Hard to imagine a current filmmaker slagging off his contemporaries the way Carpenter does here. This hasn’t aged well- he was pretty didactic when he made “They Live”.
He's sitting outside the Haddonfield spooky house, this interview was shot in 1978 during the production of HALLOWEEN - it got shown in the UK in 1979 (I remember seeing it). The full interview has Pleasance onsite in his role commenting that he doesn't agree with the way it's being directed ! He apparently changed his mind after seeing the movie.
I think Carpenter was unwittingly predicting the crash of Hollywood’s “New Wave” movement which would happen just a year or two later, most notably with “Heaven’s Gate” but with other films as well.
No, we are not. Cinema peeked in the 30s and died in the end of the studio system and the golden era. All the later stuff (except from Blade Runner and Siesta) are garbage, pathetic, dumb, depressing and BORING, boring soooo f**** boring pieces of American garbage wtf🤦♂️😂
I think given his age he's just not that bothered anymore. He gets a nice fat cheque for doing nothing and playing video games. He kind of admitted that in interviews over the last 10 years or so
1970s J Carpenter , compared to todays "I dont care , so long they give me checks , they can remake my movies." R Altman had 5 nominations for Oscar , but most of his movies were flops , A Wedding (1978), A Perfect Couple (1979), Quintet (1979), HealtH (1980) . Popeye (1980), Streamers (1983), Secret Honor (1984), O.C. and Stiggs (1985), and Beyond Therapy (1987) , 10 years of flops , mainly movies he produced himself were not popular .
What an interview! Man, he's shooting from the hip here....
his hair was cool back in those days
I think what he actually hates is propaganda not a message, which is fair enough.
That makes sense, especially when he does a complete 180 a decade later.
Its the same thing as well
I'd stop the clock at the late 80's
before the pendulum swing

Quello che dovrebbero trasmettere in tv... grazie per quello che condividi
If this is 1979 then I'm guessing this is during the filming of The Fog (which was released in 1980). Thanks for this great footage.

hilarious. were all looking back at his films like "why cant it be the 70s again"

Altra perla, grazie Grou...ehm, Luca :D
I wonder what he thinks about them nowadays
It’s interesting that Carpenter finds Altman’s films masturbatory but he enjoys Tarantino’s work...
Tastes change I guess.
@@johnvasiliou9095
I goon think he ever liked Altman’s work tho
Tarantinos number one goal though is to entertain
They are pretty different filmmakers lol
Im sure carpenter regrets sayin some of these things as he himself is a big sell out in allowing rob zombie to remake his classic Halloween

Message is awful. Theme and raising ideas, giving a pov. That's the art
"he's not a good filmmaker at all"
This is coming from the guy that made Village of the Damned - glass houses and all that...
