Well, he named one person who you could contend is an action director with Coogler. I'm not sure what you mean by "it's counter intuitive" — most of those directors have gotten good performances from their actors and seem to have handled their budgets well, they've crossed that low bar, and managed to make good films while doing it.

I'll also add that the guy I responded to seems to be some kinda lunatic so there's no much to be mined there

> He’s a good filmmaker, but that’s it.

Hes also a good author, has written several novels that are great reads.

brimstone, if you dare.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

He never said he didn’t intend that from what I recall, but I’m clearly far from the only one who saw that as a clumsy piece of foreshadowing. Having already accepted I remember the end of the film wrongly, I’m not quite sure why that got downvoted since much.

Don’t you think putting spoiler tags on every single question is a little redundant considering the post already has a spoiler warning?

Dear diary… everyone is stupid except for me.

Syfy too.

I came into your comment somewhat willing to see you make this point, you have like 30 links, and not a single one of them actually shows that the definition of "Canadian content" could impact the size of Netflix Canada's library versus the US.

You finally have one post that at least makes this argument... But with no evidence whatsoever. "Cautionary tale" how? Where's the proof? How do I know the fact I can't watch Paranormal Activity on Netflix while an American can is a result of content rules versus some streaming rights issue?

I was with you until you said "before Avatar". None of those deserve a nomination.

I think Guillermo del Toro really doesn't like fascists.

It's 35% Canadian by law. Perhaps you think that because there is such a large proportion of world-famous Canadian musicians anyways.

Same in Australia. Luckily Australia has a lot of talented musicians.

Of course it’s a matter of taste. But you can’t have it both ways. He named a bunch of action directors as being very poor, you counter many of them are really good, while also arguing the bar is low. That’s counter intuitive.

Honestly, I do not understand this Elvis awards season hype at all.

Stomp the Yard

The whole idea of a director making a partially autobiographical movie about a vacation with her father and using it to try to explore the mental problems which lead to his suicide five years later was fascinating to me. The movie accomplished its goal in a masterful way.

>the point is that you can't use a percentage to measure this.

Why not? Seems somewhat arbitrary to say this. It sounds more like cope than anything honestly. "Oh the content library is so large that you should ignore the percentage because then it doesn't make the point I might want it to."

Not sure if those movies have the same "vibe"
