How do I get my hands on a screenplay? I really really want to see how Stephen Susco actually constructed Unfriended: Dark Web but he isn't on twitter so I have no idea how to actually be like, "hey loved your movie, can I get the screenplay?"

A quick Google makes it seem like it's not available online easily, but if you're anywhere near LA then the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library has it in their collection. Not sure what the process is like to read a screenplay there, though. That or walk past one of those sketchy dudes with a table full of screenplays on the sidewalk in NYC or LA and ask them. e: or look for  where a lot of screenplays are available, including unproduced and upcoming ones.

Kinda sorta related: When Lynch and Frost were making Twin Peaks some network suit said that the town was too small to be relatable so they said "ok" and just added one (1) number to the population listed on the sign in the opening credits changing it from 5120 to 51.201 and changing literally nothing else. Even then even 5120 feels a bit too large for the town as depicted in the first two seasons. I could buy the Twin Peaks of The Return having 51 thousand people in it but the original series feels more like it houses at most 2000 people.

I come from a town of 8,000 people and while Twin Peaks felt a bit smaller, it's not by that much. So 5,000 seems about right to me.

SimonCat posted:So, the movie Orca came out in 1977 and was a rip off of Jaws. To show how dangerous the Orca is, the movie opens with an Orca killing a great white shark. Jaws 2 came out in 1978 and features a dead Orca that was killed by the film's great white shark. In Torque the opening scene is a dig at The Fast & The Furious, where a guy on a crotch rocket blows past a couple of tuner cars, and then the street signs swirl around and say "gently caress Cars" or something like that. In XXX the opening scene is Not James Bond who flees into a Rammstein concert and gets owned by a sniper because he's a total stiff who can't blend in with the rest of the concert goers.

I haven't seen the film so I have no idea how legitimate it is, but typing "unfriended dark web script" into Google seems to work.

IMDb posted:There's a ripped poster of The Hills Have Eyes (1977) visible. Ostensibly, this was in reference to a ripped poster for Jaws (1975) that appeared in that film; Sam Raimi and the others interpreted that as Wes Craven suggesting that "Hills" was much more frightening than "Jaws," thus they showed a ripped "Hills" poster because their film was to be even scarier yet. See also: The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1984), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Wes Craven responded with putting a scene from Evil Dead on a TV in the first Nightmare. Evil Dead 2 has Freddy's glove hanging up in the work shed. I think those interactions were more light-hearted than some of these, though.

M. Night Shyamalan infamously puts in a character who is a pompous film critic in Lady in the Water who he then murders off. It's not really the most subtle thing. I really need to get drunk and watch that dumpster fire again.

In the film "Laserblast", the protagonist blows up a billboard with the words "Star Wars" on it. Not an ad for the film. Just a sign with the words. As boasts go, it kinda made me sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwTPExzfQbE BrewingTea fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Jan 9, 2020 |

I remember Ebert blasting the first American Godzilla because there were Siskel and Ebert stand-ins and Emmerich didn't even have the decency to have them get killed by Godzilla.

Hey, Leonard Maltin gave it two and a half stars. I love Laserblast, even without the MST3K treatment. I don't think I can quite articulate why, but something about that movie just does it right for me. I like the idea of the movie, but it needed a fair bit of polish, but somehow, it just clicks for me on some level. It's a weird sort of dopey charm.

What’s the first horror movie where you think the bad guy’s dead and he’s not. Alien was 1979, Halloween was 1978. Any earlier examples?

He hasn't done anything good for a really long time. Not that Triple Threat being mediocre can be blamed on him, but.....it was extremely disappointing.

feedmyleg posted:The T2 laser-future is unquestionably rad in that film, but it's a product of its time—it's how 1991 imagined the future to be in all its stylistic excess. Had Salvation gone for that look in '09 it would have come across like a cartoon, so I totally understand why McG and the gang went for a more grounded, grey, bleak version of the future even if it wasn't as "cool." His version feels far more like a real-world war-torn environment, the sort that Americans had been seeing on the news in the Middle East since T2 came out. That being said, it almost entirely lacked in style and ended up being incredibly bland. Gotta say, I though the production design in Salvation was pretty cool. Like the way the motorcycle Terminators evoke a humanoid rider merged into the machine:
