How Does Peter Berg Aka Diet Michael Bay Still Have A Career?

[Dominic Brehetto]

Just from a financial perspective it makes no sense.


The man has made 9 films.

• Very Bad Things (1998)
• The Rundown (2003)
• Friday Night Lights (2004)
• The Kingdom (2007)
• Hancock (2008)
• Battleship (2012)
• Lone Survivor (2013)
• Deepwater Horizon (2016)
• Patriots Day (2017)

6 of them were box office bombs.

The only 3 that didn't bomb were hancock, lone survivor and Friday night lights.

Does anyone think a woman or any minority be able to do that?

These aren't small budget films either. He's directing 100 million+ budget bombs.


And it's not like they're winning awards either.

shyt makes no sense.

The Great White Hype

 

[Mr. McDowell]

Berg is a member of the tribe, but he also has GREAT representation. Ari Emmanuel is still a premier representative in the business.

 

[re'up]

I always thought he was a Michael Mann lite, he was one of his proteges, I think.

 

[Screwface Exchange]

Outside of budgets and sales, that list is actually not that bad. Deep water was a good movie, I liked it. Many movies on that list suffers from da overhype of wanting to be a big blockbuster movie, when really they were jus ok good viewing movies.

 

[Disgustya Stallone]

his last name should tell you everything

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

he white

Deepwater Horizon was a very good disaster movie

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Eh,Deepwater was whatever. Hard for me to give a shyt about people on an oil rig that caused one of the biggest man made environmental disasters in history because of greed.

And for cgi porn it was tame.

off-topic, Rundown is a classic

i've been waiting on a sequel for 14 years

Outside of battleship, these are all solid movies

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Fun movies but nothing special. Good for watching when u bored

 

[kingdarius]

dude makes good movies (well except battleship) they prolly sell good on dvd too. Lone survivor is GOAT

 

[ORDER_66]

The Kingdom Shootout at the end was on some next level shyt tho!!!!

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Lone survivor is GOAT

I liked it but it ain't the greatest film of all time, come on bruh.
