Capone's Art-House Round-Up with the Oscar-nominated A PROPHET and Denmark's TERRIBLY HAPPY!!!
Hey, folks. Capone in Chicago here, with a couple of films that are making their way into art houses around America this week (maybe even taking up one whole screen at a multiplex near you). Enjoy…
A PROPHET (UN PROPHÉTE)
If your plan is to spend the weekend catching up on Oscar nominees before Sunday night's big ceremony, don't forget that France's Best Foreign Language nominee is expandinging this weekend. This sweeping epic is a brutal coming-of-age film about Malik (Tahar Rahim), a mousy, illiterate thug of Arab decent, who gets thrown in jail for six years at age 19, and not only toughens up over the years but rises up through the French prison system to become one the key importers of contraband (everything from iPods and DVD players to drugs) into the prison. He is weak and far too young for this world, and is targeted early on by everyone. But when he comes under the protective wing of some mafia-connected Corsican prisoners (after carrying out a horrific mission for them), he begins to gain confidence and educate himself.
The film is a staggering look at how horribly corrupt the prison system is (at least in France), but more than that, it's a fantastic life's journey. You can't help but be impressed by the way Malik comes into his own, and it breaks your heart to think that if he'd been able to apply himself before he was sent to prison, he might have led a happy and productive life. He begins to run side businesses that bring him a great deal of money and power, and soon he begins to get day passes (7am to 7pm), which he uses to start up even more illegal trades.
The film is directed and co-written by Jacques Audiard, who helmed READ MY LIPS and THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED--two emotionally rich and outstanding works. But A Prophet has an extra level of greatness to it by not only showing up how a boy becomes a man behind bars, but also how a person goes from being victim to become the man in charge. Malik goes from threatened to threatening in a gradual but profound, even disturbing way. I like how he plays up his Corsican connects when it suits him, but falls in line with his Muslim brethren when a favor is needed. He learns the fine art of playing one group off another; he's quite the politician. The film alternates between fascinating, stark, brutal, and heart breaking, sometimes all within the space of a single sequence. In fact, A PROPHET is one of the single greatest prison-life stories. It simply and memorably tracks the slow and steady progression one young man takes down his own path to hell, and it's a journey you will not easily forget. See this Oscar-worthy film as soon as humanly possible.
TERRIBLY HAPPY
This wonderful little number from Denmark covers some familiar territory but with some great twists. TERRIBLY HAPPY takes the basic plot of HOT FUZZ (which isn't a wholly original story idea, but I'm trying to leave bread crumbs that take you somewhere familiar) and filters it through the eyes and sensibilities of early Coen Brothers works like BLOOD SIMPLE. The film centers on a Danish police officer who is sent to a remote country town after he's had a mental breakdown involving his wife. The thinking is that if he can keep the peace in a place that almost never has crime, he can eventually get his head on straight and come back to Copenhagen.
But not long after his arrival, a few things become clear. The bogs that surround (and sometimes creep into, especially after a hard rain) the town are hiding all sorts of treasures, and the only reason that crimes aren't reported more in the town is because folks seem to like to take care of their own business and not let outsiders poke their noses around. Officer Robert Hanson (Jakob Cedergren) doesn't try hard to hide his disdain for this podunk community, but when a local woman (Lene Maria Christensen) claiming to be abused by her husband (Kim Bodnia) arrives at his door, his life becomes a lot more complicated. Much like BLOOD SIMPLE, director Henrik Ruben Genz's TERRIBLY HAPPY turns into a new noir offering without you even realizing it. Is this local woman telling the truth about her husband, or is she a femme fatale desperate to leave this small-minded town with the only other person around who seem to share her feelings about the place?
The added dimension to the movie is that while this backwards town would be enough to cause paranoia and nightmares in even the most sane person, Robert is not that person. He's already halfway to Crazytown when the movie opens, as he obsesses over not having seen his wife and young daughter in months. The town seems to be encouraging his dark thoughts, as well as adding a few new ones to the roster. This is a place with no secrets (medical records might as well be put out in the public library), yet everyone seems to be keeping several at any given time. And this is the kind of story that I thought, while being incredibly enjoyable to watch, would be wholly predictable as well. Boy, was I wrong about that. And the final scene, occurring just as you think the film's surprises have run out, offers one last opportunity to yank the rug out from under you and leave you with an eerie feeling in your soul. I'm a sucker for Danish films any day of the week, but TERRIBLY HAPPY is one of the best I've seen in quite some time, with some of the best oddball performances in recent memory. There are nice touches of humor, suspense, and straight-up drama, with a dash of the grotesque for good measure. Oh, you'll enjoy this one a whole lot.

two very good films indeed.
But I never really get why these type of films are classified as art house, I mean they are bascially genre films in non english language. -
You still can't spent 4 second before posting to do a bloody spell check ?
-
Malik is not exactly a thug when he enters prison, in fact it's never clearly stated just what he was imprisoned for, if anything at all. I think given how the film ends, Audiard was trying to make a point about the irony of a person entering and experiencing the prison system.
-
Why are great films that happen not to be in English automatically Art House.
UN PROPHÉTE is a truly great genre movie that would be up for lot's of Oscar's in a Goodfellas sort of way apart from language.
It's also probably the best film of 2009 tied with The Hurt Locker.
-
quite an uplifting end to such a brutally realised film.
I think the Art House tag is irrelevant but perhaps correct in the context that - I saw the film at my local 'independent' movie theatre the brilliant Tyneside Cinema - it didn't play at all on the mainstream cinemas. -
A Prophet is brilliant. If you've never done subtitles before make this your first. It'll change everything. Honest!
-
Haha. Thanks for the brilliant plug! I'm the programmer! Glad you enjoyed it/us! :-)
-
I'll be seeing you tonight for 'Exit through the Gift shop'.
caught 'MicMacs' and 'City of the lost children' over last week - and got tickets for Aliens on Monday! you guys rule! -
the first time I attended the Tyneside Cinema was for the original (1991?) release of Akira... and I fell asleep halfway through! LOL
-
Thanks v much! Hope you enjoy the Banksy! Were trying to land Akira for our free bar shows, so watch out for that. Fingers crossed! Better stop hogging the talkback, but keep on spreading the word! www.tynesidecinema.co.uk
-
I don't throw this comparison around lightly, but as sprawling crime dramas go, it could be mentioned in the same breath as The Godfather.
-
this post is on foreign movies... and says 'Art House' in the title.... the trolls will probably have ran off to flame Tim Burton and each other, over on Harry's post.
-
really did rock, maybe my favorite movie from 2009, along with Fantastic Mr. Fox, Brothers Bloom, Up In The Air and A Serious Man
-
"A Prophet" and "White Ribbon" were both brilliant films and should be competing for best Picture as 2 of the 10, not just Foreign Film. In fact, they ought to ditch the foreign desination all together and just put them all into the Best Picture category if they're going to go with 10 flicks.That'll get rid of all the political horseshit that goes on and the disqualification of really good films because not enough of the film was in the country's native language.And don't tell me this is a showcase for "American" films only, because British films get nominated all the time.English language should not be the only qualifier for a "Best Picture" and both of those films are head, shoulders and waistline above tripe like "The Blind Side".

I think she was actually trying to be gracious in her pufferatic way. She's one of those "dead figure" costume designers and was dedicating her award to the designers of less showier things.She was dressed like a peacock, though, and spoke with that oh-so-articulate British accent, so I can understand thinking she was something of a snob.
-
with our trademarked poo humor.Plus, with an insta-fresh refresh, we might be able to hold off the Lostback for once.

Sandy Powell's arrogant acceptance speech and why I dislike her so very much: http://tinyurl.com/yjhv2ch ALSO, to catch folks up, I tried watching TRON last night and found it unwatchable. It's a truly silly movie.

I wanted to make sure we had continuity. Posting before a BAMF is a tricky proposition.

Flick, I really liked "Depart rapscallions," too!

I can type again!!!! last site had gotten sooooo slow I had to type on the processor and cut and paste it here ...

Kind of a "previously on..." recap.

Thought you were out at a rave or something last night. I stayed up until two.

Did you see my defense of Sandy Powell?

"Bitches leave" is still the official rallying cry, but you must adjust it appropriately for each hijacked thread.

I agree with you- she's not a "villain" per se, she's just one of those kinds of ladies that tries to say something nice but sucks at doing it. It's a product of being in a world that does not contain much reality.
-
...how old you are, but you have to try to put yourself in the mindset of the time to watch TRON.Computers at that time felt sort of like science back when they were first discovering electricity...the real shit they were learning seemed so amazing it was indistinguishable from magic. I think the concept was nifty, and the visuals worked remarkably well...considering.Interestingly and coincidentally, once inside the computer, the movie is littered with ALICE IN WONDERLAND references.
-
...if only for a young Jeff Bridges channeling Han Solo.

AVATAR, a pissy, pouty look plastered on its usually smug, full-of-itself face, stomps over to SAVING PRIVATE RYAN to get some sympathy."Dude," says RYAN, "You can't stand here. I'm saving this spot for UN PROPHETE.""But, but, but, they told me this was where The Real Winners stand. Look, I brought enough money to buy the drinks, if that's what you're worried about.""Oh, gee, put that wad away. That's so gauche. Nobody waves around their wallet in here! Where did you come from?""Um, I came here straight off the boat. Of course, it took me 15 years.""Oh, sorry. You're still talking? Look, D9 has got a table over there. Wouldn't you be more at home there?""Hey! That's the kiddies table! Look," he spun around to find SAVING PRIVATE RYAN had already hurried off to Prince's show with WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE on his elbow.
-
I'm 32- I would have been at the prime age to watch this in the 80s but something about it never appealed to me. I had a friend who loved it, but he also loved eating paste.
But you're right- for its time, it was an imaginative concept- and the visuals are interesting, but for me, they're tiring. I think I can chalk that up to my general dislike of video games-- which I ind generally exhausting after about an hour of playing one. -

"Um, a movie where they actually go into a computer and become part of a video game? Seriously? That sounds, um, really, really dumb."How times change, huh?

...I thought it was the coolest thing ever...and it bored the shit out of me at the same time. And the computer interiors get grindingly monotonous after a while, especially if you aren't quite old enough to grasp the plot details.

by UP IN THE AIR, who was trying to show-off his newly-acquired foreign super-model accessory."Hey, maaaa-aan. Nice arm candy, dude.""Yeah, thanks," smirked the improbably handsome jawline with the salt-n-pepper hair. "She doesn't speak English.""Look, maaaa-aan, I hope you're groovy with me getting this award. I know your director told you you were a shoe-in.""Yeah, sure. I've got one, already. I'm working on being the next Jack Nicholson, anyway.""Oh, that's crazeeee, maaaa-an. That tie you got on really ties your whole on-somb together. Groovy.""Yeah. Yeah. Listen, you seen THE BLIND SIDE. I wanna hit on that before it's been all over, you know.""I don' know, maaaa-an. Heard she came with some thick biker dude, maaaa-an. Crazeeee. Have you met PRECIOUS? She's adorable!""Dude! I don't do fat chicks. It's in my rider. Svelte and non-English-speaking.""Understand, dude. Understand."

that's this Saturday night...Last night I couldn't pass up the chance to expose my daughter to the Beatles music library...She is reading a book on music theory and how music affects the brain and she was asking me about the beatles because the book used thier music as examples of a lot to it's points...So we spent several hours listening to "Day in the Life" which she LOVED and others, many of which she told me, "I thought that was just a car commercial" We then cursed the dead body of Michael Jackson for whoreing out some of the best music in the last century for jingles...I think it was time well spent...

to distraction by pausing dramatic between every word and emphasizing wrong syllables."I am [dramatic pause] so [dramatic pause] humBLED with THIS [dramatic pause] recogNItion and GRATEful [dramatic pause] to all THOSE who have shaVED their legs so [dramatic pause] I don't HAVE to.""Yes, mm-hmm," answered BASTERDS to be polite. He usually was much more verbose, with word upon word upon word flowing in heavily-accented German as if from a college undergrad's thesaurus. Tonight, though, he wanted to run off to play über-bingo rather than listen to the insufferable woman monopolizing conversation at his table.

-
this moment any longer. Firmly grasping its six awards it marched straight up to AVATAR and asked, "What's wrong with the new wife? Is she sick or something?""Oh, sure, now you rub it in. When we were together it was all werewolf angst and surfer homoeroticism! Now, you're all serious and sexy and hanging out with younger, handsomer men.""Don't hate the player. Hate the game.""Bitch.""Limp dick."

THE BLIND SIDE was pretending to give a fuck about poor people.ACTING!!!!!

She had gotten a dollar bill in some change and someone had drawn Christioan crosses on the pyramid and the seal on the back and in bold letters written..."God Loves You..."Daughter took a pen and underneath that wrote "...But, Satan will let you go ALL THE WAY!"We laughed and laughed...also, we were VERY high...

and trying to explain cinematography to a computer which was busy world-building."Sssssshhhhh," whispered STAR TREK to THE YOUNG VICTORIA who he'd just met outside and had been flirting with ever since.

