The film industry needs to show John a helluva lot more respect hes made some of the best movies in history including my alltime favorite film halloween
One of the greats. So many top ten titles. Its horrific to think that one of his main masterpieces was a crucial part of his loss of status. How many excellent top funded films we missed out on because of that BS is pure pain.
I think the genius of They Live is that it dives into an eternal truth of humanity: the presence of deception and illusion. So long as there are societies and beliefs, there are always illusions to accompany them.
@Bruce S He does them because he gets PAID. John himself would be the first to admit that money is his primary motivator these days. Nothing wrong with that.
I sooooooooooo agree with you.John has made 5 of my all-time favourites. Hollywood wouldn't be where it is today without folks like, Carpenter,Craven,Sam Raimi and others.John HAS gone down hill,but he's still a master of horror;his musical scores are THE BEST.What an inspiration.
@@qweqqweq2090 it was bigger budget every body got paid more he’s full of shut die t like sequels hates capitalism like in thru live but will sell out in a minute
Funny shit I admire that guy he was to polite escape from LA was shit they all got paid a lot of money and it was a fucking joke riding a surfboard with a rounded leg playing basketball talking to the camera at the end freaking terrible
What was that guy thinking when he asked that? So fucking insulting. JC knows some of his films are better than others, but that fella was a total prick for being so rude in front of everyone. You could see JC was taken aback/quite offended, and rightly so.
Escape from LA was shit he doesn’t like sequels but repeated a lot of shit if he in the film and Russell put the 15 million towards a better screenplay and effects
A guy asked what movie John was more disappointed with, Ghosts of Mars or Escape From L.A.? He then said, "Escape From New York was great but, what the hell happened with Escape From LA?"
@pdw2009 the guy asked after making a great movie like escape from NY what the hell happen in escape of LA. Its a rude question but lol come on we all thought that. The FU from Carpenter classic
Imagine saying that to the great John Carpenter about Escape from LA. I obviously love Escape from NY more, but you don't say that you don't like Escape from LA while John who is on stage answering questions. But would love John to direct another Escape film with Kurt Russell making it a trilogy. Loved John's James Woods story. Though James speaks highly of John.
I would like to have asked him whether or not Tombstone, Unforgiven, etc. caused him to reconsider making westerns as he had originally aspired to do, or at least one.
The next time Carpenter or someone else complains at one of these Q& As about other people remaking his films, someone should just mention his remake of Village of the Damned.
Yah but there is a difference between remaking movies now and then, movies like halloween, jason, and freddy you just dont need to remake, but like older movies that date to the 50s and 60s can use a little reimagining...Its too soon to remake movies like halloween and its ridiculous
Except that nearly every movie from the 50s and 60s and earlier that has been remade within the past thirty years was already a genuine classic revered by fans and audiences. It's sad that the type of garbage that glutted theaters in the 80s is now considered "classic" by little kids who think special effects and explicit gore are the be-all and end-all of horror.

Good for John for standing up for his movies. Even though later in the panel he says he hates them all. lol. But that was awesome!

They live is the most underrated movie of all time. Absolutely brilliant commentary of society. Especially fitting for today’s society.
I think the genius of They Live is that it dives into an eternal truth of humanity: the presence of deception and illusion. So long as there are societies and beliefs, there are always illusions to accompany them.
john carpenter is like the george carlin of directors, he just doesn't care.
@Bruce S He does them because he gets PAID. John himself would be the first to admit that money is his primary motivator these days. Nothing wrong with that.
@@TheKennethECarper "These days" The guy hasn't made a movie in well over a decade and is basically retired at this point.
And he’s a cool mf
Answering the same questions a thousand times.
I sooooooooooo agree with you.John has made 5 of my all-time favourites.

That stare of death he gives after flipping the guy off is priceless
Ghosts of Mars and Escape From LA are both great, fun movies!
I would have been embarrassed if I would have been told FU by John. I probably never would have said that stuff to him to begin with.
@@lifeandThings I wished they showed the guy's reaction. I don't think he was a fan of Carpenter anymore after that haha. He deserved it, though.
No they are crap are you 12?
I love John but I have to respectfully disagree with you there. escape from l.a. was horrible. lol
@@qweqqweq2090 it was bigger budget every body got paid more he’s full of shut die t like sequels hates capitalism like in thru live but will sell out in a minute
not only one of the best directors ever, but also gave the best interview of all time, "fuck you!". what an answer! lol
That guy's children are going to grow up hearing the story of when John Carpenter flipped off their dad.
Funny shit I admire that guy he was to polite escape from LA was shit they all got paid a lot of money and it was a fucking joke riding a surfboard with a rounded leg playing basketball talking to the camera at the end freaking terrible
@@gkroll8467 nah it was good you just didn't understand the themes
@@TANG3RINE95 no you’re a juvenile ass with no taste ya live woke shit like 2018 Halloween
I love John.Thank you for inspiring me.5 of John's films are my all-time favourites.
What was that guy thinking when he asked that? So fucking insulting. JC knows some of his films are better than others, but that fella was a total prick for being so rude in front of everyone. You could see JC was taken aback/quite offended, and rightly so.
He's appears to be a humble and patient with these questions he's likely been asked numerous times in his long career.

the "fuck you" question.
Christopher Davis if you can get John Carpenter to tell you “fuck you” -you can’t beat that 😂
Escape from LA was shit he doesn’t like sequels but repeated a lot of shit if he in the film and Russell put the 15 million towards a better screenplay and effects

Escape from New York,The Thing,In the Mouth of Madness,They Live and Halloween ARE Great.

"fuck you" - John Carpenter.

Good stuff
if John put all of his movie scripts into a book, it would be more sacred than the bible
And more true as well 🤘
I would like to have asked him whether or not Tombstone, Unforgiven, etc. caused him to reconsider making westerns as he had originally aspired to do, or at least one.

Where convention was this panel at?
Sounds like Jeremy from Pizowell 3:40
I did not understand the first question about Halloween.

Unfortunately I didn't see the guy. He was way in the back.
It was me. John Carpenter is a douchebag with no talent
@@armandoschneider3328 simpleton
JC IS A FUCKING LEGEND OF FILM....THE NAME'S PLISSKEN BITCH!!!!!
Lo pan
The next time Carpenter or someone else complains at one of these Q& As about other people remaking his films, someone should just mention his remake of Village of the Damned.

It's john. We all know he only is in it for the money you dopes
Listen to what i said, older movies that could use better effect and that arent nessesarily considered classics, you dont fuck with that stuff
I gotta give it to the guy for asking that question though. The balls on him.
4 years late, but he would have known that everyone would boo him after that.
And let's be honest, Escape from L.A and Ghosts of Mars are really bad.
Ah, it's just "other people's movies" that should be remade. Gotcha. *rolls eyes*
Dario Argento.
What?
Except that nearly every movie from the 50s and 60s and earlier that has been remade within the past thirty years was already a genuine classic revered by fans and audiences.

Ghosts of Mars was crap though
@Bruce S He acted like it was good though.
@KRHETOR What about 'The Thing' then?
