Joel Silver is the most attrocious, craptastic producer in Hollywood
Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 12:45 AM by Bombtrack
seriously. He's one of the most powerful, rich moguls in show biz.

But he has not produced 1 genuinely good film since 1988 with Diehard.

Seriously his credits read like a guide on what's wrong with Hollywood. He makes Bruckheimer look like Speilberg.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005428/

and yes, I HATED the Matrix.

4. well , whatever. He makes Bruckheimer look like the greatest producer
ever in terms of quality and creativity and respectablity.

And I disagree with you about Spielberg. But really I couldn't think of ONE amazing producer that everyones heard of.

8. I saw Minority Report, I didn't see AI
but my value judgement about artists is not generally based on their worst movies. Not that Minority Report, which I enjoyed, is a bad movie in mine and most people's opinions.

3. Yeah, and a director who's never even worked on a movie before
he does music videos. The cast doesn't seem to have one good actor in it.

Oh and the guy who wrote the screenplay has Baywatch episodes as his most famous writing credits

13. The old House Of Wax with Vincent Price is a classic.
Did it really need to be remade?

5. Demolition Man!!!

Scorsese ownz.

9. First, Demolition Man was dumb, second "house of wax" looks pretty good?
Are you F'ing kidding me?

Is it the lack of 1 good actor in the entire cast including the most undeserving whore in history to get a lead role?

Is it the 1st time director?

The writer of the screenplay who's only written for crappy tv episodes on shows the only one anyone's heard of being baywatch?