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE meets THE HURT LOCKER at the after-party and says, "Sure, you're filled with uncontainable joy now, but I'm warning you, you're about to spend the next ten years as a bunch of cry-babies' favorite whipping boy." "I'm not really worried. I'm secure in myself," responds HURT. "By the way, who's that shaggy, morose, suicidal-looking merfer over in the corner sucking on the bottle of Jack?" "Oh, that's CRASH. Stay away from him. Mean, mean drunk. Can't say I really blame him, though."

And the TRON LEGACY trailer looks cool too! I remember as a kid my brother and I and some friends would all get frisbees and play "Tron" in the front yard. You threw the frisbee, trying to hit a part of someone's body, and they could block with their frisbee, and people would be eliminated until two were left, and they would duel it out. So much fun.

THE PRINCESS & THE FROG, and some Celtic girl were stuck together at a too-small table near the door to the kitchen.Only UP was feeling in any sort of party mood. "Come on, guys! What's with the long faces? This was the year they finally took us seriously! I was nominated in the big category!""Shut up with that already, UP," exclaimed an exasperated FOX. "You've been running around for a month thinking you're some kind of BEAUTY & THE BEAST, and, frankly, we're all about up to here with it, UP.""Listen, you," grumbled UP (actually, it was Ed Asner grumbling in front of a microphone on the other side of the room). "I've had enough of your snark.""Yeah? What are you gonna do about it? If I weren't busy right now showing my arm candy around the room, I'd give you a pawful of snark, old man."Before a fight could break out, SITA came up to their table to get their drink orders.

And despite how Disney tries to make it sound impressive, that the rest of the flick is basically coloured-in photocopies?

is due today. The geek hype on that one is hot and heavy. I kinda liked the theatrical cut, but I thought it felt incomplete and rushed. I hope the DC does its job.

not sure exactly why, since it is the kind of movie I would have seen back in the day...I saw it the first time on a Laser-disk in like '82 or '83....Anybody else remember the 33 rpm record sized Laser-disk technology?Wonder why it never caught on?

-
I have the Laser-disc of Tron! I don't mind getting off my fat arse to change discs either. But Subby, turning it over went the way of the dodo reasonably early on. It took a decade or so for them to shrink that shit down to CD size (it IS basically a big cd that had to fit picture as well - therefore the album-size). So much better than vhs though, and even stuff like Dolby Digital and DTS was introduced there. The only truly new thing DVD gave was animated menus. Whoopty-do. Ah, good ol' LD.

...a doc on the rise and fall of the Australian B, B-, and to the B-ⁿ movies.BIG FUN.
If you're like me, there's no way you're going to track most of these movies down...the movie is basically enlightening, funny, self deprecating, passionate, ironic, and flamingly hateful commentary on two hours of ass kicking clip after ass kicking clip.The first chapter deals with sex farces, and features every possible glorious flavor of non stop 70's giclee. I thought they would play coy and tasteful with the skin. They did not.The next chapters cover horror and action...culminating with MAD MAX. The stunt-work and car crashes alone are worth the price of admission...people dying on set, nearly drowning on set, setting themselves on fire on set, etc...etc...all without an iota of responsible or remotely sober adult supervision. The movie also feature a number of well known American actors...some slumming it in Australia, some tricked by their agents, some too drunk to know where the fuck they are or what the fuck they're doing.Highly recommended. -
Just had my first little directing gig fall through and I'm pretty snarky. You've been warned.

Is NQH the one where the Saw guys reveal that they basically ripped off that tidbit at the end of Max to create their whole movie? -

NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD...is that fairly new? Sounds balls to the wall fun.

Oh it had nothing to do with that. Time was super tight and I had to do boards no matter who we went with so I basically wrote and edited through the boards to get a jump on things and control the animation and then was going to do it with whatever house could meet the budget and produce on time. And after saying they could, they couldn't. Grrr.

The Director's cut is just infinitely better than the theatrical. Bloom has an arc for starters, and Green doesn't go batshit crazy for no reason...
Oh and that Star Wars story - have you read about how Lucas was looking into CG for EMPIRE?! There were tests done with some X-Wings and stuff with great (for the time) texture mapping and everything. Fucking advanced for the 70s, even beyond what we saw in Tron a couple of years later. I think the company was called Triple I. I have it in one of the early Cinefex issues - they had a picture, which sorta blew my mind!
Unfortunately it didn't happen as it would have been really expensive or something and we all know what a penny-pincher old George is when it's his own money! But good God - Lucas arguably dragged filmmaking kicking and screaming into the digital realm from early stuff like editdroid which became Avid and the team that became Pixar (bet he regrets getting rid of them now...) to digital comping and vfx. Can you imagine how the world of filmmaking would have changed if he'd started doing all that in the late 70s? Boggles my mind all right...
Don't sweat it about the pics dude! I was just funnin'. Yeah, it's the original Fett helmet. Jeebus that was a cool day. And I went just before they closed it down for the prequels. You gotta be invited anyway, but when they were ramping up for the new films they closed the archive building off to everyone. And they were photographing everything, so a lot of it was all just laid out. Super cool. I saw Lumpy! -

De-ageified Dude looked bloody amazing. Dunno if it was old footage tracked on and painstakingly comped/graded into the plate, or if they Ben Buttoned him. Anyway, looked good on first view. And the Evangelion chicks were pretty hot too.
That kid sounds like Dennis Leary or something. Did he get dubbed with his dad's voice or something? Weird! -
Not only is the director of PANTHER and POSSE directing tonight's episode, but future Mrs. Fatheart's work friend and her husband are coming over to watch. Possible new friends! A rarity at this stage, I find.
-
When I was interning at Ridley's office. Looked at all his original storyboards too (I don't recall if I made copies of them or not... I wish I did). And when I saw the finished product at home- the theatrical cut- I was just shocked, shocked at how much was missing. I had to tell everyone I knew about all the missing elements, relationships, and arcs. I'm very glad the director's cut was released. Its great.

Wasn't Aronofsky supposed to direct a Lost episode once?
by colonelfatheart
That would have been cool.
-
Snicker. Really, though, that's pretty cool! Good story about Lucas and CGI too. I don't think I've ever heard that one. I don't remember if there were pics of the CGI tests in my book or not. Honestly, right now, only a few images stand out in my mind: TRON, Laser Tag, some CGI Cartoon featuring long-necked birds that looked like muppets, whose necks and legs were made of a chain of spheres, C-3PO, and a fake man robot who had 3PO wires in his belly. Which made me think at the time that they made 3PO by making a robot man and putting 3PO armor over him. I didn't understand the image at all.
-
Dunno what I think about new Max - I wish it could be Mel. Even if he is a nut these days that makes him even more perfect for the new Max. Unfortunately (for me) nearly all the pre-pro was done years ago, before Happy Feet. They were already making vehicles in Africa when 911 or Iraq or something happened (can't remember now)/flared up and it all shifted to Happy Feet. Funny thing is now it seems like the reverse!

Big Pussy is referred to as Pudenda Grande. It's true!

Right on, jack. My biggest problem with TRON is basically its a hissy fit between Steve Jobs (Bridges) and Bill Gates (Dillinger) and Boxleitner is Steve Wozniak. It's about prospective billionaires fighting over who invented some revolutionary software. That's it.

Hey, just found that article. Cinefex #6, and the photo's on page 27. It's the Dragonslayer/Raiders issue. To out-do the newsreaders and bring it full-cicle with a segue, the article mentions that the upcoming Tron will have an "adult-oriented" story! Haw! -

Maybe if Cindy Morgan took off her body glove it would have been adult-oriented. But thankfully we have CADDYSHACK to memorialize her exquisite body.

...speaking of Surrealism and friends of our better half...
by flickapoo
...my DW and I had dinner several times with one of her gay coworkers and his significant other.He inherited his house from his mother...it was a farmhouse way out in Pennsylvania corn country, in the middle of a field SIGNS style...and they had torn down a bunch of walls and redone the living room in modern/ancient Egyptian style, complete with oversize trapezoidal doorway...like a Vegas version of the Egyptian room at the Met.
-
I hate that tacky shit- a farm house is a farm house. Leave it be- or restore it to its original look and feel. I'm all for expanding floorplans and improving the flow of a house, but shit like scuffing new leather chairs to make them look worn really pisses me off.
-
So Gates isn't the evil MCP? Huh!
-
Hence the Dillinger connection. He stole better ideas from smarter people and executed them poorly. But even so, I really don't care about Flynn's issues either. Flynn was kind of a whiny bitch- "Oh, I had to leave the company and open up an arcade." Dude, you live above an arcade and get all the free trim one could imagine. And all of your shirts have your name on them! Boo-fucking-hoo.
-
I think I first saw it on VHS when I was three, maybe younger, and lots of times since. I didn't even understand that it was supposed to be a video game. It was contrastingly colorful, and that's what held my interest.
I've seen it in recent years, too. It's damn good entertainment. -
I went to the Post-production Wrap Party for "I, Robot" over at Digital Domain. Saw Alan Tudyk there, who made a toast in the middle of the crowd thanking everyone for their work. And I saw Alex Proyas too (I don't recall if he said anything about the movie or not) while I was walking through the crowd. But I didn't have the guts to talk to him, mainly bc while I liked The Crow and Dark City, I didn't feel like I'd seen them enough to tell him I was a huge fan.
-

-
...and yes, I agree. Our house is a little stone job from the 1830s...I'm sloooly restoring it as close to original as possible...within reason.I've gone so far as to whittle matching wood mouldings with a pocketknife.

I think I flipped through all of them for Kingdom of Heaven, and most of Gladiator, what I could find of it. I was supposed to find new supplemental material for the new DVD release they were planning (the second one). I can't recall seeing any boards for Blade Runner or Alien though. But I did come across the shooting script for Alien with onset polaroids taped to the pages. Saw polaroid pics of Signourney Weaver and Tom Skerrit. Which was weird. Werid to see pple like that in casual photos you're holding in your hand. But yeah, Ridley's work is amazing.

i have a love/hate relationship with this film...granted it is very entertaining and basically gave the green light for robin williams to do that thing he does (and hes being doing it ever since)but when my son was younger i remember having to watch this over and over and over and over til he fell asleep..cause thats what he did at mommys house..luckily i wised up and cut that shite out and now he sleeps at my house with a good book read.animation great, plot pretty good, and i quite enjoy the songs points off for starting that ominous and annoying DTV inferior sequel disney afternoon shit, though the aladdin sequels are prolly the best of them..
-
God, I love that cover pic of Issue #1 with the movie Enterprise bursting out of a Douglas Trumbull warp field. Fucking perfection.
-
Yeah, worked for him for a few years, including on I, Robot (so much for my secret identity). He's a character. The Tudyk thing was funny, because the choreographer (the guy/star from Strictly Ballroom) basically made all the robots gay. If you've ever heard the legendary animator Richard Williams talk, you'll know about how straight men sorta bounce along a bit because of the pelvis/tools and women basically maintain a level head line because their hips/pelvis do the rolling. But with flamboyantly (bringing up old PB wounds here) gay guys, they also do the level-head thing. The robots had that 'glide' as well. I guess the intention was that they were elegant and economical in their movement. But to me they came off as a bunch of old queens. Check it out! As for the wrap, heh. They made the excuse that they "couldn't afford" to bring me to Canada/The States. A joke, considering I was on half what the big guys were on. Producers eh? Can't just be straight with you...
Oh and earlier scripts were better... -

There were some cool villains that one. The magician Mozanrath and his flying eel Xerxes (the first time I had heard of the name), Mechanicles, the great Greek inventor of robots and stuff. Man, what a cool show.

Voice by Ron Perlman. He was a pretty awesome villain too. And then there was the giant, flying, feathered Snake-Rain-God thing from South America too. It was a creative show I loved to watch coming home from school.
-
You ever see The Thief and The Cobbler (Also known as Princess and the Cobbler)? The animator I just mentioned to D Vader worked on it for literally DECADES, and it was an open secret/urban legend in the animation community. Loooootta Aladdin there. Unfortunately there was a whole thing with Williams after he did Roger Rabbit where Spielberg was gonna let him finally finish it, but he still had a quarter hour or so left when the deadline came so it was taken away and done on the cheap in Ireland and because Aladdin had come out they put a couple of extra Aladdin-ish songs in there and as I recall I think they even used the same vocalist. So basically they rushed it out to capitalise on Aladdin's success, oh irony of ironies. Aladdin wasn't as shameless a ripoff as The Lion King was of Kimba though. jesus -Kimba/Simba. They barely even bothered to change the name!!
Anyway, Thief/Princess was a labour of love and all Williams' profit from other projects went into it and he used most of the Nine Old Men from Disney at various times as well as Warner legend Ken Harris - so it was basically Williams using the project to glean as much classic animation knowledge as possible from the old masters before they toddled off.
And the third act has a (literally) monstrous war machine which will blow your mind when you consider it was done WITHOUT computers - insane to even contemplate, considering it's all mechanics and structures. And all in Cinemascope! And generally "on ones", which is just insane. -
I've only seen parts of it though, sadly.

