If everyone in this thread is to be believed this LA Twister is the best film of all time. I doubt it though. It gets a "rotten" on rottentomatoes and a poor 6.0 on IMdB.

No I haven't seen it but I can make the leap that its crap. Just because the director of a tiny film comes on these boards doesn't mean I'm going to become a sycophant like the previous posters.

Err, my initial review was well before it was even known the director had joined these forums.

LA Twister is a great movie, perhaps pass judgment after watching the movie...

iMDB ratings cannot be trusted for good or bad films these days, too many idiots. There's some cracking films between 6-7 on there.. besides, an average film should theoretically be 5.. I think people have forgotten what an average film actually means..

If truth be told, I enjoyed LA Twister, at times it missed the mark for me but overall I enjoyed it... I was more impressed with Sven's attitude! It's refreshing to know how frustrated the creative people within Hollywood can be because they have to deal with the bullshit that we simply sidestep by ripping a movie off.

So whilst I respect what you're saying Vanzan in that there probably is a degree of sycophancy in this thread, it's borne from Sven's attitude rather than us being starstruck. Hollywood needs to change, and open-minded directors can help facilitate that change... The same is happening in the music industry now, artists are beginning to realise that treating your customer base with contempt isn't the way forward and that they need to adapt, thankfully; some are.

Vanzan, if you are suggesting that people here (including me) are only being complimentary about this movie because the director of it turned up, then you are seriously fucking mistaken.

Would this thread have gotten as many replies if Sven hadn't posted? No it wouldn't, but of all those responses no
one has posted a negative one and considering the recent consensus regarding posting etiquette, that should speak fucking volumes.

If I thought this movie was shit, I would say so. I would gladly piss on Svens parade if I thought he deserved it, instead I bought the DVD and *I would seriously rather go down on Neversoft than buy a dvd of a movie that I don't like.

Considering Vanzans recent movie
tastes, I am not sure he is qualified to comment either way

Above quote was about the dreadfully unoriginal Halloween 58, or Halloween 1 through 4 remade or whatever the fuck Halloween it was. Either way, it's unsurprising that someone with that kind of taste in movies is unappreciative of a Director like Sven who not only makes a stand out movie but also embraces the scene that appreciates it.

Vanzan, my suggestion to you is, go watch Halloween AGAIN.


*I once went down on Neversoft in 1999 but I also bought Monkeybone that year.

Yes you liked Brokeback mounting or yes Boondock Saints was shit??

Don't know why I'm asking since i know you have an upskirt shot of Heath Ledger as a screen saver.


Edit ** Brokeback mounting was seriously an unintentional typo/freudian slip, not gonna correct it coz it's pure fuckin genius.

I really didn't like Brokeback at all, I thought it was a pretty poor attempt at trying to sell the idea of homosexuality to a primarily straight audience. I think within a few months of seeing it I'd seen Mysterious Skin, which wasn't even in the same ballpark. Briliant film, and recommended to anyone who is capable of handling the concepts it deals with.

Anyway, enough about movies that aren't LA Twister.

I have yet to see Bumfun Mountgay. It's on the "I'll see it when I get round to it at some time in the future, whenever that is i'm not really bothered if I die not having seen it" pile gathering dust...

However I do have a copy of Hollywood Kills, and having seen the taster on the LA Twister DVD I shall certainly watch that pretty sharpish.

I'm already sharpening the critique pencil in anticipation...

I'm not going to steam-in like the others have done but I want to point out a flaw in your logic... You're arguing about the quality of a movie that you haven't seen, based on other peoples opinions. The rest of us at least take the time to see a movie before judging it. Rotten Tomatoes doesn't speak for everybody (it certainly doesn't speak for me) and you shouldn't let it speak for you. A quick Google shows many mixed reviews of LA Twister, many saying it's a bit self-indulgent at times, but guess what, you might still like it!

So please, feel free to come back and post your Iinformed opinion of the movie. If you think it's shit after viewing it, at least it's your view and not one you've borrowed from somebody else.

If I'm honest though, I'm reasonably sure that even if you loved the movie, vanity would prevent you from coming back here and saying so.

I gotta thank Vanzan for his postings here, this little controversy created a spike in DVD sales last week ;-) not that I'm counting...
