David O' Russell's 'Amsterdam' set to lose $97 million for Regency Enterprises

[Conz]

what the hell is the genre of American Hustle and Amsterdam? they're like these kinda wacky psuedo-mysteries, but the mystery isn't even kinda interesting and wackiness feels like it's coming from someone who isn't even kinda funny and working way outside of his comfort zone.

the funniest thing in both movies was Taylor Swift being shoved under a moving car

every idea Guillermo del Toro has sounds absolutely incredible... then 6 of them get cancelled, he makes a movie every 3 years and they're all just kinda ok, I actually like the Hellboys more than all of his recent stuff. Pan's Labyrinth is obviously incredible. i've never gone back to his non-english stuff prior to that, but i know people love the vampire movie at least.

even Cabinet of Curiosities was just kinda ok overall.

Hes one of the most disappointing directors for me. He's talented but his movies don't interest me at all and like you said, his films that got canceled seemed like better ideas then what he puts out.

Starting watching it on HBO Max but turned it off a hour into it. I'll give it another shot some other time

Waste of time. It's caught up being "cute" and "quirky" all to itself.

They're trying to get that Woody Allen/Cohen Brothers mixed with "French new wave" shyt and completely shytting the bed.

But because they're not superhero flicks critics fall over themselves for them

i guess so. he really does borrow from a bunch of auteurs like that, but the tone is always garbage. i guess that's why basically the only 2 movies of his i like are Three Kings, which i think succeeds b/c the war stuff is well done and the tone is slightly above dramatic, which works. I liked the Fighter too, but that was mostly b/c Christian Bale murdered that movie. Everything else has been a big fat shrug, to garbage for me

3 kings wasn't great or memorable I've literally seen that movie once and never had any desire to see it again

i think 3 Kings is one of the better movies that takes place during the 90s desert storm era "war."

Amsterdam got panned

Amsterdam got panned

And rightfully so.

I’m gonna be the contrarian here, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bale is very good. Convoluted plot but enjoyable.