Brooklyn's Finest: review (no going bac)When Ethan “Handsome” Ha
by macready452
-
When Ethan “Handsome” Hawke and Antoine Fuqua last worked together it was called Training Day. Brooklyn’s Finest alternate title could be called Veterans Day. Fuqua switches coasts and Hawke switches gears to put together a multi-arc story that follows the choices of three cops in varied stages of their careers.
The opening sequence focuses on the idea of “righter and wronger”. There is no black and white in this movie. It stays in a gray area dealing with needs, wants, the means and the ends.Cheadle, Hawke, and Gere all put in fair performances with Hawke chewing the scenery a little more than everyone else. The stand out cast member for me was Brian F. O’Byrne who puts more than everyone else into his performance with a fraction of the screen time. I loved him in The International and I am waiting for him to get a real chance to shine. On the other end of things is Richard Gere, not that he was terrible but he just didn’t do anything for me here. He never does. Someone please tell me the stand out Richard Gere performance because I have never seen it. The “return” of Wesley Snipes is also nothing to get excited about. It was good to see him in the movie but I was left wanting a juicier part.
For me it boiled down to the writing. Brooklyn provides a great backdrop and Fuqua moves through every dive, alley and ghetto taking you on a tour of a place you never want to go. The difference is Michael C. Martins script doesn’t have the pop and style that David Ayer gave to Training Day.
This film gets the STLost stamp of approval. 3/5

i took most of it as a joke but then moose got real dark. I like that though cause it went a different direction and and would allow for more comedy too. moose decides to cut off a detective's cock and put it on a demon and then someone else could use that as a joke somewhere else. it is rather funny in and of itself but....LET THE IDEAS FLOW!

Flicka, it was just weird. This one dude just shows up amidst the outrage over the end of the movie and just starts trying to convert everyone. He took on all comers and his only shortcoming seemed to be that he was a tad condescending in his tone. He was very patient, never screamed at anyone. He seemed like he truly wanted to save some souls on here today. Truly one of the strangest things I've seen here.

"Last night I couldn't pass up the chance to expose my daughter to the Beatles music library...She is reading a book on music theory and how music affects the brain and she was asking me about the beatles because the book used thier music as examples of a lot to it's points...So we spent several hours listening to "Day in the Life" which she LOVED and others, many of which she told me, "I thought that was just a car commercial" We then cursed the dead body of Michael Jackson for whoreing out some of the best music in the last century for jingles..."I think it was time well spent..."

The world belonged to the beasts. They brought civilization down to
its knees and nearly cut its throat. The theatricality of it all was
their way, for they were films, but in a magical, tangible form. They
were behemoths of evil, but they lacked uniformity. Each beast
physically and mentally represented a different movie. The number of
beasts started small, but grew to include representations for nearly
every movie ever made.
Gary Oldman and The Man on the Can and their army of film beasts laid
waste to the city where this all started, and extended their conquest
to America and beyond. Thousands of beasts in each city around the
globe patrolled for people to capture or kill. The many leaders of the
world were forced to watch the particularly ugly beasts until they
died from
A 600 foot monumental statue was erected in nonO's honor in Washington
D.C., where the Washington Monument once stood. Oldman had cast a
spell on it to emulate nonO's fear-striking face when it was finished.
Rebellions had come and gone, none powerful enough to stop Oldman.
Nothing stood in his way, until a young woman named Mary Catherine
made her move. -

Although I'm so glad I watched the subbed Japanese language version first. It's much better. There are some fantastic actors doing the English voices, but it seems that Matheson's script changes are for the worse. Won't give it away because you haven't seen it yet and obviously if you watch it with your little one you'll be doing the dub, but suffice to say uptight Americans (as opposed to uptight Japanese I mean) who think they need to erase any possibility of misinterpretation of some sort of advocation of bestiality - should be fucking slapped. If kids don't understand the possibility of that shit in the first place, why protect them from it when it won't affect them anyway and wasn't even the fucking intention in the first place? God I hate that. I don't know if it's Matheson or Kennedy who's to blame, but someone sure needs to be slapped all right. It's about the little mermaid you fuckwits.
But the film is fucking beautiful and non-saccharine in all the ways Disney cannot seem to be any more. The observation of kids' personalities is almost as sublime as Totoro. Nothing beats Totoro of course, but Ponyo is still the bee's knees.
Oh, and Flick - if you're gonna be confused with de Séve, there are a lot worse artists it could have been! None of which puts money in YOUR pocket, but you know wot ah mean! -

being refreshingly looser/closer to Miyazaki's initial watercolours and boards. That's a subjective thing, of course. And I'm more a "half full" guy where that's concerned - the underwater stuff being so staggering (if you know 2d animation, the work involved boggles the mind). Rather than the other stuff being boring, if that makes sense.
When it comes to say, Saving Private Ryan,I take the half-empty view, that the opening was the only great, non-hackneyed thing about it. How's that for an analogy you never saw coming?! -

I adore Miyazaki's water-color landscapes. Far from "flat," I find them very rich. I'm mainly faulting PONYO's flat character design.The movie suffers from comparison to any other Ghibli film, certainly, as it suffers in comparison to the best Disney. Just my humble own. Little kids will absolutely adore it, though, I agree, and the underwater stuff is marvelous.Completely agree on PRIVATE RYAN, too. That film infuriates me.
-
...I sorta divide faults into active and passive...active being by far the most offensive.Something like a clumsy final act usually falls into the Passive Fault category...it doesn't bother me so much, and I focus on the positive.Something like the forced sidekick/Rosie O'Donnell shtick in TARZAN, or irritating Gimli and transvestite Elves in LOTR falls under Active Faults...Active Faults drive me so crazy they risk swamping the entire movie.

I've been writing a whimsical blog about the TV show 24 for the past 4 years- it started out as a joke, built up a regular following and now I've become attached to the outlet. Yesterday, it was announced that the show is being canceled after this season. Like I said, I have 4 years worth of time put into this blog and I want to keep it going but I'm going to need to write about something other than that show. Any suggestions?

You are now free to move about the cabin, bud. You can write about the un-televised, secret adventures of Jack Bauer forever. Or, you could just try to explain "Lost."Just, whatever you do, don't take up "Smallville," OK?

...and naked Xena. After our hero recovers from the big C of course...but I'm sure he'll flex that shit right out.
-
But I am also freely aware that it's a terrible show. No, I'd never write about that show.
I look at how I wrote 4 years ago versus today and I have seen a huge improvement over that period. So, I'm definitely going to keep it going. I write about movies at my site already, but the main focus is the show, in which I usually do satirical bits. Hmmm... so, I definitely want to keep it humor-related and creative. But also accessible to the casual wanderer from the internet. I'm working this stuff out aloud, forgive me if I'm boring anyone. -

When Music By Prudence director Roger Ross Williams was interrupted during his acceptance speech for Best Documentary Short during Sunday’s Oscars, viewers were aghast. Who was the woman who cut him off? Why was she up there? Did Kanye West have something to do with this?
Turns out the woman who rushed the stage was Music By Prudence producer Elinor Burkett, whose name had also been called for the award. She tells EW that the confusion began because Williams had refused to discuss beforehand which one of them should speak on stage if they won. (The two aren’t on speaking terms due to a creative conflict over the film.) She also claims she only stepped in because he was neglecting to thank the film’s main subjects, the Zimbabwean band Liyana. And she had a few things to say about being compared to a certain mic-grabbing rapper:
“It’s ridiculous. I won an Oscar. Kanye West injected himself onto the stage where he didn’t belong. I don’t know why everyone is acting like I didn’t have the right to be there. My name was called, and I went up because because I won an Oscar. And that’s the only thing I kind of resent, is people acting like I didn’t get an Oscar. It’s really demeaning and denigrating to somebody who did all the work. The Producer’s Guild certified me as the producer. HBO certified me as the producer. There’s this assumption that [Roger] had more of a right to speak than I did. His Oscar is not bigger than my Oscar.“
[Note: A rep for Williams declined set up an interview with EW, although the director did share his side of the story on last night's Larry King Live.]
she stepped in cause he wasnt thanking the films subjects???thats the story yer going with?--YOU DIDNT LET HIM -
...and never roused yourself to stream the show?......sometimes I don't even know who you ARE anymore!
-
I'm not one of those stalkers that posts pics of Kiefer sneaking cigarette breaks on the set. Those sites are fucking scary. You should see how these people are acting today on Twitter. They're lashing out at FOX and begging them to change their minds at the same time. Some real psycho shit.
I've got a pretty good brand thing going with my site so far, so I think there's potential to develop it beyond 24. I will give this some thought and when I get some solid ideas together, I want to run them by the family for your input. -

I basically applied absurdity to the whole show because it takes itself so seriously. It was ripe for lampooning.

But I will never ever do another blog about a TV series again- fuck me, it's a pain in the ass. And I'm not even that big of a TV watcher!

was the secret backdoor to the White House last season. And that female president, who's a worse president than Logan. She's willing to sacrifice hundreds if not thousands of American civilian lives to save lives in another country. B.S.

Such melodrama. Such tacky writing. I became indifferent to the show, but I have this blog I invested time into which I wasn't going to abandon. And now... no show means I am free to do whatever I like.

I hope we find out. That Michael/Walt stuff needs to be resolved.

I loved Miles not even hesitating to sell Ben out and then using his same line against him. I want more Miles in the show. His and Hurley's humor are key to keeping the show afloat, imo.

Seem from outside, stories like Corey Haim and Lindsey Lohan sound like the stories of incredibly stupid idiots who had the world in their palm and fucked it all up because of something so stupid as drugs. Worst, they live in a place, Holywood, which is filled to the grills of cautionary tails of people who fucked up their careers and lives for the sake of drugs and losing touch with realty. One would wonder that, 90 years after holywood was founded, that by now somebody would finally learn the lesson. That stories like this keep on perpectuating can only be a testement to what kind of pressures and temptations, and wost, how many hangers on and leaches who live and feed from the stars and push and pull them into this type of problems that keep causing this type of fail. And the worst insult is that this people who actually got into limelight, who actually got a break, and fucked i up, when for each of those who experience some sucess, there's literally thousand who are struggling for litter rewards. It's so unjust.
-
I admit, though, Stabby, I'm really enjoyed the hell out of Jack's "conversion" last night. That's a man you follow into the pit of hell. And I can't get enough of Terry O'Quinn's "Anti-Locke" work.
-
Even a lot of the haters on the LOST tb are saying it was a very good episode. Not sure what you're reading, Sixes.
-
I was really hoping to wait it out one more season and then attack Lost in it's entirety, but everyone getting all excited about the last season was making me scared so I started in, also because Amazon had like 29 bucks per season for many of the seasons. So I'm on 2 now, with a long way ta go. I don't think I'll be able to come near the net in a few weeks' time!
I've got the whole BSG saga too, but I'm working on converting the wife so we can watch it all together. Hard going, but I'll get there. I love watching TV on DVD and gorging on shows, especially when they have season-long arcs these days. Haven't watched any Wire yet, there's another to saviour...
Stabs, Avatar post comin' up! -
Remember that Tom Friendly told Michael that he'll try to kill himself but that the Island won't let him. Tom has never met Jacob. Not a single Other had met Jacob. The Island won't let someone who is needed die until their time is up. But, Michael's last name WAS on the Wheel List, as was tom Friendly's. So its entirely possible that Jacob touched all of them in their lives, maybe when they were kids, maybe as an adult. It doesn't matter. I don't think its an important mystery to ponder when Jacob touched Michael.
-
It's like a great novel you can return to time and time again, opening it to any part you fancy. What a great show. The greatest, in my opinion.
-
Another thing I loved about last night's ep was how roles reversed and Sideways Locke played the serpent to Ben's Eve.
-
but I kind of read the dynamite scene like an answer to the mystery of why Michael couldn't kill himself. Still don't know why Jacob can keep others from dying, but not himself, but I guess we'll find out.
-
I hope they re-release the other films on Blu-ray and not just DVD.
I thought Ponyo was fantastic, through and through. All of this flat characters and clumsy thrid act stuff is lost on me. I didn't see it in the Japanese or English dub. -

I was just commenting on the fact that we were catching upwith them, meaning not a lot of people were commenting there..I for one have yet to see a bad ep

I do all that stuff. Boards, Concept illustration, Art direction, character design, set dec/props. For both live action and Animation. Different kinds of FX work too. Whatever pays the bills, baby. D. Vader knows the fanboy hated flick of which I speak. A beloved character whose recent outing raised nerds' tempers - I gave clues earlier. I just don't name it in most TBs when I'm making points about films because TBers will just write me off like I must have been fine with it and they'll never listen to my P.O.V. again. They're fickle like that. Which reminds me of the whole anti "cg is shit" post I wrote that I might post anyway - we're all good enough friends that I might post it after all - after Stabby's answer anyway. Also there's the whole thing of being tracked down and "never working in this town again". That's why I won't spill about most stuff unless it doesn't have anything to do with current/secret info which would risk future employment. I don't really wanna change my handle either.

Yeah I don't think last night gave the haters much reason to come on and bitch bitch bitch like they do every week.

