so im guessing you are lumping Matrix 1, 2, and 3 all together

5/14/2008 11:58:52 AM

i was mistaken, they're not all movies after that follow that they directed.

I guess you're not counting Chappelles Block Party? That movie/doc was awful also.

But this guy is overrated anyway.

Every single thing that John Singleton made after Boyz N The Hood.

5/14/2008 3:46:43 PM

If we're talking straight follow-ups, you can't use Matrix -> Speed Racer because of V for Vendetta nor can you use Star Wars: A New Hope -> Phantom Menace.

^^wachowski brothers didnt direct V for Vendetta. still, there's the matrix sequels

but george lucas didn't direct episode 5 and 6, he went straight from directing episode 4 to episode 1.

Ang Lee

The Ice Storm ---> Ride with the Devil

5/14/2008 4:10:09 PM

A lot of these youre listing are in instances where the director has a contract with a studio and he has to direct whatever project they give him.

That shouldn't count.

George Lucas probably the epitome of the thread here.

I doubt that's the worst, but I could only watch 30 minutes of RWTD.

5/14/2008 5:03:57 PM

^^but pulp fiction wasnt really that good so its a moot point

You couldn't be more wrong.

The Wachowski brothers didn't direct V for Vendetta. They directed Matrix, followed by Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions; and now Speed Racer.

And George Lucas directed nothing between A New Hope and Phantom Menace.

Get your facts straight before you look like a flaming retard.

^ So wrong. The Ice Storm >>>>>>>>>> Crouching Tiger, even though I love them both.

The Ice Storm (80%) --> Ride With the Devil (63%)
a difference of 17%

Rotten Tomatoes FTW!

Hidden Dragon (the kung fu movie) was broing compared to The Ice Strom (the suburbian drama).

5/14/2008 7:16:33 PM

next you faggots will be talking about how provocative yet good brokeback mountain was.

5/14/2008 7:51:22 PM

Narc to Smokin Aces was a pretty big dropoff for Joe Carnahan

5/14/2008 8:00:12 PM

I hated Narc.

5/14/2008 8:17:03 PM

yeah id flip that around

5/14/2008 8:22:47 PM

Narc got an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes while Smokin Aces got 26%, thats a pretty big drop off
