I was trying to figure out if they were shooting from the rooftops but some of those shots panned up too smooth to be done by a bunch of guys on a roof or a jury-rigged crane, but drones have gotten ridiculously cheap that I'd believe that Ramon Film Productions could probably afford a $100 drone.

I've never even thought about using drones in film productions before, but yeah it shouldn't be to hard at all to set one up these days. You could probably save a lot of money on aerial shots that way. MechanicalTomPetty fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jan 6, 2016 |

I hate to say this, but I was turned on (no pun intended) to this fact when I was watching a relatively-recent porno and they shot some of the photo model prologue bits with a drone: there was a couple high angle shots of the pornstar lounging at the pool and I was wondering if they actually got a crane or a helicopter until I saw the shadow of a quadrotor hovering at the edge of the frame. If they're employing quadrotors in porn, then it's likely a lot of people are using them for aerial or crane shots nowadays, especially since they're cheap enough for independent filmmakers now. For instance, here's a drone operator replicating the famous shot of the ECTO-1 crossing the Brooklyn Bridge in Ghostbusters... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3NDPBwQGJs Young Freud fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Jan 6, 2016 |

The mention of replicating a shot from Ghostbusters made me think of this: Someone apparently driving through the long-closed The Dixie Square Mall from Blues Brothers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHJNr81kAVY I wished they'd done a better job of trying to frame shots to look like the original, though. (Apparently from a documentary called "Return to Chicago")

"The Ridiculous Six, by way of example, in the first 30 days on Netflix it's been the most-watched movie in the history of Netflix," said Sarandos. "It's also enjoyed a spot at #1 in every territory we operate in, and in many of them it's still #1." http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/6/10724288/netflix-ces-2016-the-ridiculous-six-most-watched-movie

For a low budget movie populated by nobodies (and Roddy Piper) they at least had the common sense to have the bad guy be a trained pro wrestler, to make the in-ring stuff look decent.

Crossposting from the Netflix thread: So I was bored today and I saw Lee Daniels' The Butler was on Netflix so I decided to watch it. Overall I'd say it's a pretty good movie. I remember a lot of people criticizing it for trying to downplay the Civil Rights movement, but what it's really about is the Civil Rights experience from a middle class black perspective. Cecil Gaines grew up as an Alabama sharecropper and saw his father murdered right in front of him. This instilled in him a sense of caution about directly opposing the white man. At the same time, he fights to get his children a better life, and by the time the film really kicks off he has a comfortable middle class house in DC (his wife is Oprah). While he's generally the perspective character, we're clearly not meant to sympathize with him. He is set in his ways, and this leads him to fight regularly with his son, Louis (David Oyelowo, who is MLK in Selma ). Louis is the character that we most often identify with throughout the film. Early on, he questions why there's not a single white student at his high school graduation. He eventually joins up with the Freedom Riders (and is attacked there), is jailed multiple times, and eventually joins the Black Panthers. Comparisons can be drawn to Jenny from Forrest Gump, but he takes a very different track. While he does leave the Black Panthers because he finds them too extreme, he never really gives up his rebellious spirit, eventually being jailed again in the 80s for protesting apartheid. Being that this is set in the White House, there must be some discussion of the Presidents. In general I would say they're trying to get the tone of the Presidents off first, and then make them not look too bad. Robin Williams as Eisenhower is the only one that kind of breaks this trend, but James Marsden as JFK and Lieb Schreiber as LBJ definitely get their personalities across. A special mention to John Cusack as Richard Nixon, who gets his scumminess across early on as Eisenhower's VP, and then later on as he's drunk on the couch during Watergate. Last but not least, it's really interesting how the right haircut can make Alan Rickman seem like Ronald Reagan from a distance (although the accent kind of poked through). If I had criticisms about this film, it's primarily at the beginning. We get this extended look at Cecil's past, including his father getting shot and his mother getting raped, which later leads her to be "sick in the head" (as he put it). This is accompanied by a voice over which is basically Cecil telling you how he felt. I get that it was kind of hard to get the point across, but it felt very lazy, even though other voiceovers in the film weren't nearly as jarring. We kind of know who Cecil is by the time he gets tapped for the Butler position, at least as much as any of the other black butlers. In summary: The Butler is a story about a conservative black man struggling with his fears of the past and experiencing the tumultuous change that occurred in our nation 50 years ago. 8/10