You sound like you have a fantastic job. I've always wanted to be in the movie business as a kid, making movies with the parent's video camera with friends. We had a good time. Never had the artistic chops for drawing so never went into anything art related. -

O.K. Stabs, here we go... the puzzling cinematography thing:
by white_vader
, and progression in general:
Have you seen the rig they came up with? HOW they shot the stuff? Sorry that's not meant to sound condescending - we got no stupid italics in here! Anyway, it wasn't "Done by computers" (hope it wasn't you that said that!) it was 'filmed' by real people and translated into the system. Cameron actually operated a lot. And the DOP's name is Mauro Fiore. The shots were driven and decisions made by filmmakers, not computers or even pre-vis guys from a tech background with no idea of cinematic syntax and pacing. The rig started out simulating a camera down to an eyepiece, but evolved into something where it was basically taking the LCD screen from the camera and making THAT the whole camera and interface, like you're holding a window that combined the virtual cg stuff overlaid on the live stuff in front of you, all synced together. With familiar camera controls for tilting and panning, lenses and so on. Here's my long-winded rationale:
It actually gave MORE control to the camera operator than even in live-action; they could 'scale' their moves and in effect even become a handheld crane, steadicam or dolly. Also, with the rig combining real-world info from the performers and virtual set imagery in a sort of augmented reality combination (like your iPhone apps), the operator or cinematographer can frame just the same as they would traditionally, even though the virtual set is lower rez and complexity than the final. Same goes for lighting decisions, although the majority of that would be implemented later - decisions that were still based on the environment and action from the set. And you can change the length of your lens too. It used to be that the DOP would have to make a best guess based on the director and the boards & concepts and frame for the dead space, but this makes it more like a regular live-action shoot. Actually Avatar didn't invent the concept. Spielberg had a much, much simpler version on A.I. Where the virtual set was rendered on the fly (for Rouge city or whatever it was called) using the Unreal game engine!
And I don't think the 'art' of cinematography is dependant on whether it's film or digital. And if it's digital then what's the difference between real world imagery and rendered? The art comes from the cinematographer's eye, using composition and light, visual elements to tell the story. Nothing to do intrinsically with any one technology, that's just the tool they use to realise the images. And it's disingenuous to say chemical technology is O.K. but digital tech isn't. It's all tech. Is a photo NOT a photo any more if I take it with a digital camera instead of a film one? Most people can't tell whether my work is traditional or digital. Does it make a difference where I draw/paint or what with? Nope. I matters WHAT I draw/paint and how well I do it! So what if they're filming performers with digital instead of live-action prosthetic makeup? It's the end result that counts.
For me the BIGGEST leap and contribution to the art of cinematography using these processes is that now if the artist is conscious enough, for the first time it can be seamless in terms of cinematic language. This hasn't happened before and WAS evident in Avatar, and did enhance the story. Now before you think I'm a cheerleader, let me say this - I reckon the people who loved the flick were right, but so were the haters, for different reasons. In terms of storytelling, sure the only 2d things in the movie were the characters. I don't see using a basic story template as a fault though, as it was a conscious decision to make a hook upon which to explore the possibilities. Lawrence of Arabia and Last Samurai did the same thing, but it's what you do within that (Lawrence being great and Last Samurai being a jingoistic piece of Americana ftw propaganda IMHO). And when it comes to the whole Gaia thing, it tells it well. Nobody misunderstood the literal and figurative message about the interconnectiveness. Well, maybe on the level of the Avatars themselves and the human interconnectiveness/lack of connection it wasn't quite as strong as the larger Gaia thing, but you get my drift. Little details like holding a knife to the braid rather than the throat and all were well considered and subservient to character. So yes, the visuals did tell the story.
So the seamless thing? People whinge and moan about digital getting in the way and all this stuff of digital stunt doubles and too much freedom in an unrestrained virtual camera. But you know what? The old-fashion stunts that we love so much? The old fashioned animatronics we love? Everyone gives them a free pass when in fact they frequently stuffed up the storytelling, tone and flow of the movie every bit as much as digital supposedly does, and nowhere is it more apparent than cinematography.
All of a sudden, whether the flow of the shots had been languid, tracking shots creating a dreamlike lull, or nervous closeups tightly framing actors' faces, it all goes out the window when we get to say, the action/stunt sequence, or the "effects" shot, where the shots are actually now dictated by the technique, which is the tail wagging the dog. In the stunt sequence, all of a sudden the cinematic language changes completely. Everything predicated on hiding the stunties' face. All of a sudden we're over that side of the coach or car, for some reason we're always behind our hero and have lost ALL the acting because we can't see through the back of his head, or he always has his hat on, or gains an instant habit of hiding his face, unless it's in a shot so tight you know full well he's not really doing that shit. Or it's really obvious that he's on a mat with a specially built hollow in the road under the truck which seems to slow down by 30mph between long shots where you can't see him at all and closer ones when you (sorta) can. Get me? Suddenly that tiny woman has a footballer's build, or that kid grew 2 feet between cuts, and bang, we're out of the story (even in a small or subconscious way), thinking cool, action scene! Rather than not noticing the change of my God, the stakes just got high for our hero until we look at the expression on his face which reveals now he's in the shit. Which would and SHOULD be the natural unencumbered storytelling/character-based way.
Now we go to the alien who has the whole planet to show us. But wait, while his elongated features and (juddering) arms (from the pneumatics) help him emote, he seems partially paralysed and unable to move. Even though he's supposed to be our 10 foot tall (or 4 foot tall) guide leading us through his world. Oh, O.K., now we're moving, but why did he get all 5 foot 6 on us and stocky/puffy all of a sudden? And - oop, now we've stopped because he needs to talk to us again. Maybe he has asthma? He seems to mumble/doesn't enunciate when he talks, but those consonants come out great. Those crazy aliens! See what I mean?
Or we've had tension with the crew as they find themselves under attack in short, still shots. But out in space, apparently everything's fine and we're in some sort of ballet. Then the mood changes when we're back inside again.
- And so on. All of which gets in the way of telling a story without compromise. What used to happen was that screenwriters would say they couldn't realise that or there was no way we can afford to do it so the thing would get written out, and that leads to writing it out before you even write it in, and the whole thing gets more reductive. Also it becomes a crutch. Now the crutch has been taken away to a degree. Which doesn't mean the onus is on the effects people. It means the onus is back on writers to NOT automatically hobble their creativity. One other thing is that there's a time-lag of about a decade (IMO) where new types of shots become part of the lexicon. Moving cameras/shots. handheld, helicopter, speed ramping, unbroken shots that go on forever (with digital hiding of breaks). It takes the audience a while to get used to these things. I get the whole thing of discipline from traditional limitations and that digital can make it too easy and tend to agree a bit. But I also argue that what you lose there is trumped by the possibilities it opens up. The discipline or limitation should come from the person, not their tool. Generally for myself, I'm a fan of mixing it all up. Best of the old AND the new.
Finally, I'm sure by now you can see why [deleted] is a big step for cinematography - still shot by hand, and no bumpy bits to spoil the cinematic logic on the way through. No hiding of faces/sudden rear or long shots (we only think these make sense because we've grown up with them and therefore forgive that that's "the way it is"), uneven pacing due to stop and start shots, and so on. And the director and DOP's cinematic logic will have a consistency and harmonious internal logic to them. We are now at a point where the cinematography can relay the intention of the artist in a more natural, unencumbered way than before. So creatively, big news as far as I can see. And it's ALL technology in the end. You know colour sent things backward because of lighting requirements? Camera moves were drastically reduced when sound came in - they had to be tied down & put in a noise-proof box because cameras where still too noisy! It was pushed by producers when it still was a novelty and that novelty meant cinematic language and the art of visual exposition was set back by years. The oxymoron of this being very much what cinematography is all about is balanced by it seeming to change so much that people think the old label shouldn't apply.
I'm sure by now everyone's all like, "but my brain can deal with suspended disbelief! I had no problem with the drawbacks of the old stuff!". Absolutely fine, but what's good for the goose... You then have to also say, "while I didn't mind X being glued to the ground and his mouth only being able to say ma ma ma, I likewise can deal with the lack of completely convincing mass and gravity when the cg character moves. After all that's only fair considering x couldn't move AT ALL without morphing into a little person with completely different body language". If you prefer the old stuff, great! Most of us like one thing better than another. But by the same token, don't be disingenuous - judge them by the same criteria when possible.
So anyway Hope that makes sense. It's just my opinion. Oh and Ebert hates digital projection too. Says it doesn't set off the right alpha waves in your brain or something which create the 'dreamlike' state that film does. I actually understand his point but the irony is that he's defending the flickering technical side-effect of a technology against another type of technology! An also, the amount of things people watch these days that are digitally shot and projected without them having any idea would seem to render the argument moot. Just thought I'd put that one in there...
I completely understand the attachment to venerable and proven techniques, but whether it's live-action or animation we SHOULD let the lines blur in the interest of taking us somewhere new, but always in the service of story and imagination. If Avatar sucks it's entirely because the characters and story is not as compelling as everything else. The last movie to change the game and knowck everyone on their moviegoing arse this way was Jurassic Park, which had the SAME problems in it's story, especially with the Deus-ex-machina ending, which flies in the face of even Spielberg's own predilection for building tension through "telegraphing", nowhere more noticeably than with the glass of water. Worse still, while people point to it as "how it should be done" (and I'll go into that another time), it's the first example of a director being so taken with cg novelty that they tread all over themselves and ruin the flow of the movie because of it. The ending changed at the last minute, because he wanted to use cg.
We should build on the knowledge of the old to inform the new with a bedrock of art and considered opinion. Really, why be creative Luddites when all that will get you is myopia and reductive thinking? And if people are concerned about their old jobs, then I guess in the end the concern wasn't really to do with the actual job to start with. I'm not advocating all new, all the time. The tech-heads and the "better in my day" Luddites are exactly as bad as each other. I'm advocating use the proven but don't let the limitations hinder you, and no discipline being as important as serving the end goal. Bruce Lee was a very wise man, and I agree with him wholeheartedly.
Hope I articulated that stuff well enough and that made some sort of sense! I better stop now! -

Another one is the Thunderbird movie. I'm sure all the art dept and fx people signed up straight away (crew generally don't get to read the script even if it's ready until AFTER they start), being all excited to do their best and honour their childhood love of the thing. Only to be heartbroken and given the task of trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Fuck you, Frakes! -

It doesn't make sense. It's cinematic dick-wagging. But damn, it was rousing. I still get chills when that "WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH" banner comes fluttering down. It's a money shot for the masses, sure, but it's also the work of a director who loves creating capital-i Images.
-
I posted instructions in the READ ME FIRST thread.
I'm outta here. See ya. -
what books have you illustrated?
-
the thing was that he abandoned the whole structure of the movie to do it! Spielberg is one of those ostentatious directors in most of his films where things are staged in such a way that the magician draws your attention to both the trick AND makes you aware he's doing it to you. Making the contrivance apparent so we enjoy the theatricality of it all. Camera framing the action perfectly and even being ahead of it rather than catching up to it as in a doco for instance. JP was completely in that vein, UNTIL the end. The Rex has disappeared and even though he's still doing the telegraphing thing with the sound design and even the raptors, the rex is gone. UNTIL!
I do like the IDEA of the rex coming back and proving itself king of the dinosaurs, but the way it was done was completely botched and beneath such a great director. So obviously a last second thing where the story wasn't refined before the mouse-jockeys got to work. It would have been awesome if the Rex had been heard or it's presence intimated so that our heroes feel cornered on one side by the possibility of it snapping them up, and then also by the raptor threat. Then the irony of the rex actually saving them by eating - the raptors instead. Using the elements to ratchet the up the danger AND release. As it is, we just get the convenient chomp down into frame as the raptor attacks and "Oh boy, so lucky that stealth-rex was here and we escaped!". Bah. That's my view on it anyway. -
Whateverz. Don't run yourself down!

