I was wondering whether to put this on General Discussion or Filmmakers, but considering the amount of focus on the people themselves I thought it more appropriate. Move if necessary
http://flavorwire.com/200745/the-30-har ... in-historySome of these are pretty sound and are actually a bit constructive or critical (Bergman on Antonioni, Welles on Godard, Korine on Tarintino, etc.), some are just hilarious with how hard/little they try (black-on-black Tyler Perry vs Spike Lee, anything involving Kevin Smith or
Vincent Gallo [lol at calling other people talentless], etc)
Speaking of Kevin Smith, I'm pretty much indifferent on the guy (hate his aloof fanboys way more than him), but these series of quotes always crack me up
Tim Burton on Kevin Smith (after Smith jokingly accused Burton of stealing the ending of Planet of the Apes from a Smith comic book):
“Anyone who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I would especially never read anything created by Kevin Smith.”
Kevin Smith on Tim Burton (in response to “I would never read a comic book”):
“Which, to me, explains fucking Batman.”
So true on both accounts. [spoiler]Yes Smith's foray into comics is worse then every film he has worked on combined[/spoiler]
Some of these are here just because of their names, any other famous quips? I remember hearing Truffaut say about Pather Panchali that he didn't want to watch a film about peasants eating with their hands. Man, file that one under the retarded comments.
