This is what I felt when I saw Once Upon a Time in the West from the get go. Okay, he's doing the whole, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly thing here with a long ass ******* wait before a shootout. The difference here was the line, not the shootout (and ten times longer). You know Fonda is going to win. It just took us 15 minutes to get the great line, "You got two, too many." Wow!!!! My mind is ******* blown. Do I really need to see a guy blow on a fly for that long? I understand what is going on. It's matter of being successful. That is not suspenseful, that is boring. When you are trying and attempting to create mood and atmosphere with tension and suspense and entice boredom from a viewer, very painful boredom, that is a failure. If you call that shallow, then I don't really have a response for that. I didn't watch the movie to see how different it was from previous Westerns.
For me, set pieces and musical scores are there to ENHANCE the film. They aren't the film. I think The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is an average film with an above average ending. I am more than happy to miss out on the rest though. I love movies, but I hate movies of guys kicking dirt around for 20 minutes. The editing is awful in every movie I've seen from his. Every movie of his has been an hour too long. A full hour. Too long. Yet, these movies are masterpieces? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is atrociously flawed from a technical standpoint (sound also kills the performances). Bizarrely overlong. Random and completely pointless social commentaries on war? Do I care? Why don't you save me the 30 minutes Sergio, cut out the entire war commentaries and just stick to the ******* story. The movie is simply unnecessarily long. Once Upon a Time in the West is just unbearable. I watched the ending on Youtube, pretty good ending, I just don't have the patience to sit through what feels like a 5 hour movie.

Is this guy serious??? btw I like the irony that you are the (incorrect) Sergio Leone that you speak of in your posts. Takes you 3 paragraphs to drone on and on and on and on about your simple minded point that could have been explained in three sentences.

Well there's no way I let you go through with this. I'm the only one to play around with Brodeur. Now I'm pretty skilled with knives and I'd be happy to meet you.

Brooklyn's Finest was ok, I kind of expected more out of it though.

He should have been "taken care of" back in the late 80's-early 90's.

Just got to thinking and came to the conclusion that American Psycho is the best book to movie adaptation of all time IMO as far as both the book and the movie being equally entertaining. What a tricky book to 'get' and to translate to the big screen still not quite sure how an unknown Mary Harron was able to pull it off so near perfectly. I mean look at the scene I posted, with that scene she is able to translate the seemingly meaningless chapters of music reviews in the book into the movie flawlessly.
Oliver Stone is a talented guy and so is DiCaprio, but I doubt they would have gotten and captured Bret Easton Ellis so well on the big screen.
Now I just wish somebody would 'get' Glamorama.

I wish they had of "got" The Informers. Super upset with the butchering of that adaptation, as its my favorite of the Ellis novels. The Rules of Attraction movie wasnt all that bad either if I remember correctly.

I've read that Michel Gondry is slated to do a biopic of Deborah Harry & Blondie in those blurred days of post punk/early New Wave in the late 70s soon. Any buzz on the project yet? Kirsten Dunst has said she wants to play Harry.

The Informers was so terrible I have officially blocked off all knowledge of it ever happening from my mind. I've never held anything bigger than a camera phone before and I honestly feel I could have made a better adaptation than whatever that garbage was.
btw I am reading a BEE interview right now and he mentions how he took Ben Stiller to court, sued him and won because of Zoolander and it's similarities to Glamorama. That one always makes me laugh.

Yeah, I remember reading that. Zoolander was a pimp movie though, so its hard to hate Stiller for it.

Love it too, I was grateful to see an action film with Bruce Willis as something other than a rogue cop. It's beautiful to watch, immaculately photographed, combat sequences orchestrated very well. Watch the scenes of Monica Belucci running in it -- she runs like a girl! You'll lyao.
