Wanna Work On The New Terrence Malick Film'!
Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Man, it’d be awesome to have an AICN reader get this gig so they could drop us a few crumbs about the one and only Terrence Malick as he gets ready to make his first film since THE THIN RED LINE. This seems to confirm that CHE is going to be his next film, and that it's going to start shooting as soon as this summer, cause for celebration.
Check this out:
Hi Harry,
Being a big fan of Terrence Malick, I've been reading the recent stories about his possible next film. Colin Farrell huh? I just saw this online yesterday on the job boards. Maybe an opportunity for another AICN spy??

by atticus finch
That was one of the worst movies of all time, right up there with "Cabin Fever".

It is one of my favorite films of all time. I, for one, find it quite poetic and beautiful; a meditation on war. It was a quiet, surreal, thought-provoking film filled with beauty which, like Solaris, pissed off millions of viewers who just don't get it. So many people think they like film, but they don't. They like factory-manufactured tripe. That someone would compare TTRL to Cabin Fever turns my stomach. TTRL was a masterpiece in every way, and I for one would give my left nut to see the original uncut five hour version of the film in its entirety. The complaints made against this film--"I want to see more explosions and action"--are rooted entirely in ignorance.

By the way (blatant plug), you should all go buy my book The Greatest War Films of All Time: A Quiz Book, which just landed in bookstores this past month. Later.

There's no-one I admire more than those who make it in the film industry. How on earth someone can survive for a year or whatever with no income. It's bloody ridiculous.

will i be intricately involved with every aspect of the filmmaki
by heywoodfloyd
only in a self-delusional, hyper-masturbatory, virtual internet dork universe like aicn could an unpaid intership on a hollywood movie be spun as "a chance to work with malick". like any of you fanboys would give up the security of your parents basement for a job anyway. i've never seen a group of geeks more uniformed about the movie business in my life--you guys make a freshman year film student look like Darryl fuckin Zanuck.

...so Mallicks a tight-arsed bastard is he? Non-union shit eh? Sounds like he's on another second-rate Kubrick trip. Fuckin' hippies - when will they ever learn... THE SIXTIES ARE DEAD - KILL EVERYONE OVER THIRTY etc... etc.!?!
-
i sort of enjoyed THIN RED LINE as an offbeat vision of war. but com'on... a shot of a soldier panting in the grass... then a bird flying overhead... rapid handicam shot of the countryside... closeup on an iguana for 2 minutes... COM'ON YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT SORT OF STUFF ! you can't get away with that shooting style for i hour +. is it art?.... uhhh... it's UNCONVENTIONAL. does that qualify it as art or a "tonal poem" (or whatever it was called in the last talkback). having said that, i liked the assault on the hill and the way they represented combat. the close-ups on the japanese prisoners were EXCELLENT; it instilled a realism never seen before.... but it's not high art, guys.
-
Not slave for the fucker. No thanks.
-
Seems like if I were charging a hill against the Japanese who were well dug in, I would contemplate the grass blades and birds overhead for as long as I could, so to prolong the inevitable barrage of MG fire that would take my young life. Ever notice when you're sitting in the doctor's office, how you count the tiles on the ceiling or study the texture of the arm of the chair you're sitting in?

Nowhere does that ad say anything about working for the director. It's an office internship. You will make copies, fetch coffee, and perhaps answer phones or write coverage. you might see malick once. you might not.

If these poor chaps plan on working all day and not get paid... how the hell are they gonna get money to eat? buy stuff? live???? Take up a second job?

Well Wolf, I guess the " pretentious dull pseudointellectual hack" of whom you are referring is one Martin Scorsese, because he's the one that called THE THIN RED LINE the best film of the 90s. I don't personally agree with that statement; to my mind, JFK or PULP FICTION or FIGHT CLUB are the best movies of the 90s, but hey, apples and oranges....

...during the film. C'mon people boring is boring. Why attempt to validate a so called piece of "art" that you'll never watch again. Malick made one good film...BADLANDS. The rest are all just overblown hype and bullshit. This whole "war is mans creation" is horsecrap through and though. If Malick took half the time he does smoking dope and pontificating about little birdies with broken wings he may end up making a good film some day. Maybe if Malick would go back to school he could take classes about things like...biology...and uhh...anthropology. Might actually learn something tangible about the human condition. Malick is the biggest overrated hack since Tarantino, but at least Quentin actually puts out product and has no pretentions about the crap he shits out.

Go on then Moriarty, go and work for Mallick for a year for free

it's hard to take anyone seriously who spouts "pretentious" and yells "pseudointellectual" yet cannot verbalize why a particular film doesn't work beyond "it sucks" or "it's boring". perhaps the limits in your language illustrate the limits in your thinking.

"Boring" and "unrealistic" with characters who act in patently f
by fluffyunbound
What are you looking for here, then? Criticism of the lighting? But I'll give you a bit more, if you like. It isn't JUST that the characters spout boring nonsense that real-life soldiers would not stop to say. It's the mind-numbing stupidity of the sentiments they unrealistically deliver monologues about. It's not that the feel is anti-war. The HBO production "When Trumpets Fade" is a good example of an anti-war film that manages to communicate its content without making you want to throw up. No, the problem with Thin Red Line is that the anti-war message is delivered by FUCKING PANSY ASS ANNOYING FUCKS. If I had been on that island and had listened to any of this dialogue, I would have shot the offending mother fuckers myself. When you attend a movie and every character's every action makes you want to beat them with a piece of wood with nails in it, and where every shot choice the director makes turns him into another annoying character being just as big an a-hole in visual terms as the characters are when they speak, it's hard to enjoy the film.
