And incidentally, Hooper drives the boat. During Quint's speech about the Indianapolis, I loved the non-verbal acting that Dreyfuss and Scheider are doing. Not so much subtle, but the slow dawning realization that they're in the hands of a borderline lunatic who isn't so much 'salt-of-the-earth/sea' as he is a horribly traumatized vet is a great reaction to probably one of the best monologues I've ever heard.

Cuase, that would not surprise me at all.

Die Hard With a Vengeance: At the start they mention that a couple of trucks are stolen Gruber uses these to rob the Federal Reserve Simon says that he wouldn't give up McClane for all the gold in Fort Knox The reason for this is that he consider that gold pennies compared to the gold in the Federal Reserve A couple of Simon's henchmen picks up some discharged explosives because they fear that some kids might be killed by it Which makes it pretty obvious that the bomb at the school is a dud

Vicissitude posted:And incidentally, Hooper drives the boat. He aint got no spit either. My favorite part of the Indianapolis speech is that it was re-written over and over and no one could get it right until Robert Shaw had a go at it the night before the final take and he delivered the whole thing completely shitfaced. Just drunk as poo poo. If you watch it now, it's patently obvious he's bombed, but it works perfectly for the scene and the character. The other great part about speech is that almost none of it is historically accurate.

Re-reading it, "Almost none of it" was was extremely lovely wording on my part. I meant the number of deaths directly attributed to sharks was exaggerated for effect and drive the story. The sharks were mostly eating crew members who were already dead or close to it. http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/indianapolis.htm http://www.fearbeneath.com/2008/10/uss-indianapolis-crewmember-recounts-harrowing-tale-of-survival/ It wasn't that they were all waiting for rescue and since no rescue signal had been sent, they all just floated there and were eaten alive for days. quote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_of_Fear#Historical_Basis Sorry for the JAWS derail but this film is near and dear to my heart.

Long story short I loved it, even though I totally misheard Hooper's name throughout (shamed).

The capsizing boat was an awesome set piece too. OK I'll quit gushing now.

The capsizing boat was an awesome set piece too. OK I'll quit gushing now. I made one a few years back that had a pretty good run. It's really cool to listen to and read the reactions of younger people who've never seen it before. My wife had never seen it and watching her pick up her feet up off the edge of the couch and generally just piss her pants was great fun. The documentaries and DVD extras are great. And I guess they're it's subtle, but the framing shot or the Orca leaving the dock surrounded by the giant shark teeth I still find pretty clever. Reminds me a bit of the rat in The Departed but not nearly as ham-fisted. To contribute though, I still love in Superman when Clark is looking for somewhere to change into his costume and gives the non-encased phone booth a quick up and down glance before moving on into the alley. Tarantino's not known for his subtlety, but the approving "mmmm" look that Harvey Keitel gives him after sipping the coffee is pretty cute, 10 minutes after Quentin talks about how he likes and buys "the gourmet poo poo". Also, a lot people miss this, but after listening to Jimmy go on about "dead friend of the family" this and "dead friend of the family" that, when he's imagining his wife coming home and catching them, she's black. Sorry if these were mentioned before. Just trying to move off of JAWS.

Edit: Nevermind, read that last part to quickly. Edit 2: In The Mist, a scorpion-fly lands on the religious lady. Staying calm, she says something like "My life is yours, thy will be done", and the thing flies away. After that she ramps up the crazy rhetoric and eventually gets into ritualistic sacrifice- I don't think it was God that she made a pact with. This is different than the novella by Stephen King, which was much, much better. Professor Shark has a new favorite as of 18:25 on Sep 3, 2013 |

Alhazred posted:Die Hard With a Vengeance: I saw Die Hard witih a Vengeance at a very young age and it has always been one of my favorite action movies. Jeremy Irons's character is such an amazing puppetmaster villain. Every time he's on the phone with the police or FBI, he's loving with them. All the riddles, idioms, accents, nervous ticks, and losses of composure served to convince them he was this manical vengeance-driven terrorist, which he absolutely wasn't. I can't think of a better way to continue the story of the original Die Hard. You can definitely believe that his and Alan Rickman's characters are brothers. Also, every step of his plan goes off without a hitch. McLane never really catches up to his plot, he's always once step behind. The only reason McLane is able to find him at the end of the movie, is the clue he find on the Aspirin bottle, which Gruber only gave him because he was chained to a loving bomb on a soon to be abandoned boat. Sorry, I love DHwaV. Edit: autocorrect! Mr. Bad Guy has a new favorite as of 20:35 on Sep 3, 2013 |

I love Tombstone, and one scene in particular, I really like: Just before the shootout at the O.K. Corral, Wyatt and his boys are squaring off against the the Clantons. The camera shifts back and forth between the characters all tensely eyeing each other and then it shows Val Kilmer, as Doc Holliday, wink at Billy Clanton. Billy's eyes open wide and at that moment Wyatt knows that all hell is going to break loose. There are strings (background music) playing at a high pitch and as soon as Wyatt sees that Billy is about to draw, the strings suddenly slide down to a lower register and he says "Oh my God..." and then the shooting starts. I really like the tension in the way he delivers that line and the background music effect. Here's the whole scene, 1:25 is the moment in particular, although you have to watch the whole thing to appreciate buildup and sudden explosion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRiWAxMMX5o Count Freebasie has a new favorite as of 22:51 on Sep 3, 2013 |

From what I understand, that might be the most accurate movie portrayal of the famous shootout (and there have been many, many others) and it's still about three times too long. I love Kilmer's reaction after Paxton saves his life at the end of that clip. It's a subtle moment on it's own, because the whole characterization is that he wants to die in a blaze of glory, instead of the slow painful death TB is giving him. He expected to get shot there, and he's just kind of stunned for a moment that his death got stolen from him again.

I like how when he's faking being an agent surveying the damage of the bomb site. His fake American accent slips just a bit when he smirks to himself and says "Somebody had fun."

I'm watching the director's cut of The Chronicles of Riddick and during the scene on Crematoria in which Riddick receives-slash-unlocks his HIDDEN FURYAN ANGER or whatever, exploding into a ball of energy, everyone in the area was affected and blown back save for the Necromonger Purifier, since he too was a Furyan. Whether you like what the director's cut added to the film or not, I thought it was an interesting touch in a moment that doesn't focus on it.

It's probably been mentioned, but the bars in the World's End describe the plot of the movie. -The First Post is where they start -The Old Familiar is where they first encounter Sam -The Famous Cock is where they can't drink because Gary is banned for famously being a cock -The Cross Hands incites the first fight scene -The Good Companions is short and uneventful and probably the last time they all get along -The Trusty Servant is where the Reverend Green gives them insight to what's going on (and where Olliver becomes a trusty servant) -The Two Headed Dog is where they fight the twins -The Mermaid involves robots seductively drawing them in to pull them under (like Mermaids) -The Beehive erupts into an all-out loving brawl -Before arriving at the King's Head, the King (Gary King) is punched unconscious. Upon waking up, he immediately heads out on his own -The Hole in the Wall is where Steven drives a car through the wall -The World's End is obvious

(Chronicles of Riddick) Exactly, there was no super-mystical Furyan uebermensch rage power stuff, and the destiny stuff was less heavy-handed. A lot of people dislike the DC but I think it's fine and still a fun movie to throw on from time to time.