I know it's just a movie, so while the ending makes a hypocrite out of a great (in the sense of "one of the all-time greats") director, other stuff doesn't bother me. Like the magical appearing/disappearing gorge/t-rex paddock. Who cares, because those scenes are fucking awesome.
-
...and books have always been my first love...but this is a movie site, and film is the currency of the kingdom...that's all.
-
I don't think Spielberg sacrificed or changed any story at all. What he sacrificed was, as you said before, the way he had set the Rex up as being able to hear its approach. I don't think its obvious that the ending was changed simply bc this fact was ignored at the end when the Rex appears. If anything, I think its a case of one of those moments where the telegraphed approach is sacrificed for a more magical and more cinematic ending. Cinema isn't supposed to be reality, and only the cinema can get away with that (in reality we *would* hear the Rex show up). So in that vein, bc of the enormity of the surprise that the power of film can give us, I prefer Spiels' ending to your idea that we all realistically see and hear the Rex show up and then have a quick, tense mini-debate about who its going to eat- us or them. That's my view on it anyway =).
-
...I'm thinking I might at the shelter, either images, or a title or two...
-
Stupid concept. Stupid story. Usual competence from Spielberg, and even, an impressive bit, here and there. But dumb. Empty. Void of real meaning and / or wonder. Ridiculous money-shot ending.Don't care if I'm the only one who thinks so, either.
-
Sorry, I didn't make it clear before - by "if the Rex had been heard or it's presence intimated" I meant we did NOT see it, just that the implication/setup was there so our heroes feel there's no escape once the raptors show up in the flesh. Then we're pre-occupied with that so we CAN forget the rex AND have the cinematic contrivance of no warning when the rex snaps the raptor up and we as the audience get the satisfying payoff of "that's right, I forgot about the rex!". See? It plays out exactly the same, but the setup is used to build the ending. using the "magical" approach without contadicting what's been established. It still cheats, but we don't begrudge it (or at least I wouldn't). I wasn't talking about realism at all. And consistent with not just the water and so on being a setup just for the rex but the way Spielberg has set up EVERYTHING throughout the film (including the Raptors).
The water is still second to his most famous device though - the musical cue for Bruce.
And hey, I love that we can agree to disagree without becoming typical pissy Tbers. -

Don't care about that, either. Many talented people can and, maybe, will spend the rest of their lives involved with 3 dimensions. That's a given. Since I don't know anything about behind-the-screen film-making, I can't speak to those issues. (This post isn't about that. Lettuce say, vanilla has got that part covered.) I can only speak to the effect 3D has upon me, as part of its intended audience.Yack's girl has my back.I've spent my life interacting with two dimensional planes. My brain chemicals and my imagination have been filling in the blanks, all that time, and it's part of being actively engaged. It's part of the activity for me, as crucial as light. Take that away from me, and I cease to have much reason to be engaged. Add to it the subject matter, fantasy, and I have little reason to be really interested. I like fantasy, don't get me wrong, if I like it. And, it seems pointless to me the rest of the time. You know? probably not, but that's OK - you're not me.The effort and technical expertise it takes to pull it off is something altogether else. They don't have to justify it to me any more than I have to justify my disinterest.But, when the bombs start ratcheting up, and the backlash begins, in force, I'm not going to be surprised. 3D might be driven by artists but it isn't by artistic necessity. It's driven, at this moment in time, by ego and commerce. Two things that should never take the lead, in my humble own, in the progress of art.
-
I actually am not a Luddite and do appreciate digital technology in films. In fact, it is the main thing that I liked about Avatar. I also think that the next Indiana Jones movie should be an all cgi mo-cap movie about a younger Indy as opposed to the abortion that was Crystal Skull. And I was one of those who lambasted that film for it's cgi prairie dogs and vine swinging monkeys. There is no doubt in my mind that Avatar deserved the Special Effects Oscar, but I am still dubious about Best Cinematography. Everything you describe is true, but I feel that this new tech actually lessens the DP's individual artistic choices and gives the Director almost complete control over what the camera captures. Really it could make cinematography as an art form obsolete and reduce the DP to just a camera man capturing exactly what the Director envisions. As long as there is a camera involved it is still cinematography, but unless the DP is making artistic decisions then the award should go to the Director.

I don't. All my posts come with an attached and implied "in my opinion" repeated between the sentences.If science could recreate dinosaurs, would they create them for a theme park? You say, sure, why not? I say, don't care, dumb idea.That they'd create them at all is the only thing that matters. They could create them on an island for scientific study, alone, and have the necessary germ for the concept and the story. The swipe at Disneyland with megalomaniacal billionaire is the dumb part.Again, it's just mine, but I have a right to it.

Here's a grownup, with all this money and power and ability to do whatever he wants, but he's a big kid at heart and wants to play with dinosaurs. I can totally buy the theme park angle, and I can buy that Spielberg's treatment of Hammond (a lot more sympathetically than the novel) is his making peace with himself before moving on to more adult fare, for real this time. It's no coincidence his next project was SCHINDLER'S LIST.

I was in 8th grade when the movie came out, and I've since become a huge Sam Neill fan, so I prolly view JP thru rose-tinted glasses. I just find it amusing that out of all the contrivances of the film, it's the theme park angle that agitates you the most.

I don't think we disagree that much. I'm certainly not against digital cameras. The Red One shoots beautiful images. But I do think that there needs to be a camera involved for something to be considered cinematography and anything that is purely programmed on a computer does not qualify imo.
-
I'm waiting for the trade on Smith's latest Bat-Opus. I can get a discount that way, so I (hopefully) won't feel as ripped off. I DO see that the new 'Secret Six' is out today, which certainly warrants a trip to the LCS. Did I mention that it's the only DC title I'll deign to purchase these days?

GAWD®, I hated the 80s so much. I tried to stay as drunk as I could.

You've even encouraged me to buy it and linked some of the panels here.The problem with tradepaperbacking the Smith Batman is that it's still only half the story. I'd wait for the complete Deluxe Edition® Hard Cover in 2012. And, even if that doesn't come out, you haven't missed all that much.

I'll agree that Event Horizon is flawed, but without Paul W.S. Anderson, the movie wouldn't have had the pitch-perfect casting that it had. And judging from his work since, it'll probably go down in my book as his best work. Also, having read the novelization of the film, I will say that the studio forced him to reshoot the ending, further weakening the final product. So the blame is not his alone.

Computerography?I'm just real averse, too, with changing the definition of cinematography to include camera-less stuff.On the other hand, isn't The Best Cinematography Oscar one of those "technical" Oscars that only other cinematographers can vote on?

My vote is that computertography is legit cinematography- you're arriving at the same result but through different methods. It's like engraving a work of art versus painting one. Different methods meant to convey a visual. Hmmm... I fear my own analogy is too crude to bear your incisive logic. Okay... how about this- it's like baking a cake upside down as opposed to right side up. No... wait, I got it! It's like a dude wearing makeup and a dress to look like a chick. There ya go. Wait-

They were great for me anyway.
I was walking home last night from the bus stop and the 'Back to the Future Overture', from the BTTF OST, came on my IPod. And suddenly it dawned on me that I've had that album on tape, on cd, and now I have it in digital form, and I find the Overture as affecting and moving as the day I bought the tape. Nearly 25 years ago. Now that's good music. -
To see some fantastic computer-cinematography. Absolutely beautiful stuff. Thank you Roger Deakins.

That's the only way I could pull that off.

dammit, a painting and an engraving are two distinct things, and they should be valued and regarded as such.And I've never seen a dude pretty enough to pass as a chick, but, what the hell, I just moved in, and I'm not going to argue with my landlord, so if that's what we're doing tonight, for fun, I'll get my girly stockings.

And let me reiterate that BTTF is probably one of the most complete screenplays of all-time. It's a brilliant piece of writing. I would argue it's perfect.

filth ... or metalhead.
-
I just want to call it something else. The process of placing a camera in the real world so that it will create an impression on the screen is inherently different than the process of using a computer to do the same thing.
-
There were actual cameras used in the making of Avatar. And Vanilla did a good job of explaining the process. But, the day a purely computer animated film, be it Pixar or Dreamcraps, is nominated for Best Cinematography is the day cinematography dies as an art form. And I'm shocked that the DPs in the Academy who voted for Avatar are willing participants in their own ultimate demise.
-
IN HELL!

i had those films too..but also BTTF.we had more choices but also a greater appreciation of the older stuff..i remember loving CLASH OF THE TITANS as well as KING KONG

BTTF is, to me, a perfect movie. It's pretty much the only movie I can still just watch and enjoy without picking it apart.
And I'll put Silvestri's score up against anything in John Williams' catalog. -
were involved only in getting the angles. All the rest is made-up in a computer. Nobody awarded [deleted] for the way the cameras captured the green screens.I believe there is a big difference, and I'm sticking to it.

-
In my very humble opinion, John Williams' EMPIRE STRIKES BACK score is his most complex, operatic work ever. I can listen to the Battle on Hoth music on a continuous loop and be completely immersed in what I'm hearing. I think Silvestri hit the sweet spot with BTTF, but in terms of composition, he's not quite on the level of what Williams accomplished with his best stuff. In my opinion, of course! I would say, however, that Williams transcended most of his contemporaries with maybe 4 or 5 scores. The rest of his stuff, while excellent, was within other composers' abilities.

Things from the past I enjoyed as a kid: Monty Python, Looney Tunes, Abbott & Costello, Star Trek...Star Wars doesn't count, I think, because it only predates me by two years.

that's kids in the 80s appropriating Devo's 70s image. I think he's got to go with something more exclusively 80s.

Actually PHANTOM MENACE even without DotF is the best overall score of the prequels. And by the time they hit SITH, it was downright painful to see Williams lift entire sections of the Bespin duel and drop it into the final fight between Obi and Anakin/Emperor and Yoda. For fucking shame.

by yackbacker
Computertography is to cinematography as digitally composed music is to that of a traditional orchestra. So, yes- there's an artificial quality to the first types in the analogy mentioned, but they are aiming towards the same end result. As the technology improves further, the lines between the two become less distinct.

Python is about the clever non-sequitur. It IS a sketch comedy experience. Applied to a narrative, it doesn't really have the same buzz, although it has a different one for those who are OK with the variance. That's why you might prefer (as I do) MEANING OF LIFE, as the most Pythonesque Python movie.

-
I was always gonna give you the reach-around. There was no question about it. You don't have to go all-academic on me.Here's the thing as I see it: Sure, music made on synthesizers to sound like an orchestra is still music, but sounds made from samples of synthesized music are just pretend music. So, computerized cinematography is pretend cinematography. Valid as Art? Well, that all depends, donut.
-
Is GREAT running music. I can usually slap that sucker on and plan to run an 8 minute mile. By the time the climax comes, with the chorus and guitars and rest of the orchestra all hitting the high notes, I'm racing to the finish and sharing in that cacophony of victorious sound.

It strongly resembles music Williams did for HOOK, which put a damper on my love for it. As for Battle of the Heroes- great music but nowhere near as iconic as the best stuff Williams did in the OT.
Williams went a little heavy on the choral stuff in the PT. I think there's only one movie where he uses a chorus in the OT- and that's JEDI. He had the monkish, deep voices for the Emperor's Theme and he brings out the big chorus for Luke's final duel with Vader, which... well, it's a fucking brilliant scene, and I get emotional thinking about it. -

With "CONSTANT" instead of "HOPE".
-
It makes me feel joy in my heart. When Peter relearns flying-that's the scene where the music becomes practically orgasmic for me. It just screams FUN and ADVENTURE at me.
-
Tracks like Flight to Neverland and You are the Pan/ The Face of Pan got me pretty pumped. I love it.
-
Title "Prologue". This is the one I was talking about that plays up the strings in the beginning instead of the horns and winds. It also repeats those opening strains after the opening bombast. Buying the HOOK score as a young teenager was one of the best purchases I ever made in my young life. Actually, I think it was one of the first CDs I ever bought.

Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart and I feel it for you
Let 'em say we're crazy, I'll give a path
Put your hands in my hand baby don't ever look back
Let the world around us, just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever

I'm considering doing so. For now I'm just wading in the shallow end. Lost talkbacks have officially (and unfortunately) become anathema for me. Maybe when it rolls around to another topic. I'm all for y'all pedal backing, though. Makes for some very entertaining reads.

I'm not bagging. I want to see it and I think the message is important. But people who care so deeply about things like that could actually use some extra money to help their cause. So I'm thinking SC3 wouldn't be that unlikely (if he's asked to participate).

Subs "You gorgeous bastard! Of course you're pretty."
I haven't been watching LOST (need to catch up on the last six episodes, pls dont anyone spoilerise me) but I have been watching MAD MEN after the aicn TV dude (cant remember what his name is but you know the fella) named it as the TV show of the decade. THE DECADE.
What a crock of shit.
It's well made and well acted - i'll give you that. But the whole raison d'etre of the piece is to debunk the conceit that the Fifties was a golden age. So you have an advertising agency in the 50's filled with the most unlikeable characters, being grossly sexist and racist and generally acting like assholes. You know like in THE WEST WING you had an ensemble of characters - all of whom were cool and likeable in their way. In MAD MEN you have an ensemble of characters, all of whom are cuntish and unlikeable in their way.
Even Christina Hendricks is wasted and unsexy in this set-up. Damn. -
...and nominate CONAN THE BARBARIAN...perfect score, elevated the whole movie.
-
I just thought that a joint Hercules/Lady Deathstrike reference would get a few chuckles.
-
There have been many in the Bay Area over the years. Some years the guests are "spectacular", but the fans are bleh. Some years the fans are so spectacular that the bleh guests become totally interesting and entertaining.
-
and moving out to Austin. Get a job at the American Statesman, take some graduate courses. Oh well. I have to convince the future Mrs. that Austin is, just as you say, the opposite of the rest of Texas.
-
it's set in the 60s, not 50s. Think of it in those terms, and it works perfectly.
*shifts eyes from side to side* -
...can't watch it. Who would want to spend an hour a week with those pickled pudenda?
-
Flicka, the only score I have on my ipod is that classic by Basil Poledouris - love it. If that shit had been released by Wagner the snobs would've called it his masterpiece, but cos it was linked to an Arnie swords and sandals flick it's down to guys like you and I to big it up.
-
Mountains, rivers, valleys, oceans, beaches, big cities, small towns, farming communities; everything within a three hour circular drive. The traffic is a bit out of hand, but it's so different than SoCal where most everything is ugly and brown (sorry SoCal folks, I wish you were a different state).
-
Think I've actually discussed it with Flicka before. It rules. There is no better marriage of score with the actual film it belongs to (imo). I have CTB on the DVR right now and I actually put it on to fall asleep, with no intention of actually watching it. I just like fading into dreamland with those sounds in the room.
-
Is that different than a breakfast burrito? Somebody educate me. In Cali we have breakfast burritos. Never heard of a breakfast taco.
-
I think Austin might have a chance for The bronze medal, behind San Diego and Chicago.But there's the whole Texas stigma to deal with.

