Neo Rasa posted:Given what very little experience I have with how movie theaters are maintained fuuuuuuuck no  My first job was in a theater. There was a week where we had a sensor on the roof by some vent that set the fire alarm off several times a day, that was fun, kinda reminded me of the end of Alien when Ripley is preparing the ship for self destruction. There was also some kind of vent in the room behind the concession stand, and one day the grille fell off, never to be seen again. That fucker had a ton of suction, and we spent a lot of time throwing things at it to see if it would suck it in. The answer was always yes, we did contemplate throwing the smallest employee at it often. No one knows where that vortex went to, but it sure pissed the GM off.

Ahahaha yesssss  The best was when Broad Street Cinema in Red Bank NJ still existed, the oil for their popcorn, it was just in drawer. Like a wooden set of drawers you would put clothing in in your bedroom. That type of drawers. One of the draws just filled to the brim with oil you would pull it out and close it, sloshing oil everywhere whenever it was needed. It's the second Nitehawk Cinema location in Brooklyn now, but when it was the Pavillion, wooooo lmao. So like this was a pretty cool theater built in the 20s, but it was left in such disrepair that like there'd be like crap from above ceiling tiles falling on you as you watched a movie. In some screens you could literally see daylight/get rained on while seated. Just like, movietheater.txt every day Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Oct 15, 2020 |

Speaking of commercials, I've started seeing ads for Tenet in theatres on Youtube. Which isn't strange in and of itself, but I'm surprised they bothered to record voice lines for specific cities; this ad was like, "SEATTLE, the wait is over." The wait will be longer if y'all don't quit with this nonsense.

Well, I'll give them some credit. Not too many companies would sign off on an ad showing someone assault a person with their product.

Not in the sense that it's a mystery, it's just an interesting, ongoing process. There isn't a clear demarcation between 'he has a career' and 'he does not' he continues to get good roles in good movies here and there, and then makes 8 lovely movies the next year opposite 50 cent or something.

I know nowadays any movie he’s in, he’ll only be in shots where you need his face, anything else is body doubles. But was he a dick on, like Die Hard? The Sixth Sense? Unbreakable? I legit don’t know.

Here's a brief summation from http://moviemezzanine.com/kevin-smith-a-conversation/2/ I've heard Kevin Smith bring this up a few different times on various podcasts and he always comes across as the rear end in a top hatquote:There’s a story Smith tells on one of those DVDs where he talks for four hours—I kid, he’s a funny motherfucker who can spin a yarn—but this particular tale sent me through the roof. He’s talking about day on Cop Out when he was explaining the setup of a shot to Willis, who quite reasonably asked his director which millimeter lens was on the camera, so he could modulate his performance accordingly. Smith had no idea what lens he was using, and Willis blew up on him in front of everybody on the set. tbf Bruce Willis is also undeniably an rear end in a top hat, but Smith deserved that one

But was he a dick on, like Die Hard? The Sixth Sense? Unbreakable? I legit don’t know. Speaking of that, I was watching a video about that Seagal movie where he "fights" Mike Tyson (fight is in quotes because it was Tyson vs Seagal body double and vice versa) and they pointed out how in one shot you could actually see Seagal's body double, wearing the exact same outfit as him, just hanging out in the background.

I mean, does the director really and truly need to know what lens is being used at all times, or should he be trusting his DP and cinematographer to choose the tools to achieve the look he (however lazily) wants? Not every director needs to have obsessive control over every aspect of a shoot, I think

Not every director needs to have obsessive control over every aspect of a shoot, I think Kind of. Maybe you don’t need to know the MM but at least be able to know if it’s going to be a wide lens or a close lens. Because that does kind of matter. The closer the shot, the more the actor needs to emote. Be kinda dumb if they gave the performance of their career and it’s all down from a wide.

CelticPredator posted:Kind of. I, admittedly, have only ever heard the story paraphrased, and never heard it directly, but I was under the impression that he specifically was incensed about not knowing the actual mm length of the lens. I'm pretty confident Smith would've at least known if it was a long or medium lens, as he knew how he wanted it framed and could see where the camera was setting up. I may be wrong and don't feel it extremely necessary to go to bat for Kevin Smith any further.

It could’ve been that too. Idk. I wasn’t there. It’s also possible smith just hands over all visual duties to his DP and just focuses on the actors.

But was he a dick on, like Die Hard? The Sixth Sense? Unbreakable? I legit don’t know. From what I heard, he started to become an rear end in a top hat after Die Hard made it big while he was still on Moonlighting. He immediately started thinking the show was beneath him and treated Cybill Shepherd like crap for her "laziness" Enos Cabell posted:Here's a brief summation from http://moviemezzanine.com/kevin-smith-a-conversation/2/ I've heard Kevin Smith bring this up a few different times on various podcasts and he always comes across as the rear end in a top hat Yeah, I love that story because Smith accuses Willis of being an rear end in a top hat diva while Willis accuses Smith of being an incompetent lazy stoner. Usually you'd doubt both of them but in this case, both are 100% right.
