Video Description
Some movies can send directors soaring, others can send them reeling. In this video, I want to take a look at the latter. Some of these careers are in a better state than others, while others are all but over. Few of them deserved it, though, except maybe 2 or 3. Directing is not for the faint of heart, after all. 00:00 Intro 00:38 Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, and the Parody Movies 03:44 Kerry Conran and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow 05:58 Kinka Usher and Mystery Men 07:47 Tobe Hooper and Poltergeist 09:40 Paul Verhoeven and Showgirls and Starship Troopers 14:05 Josh Trank and Fantastic Four 16:28 Joel Schumacher and Batman and Robin 19:31 Directing is Not for the Faint of Heart At 13:38, I meant to say Black Book, not Black Rock. Thanks to @89tilinfinity29 for the catch. #BenStiller #TobeHooper #RoboCop #StarshipTroopers #Helldivers2 #TotalRecall #JoshTrank #FantasticFour #JoelSchumacher #BatmanandRobin #Batman #Robin #ScaryMovie #Parody #Shrek #KungFuPanda #Rekt #Movie #Film #Entertainment
