We all know Libras for their immaculate taste, beauty and creativity. But I've now discovered a different side of Libras I didn't know before. The bad movie maker. I first noticed in film theory class and I'll give you three of the most famous examples. (Keep in mind that even though these movies are horrible they're all cult classics. #1 Claudio Fragasso (born October 2) writer and director of many bad movies out there he's probably best known for the infamous 'Troll 2'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFtHOs_bcZg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OiD6IlBmtk&feature=related #2 Edward D. Wood (born October 10) Director and writer of movies like 'Glen or Glenda?', ' Plan 9 from outer space' and 'night of the ghouls' - he is usually referred to the 'worst director of all times'. The 1994 movie 'Ed Wood' starring Johnny Depp was about him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dUe26lFFlM&feature=related #3 Tommy Wiseau (born October 3)
I think his cult movie 'The Room' tops everything in matters like bad acting, bad writing and bad directing. Not only is he writer and director of this movie but he also stars in the title role. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lmiDW7BsIk&list=FLoiXNePTptWxPd8LDX-IqVQ&in dex=3&feature=plpp_video Please notice that while the quality is bad all these movies are unintetionally funny and vastly entertaining!

One of the most successful Spanish film makers of his generation:Pedro Almodovar (Libra Sun): He directed "Volver" which starred Penelope Cruz who was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award. Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Screenplay and Best Actress for Penelope. Libra's make fine film makers. Like every other sun sign there are good and bad in the bunch. IP: Logged |

I'm aware of that. Never said they weren't. Where did I write that Libras are generally bad filmmakers? My very first sentence says exactly that. Just wanted to give a quite funny example of some who don't fit the stereotype of the perfect Libra.

Sounds like somebody is FED UP WITH THIS WORLD Sorry, not snarking on you, just laughing about The Room. The amazing thing about that movie is that Tommy Wiseau actually raised a ton of money, relatively speaking, to film and market it ($6 million). So like, he clearly has a gift for fundraising.

Hey I'm not chastising you, I'm just providing a difference in opinion. You asked where you stated that Libra's make bad movie makers, and I quoted the above. Your words exactly. I never said you said that, I responded by saying that I think they make fine film makers and I cited an example, Almodovar. There's good and bad in all sun signs. But don't worry I got the joke.

Lol, if I reacted like that to all the **** that is said about Virgos there would be no end to my days. But yeah if you want to read it like that.... Come on, don't be offended. I think it is very clear that I am not talking about all Libra filmmaker, since I am taking film theory class I know alot more good Libra filmmakers than bad ones. What I tried to point out (but it seems like I failed to get that across) is that those movies - even though bad are successfully so. Well, I should stop trying to argue with you guys, it won't go anywhere. IP: Logged |

SmilingHeart, it was a fine post. I'm not disagreeing with you and I'm not offended because I'm not a film maker. I just wanted to add an alternative perspective as a Libra. It was a good joke though. IP: Logged |
