It's time for his Oscar


Dude looks like Lo Pan now, 71, smoker, looks like anytime in the last 20 years he could drop down dead.

It's time to give John Carpenter some serious recognition for his work.

One of the most influential directors. Creates Gold from nothing, low budget B-Movies with style and substance that still hold up because of his on point film making.

Sound and vision Carpenter is one of the best of all time.

Low budget gold and producing iconic soundtracks which people still try to emulate today

Top 10 directors if not top 5 depending on your preferences.

It's like if Spielberg only got to make budget genre films like Duel and made hit after hit.

He just received a legacy award from the Cannes Film Festival. Maybe he could get a lifetime achievement Oscar. This guy will probably never direct another movie again and if it did it wouldn't be an Oscar-type film.

My favourite director of all. Great to hear about the legacy award. Would be fantastic if they gave him a lifetime achievement Oscar.
