Farbtoner posted:I don't know if it's the same way for everyone else in the rest of the world, but in America we have a somewhat unique way of advertising foreign films: we completely obscure the fact that the film is in another language since people have a weird aversion to subtitles. It's kind of interesting from a production standpoint to see how they edit it (Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Micmacs looks way more goofy because the trailer is just all the non-vocal slapstick and weird side characters, Pan's Labyrinth used two minutes of effects shots that made it look like it was a pure fantasy movie and not a historical drama with a few fantasy sequences) Here's another great example of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkqKTtcp-WY

Vagabundo posted:The scripts he writes suck poo poo and the work for hire movie he did sucked even more poo poo, more than Lady in the Water. You're confused. Every movie M. Night's directed was also written by him. He's a good director, but I checked out around the time of Lady in the Water. I think he actually needs to do something work-for-hire: he could make a pretty good comeback by directing a lean, mean thriller from *somebody else's* script (and by NOT PUTTING HIS NAME ON THE POSTER/TRAILER) emgeejay fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Jun 13, 2012 |

TetsuoTW posted:I'm guessing you never tried to watch The Last Airbender. A bad director couldn't have made The Sixth Sense or Signs*. But a good director can easily make something lovely, especially if he's also the screenwriter and the script is garbage. *Yes I know 50% of you are about to disagree with me

muscles like this? posted:I can't find it online but at the movies today I saw a trailer for Ben Stiller's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which was pretty cool. They've been trying to remake Mitty for literally twenty years. The idea of there being a trailer out is surreal.

soapgish posted:Lack of variety, I think. Flipping around and catching 20-22 minutes of antics always seemed the perfect format and dosage, so the promise of over 4x as much without any deviation or breaks in the mayhem was off-putting, and nothing I saw ever told me they did anything special with bigger budgets and less restrictions. The first Jackass movie, which I think is the best one, definitely makes good use of the longer format: as the movie goes on, the gags start to call back to stunts we saw earlier in the movie, and the guys build up a stock of costumes, props, injuries and patches of missing hair more or less chronologically. It becomes a strangely immersive documentary in long form. If a bit doesn't land (or it's just too much to handle -- I still can't watch the paper cut scene), it doesn't really matter because there's another one coming up in a minute. (Shades of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker.) Then it ends with a hilariously protracted stunt that would be nearly the length of a full episode on TV. I'm honestly no big fan of the sequel or Jackass 3D, but the first one is perfect in its own gross, stupid, low-fi way, and it's one of only a few movies* that have made me feel like I physically hurt myself laughing. *Others: Pineapple Express, Brüno, This is the End emgeejay fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Aug 2, 2013 |

LesterGroans posted:Hell, Jackass 3D was inferior to 2, but the giant hand and the dildo gun over tiny city-models were two of the funniest things I've seen in a movie ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEcpJLRqZ-g Nobody could have ever delivered this line quite like Johnny Knoxville does: quote:Aaron's walking in, and we're gonna have him bring in a whole tray full of soup.

DivisionPost posted:Some trailers amplify your already sizable appetite for a movie. Others catch you off guard by letting you know a filmmaker or star you like has something new coming out that you didn't previously know about. What an odd trailer. Three quarters of it is "My god, look how epic / exhilarating / intense / captivating these images are," and then the last quarter is "a personalized profile of a boy-on-the-brink."

Steve Yun posted:What's odd then, are the few widescreen shots in the trailer: These are cinemascope... And then this one is 16x9. Perhaps they will crop these for the final film. Nah, the movie's in three different aspect ratios. What's throwing me is that a lot of these 4:3 shots look like actual pan-and-scan. Look at the broadcast tower at the edge of the frame in this cap; what's going on there?

Dillbag posted:It's always weird to see my hometown in films. Horns, Walking Tall, Insomnia, The Adventures of Natty Gann... Between the prominence of the shoot and the single-screen movie theatre, I've always thought that town must be the place where the absolute largest percentage of the population has seen Insomnia.

BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:It's weird how bad the fourth Fast movie is (Fast & Furious) sandwiched between all of Lin's other takes on the series. Tokyo Drift, and 5&6 are just a lot more fun tonally and have pretty good cinematography, while 4, despite bringing some of the cast back, is very dull and dour with a lot of REALLY bad CGI. F&F spends too much time getting the old cast together again. Then its big action setpiece is a drive through a tight, dark, narrow corridor. It doesn't fit the strengths of the series at all, and it's about as cinematic as a colonoscopy, and also it looks like a colonoscopy

Hollismason posted:Jake Gyllenhal follows Nightcrawler with... Accidental Love?! This is a movie David O. Russell nearly finished shooting years ago. Then production completely disbanded after months of Russell getting dicked around by producers. The pivotal scene was left unfilmed. Who knows how they cobbled it together into a releasable form.
