Hi folks! It�s been more than a year (I guess or even yearS) that I opened a thread here. Well it�s not that I opened this thread just because �I have to�, no it�s not that. It is because I�ve just got this bright idea, to write �notes� to the director or rather to a film crew to tell�em something that they should include/leave out in their next film. Or tell/ note down to the director one or two things, not to do something etc. Or give�em the hell for shooting a particular moment that you hated it etc�
Ready to write your short footnotes? Well, this is your chance to tell�em what they should do or what they shouldn�t do in their next films?

I go first;

A short note to Sam Mendes:
��When you shoot another Bond film, you should leave out the sex scenes in your Bond films. Coz, they are and they seem pointless in your films. And focus MORE on crash-boom-bang, coz I love and can�t get tired of watching action scenes in Bond movies��

Why would someone drop one of the parts of the Bond formula though?

To Bryan Singer:

Before directing the new X Men movie, go and actually watch the first 3 films, remember what happened in them, dont contradict them in your prequel, and please tell Michael Fassbender that Magneto isn't supposed to have an Irish accent.

To Ridley Scott:

When making your Prometheus sequel, please get a different writer to script it and actually read it just to see if it actually makes sense.

And to counterbalance

To Chris Nolan

Change the record already, "We know you like dark, gritty realism but it's gotten old now and not every movie has to done in this style"

To Whoever Directs the new Star Wars Movies

DO NOT F*CK THEM UP. You will have an entire legion of troops (see what I did there?) wanting to kill you and your family with fire for all eternity.

To James Cameron...
*in the style of Carlito Brigante* What the fock is happening to you?

To Paul Thomas Anderson and Frank Darabont...
Make more movies please.

To Quentin Tarantino...
Love your work and everything, but if you could just get your characters to shut up occasionally things would be perfect. Also, I'd love to see you do a science fiction film.

To Clint Eastwood...
There are ways to move the camera other than a steadicam, you know.

To Matthew Vaughn...
Ever heard of quality control? Yeah, the CGI in your movies could use a bit of that. Otherwise, good stuff.

To Zack Snyder...
None of that slow-mo crap in Man Of Steel please.

To George Lucas...
Fuck you. Sincerely.

To Steven Spielberg...
Have a word with your buddy George about releasing original cuts of movies like you did with the E.T. blu ray. Also...um...love you.

To David Fincher...
We all know you're actually a serial killer, so if George doesn't listen to Steve, just kill the fucker. In the style of the Gluttony murder (though it wouldn't take very long). Also, make The Girl Who Played With Fire NOW!

To JJ Abrams...
Please don't fuck this up.

Mr Tarantino - please stay behind the camera.

Juan Solanas - please reshoot the last 15 minutes of Upside Down so it actually has a vaguely satisfying ending, rather than someone coming in & saying "Hey, everything's been resolved offscreen. Live happily ever after!"
