It wouldn't really have mattered if Spider-Man saved people from the World Trade Center. J. Jonah Jameson would still hate the guy.

Robert Denby posted:Die Hard goodness I wonder what people thought of the title "Die Hard" as well. It came out when I was a kid so I don't know a time when Die Hard didn't exist, but the title has always seemed ridiculous to me on its own. Like someone trying to do a parody of the most bad-rear end, 70/80s vigilante or cop flicks.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:The phrase "Die Hard" existed long before the film came out. I think it dates back at least a couple hundred years. It's an old phrase (I know it more from "old habits...") but in the context it seems silly. It doesn't seem any different than the row upon row of cheesy action movies you'd see in a rental store, or any of a million of the potboiler novels in a book store.

I haven't seen much beyond that Japanese trailer/commercial but I'm more interested in their take on futuristic cities right here on Earth than more Mars stuff. The levitating buildings are a cool idea.

frumpsnake posted:The reason you haven't heard of it is that it's a made-for-TV movie that was shot in 2 weeks solely to demonstrate to studio bosses that Salma Hayek could act in English and convince them to approve her casting in Desperado. Someone had to be convinced to put Salma Hayek in Desperado? Was her competition equally smoking hot or what?

Irish Taxi Driver posted:At the Seattle aquarium a couple years ago, fish started disappearing in their large tank. They figured it was the sharks doing it and set up a camera to record and double check. Octopus camouflage will always be amazing to watch. It's so perfect in both the detail and the transition speed. Incredibly creepy and beautiful at the same time.

kiimo posted:It never occurred to me that I would love a product placement. The least offensive (for lack of a better word) product placement is when the real company advertises using a fake or future product. The shoes in BttF 2 are a perfect example, or the cars in Minority Report, even if the latter were concept cars and not complete fantasy.

Well, The Office used to be a faux documentary but that angle was dropped long ago and now the cameras are so omnipresent it's more a taped comedy that allows 4th wall breaking.

Y'know, after Casa de mi Padre, which had no English, and The Artist, which had no words at all, I think audiences are ready for this avant-garde movie which will replace dialogue with texting. Is this also that film where audiences are supposed to send a text at the start to receive supplementary, inner monologue texts from the characterss?kiimo posted:I really want to know if the trailer for this has a voice over and the guy reading it has to say "LOL" at the end.

Macaluso posted:Ridiculous. If cartoons have taught me anything it's that if you get all the bugs to swarm in the shape of a larger bug or something they are unstoppable. Sure a few bees are easy enough, but thousands of bees in the shape of a giant bee or a punching fist?! Or millions of fire ants that rise up to form a human shape or monster! Think big Lobok... the insects did... We could make the movie last longer by having the insects form all kinds of fun shapes, but I meant the movie was over so quickly because the bugs won instantly. Dissapointed Owl posted:Let's see. Coriolanus. Shakespeare adaptation. I wonder how many people would recognize the movie as Shakespeare if they picked this up thinking it was a raucous action film. It's not one of his well-known plays and maybe with the cast, the viewer would just think it's some kind of British talk, like Cockney rhyming slang.

nitpick because it gets used on every single horror poster in the last 15/20 years, and I think this was the poster that made it popular:

Speleothing posted:That's a very good poster, distinctive, the actors aren't photoshopped, and it tells you what it's about. It's amazing what having the leads actually pose for posters at some point during production can do for you. The name of the movie is a bit obscured but the name of the movie may as well be Will Ferrell & Zach Galifianakis anyway.

My thought is that a poster+title should give some indication of whether or not your movie is even fictional or not, never mind the plot or genre. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a documentary on the history of flight with Washington narrating.

Robert Denby posted:Last week I saw a New York Times ad for "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" that used tweets instead of reviews. Frankly, I'm amazed this isn't something that's caught on, especially for movies dependent on word of mouth. The example to follow here isn't using tweet reviews but simply using the title of the itself. "Look at that, this movie is the 'best'!"
