The Raspberry Awards
The unfair Raspberry Awards are coming up. Who's gonna get it then?
I think (but nothing really deserves it)
Worst Film- Planet of the Apes
Worst Director- Michael Bay (better not be!)
Worst Actor- Josh Hartnett- Pearl Harbor
Worst Actress- Kate Beckinsale- Pearl Harbor
The Raspberry Awards are shite!
OK, if you know so much about the production of film, then tell me why Michael Bay deserves it. He made Pearl Harbor without getting paid because he made it as a tribute to the survivors. Could Tarantino make a film on such a scale as Pearl Harbor? I think not. Could you do it? I definetly think not so piss off to Ain't It Cool News!
Making films for no money does not a good director make. Making huge budget films does not a good director make.
Only the quality of his direction determines this. You may not agree that he is the worst director, but plenty do, and you cannot say that he should be somehow not 'allowed' to be worst director just because he did a film for free or because Tarantino does not make that sort of movie.
And if any film deserves to have raspberries attributed to it it is Pearl Harbour!
Hey BadBoy, Let me Shed some light on the topic.
Yes Bay , AND main Cast Members Spared getting paid....BEFORE THE MOVIE WAS DONE....hoping, and ofcourse anticipating HUGE box office returns. I mean how can they go wrong, you got Ben Affleck, Micael Bay, a Pretty co-star, AND Special effects. So (And I TOTALLY remembered the interview Before the movie came out) They Put a hold on getting paid their Salaries until AFTER the movie was finished, and revenue could be made.
Dont get me wrong THAT is a big TASK for Big time Hollywood (pampered) stars, but in NO way was that for the Veterans.THAT, was done to help production go smoother, and the cover story to the press was that they were making a noble gesture. They all still did it for the money. If not, they could have done something easier, they could have given all monies from ticket sales to charity.
Infact I think the the Movie itself did a terrible job payiing homage to veterans, on either side of the war. I think a film, not exactly like, but pretty close to how "saving Private Ryan" was done. Respectfully. I know what the Love story in Pearl Harbor was Supposed to Symbolize, "the Sate of America, in pretty much lay back, peacefull times", unprepared for a full war. But they did'nt have to go as far as they did. The focus of the movie should have never been about a Silly Love Story. It should have gotten directly to the heart of the causes, the happenings, and the solution of the Battle. All that other "movie" stuff, was just silly.
The reason I don't like Michael Bay is because he is so choppy in his scene shots.
Pearl Harbor was a good movie. But a lot of scenes were cut together, and you think to yourself "what the hell just happended?" When Afflect was fighting, it was cut together with what was happening at Pearl Harbor so poorly. And the scene after the barfight, one second Afflect was puking, and then it quickly cuts to Afflect and Hartnett talking. What is that?
Armageddon was even worse. The first half of the movie was good, then it went COMPLETELY downhill.