...I will have my finished Blue Beetle outfit to wear. It's even going to have prescription goggles so I'll be able to see where I'm going.
PRESCRIPTION GOGGLES! HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT? -
Still haven't watched an episode, still haven't been compelled outside of some very trusted folks telling me to check it out. "Breaking Bad" seems a lot more interesting.
-
What, you mean the legality of openly carrying around lethal weapons? Yeah, well, they just changed those laws in the Bay Area, which is really freakin' me out. Seriously, though, I grew up with a LARGE group of Texans and visited the state many times. It really is quite different than anyplace else I've been in the US. But so is Cali, and so is NYC.

Tortilla, eggs, bacon, beans, potatoes, salsa, basically whatever you want on it. Or there's migas, which is scrambled eggs mixed with soggy tortilla chips. I'd not heard of it before I moved here, but it's damn good.

Oh well, regardless MAD MEN 'feels' very much like a Fifties set-up... perhaps im conditioned to view the 60's with those Woodstock, Beatles, Austin Powers, prescription goggles on.

I've been a fan of Sam Neill's since DEAD CALM as well. He was good in Daybreakers, had a nice little arc. I'm glad I didn't read any spoilers about the film, bc it had a nice plot shift/change that I wasn't expecting.

Why resist The Shelter? it's the Archive for The Best Of Us.

So, is it just folded up open style like a taco? Soft shell? Not rolled up like a burrito? See, I think breakfast burritos win because your stuff can't fall out. But tortilla chips being included are making the decision difficult.

Spike diddled with videos for awhile.I stand by what I said.
-
that's been DESPITE the medium, not on account of it.
-
Fuck, they should be writing songs and poems about us by this point. And we should be getting residuals from Harry, too.
-
There is certainly an argument that videos gave us a twenty year blip of bs in regards to popular music. But I, for one, don't think it was all bad. It did a ton of good for metal and hard rock, for one thing. It helped create alternative. But it clearly did huge amounts of damage as well. Including forgetting that college scene as soon as it possibly could. There are about 1000 bands out there right now that are interesting and talented. From electro to brit pop, soft rock new country to screamp death metal and everything in between. For whatever reasons, radio has become so damaged that they're all getting ignored. I think if there were still some video channels that were brave enough to play new music blocks, instead of whatever corporate sponsored crap they want to spoon feed you, there could be another music (video) revolution. Unfortunately, they aren't. So I start wondering why, right? Then you go and look at all those bands (again, I really like a lot of them) and they're all guys with big ass beards, or make up and skinny jeans, or they have one hot girl in the band, or it's just a duo. Siiigh. I don't know man, I love music a lot. It's "my thing", as it where. But the industry is just fucking broken right now. Don't really know where that rant was heading. lol So who's going to SXSW? A lot of good bands there this year for sure.
-
I'll settle for nothing less than a shout out from Daniel Tosh or Chris Hardwick.
-
...for that residuals comment.
-
...or "these" threads, if you're a regular poster because you see it every time you post something. There it is (whatever thread you guys are inhabiting) floating around the top of the column on the right.
-
But then, I'm the one whose town gets invaded. You know, I've only seen maybe three live performances since I moved here. M.Ward, Ice Cube and maybe someone else. I guess I'm not a live music kinda guy.
-
"Alternative" musicians might've used it as a tool, but, so what, so did Dire Straits. Music video exists only as a commercial tool. Sure, there were some artists who worked in that field. Whatever.It's useless, fairly much, as far as a relevant medium.
-
I made sure of it.
-
...were better for movies than music. Videos were a good training ground for a lot of promising young directors who might not have gotten a toehold otherwise.But I agree that they were probably shitty for music...focusing the business on pretty young things (not that there's anything wrong with that) instead of exceptional musicians.
-
It's just what great directors did before they did what they wanted. And for every Spike there's five or a hundred dumbfucks who made music videos.Music videos are utterly useless. They don't contribute squat to anything beside the promotion of common, ordinary, therefore despicable, music.
-
...agree with video being "useless as far as a relevant medium". First of all a fuck load of film people have come from that world. And I'm not just talking about directors, I'm talking about the little people who actually make videos. Second, ANY form or artistic expression is good in my book. I cannot argue against them being monopolized and capitalized on most by the people with the most money to begin with. But in this internet age there are 1000 other ways to view music videos and the best ones I've seen in the last ten years have been on indie, underground or artist run websites.
-
Cuz, ya know, sometimes I hope somebody WILL fuck with me.
Just so I can say "You think cuz a guy reads comics he can't start some shit?!?" -
maybe he wouldn't have. It doesn't matter. Nothing about his Weezer videos (great) or his PUNK'D stuff (total crap) have anything to do with the greatness of WTWTA. Other than practice, maybe.
-
...but your broad generalizing statements are just wrong. They have definitely contributed to quite other than the promotion of common, ordinary and therefor despicable music. For one thing, you're claiming that your opinion on what music falls in those categories is all that matters. I'm sure every person on earth doesn't like the same music as you. Music videos have been made for quite a bit of outstanding music in the last 25 years that would never have been heard otherwise. Many of the techniques used to make them have then been adopted by full-length movie makers. And as I mentioned before, they employ people in an artistic field that is very difficult to break into. I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
-
I meant. And now I must go pay a bill. Until later...
-
nonny-nonny-boo-boo. I don't care what music video directors did after they did music videos. IRRELEVANT.Music videos exist as one thing, and one thing only - COMMERCIALS for music.Fuck music video. Worst thing ever.Next to 3D."Classic Subby."
-
...alert a while back...so fair warning and all...♥
-
You're good people.I'll refute you, though. There's no relevant music made in the last twenty years that depends on music video.
-
...that and a chance to pay off some student loans and be a professional. The importance of getting your feet wet can't be overestimated.
-
I'll include any of the music you want to that I won't listen to.Madonna? She exists as an example of everything that is wrong with modern music. She can't do it, but she represents it.Duran Duran. Yeah, what? Where the fuck are those "musicians"?Gimme one.But, remember, I'm just an old Pink Floyd fan. I am absolutely certain I am right, but I don't, necessarily, think you're wrong.
-
can be acceptable as an example of getting your feet wet. However, it CANNOT be acceptable as an example of why some medium is valuable or not, because those incidences don't represent the medium.
-
Isn't that the way we all all what we are?The world makes no sense except in the way I perceive it. So?

I'd like to start a new channel where all we play is music video
by d.vader
And we talk about upcoming bands and shows and give interviews and feature indie bands that are under the radar or underground hip-hop. It'll be revolutionary because no one else is doing it. Teens and young folk will flock to our channel bc, for once, finally, someone is speaking to them about and through the music they love. It'll be a music (video) renaissance.
-
when ToddleraPoo types, "Subby, go fug yourself, Old Man."
-
I think it'd be very successful.
-
...videos are for the most part disposable, and I think that overall they're not good for music.
I imagine they have probably been a boon for young filmmakers...a relatively unsupervised arena in which to get used to all the professional stuff they have to deal with...the chance to make money and win awards...get some national recognition...work with more experienced professionals...all good stuff. -
I think you're right. Whoever has enough money to pull exactly that off will be crowned Visionary of New Music, or whatever. There IS a hunger out there that is not being served while everybody else is throwing up their hands and saying, "See? They want Lady Gaga."
-
Go read the wikipedia entry on Deathlok. He's the Hawkman of the Marvel U.
-
...so I'mma pull a Keyser Söze for a bit...be back later...

I believe there is a definite hunger for that. And while I might get criticized for copying MTV, I can point and say "You mean THAT MTV that plays nothing but crap all day long? They gave it up. I grabbed it and continued."

-
The "thing" that promoted art, both musical and visual. That is definitely something that has been proven as a "viability."The problem is the money. It always has been. Somewhere, some time, unless you are independently wealthy and can say Fuck Off to corporate interests, you are going to have to deal with that devil.And, as soon as you do, my friend, I think you're fucked. The Devil always wins. The Devil is America.

John Malkovich, in the Vulture costume, sitting glumly by the fireplace in his study. Maybe a glass of brandy on the table next to his chair. The only light source is the fireplace. It doesn't have to be comic-booky. In fact, I'd rather it wasn't. I want it to have a melancholy feel to it. What do you think? I just thought it would fit in back at the home base.

I just remembered that earlier tonight while I was waiting for our slow ass computers at work to refresh, I was jotting down ideas for the last few chapters of Pedalback: TNG, and I just realize that I left them in front of the computer screen that we all use…the bad part is, I am off tomorrow!!! I DID put them under some other papers earlier when I got called away and forgot them, so hopefully no one will think to read the two pages, and I have shitty hand-writing and was using my own short hand, but, shit, I was trying out some lines and I think more than a few of them are racy, and the words “Space Ass Pirates” I am sure are legible. What to do…? I can just imagine someone reading it with all our code names wondering what the fuck is wrong with me….I could always claim I found it, but it’s written on the backs of extra printed forms we use for scratch paper….Oh, well, I’m certainly not concerned about it enough to get my ass out of bed and go in early to get it before anybody finds it…

My older brother once Googled our last name as some kind of dick-wagging thing with his co-workers and found me using my real name on a Batman website, trying to sell comics. he had his wife telephone me at my job to ask if I were a geek. Little did they know, I was using that website to sell old comics to be able to afford over-priced "collector's" Beanie Babies for their own brat child. The only thing that mattered to them was their surname associated with Batman. Oh the stigma!

I generally try not to have altercations on these talkbacks. I blew up at somebody a few weeks ago and had to remind myself of the sheer futility of doing so. I feel I'm mostly back to normal, as long as I stay out of the Lost talkback (because for some reason, I'm the insane one over there). Oh... and as long as nobody goes on a rant about how great The Village is. I will loose my shit if that happens.Politicians don't care. Our government is broken beyond repair in the US. Everyone needs to read the Constitution and take this shit down. The President has no power, Congress and Senate get nothing done, state and local governments are bankrupt. It's time for some serious changes. Wait until they try to regulate the internet, because that will finally piss people off enough to care. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door. I have never used my real name on the internet and I never will. I have several different monikers that I use in several different places. Fuck high school friends fining me. Fuck FaceBook. I use MySpace for music business purposes. My phone is registered as Mouse, M. I love Cheese. The only episode of Seinfeld I've ever seen is the puffy shirt one, and I've seen that one twice.Subs, the fact that you said, "I am absolutely certain I am right, but I don't, necessarily, think you're wrong." will forever endear you to me... in a manly talkback sorta way, of course. Too much awesome.

I had one of my asshole friends looking over my shoulder when I was posting about the Superhero shots. He tried to make me feel stupid in front of a bunch of people.

The final category, a picture category, had a bunch of Oscar-winning movie posters. The first team to correctly name all the posters or get the most right (and turned in first) would win. I saw those two sheets of paper and went on a rampage, correctly and quickly scribbling down half-legible answers for A Beautiful Mind, The Departed, Amadeus, The Deer Hunter, American Beauty, Silence of the Lambs, Chicago, Driving Miss Daisy, Kramer vs Kramer, Rocky, Rain Man, and Million Dollar Baby. And I got back to the DJ first, within 1 min 20 seconds, and won my team a bucket of beer. BOOYAH! Take that asshole frat boy who violently yanked the picture sheet out of my hands as the DJ was giving them out.

Although I don't think you got my point on the [deleted] cinematography thing. For once they DIDN't sit at computers to "shoot" the thing. They had camera-like doohickeys (NOT talking about those little motion capture sonar-like things) which they aimed at actor-like people (haw!). As well as more regular cameras. And it was cameramen, directors and D.P.s, not desk jockeys. Obviously I'm not articulate enough, so maybe I can find some youtube thing that shows what they did. Even though you're probably over it!
As far as healthcare and being improperly fucked, I had considered working in America, but between having diabetes, high blood pressure and a daughter with C.P., I'm thinking that scraping by in Oz with Medicare looks pretty good... -

congrats on triva glory dude. And you know how you mentioned about loving the throne room scene in Jedi? Old man Lucas actually directed that scene. The score in that rawks too.

Thing is, as I said, nobody is awarding [deleted] for the way they photographed the green screen or filmed actors in skin suits with cameras strapped to their heads. All that stuff is meaningless to most. No, [deleted] is being rewarded for the end result - the images on the screen. And, I will contend, with my final breath, that placing a camera in the real world and getting an image as beautiful as a Malick image or a Herzog image is different than using a computer. Different enough to really, really matter.

lol. It's pretty easy to get that stopped, just mention that somebody is spamming in a Subject line and they usually disappear pretty quickly. And while I'm with you on that, I think nonsensical, unprovoked attacks on people just because they have a different opinion than you are unacceptable. Call me whatever you look, curse however you want, just make a point while doing so. Calling somebody a bunch of names for no particular reason is sociopathic. Those people need to get off teh internets and get some help.

