he crossed the wrong studios and they fucked him up oldschool
Cameron Murphy
He lucked out that most of those have turned out to be cult classics. He legit only had like 4 profitable movies in his career. It's actually odd when you think about it. He made mainstream movies that didn't gain popularity until millennials grew up.

man, fuck audiences and fuck siskel and ebert

How?

Imagine making big budget films brimming with American pop culture and acting like you're Godard.
Logan Gutierrez
You're not supposed to keep churning out movies. Carpenter apparently got fucked by producers both in terms of budget and profits, so he's wary. In a recent interviewhe didn't rule out making a new movie. I'd like to see him direct a series kinda like what Body Bags was supposed to be: friends helping, anthology format, bold, no censorship or studio micromanagement.
Kayden Davis
He'd be better off doing a show or miniseries on Netflix or something. Movies are done.
Julian Foster
He had an incredible run (Halloween alone remains one of the most profitable independent films of all time, I think it might have actually held the title for a while), but the reception to The Thing marked a definite turning point. It's considered one of the best films of its kind now, but as Carpenter himself said, what good does that do him. He put out a few great films after that, but he clearly began to fall out of love with it and things petered out. I'm thankful that he's still doing anything. Went to one of his gigs and it was a tremendous experience.
Josiah Gomez
He probably got sick and tired working for studio jews
Matthew Clark
Literally fucking who??
Adam Walker
That's what Body Bags was supposed to be, a tv series for Showtime.
Dominic Rivera
He literally said he just plays videogames nowdays instead of making movies.
Xbox ruined his career. It's the american Berserker's mangaka.
Cooper Jenkins
>lucked out
He was before his time, retard. It's rare that great, lasting artists get mainstream success while they're able to enjoy it.
Xavier Young
if I were him I wouldn't do anything, just smoke cigarettes and play xbox, but he does more than that even.

Or is it revenge for us not pretending that Escape from L.A. is good?

His last movie was with Amber Heard and other girls. He just made a last movie to coom with it and then go to play Halo or Madden games. Would be funny if he does video game streaming before dying.

This makes him a hero to me. God bless him.

It's mysterious. His 'good' work to me dries up in about 95... haven't seen everything he's made after that, but that Mars movie was godawful and clearly (to me) the product of a creator who'd lost his way.
George Romero was the same way, with the same relative timeframe, and he's my favorite by far. Wes Craven did a little better, but not by much - after Scream he didn't really have a ton to offer, imo. Tobe Hooper's career is perhaps just generally troubled, but the mid-90s seemed to be a funeral for him as well...
Obviously Scream and the other popular teen-horror films of the era had an effect on everyone, but I don't think that alone explains the dying of the greats after 2000.
Maybe it's simply that only a very select few directors continue to make great work into middle age. Steven Speilberg, George Lucas, Joe Dante, Richard Donner and John Landis all sorta dried up creatively around the same time.
I'm very glad Carpenter has his second career, and never lost the admiration of his fans. It's probably for the best that he packed it in when he did - I feel like Romero tarnished his legacy when he continued to spin out. Better to quit while you're ahead maybe.

L.A. is absolute kino and better than the first one
>His last movie was with Amber Heard and other girls
good lord that movie is atrocious and Heard can't act for shit
Jordan Rogers
It's bad yes but imagine being there while they change clothes and things, he knew what he was doing as any old coomer director when it gets his old age, they just make movies to coom. French filmmaking style.

you forgot Assault On Precinct 13
Jose Morris
Bro Weir is annoyingly underrated. I've made three Weir threads in the past that all get archived with zero replies. I really hope he can do one last bit of kino before he dies. I doubt it will be big like M&C but something small and personal would suffice. He'd definitely go down like Carpenter as one of these directors I could easily research and research
William Davis
George Romero was a carny grindhouse hack that made one (1, single) watchable movie in his entire career. Even Tobe Hooper and Wes Craven were head and shoulders above him artistically.
Caleb Nguyen
Him streaming would be funny. Directing a horror game could be kino
Daniel Martinez
Ayden Nelson
I don't blame him. You know how much work he put into The Thing? He actually got skin-cancer from it. Reviewers and audiences at the time shit all over it because it wasn't gay and cutesy like ET.
I'd want to quit too and just play vidya all day.

Damn, cannot wait for this 80's cult classic to get a 2020's sequel directed by Denis.
