Your Current Top 5 People in Hollywood
Posted on 2/26/16 at 3:51 pm

Who would be your top 5 of must see people currently making movies. Can be actor, producer, director, etc. They don't have to be who you think is best at their craft, just who has the biggest influence on if you will see a movie or not
In no order:
Leo
Tom Hardy
Christopher Nolan
Tarantino
Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen - I'm sure I'll get smashed here, but I love a good comedy and these 2 have been the most consistent over the recent years. There really hasn't been a movie of either of theirs in which I simply didn't like

seeing as Taratino's at the point where he can shite on screen and have it called brilliant, he's a lock for top 5

I almost just turned it into a top 5 directors thread because I gave all these considerable thought

I was thinking the 5 most influential people in Hollywood. Untouchables, if you will. Your list is pretty strong in that regard. It's crazy how they're starting to all collaborate, too.
Nolan
Hardy
Tarantino (for some reason)
Leo
Add Alexander Gonzalez Inarritu and I feel like those 5 people are running Hollywood these days
Take away and Tarantino and the remaining 4 are probably 4/5 of MY top 5, have to think of 5. I can't stand QT is basically my point.

You can't stand him a person or his movies? I can totally understand why people wouldn't like him for being him. He's extremely arrogant and smug

I follow directors more than actors. I like Tom Hardy, for example, but I wouldn't see anything just because he's in it. I would see any movie directed by David Fincher though.

That smugness is pretty detectable in his movies lately. I loved Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs but it's been downhill from there. I think he's not nearly as original as his critics blindly praise him to be. He even admits as much, he just borrows from pulp and exploitation cinema, yet he's feted as some genius when in fact he's still riding on good will from Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. The real strength of those movies was the dialogue which really did seem revolutionary at the time and was truly inspired. Since then, however, he's had absolutely nothing of interest to say in his movies. He could have Christoph Waltz read out of a phone book for 120 minutes and critics would be drooling over it.
Inglourious Basterds..I kept waiting for all this 'snappy' dialogue but to me it never delivered. I hated the screenplay. Main characters would come and go, disappearing for what felt like 30 minutes at a time. I liked Brad Pitt, but then he would disappear from the proceedings for a while. Entire set pieces were built around dialogue that went nowhere. You could tell that encounter with the Nazis in the basement bar was supposed to be tense, but to me it just groaned on and on, in part because Tarantino thinks he's so clever that he can have characters talk, and talk, and talk, and people will eat it up.
Django Unchained was sophomoric crap. It was an adolescent fantasy vanity piece. I felt like it was Tarantino trying to apologize for using the n word too much in Pulp Fiction. Were we supposed to stand up and cheer with he blew away the white lady in the end? Samuel L Jackson's character had to be one of the worst in modern cinematic history, and not in the sense Tarantino intended. Another movie of his where the screenplay was an excuse for dialogue Tarantino drummed up while high. The violence was so over the top that it became tedious and rendered the events of everything monotonous.
I won't even see the hateful 8, which is too bad, because Walton Goggins is one my favorite actors.

Then take the stick out of your arse and watch it because Goggins stole the show. He was fantastic.

My current 5:
Wes Anderson
Coen Bros. (Though Hail, Caesar! is making me cautious)
David O. Russell
Tom Hardy
*Domhnall Gleason
*Gleason was in four movies last year, and all four were Oscar caliber films. The Revenant, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, Brooklyn, and Ex Machina. I'll see any movie that he's in from now on, until he hits a slump.

Damn that's good to hear. I was always going to see it eventually on Netflix or something just not in theaters. I'm glad to hear Walton finally getting some deserves recognition. Every review I'd seen so far had barely mentioned him. I have to give QT credit for collaborating with him