Was the shitty cheap-arse 3d. The "viewmaster" shortcut technique where it's only cutting up a 2d picture and putting bits on flat cards in 3d space, which is not full 3d. Like the shitty stuff they did in that movie fanboys all hated called Superman Returns. Cough[hint]cough. Splutter[Subs]splutter. -
I have the box set and I rarely, if ever, watch part four. Part three however, if I remember correctly, I quite enjoy. That's the one with the penal colony, right? I like that Ridley gets to be bad ass. I dig Charles S Dutton's character arc. And I love that the cyborg guy gets to come back as a little chunk o' robot.

cause the reason i got so mad about it was before I blasted him I wanted to see what it was about and it was the worst fucking shit I had ever seen. Not funny, not "absurd" just total crap. I was mad he re-posted the same thing over and over but I was even more mad that what he was selling was ass.
-
I think it's mainly knee-jerk Cameron favoritism. Conversely, it's the same sort of thing that explains how Nolan got such a pass for BEGINS. RESURRECTION is just bad. Even so, there are more decent bits in RESURRECTION than in the whole "versus Predator" concept. I really, really hope they're done with that.

Hells yeah 3 is better than 4. I mostly love Jeunet to bits but fuck me I wanted Whedon's head on a spit for basically doing the Aliens: Labyrinth comic REALLY BADLY. The thing is, they fucked a scene that could have been the distilation of everything the Alien story is about. Sense of self, motherhood (and the perversion and metaphor inherent in the humans pregnant with "alien" lifeforms), what it means to be human/alien/an outsider/a woman, etc etc. It's the scene where she discovers the clone lab, which could have been what the whole saga had been building to. Nope. She gets a bit rattled and the rest of the film she's basically no different and carries on with guns blazing. Fuch that shit. She should have had an existential crisis right there and then and everybody else in there freaking out for the rest of the movie, not wanting to be with this now TRULY wild cannon. Blah. Thank Gof Jeunet redeemed himself with Amelie.
Sure Alien 3 was fucked (pwoper fucked!) worse than the Wolfman before it got in front of the cameras, but the first act up to the funeral builds beautifully (this is where everyone disowns me), and the end with her crucifixion tableau is flat out poetic to me. Everything inbetween pretty much sucks though, Charles Dutton aside! I don't have a problem with bald Poms, but it took me a while to work out that two characters weren't actually the same guy. -
But I've already kinda ruled that one out due to the whole 3D thing.Call me stubborn. Whatever.

...some days, even some weeks, everything seems to be running smoothly. I'll be settling in to how much I like it here and how it's feeling like the "good old times". Then, blam! "Stuff" happens, and I'm not bringing that here. I just wish more threads were like this one. People conversing, discussing, sharing, even debating. I'm really over the name calling, fighting and cock measuring that seems to prevail so often in the end. Unfortunately, 'tis the way of the world. "Things" have changed and there is no going back. I've found this thread a couple times now, but I keep loosing it when it switches over to a new topic. I'm definitely going to try and keep track of it this time.

I did miss it. Was it Alice?

Good night youse. Type @ y'all tomorrow.

Sixies was Some Guy, and I was Some Other Guy.Stabby's trying to set up the next one. Why don't you and he do one?
-
I didn't mention the other one though - a reviled sequel to a certain Jim Carrey flick with a bloody awful so-called comedian. Great fun to work on, but if you wanna talk about a stink that won't shake...
-
Wow, I mostly agree, but I think I'll re-watch it with some of what you said in mind. I dig doing that and I haven't seen it in a while. I never stressed that much about her reaction to the clone lab because Ridley is always so tense and stressed out (to the extreme). I'm not sure where else she could have gone with it other than just shutting down, which definitely would have worked... for a few minutes at least. Oh, totally as an aside, I can't get into Amelie. It's my kind of movie, too. I even bought it just KNOWING I was going to love it... but for some reason, I don't.
-
i would seek out the arguments and follow them back to the start, mostly cause it is like a "rap battle" in a way, where I want to see who can be the most creative in cutting the other guy down. Calling each other retard, and saying you live in your moms basement is just so cliche and boring.
-
, not to mention telling peeps "fuch that shit". I think I may be a bit tired...
-
I LOVE that doc. A certain actor who played the same characters as Jim Carey in a certain film aside, that is a great documentary. Wonderful insights regarding what it's like to be a performer.
-
Steve Carell's Moses movie. My second thought is the white kid who pretends to be a hip-hopper some times. I never saw that one.
-
And, I read this weeks SG&SOG and I found it more entertaining and better organized than the first one, which is as it should be with any developing segment…I definitely liked the ‘first time callers’ part like Flick did…

Trash talk with a point is one thing, clear sociopathic behavior (to the point that I've been genuinely disturbed by whats taking place) is another thing all together. It's how the internet has changed "manners" (and grammar) in regards to social behavior in general. Not for the better.

G'night.

That's messed up. You know I meant Ripley, though... right? *cough*
-
you may be right. And if you missed the dancing baby, you were spared. Nighty night mate.
-
I think I'm out, too. I'm going to go do some comic book reading. yaaaaays! Laters.
-
I wanted to do one with Conti cause it would be a drastic contrast of high brow (him) and low(very low) brow. I would do one with Stabby though for sure. Depending on the movie of course. With Shutter island I thought there was a high degree of anticipation and then even a long wait before the "event" (hell I wrote a story about it in the meantime). Anyway I think that is the difference. People aren't gonna show up for a Some Guy Some Other Guy about Cop Out.
-
for callers into the "show"?

Jaka - yeah I knew who you meant! No, haven't seen heckler. I admit I never liked Jaime whatsisface. Although I scored some free Nikes from costume because he's the same size as me. Which makes him a shortarse!

Over “Kick Ass”…which is the next movie I plan to pay money to see in a theatre…
I haven’t read the comic, but the trailers seems an awful lot like a comic I wrote while I was in High School in the mid ‘70’s, so, I gotta see it…
-
Me earholes, they ache! Dooood. That was awfulness. And Subs is going to say something about it, too. Dang it. The eighties definitely had some crap choons.
-
and Heckler is one of the best looks at artist vs. audience EVER. Jamie Kennedy's best work since his cameo in Harold and Kumar peeing on the bush.
-
...the movie is very much like the comic book. Kick-Ass, that is. Some scenes are lifted directly from the panels/pages of the book. Some of it also appears to be completely different, though, and that's a good thing. Because, while the comic book has a good premise, as has been mentioned in some of the @$$Holes reviews, it doesn't really make you care about the characters too awful much. Definitely seeing that one in the theater myself.

Getting back to the 80s thing as we are, I wanted to weigh in and say that growing up in the 80s rocked for being around to see some of the greatest genre stuff of all time in a concentrated stream at the cinema. 82 being the greatest year for film since 39.

Mary Catherine turned the corner onto her street. Thoughts of that strap-on danced through her mind and she couldn't wait to get home and diddle herself repeatedly. She was humming some Lady Ga Ga song that she couldn't remember the name of. From an alley at her right she saw electricity flicker between the two buildings. An energy orb grew larger and an explosion of air blew Mary Catherine's dress up and hair back. The rush of air sent a chill through her pudendum and up her spine. She dropped to her knees in orgasm.
As her eyes re focused she saw a figure emerge from the alley. He was naked. He had no dick.
Detective Schlukkter staggered toward the girl. She stumbled to her feet and tried to run but she slipped on her vag juices that had puddled under her. She crawled through her pussy secretions away from the dickless stranger.
"Stay back..", she yelped "Just cause you can't rap me doesn't mean I want you near me."
She finally got to her feet and started to run as best as a girl in "fuck me" pumps could.
"I'll make you famous." Schlukkter said.
Mary Catherine stopped in her tracks. The detective had said the magic words. Mary C. had been counting the days til graduation when she planned on moving out to L.A. and starting her lesbian porn career. "Film or T.V.?" she asked.
"Neither." Schlukkter said. "You will be famous throughout history as the savior of the world."
"Yeah..sure. Me and a dickless naked man are going to save the world. I would ask you for some of the drugs your on but unless you're wearing them up your ass you have nothing to offer me."
"You have a laptop, right?" Schlukkter asked. "You download movies for free right?"
"Who doesn't?"
"It was a rhetorical question dear. I already know you do. Your screen name is Brenda's_pudenda90210. We need your help."
"We? How did you know my screen name you hacking eunuch?"
"Listen...I'm from the future. Movies are destroying our world. The only defense we have at this point is crippling the industry by effecting the profits. We have to use your laptop to download free movies." -

to a scene of chaos on his bridge. Ensigns and techs darted back and forth in an agitated manner and loud klaxons continued to bother Sub’s delicate music listening organs. “Status Report,’ He boomed authoritatively…“Six warships have de-cloaked off both starboard and bow …” First Officer Moose answered. “We are surrounded by Space Ass Pirates…,” added Lt. Stabby, Chief Security Officer. “Shields up.” Subs ordered. “We’re way ahead of you there, Captain,” Stabby snapped. “How about some defensive maneuvers?”“Hard to port,” Subs specified, noticing that young Ensign Kord wasn‘t in his seat at helm. “The lead ship is hailing us.” Stabby growled. “On Screen,” Subs ordered as he sat in his luxuriously upholstered Captain’s chair in the center of it all.The screen shimmered to show a grizzled old man who looked every bit the pirate that the actor Johnny Depthfalls immortalized in the late 21st Century CamTech 3-D re-make of ALL 12 ‘Pirates of the Caribbean ’ sequels.

Stabby, Chief Security Officer. “Shields up.” Subs ordered. “We’re way ahead of you there, Captain,” Stabby snapped. “How about some defensive maneuvers?”“Hard to port,” Subs specified, noticing that young Ensign Kord wasn‘t in his seat at helm. “The lead ship is hailing us.” Stabby growled. “On Screen,” Subs ordered as he sat in his luxuriously upholstered Captain’s chair in the center of it all.The screen shimmered to show a grizzled old man who looked every bit the pirate that the actor Johnny Depthfalls immortalized in the late 21st Century CamTech 3-D re-make of ALL 12 ‘Pirates of the Caribbean ’ sequels.

Through OnDemand, not Netflix, so don't worry, Subby. It's extremely well acted, but the actors deserved a better director. The movie's at its best when Daniels is just capturing the performances, even if EVERY SHOT is oversaturated with light or marred by some cinematic affectation. As a result, much of the impact from the uniformly powerful performances is blunted by Daniels' incongruous and inconsistent "stylistic fluorishes" and the overbearing soundtrack. I've heard that PRECIOUS works well if you view it as a modern-day exploitation film. I tried to do this when it became clear early on that it wasn't working as straight drama, but the movie takes itself far too seriously. Even its ridiculousness falls flat. PRECIOUS is stuck in the nowhere zone between high camp, Sirk-ian melodrama and an Afterschool Special. **1/2 out of five.

Poledouris' score creates a mystical, exotic atmosphere
by colonelfatheart
that makes the film feel like its set in an entirely different reality. I like that Conan's world, at least in the movie, has no connection to ours. I should give credit to the location scouts and the cinematographer. And Milius' philosophy, er, throbs through the frame in every scene. What a great picture.
-
If anyone else has seen PRECIOUS, I'd like to read your thoughts.

Robocop... quigley down under is good too...oh and RED OcTOBER!!!

...the Russian choral stuff.

...by Sapphire. I'll not see it, so you could spoil away...Mariah Carey's 'stache, whatever...all fair game.
-
Enjoy: http://ow.ly/1fyjo

...BARBARIAN elevates the source material too. I recently reread all the original stories, and they're predictably all over the place...in a good way. I can never figure out if Howard is aware of what he's doing or not...I'm leaning towards not, and that makes it great pulp. A lot of pulp writers seem to be consciously slumming, but you get the feeling that Howard was a true believer.Howard's CONAN stories are like your own fevered adolescent dreams and nightmares...but better.
-
...I SHALL MULTIPASS!

The score is the film's greatest asset, but let's not diminish Milius' contribution either. It's a gorgeous movie in many parts.

Really? Very interesting. It really is my favorite part of the entire movie, when Luke is hiding and then goes apeshit on Vader. My favorite camera movement is the tracking shot, from right to left, behind the staircase, as Luke just starts wailing on Vader. The music fits perfectly there too.

I did like that ridiculous part, and I loved the shot of Indy juxtaposed with the mushroom cloud. Iconic stuff.
-
after the reeves stuff went off..they tried to revive it with little people in dog costumes..

