Is Jackson a hack? - Page 2

Wayfarer · 12-06-2003, 01:51 AM

Wow... somebody has actually watched and liked some of PJ's prior films. I am aghast.

Although I will point out that, given the type of films Jackson produced before snagging work on LOTR, his credentials were certainly better than one Ralph Bakashi.

I don't like the movies (well, TT was generally better IMO), but I can't completely write off what he produced either - the production time alone dictates that this was not a quick buck/job. I would also add that PJ's detractors (egads, I sound like bb, somebody cut my tongue out! ) ought to watch Heavenly Creatures as this is an outstanding movie. It saddens me that this didn't carry over into LOTR.

Oooh... I saw "Heavenly Creatures"... totally flipped me out when the one girl...

bludgeoned her own mother to death

...

... gives me chills. Freaked me out that it was a real story.

As for cutting your tongue out, sorry, SGH is putting the hammer down... I have to clean up my act

(or at least feign such

). *dejectedly puts knife away*

I have no such scruples. What I do have, however, is a flensing knife. ]:-)

Feh. Like that matters. You never were that good at it anyway. ];-)

If I had ever said what I wanted to say... I'd be banned from here for life.

So you claim. I think that's just a convenient excuse.

Stop the spamming alreadyy - this is a serious discussion on Jackson's directing abilities as it portains to Lord of the Rings.

I am aware of that BB, and am working on getting around to this and some other threads. Try to understand that I've been a little busy with other things. The movie forum isn't the only forum at Entmoot, you know.

Closing.
