Author Topic: Clint Eastwood vs. Steven Spielberg Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 11-23-2011 10:37 PM                    quote: Mike Blakesley If that were true, the majority of Woody Allen's movies would never have been made. Woody Allen's films have made over a half billion dollars combined over the life of his career. His movies don't cost all that much to make. His movies don't open on a lot screens so the cost of distributing is very low. Over time the film expands with many prints moving around. He has to my knowledge only opened one film in his career on more than 1000 screens on opening day. Allen's movies do make profit, not all but a lot of them do.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 11-24-2011 02:42 PM                     That's besides the point. You're claiming that people who make movies do them for no reason other than to make a profit. Even a person who makes a movie because they think it'll make money could also do it because they like the story/director/other actors/etc.  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 11-28-2011 01:02 PM                        Tom I would disagree that Eastwood films are "not that great". I usually like them a great deal. That is laying any political message to the side that may or may not be in them. He gets a lot of his actors. No they are not action packed films but entertainment doesn't have to be about explosions.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 11-28-2011 11:01 PM                    quote: Ron Funderburg Tom I would disagree that Eastwood films are "not that great". I said the films of late such as J. Egar, Invictus, Herafter....are not as good as his older stuff he starred in.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 11-28-2011 11:18 PM                     Didn't you also say that Hereafter was amazing and deserved 4-stars? I'm pretty sure I remember that.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 11-28-2011 11:35 PM                    quote: Chris Slycord Didn't you also say that Hereafter was amazing and deserved 4-stars?
