bay, and im 22, married, and own ZERO limp biscuit albums.
However i also like The Wachowski brothers, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Speilberg, James Cameron, John Woo, Brian De Palma, Quentin Tarantino and many other movie legends.
Yes, i have quite a wide taste in movies.
Of course believing MY they're wrong is still an opinion. It would be a contradiction if I'd said otherwise.
Stating you like a list of directors best known or only known for their action films (Kubrick being the sole exception) and saying you have "wide taste in movies" comes close to being a contradiction.
Wow you really like stoking the fire huh.
Just to put you right since you seem to know nothing about directors...
Steven Speilberg ISNT an action movie director. Was A.I. and action movie? No, its was a masterpiece. Was The Terminal an action movie? Nope. Was Catch Me If You Can an action movie? No. Hell i wouldnt even class War Of The Worlds as an action movie, more like a drama.
Now for Brian De Palma. Was Scarface an action movie? Nope. How about Carlitos way? Nahuh.
Quentin Tarantino: Pulp Fiction? Not an action movie, but a cinematic masterpiece of story telling. Reservior dogs, not an action movie, same as above. Kill Bill? I didnt like the movie personally, but i wouldnt even class that as an action movie either.
So what have we established here? Well, i think if i said what we have established about you the servers' censor bot would explode. You get the point.
Actually, yeah, that's the only reason I'm prodding at you Bay knob-gobblers. Boredom. That, and it sickens me that people can't engage in a decent conversation on this board without half-wits jumping in and going "OMFG itz gunna be awesome Bay is so great why can't you geewhunner people accept that it can't be like the original series Armageddon was the best movie ever boxy robots wouldn't work if I wanted to see an Oscar-winning movie I'd go rent one Transformers is supposed to be nothing more than giant robots fighting action movie and cheesy jokes and" yada yadda yadda ad-nauseum.
Spielberg isn't an action-movie director, he's best known for it. Jaws, Minority Report, Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds. Those are the titles attached to his name on posters. You don't see "produced by the director of Schindler's List" on many posters. A.I. was a good movie, I couldn't stop wondering how much better it'd been if Kubrick hadn't died or if Kubrick would've used Taun-We Kamino cloners in the final act.
Brian de Palma and Tarantino's films are all located under action when you go to rent them. Seriously, check. Not Drama, not Romance, not Foreign or Animated. Why? Because in spite of the fact that they probably constitute drama more than action, action is the label they're thrown under. Maybe you consider "action" to be solely straight-up popcorn fare like Renny Harlin or Michael Bay movies as opposed to a well-balanced film with fleshed-out characters, dialogue that's relevant to the story,
and action-scenes, but that's how they're categorized.
