Quote: Animalman said:Seriously, though: how many moderately prolific, critically acclaimed directors can you name that haven't reused the same people?
You and I have different opinions on what directors make this qualification.
Plus, when you brought up re-use, I'm thinking more in the context of consistent whoring rather than isolated incidents.
Quote: Ok...but I'm willing to bet most(if not all) of the directors you like have reused actors. So, why the double-standard?
There's a difference between "reuse" and "constant reuse." Smith, Tarantino, and Wes Anderson are guilty of the latter and Nolan seems to be on his way to following in their footsteps. In the case of the former, a director like David Fincher comes to mind who's inconsecutively used Brad Pitt in two of his movies.
Unlike Fincher, whom I find repeats the use of a certain actor only when it suits the skills of said actor, every other director on my list just milks the star/cult power of the particular people they reuse.
