Dario Argento (I'm BTW a huge fan - Suspiria and Inferno being IMO his masterpieces, but Tenebrea or Phenomena are also brilliant) is undoubtedly a cult film director, but " one of the most famous italian moviemakers ever" ?!?! ....you must be joking.
I also seriously doubt that making cult horror B-movies (actually, his movies are a mix of thriller, horror and soft erotism that italians call "gallio") in the 70's and 80's made you rich.

Dario Argento is a huge figure in pop culture Italy.
Ask 10 random people on the street, all of them would know Dario Argento and can name at least one of his movies but probably only 6 of them would know Pasolini (and even less can name one of his films).
His movies like Suspiria have been huge hit internationally and on top of that he already came from a wealthy family. Also he has been director for films festivals and crap like that. He is the classic person that you can see in any kind of random talk show without a good reason.
The genre you are referring to is called "giallo", or thriller, which is what Alfred Hitchcock movies genre is like, he also was a huge inspiration for Dario. I am not sure why would you say he has made b-movies as his films have all been big productions and some of them had a big impact in Italian culture (Profondo Rosso theme is the de facto scary movies song for us).

Yeah, thanks for the great info.
Anyway if you would have asked 100 people in this very forum if they knew Dario Argento before having read on some media that the slut's father was a film director, I guess that 98% would have answered "who the fuck is he" ?
The "most famous italian moviemakers ever" (your words) are Bertolucci, Antonioni, Passolini, Rosselini, Scola, Fellini, Visconti, Benigni, ect. But Argento, globally famous ? ......... you must be joking, he was a niche film director, almost unknown outside of Italy, apart for horror cult movies fans or cinephiles.
The remake of Suspiria is expected for October BTW.

Never said he is the most famous ever, but one of them. I should have added among Italians, didn't mean to be internationally. He is a still a super known name in Italy even though his movies since mid-90s have been shit.
I think you are mistaking me saying he is very famous with implying that he is as a good as a director as some of the ones you mentioned, which I am not.
I doubt majority of RVF members would know who Scola or Visconti are neither.

RE: The Anthony Bourdain Thread (RIP)
Occasionally you have movie makers - or better put you had them more in the past - who were incredibly successful and famous within their nations, but hardly abroad. In the past many European countries had such super-stars who were hardly known abroad. There is a line of Danish, German, Austrian, Spanish cinema that hardly anyone has seen. Some French, Italian cinema was known, but you know the movies that filled the cinemas in the 1950s-70s in Germany? It was often local commercial successes that hardly anyone cared for even 10 miles past the nearest border.
------------
This comment about Bourdain is fitting:
Quote:People who speculated about Anthony Bourdain being a cuck (and possibly committing suicide over it) were right after all. Imagine paying $380,000 to a 16 year old boy to not brag about banging your woman...
***
Bourdain was cucked by his wife, also, who was fucking her BJJ trainer while he was overseas filming his TV show. Then his girlfriend cucked him with that French journalist and then he paid one of her accusers off to help her. Bourdain may have been a so-called "success" in his TV business, but he cucked big time by women. Typical blue pill Boomer.
***
Bourdain was a millionaire many times over, bestselling author, TV star.
And he got shittier, more unfaithful road worn pussy than your average Chad doing HVAC or crown molding installation.
Yeah - since he killed himself so shortly after paying off that punk, then short time later saw his "love of life" obviously cucking him again with a more Alpha man. He was a sad Blue Pill schmuck - thinking that he would grow old together with this "love of his life".
The Blue Pill kills once again.

I don't know, man. We can play the "where would their game be without money/fame" game all day - it's always something to ponder with celebrities - but Trump in his day at least kept trim and could rock a good suit, and even people who dislike him will admit he has natural charisma and force of personality. Staying off alcohol as long as he has also speaks to a sense of self-discipline that rich and poor guys alike have trouble acquiring.
That surely nets him ranking over Hurricane Harvey, who went from looking like a chubby extra with goofy hair in a bad Will Ferrell comedy in his youth, to something out of a Lord of the Rings movie from about 1998 to today. A lot of the #MeToo crowd have claimed he had charisma too, but just as many have talked about how much of a slob he is and has always been. Sure, some women will forgive a belly and a bad face on a guy if he's got the right swagger, but pigging out in front of them, belching and farting, making gross pig noises - I don't know any amount of "Alpha" or bulletproof game that offsets that.
Take away Trump's cash and connections, and I can still see him bagging some hot women in his 50s and 60s. Take away Harvey's cash and connections, and, Jesus, I can't imagine the kind of chick who'd actually agree to...
Never mind.

RE: The Anthony Bourdain Thread (RIP)
Beautiful piece from the DM (horrible source so I will quote, but here is a link).
Quote:
Asia Argento's new boyfriend reveals they made love on a table for an hour on their second date - as Anthony Bourdain's close friend Daniel Boulud says the chef died of a broken heart
Asia Argento has opened up about her new relationship with Fabrizio Corona, a paparazzo who recently served a year in jail for blackmailing celebrities
Corona said in an interview earlier this week that the pair made love for an hour on a table during their second date
'We talked for hours ... Then I stood up, I took her head in my hands, we kissed, I laid her on the table and we made beautiful love for an hour,' said Corona
Argento, who has admitted to having open relationships, was dating Anthony Bourdain when he took his life in June
Bourdain's close friend Daniel Boulud is also opening up and saying he believes the celebrity chef died of a broken heart
'I don’t know exactly but I know … I know that what he did was something that was a shock to everyone, absolutely,' said Boulud
And the Chad who was cleaning her pipes:
Currently out of office.
