Bone Tomahawk is also incredible. Zahler apparently has something like 20 scripts trapped in studio development hell so he just makes them himself now.
The b-movie grade prosthetics are a cracking style choice but I feel like without them his films would have more credibility with a wider audience. Doubt Zahler cares, he just turned Vince Vaughn into a badass. |

The gore in Bone Tomahawk was almost too much to handle it looked real to me. It's the first time in a long time I felt horror in a horror film. |

He has written books, I'm tempted to get some.
Joe Carnahan, Ben Wheatley, Alexander Payne, Mel Gibson, S. Craig Zahler and the McDonagh brothers are some of the top auteurs in film making over the last few years. Studios should hand them millions and just wait for the rewards like they did before Cimino fucked it up for everybody. |

Big fan of both of these films. The mood and violence in Bone Tomahwak reminded me a little of The Proposition.

I thought you guys were being sarcastic and then I realized you weren't. I couldn't take Vince seriously at all, I watched this months ago and barely remember anything about it other than I though it was crap and I wasted my time.

I know more people that hate it than love it. Personally it fills every box I need ticked in a B movie revenge flick.
It is the sort of film Quentin Tarantino has been trying to make for his entire career but his are too much in every direction(too polished, too outlandish, too goddamn big) to be true homages to the films he uses as inspiration/outright steals from. |

That's a good observation. QT's attempts at grindhouse were nothing like the real thing.
I just loved the direction the story in Brawl took. I was all set for a long prison stay, a passage of time, but he took it in a direction that surprised me and worked. |

I thought it was fairly predictable to be honest besides the insane hyper-violence... I really had no idea what was getting snapped off next.
I just think it was an extremely well made genre film that didn't pull any tricks. It was the grindhouse version of "Warrior" almost. A predictable but extremely well made homage to a specific style of film that failed on no level. Stylistic choices like never having people scream are wonderful little touches. Shows everyone was so fucked up they were in shock, unconscious or dead. |

I think the guy's an artist. I just wonder how he'll style this next one. No happy ending anyway...

It was awesome and Vince Vaughns best performance ever in my opinion. Made my top 10 favorite movies.

I watched both on Amazon Prime. I just got rid of Netflix. Will get it back for the next season of Punisher.

I think with Vaughn in particular that this was a movie he needed to do much like Stallone in Copland or Williams in One hour Photo. |

CopLand cost Stallone about nine years worth of roles because studios started to wonder what to do with him. Look at what he did between CopLand and bringing back Rocky/Rambo. He brought them back because CopLand was so under appreciated that people started to question how to use him at all. Spy Kids... Avenging Angelo... Get Carter... all awful.
CopLand is one of his best movies too. |

One Hour Photo was equally unnecessary for Robin Williams given that for the next twelve years he made no impactful cinema besides as a supporting act in the fairly successful Night At The Museum films.
Then he killed himself. So yeah, One Hour Photo wasn't a great film nor was his performance particularly interesting. |

I have recently found that a small but loud contingent of movie "critics" have decided to retroactively hate Fight Club.
It was a great movie, not the best in the world, but it was a great script, beautifully done, and really funny. So they hate it because the fanbase is terrible..which I sorta/kinda understand. |

I've said this before, Fight Club doesn't hold up well at all. It's best I leave it at that.

My best friend from the past had a younger brother that had an obsession with fight club. Shit ton of merchandise and he'd watch it daily. We reallysuspected he was masturbating to Brad Pitt.
