Farelly brothers, Coens, Russos, Wachowskis, Lord and Miller etc.

Pretty good track records for these teams, but are there counter examples or should mid directors just find a partner?

David Benioff and D. B. Weiss

I will not forget. I will not forgive.

edit: I only realized just now that I'm in movies, but I stand by my assertion.

Tbf, they had a pretty good run with the source materials but got greedy.

The Rings of Power have an unknown showrunner duo who seems to be doing much worse

I will admit they were good at bringing someone else's story to life. I still can't forgive them for their later transgressions.

The Wachowski brothers made great movies. The Wachowski sisters... Not so much.

I agree that the movies they did earlier in their careers were more enjoyable to me, but I also am confused

Had to look it up. But they wrote and produced the movie V for Vendetta.

Speed Racer is a wonderful film fully embracing the formalism side of film making. My favorite film by them.

Cloud Atlas was pretty good too; I also liked Sense8 on Netflix

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Cloud Atlas is so much fun!

Ahh I can't think of the movie but there was one on how did this get made that was made by a married couple who ended up getting divorced after one of the movies

Was it the Mario Bros movie with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo?
