Just want to toss out a random, totally unnecessary "Ron Howard SUCKS!"
because I feel like saying it.

Hey, hat-wearing bald guy - bow to your fate, and shave it off or something! But stop wearing the fucking caps!!

And while you're getting your hair cut, read a fucking book. Preferably one on directing movies, or at least a basic primer on art.

5. Why? Is it because you are sick of his syrupy Frank Capra style of...
...over-sentimentalizing?

6. It's partly that, but also his artless framing of the image
and his tedious attempts at visual creativity.

8. "Arrested Development" is pure genius.
That said, he hasn't made a good movie since... um.... :shrug:

9. That is a truly wondrous show
Perhaps the most creative and original thing done in the last ten years on TV.

10. How can you say that with "Arrested Development"?
That is SUCH a quality show!

I've never seen an episode where I didn't LOL.

12. But he's only a producer of that show, too, remember
not a director.

11. A "Ron Howard SUCKS" is never unnecessary, in my opinion.
Nothing personal against the guy, except that I think his "films" are terrible, and even if they weren't he is possibly the most bizarrely overrated filmmaker like, ever. Never be ashamed to share those feelings with the world, my friends.

14. Sure he does, but what about Thomas Kinkade?
Does he suck too? If so, how bad does he suck?

And, is he bald? If so, does he think he can fool everyone with a baseball cap?

:-)

15. Oh, come on. He's a decent director. Christ,there are far worse out there.
"A Beautiful Mind" is a terrific, well made film. And I'm looking forward to seeing "Cinderella Man".

Ron Howard is a decent, workmanlike director. No, he doesn't create "art". But so fucking what? Christ, I'd rather see the worst of Ron Howard than the best of a piece of shit like Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich.