That's a damn good-looking shot. Powerful even. And yea, when Indy climbed into that fridge, I laughed. I loved it. Indy survived a nuclear blast, who'da thought it!

its a doc on the history of supes..narrated by kevin spacey..i think it was directed by the guy who did the star wars doc..real insightful

It was the only time I felt like the movie truly existed in the 1950s. But the remainder of the film... as a friend of mine pointed out about SKULL- it sucks when the entire movie could have turned out the same way with or without the hero's participation.
-
And I don't think I would have had a problem the nuked fridge if it had stayed still instead of flying in the air and bouncing all over the place which would have killed Indy alone. Like if it had been in the basement and after the town gets nuked and Indy emerges with everything around him obliterated.
-
in INDY 4. Then again, I don't think the movie is the cinematic abortion it's been labeled as. It doesn't live up to the other Indy movies, sure, and the CG was annoying, but it's still good fun. People say some of the stuff is too ridiculous, like nuking the fridge. The guy survived the Wrath of God by simply closing his eyes, how can he not survive a nuke blast?
-
even with INDY 4
-
liked the town and didn't mind the fridge if it had just stayed put.It is always funny the difference between what entertains and then what we find insulting to our intelligence. Sure the fridge flying through the air is more exciting but with an atomic bomb going off do you really need that extra action? Just have the building collapse around him or something.
-
Its not terrible like most pple would have you believe. There are some bad parts, but I fully believe the DoomTown and Nuked Fridge are one of the best in the whole movie. And I think the giant ant scene is great too.
-
...Pietro Torrigiano was twice his size, and Michelangelo was just a kid.Don't forget that Micky swung a hammer and chisel and wrestled marble all day...I bet the mature Mikey could have put on tights and a cape and fought for truth, justice, and the Florentine way with the best of them.
-
Not when everything else is being blown back by the explosion.
-
That wrath of God stuff is from the Bible which Indy knew because he's an archeologist. And it palys into the fantasy aspect of the movie. In contrast, we all know that hiding in a refrigerator during a nuclear blast ain't gonna work.

just the scene leading up to it. I don't know how I thought he was going to get out of that one when he ran into the house but I thought it was ridiculous when he hid in the fridge. If the fridge was in the basement and stayed put instead of flying and tumbling for some reason it would have been a little more believable to me. Just my personal opinion.

In 1994, Knowles fell while pushing a cart up a ramp at a convention, and was subsequently run over by the cart with its 1200 pound load of memorabilia. The accident injured his back and left him virtually bedridden. His mother died shortly thereafter in a fire

"That would make some awesome movies." Doesn't sound right.

I forgot to laugh.

Check out The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (aka The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones).

Would have been really awesome.

His Mom dies in a horrific fire, burnt to a fucking crisp. Like a piece of shitty Burger King bacon. He takes the insurance money-- the money his mother worked her whole life for--and blows it on a computer to play 'Doom' with his asshole friends....what a fucking joke. HAHAHAHAHA!

What's up[ buddy? Why don't you PM me so we can gay off like the good ol' days. Daddy's girl's been a bad girl!

Ahahaha, that's what's funny.

I'm surprised that the Taco Bell you're working at lets you use the internet. I thought that was reserved for the management. MAKE ME MY BURRITO NIGGER!

that was a kick ass story arc too...they did like 3 or 4 movies with that.

2009.Directed by Lee Daniels.Yuck.It's not the writing, which is competent. It's certainly not the performances, which are universally powerful. It's not even the subject matter - a gender and class-specific horror story with a thin, matte veneer of afternoon-talk-show empowerment sentimentality. Nah, the failure of this is all on Lee Daniels, a director who cuts everything with what I imagine he intends as a sort of hip-hop flair, turning it into a heavy-handed, overly mannered slog with unintentionally laughable fantasy sequences. Even in moments of raw human emotion that have an edge sharp enough to cut and wound, his spasming hand jerks around to interrupt the focus. Four-star performances stuck in a one-star puddle of yuck.★★☆☆☆ ½

Maybe after your shift, Vader we can go see it. Give each other handjobs in the back of your mom's 1987 Astrovan and then deny that we are gay. "there just massages...right?" wink wink!

of the camera to reveal Mo'nique's character as if she were some fabled money-shot-worthy monster. Blecch! Lee Daniels should not be allowed to direct again.

at the Ass Pirate on the screen…“Sir, Bi-polar Waitress is no one’s property. She is a sentient being with unalienable, unassailable rights. The Pedalback Federation does not condone human slavery."“Well, you’re not in the Federation now, are you?” replied the pirate leader who made a motion with his hands to someone off screen.“Captain,” Stabby warned. “They are charging up their protein torpedoes.”“Mr. Ass Tastes, we do not want any trouble with your people…”“Then lower your shields and prepare to be boarded and surprise sexed…”With that a single protein torpedo shot toward the USS Gary Oldman which splattered harmlessly off of the ship’s force field condom. “Evasive maneuvers!” yelled the captain. “Fire all weapons…”“Firing phrasers….They are too fast sir…they weave in and out of our phraser fire.”“Series 7, recommendations?” The android officer turned to look at the captain. “We could try a phrase modulator with a alternating meaningless symbols…”“Make it so…”“No effect,” sighed Stabby. “Why can’t we just STAB them?”The smaller pirate ships continued to spooge protein torpedoes all over the shield condom and it was getting hard to see into the space outside the field. Series 7 made a few adjustments to the phrasers and set them to Engrish…Immeadiatley, the ships began to turn and run…“The Ass pirates have broken off the attack,” Stabby cried out triumphantly.Clean off those shields and lets get to Nazareth…” Captain Subs ordered. “I’ll be in sickbay with Bi-polar Waitress.

The first and last seconds are always clipped because they flow into each other.Nuked fridges. Got nothin.' Never saw it. Never, ever will."Superboy" had two Superboys. The one from the later seasons was more convincing, well, not as a boy, but as a super. Later episodes were written by comic book writers and involved all sorts of groovy tropes like dark alternate futures and so forth. So superior to "Smallville," even though, as a Saturday morning series, it had woeful production values.Schlukkter will have lost-in-time adventures, eventually. Just like comic-book Bruce Wayne, he'll be a cave-man, a pirate, a with-hunter, a cowboy, searching the epochs for his missing dick.eggsalad smells bad. The fridge must be on the fritz.

I loved the guys work, but IMO he never did anything else that came close to the magic of Conan The Barbarian. It's just a perfect piece of music (and there's around 45 minutes of it that don't appear on the official soundtrack release). I think my second pick from Basil would actually be the Lonesome Dove tv mini-series. I've seen MANY of the other films he scored, but very few of them have stuck with me in a memorable way. And strangely, Conan The Destroyer is actually complete stank.

Coco to officially hit the road in U.S./Canada theater tour.
by anonymoose
The tour is titled "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television."
-
And its the music they play during the Snake Temple scene when Conan goes to steal the jewel. Damnit its awesome stuff and nowhere to be found. That cries out for a special edition rerelease. Speaking of which, my Goonies soundtrack should be coming in the mail soon.
-
It contains the first official cd release, some bootlegs that got out of a few tracks not on the official cd and the remaining tracks ripped from a DVD (with movie sound effects intact). It's one of those things you'd need to find in those places where you can do that thing that people generally frown upon.
-
is negative 100. Makes you wanna step into the time machine and go back to when you were 15 and kick your own ass for even thinking of taking your dick out of your pants for any reason other than to pee or stick it in a bowl of rancid eggsalad.
-
Much love to your whore mother and faggot father....
Seriously, a fuckin' Conan soundtrack. And you wonder why you can't get laid....GEEK -
Maaan, I need more coffee. I swear I'd do an in arm caffeine drip if I could. Just walk around with a bag inside my jacket or shirt up around the shoulder. A regulator on the tube so I could crank it up when needed. ....I should work on this... money to be made...
-
I just wiki'd CONAN THE DESTROYER to check if it was Poledouris who scored it... and yay. Indeed.
Although I've prob seen that film a half dozen times, it was long ago and I don't remember the soundtrack enough to tell if it was a genuinely new score or just a rehash of CONAN THE BARBARIAN with a few bridging bits thrown in.
The main thing I remember about CONAN THE DESTROYER was the 'cruelty to puppetry' at the climax when Conan rips the horn off the big bad monster... ouch, with all the sinews stretching and snapping... made me feel sorry for the poor beastie. -
Loves the dick. Little Asian yellow hairless child like cock.
-
...playing more that any other piece of music. Here the lemantation of the women, indeed.
-
Its just different enough to not be just like the Barbarian theme, but it sounds very fitting, like the further adventures of Conan.
-
We're all gay. Next.
-
And you'd be surprised how often I got laid before I got my current girlfriend.
-
There are themes rehashed, but a lot of it is new. Check out Basil Poledouris on IMDb, the guy scored a shit load of geek movies (Robocops, Starship Troopers, Red Dawn). Here's the link through tiny url http://tinyurl.com/ydrlcbu
-
We’re all Gay for Jesus®...Oh, and don’t forget small penises…we all have them, too…
-
Destroyer is poisoned poopcycles. Cheesey movie with bad acting and awful special affects. I try my hardest to just forget it even exists. Arnold wasn't a box office king yet or that movie would never have happened. And Red Sonja ain't much better.
-
...it could be a poopcycle too, because it definitely rides a pile of poop.
-
Fucking excellent....asshole. Your parents must be proud, they tell all there friends that you are "eccentric" when they're actually talking late into the night about whether or not you're gay or depressed. Your dad cries himself to sleep asking himself over and over..."what did I do fucking wrong" and "what did I do to deserve this Conan The Destroyer soundtrack loving homo son"...fucking choke on a shit stinking cock.
-
And I know this because of an English reggae band. *shrug* The world is strange sometimes.

eggsalad, you're not funny, you're not shocking, you're not wanted. And no, I've been visiting this site before and never seen your name either...
Like a little buzzing fly in the ointment. Noob boy trying to get a rise out of us.
I'll tell you what i'll do. I'll let you bash away at your keyboard like the impotent eunuch you are, and each time you post i'll laugh at what a little hate-filled loser you are.
But no more feeding for you troll. You've already had more than you merit. -
So, they don’t really mind…
-
...in the pedal back zone. So I shall now go ingest caffeine and sort files.
-
You're absolutely right, I'm sorry to bother you and this site. Thanks Man.
-
do the themes sound similar to anyone else..
-
You rock.
-
i have an offical expanded CONAN..similar to the one on itunes
-
Eggsalad, now that's more like it! I LOVE YOU TOO MAN!!
-
Wanna go and give each other facials...ehhhh, Cobra Kai might get jealous...
-
Didn't Goldsmith do TOTAL RECALL?
-
I wonder if that's the same one I bought years ago...
-
...to ever walk the face of da' Erf. So I definitely haven't checked out anything at iTunes. An officially expanded CTB soundtrack would be a joyous wonderful thing. I've not yet seen one, though. Every time I've seen/heard one it turns out to be the original official cd with some other less than stellar tracks tacked on (including some that are clearly lifted straight from the movie). I'll look again though, for sure.
-
That should disappear within an hour or two.
-
of some honor. I was just pushing the obvious joke.

So I figured you did. It's just that lack of caffeine thing. Makes me too literal. So annoying.

Cobra, I’m sitting here wishing, hoping praying to the lord sweet Jesus….please God hear my prayer….that you’re poor, broken down whore of a mother get that’s special woman cancer. Her insides just rotting away like her soul did that night you were conceived outside of that highway stripclub. She’s coughing up blood in a dirty little napkin, sitting in her shit stained robe watching Maury---telling you how everything is going to be alright when in the back of her mind she’s scared shitless; completed mortified that you have become even more of a fucking loser than she is. “Who’s going to look after my asshole offspring when I’m gone?” “He can’t certainly make the rent on this here trailer with his earnings at the Game Stop”….

Except for a taco with eggs in it.

It’s hard to grow up well adjusted when your mom is Marie Osmond…I just wish he would hurry up and take his brother’s cue and finally end the pain for all of us…

to resist the wisdom of your review. Tried to talk myself into it. Then, the Italian film fantasy sequence hit, and I couldn't pretend anymore. I was watching a Lifetime Channel movie with TCM aspirations from a VH1 director.
-
What would have been an UNBELIEVABLE simultaneous post…”Peace, Jaka…”
-
A hate-filled human being. Deserves pity. Recieves laughter. Hahahahahaha!! Noob.
-
Spike Lee is frickin' Orson Welles compared to Lee Daniels. I am so relieved he's not the person I had him confused with weeks ago.
-
twenty more minutes.
-
do you think it's possible to watch Precious like a John Waters' movie and derive some laughs from it that way? Col. says no.
-
Dismissed. Nicely done, Cobes.
-
hes like the black de palma...his misses are rough!
-
Tons.
-
The performances are really good. However, there are sequences that you could quite easily imagine as if they straight out of John Waters. Whenever "Precious" fantasizes about her inner diva, it's not uplifting - it's ridiculous. Then, I kid you not, there's an "actual" party scene later in the film which I seriously thought was another fantasy.
-
FUCKING PRICELESS! As Harry's mom lay trapped in flames, crying in agonizing pain as her flesh wilted and fell off--she had one thought to that helped ease her mind as she died…”At least Harry will have my insurance money to ensure a rich and fulfilling life”. HA HA…FAT FUCK GOES OUT AND BUYS A COMPUTER TO PLAY FUCKING DOOM!
-
Because that's what you are.
Gentlemen. -
the "revolving classroom of film clips?" Did you think you'd stumbled into a P.Diddy video?
-
Barely. Mo'nique and Sidibe are astounding. Mariah Carey is very good, too, in her supporting role. Daniels is the "active fault" in this movie, to crib from Flick.

You had a wild idea? Beetle sense tingling...

That was FAST.

There was no reason for it in the context of the movie other than for Daniels to "show off."
