Then go do it man. You wanna diss this and complain that you wanted to make your own but aren't willing to? Put your money down and go make something for yourself. It ain't easy. Especially a fan-film, lot of people you need to please, and in the end you probably won't please most of them.

Did you really just use "well you haven't made a fan-film so you can't talk poo poo about mine!" as a defense?

I like this because it's funny and is short. Like short films should be.

Though I think it might count more as a parody than a fan film.

And along those lines, I really like David Mamet's Godzilla:

Shooting and Fucking
are the same thing!

My main problem with the film is how inconsistent the sound is. In some scenes the dialogue is barely audible and in other scenes it's decently mixed. Sometimes there's even a huge difference within a scene with one character being pretty clear and the other being way too low.

The period is slightly wrong for the feel of the short, but that Truth in Journalism film is great because it says and does something beyond just featuring comic book characters. It is a film. I loved it.

Check out Man Bites Dog, since Truth in Journalism bites it real drat hard. Which is not as much of a slam on Truth in Journalism as it sounds like, since if you're going to steal from something when making your black comedy crime mockumentary, you should absolutely steal from Man Bites Dog

Nope. He followed up The Curse, Shirome, Occult and The Cult with Chō Akunin (about a serial rapist getting sending taunting videos of his exploits to a magazine) and Bachiatari Bōryoku Ningen, which from every description seems like a take on Man Bites Dog.

I really want to thank this thread for introducing me to Truth in Journalism, "Ingmar Berman's" Flash, David Mamet's Godzilla, and Canzo Empyrean. Thank you. :)

Also this Nightwing flick is pretty bad, though honestly it's not even close to the worst of the worst Batman fan films. I think my biggest issues with it are still what they were with the teaser, stuff is too dark/weirdly lit which obscures the actually well done fighting, and Harley Quinn is wearing the official Harley Quinn t-shirt they released when Injustice: Gods Among Us was coming out.

What was the name of the Batman fan film where some guy takes down Batman by kicking him in the groin once and then he chains him up, rapes him, and gets him addicted to heroin which makes Batman kill himself?

For all those times you ever see people having the, "How do you take down Superman once and for all?/You get him to piss off Batman!" debates, I want to see the response to this.

Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy is not just the only good fan-film, but insanely good.

Coincidentally I've decided to start watching through some MGS fanfilms, and I was quite impressed with some of the shots in Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy.




^POV shot from a soldier Snake has just killed. Looks even more effective in motion.




^I just thought this one was pretty.

The second half of the movie was weaker visually, though I appreciate the effort.




Far more enjoyable film than I expected to be honest. I really would have loved to see what the filmmakers could have done with a budget higher than $15,000, thought this does have its own charm as a result.

EDIT: Just watched Truth in Journalism and holy shitballs, that is how you make a fan movie. It's worth mentioning that the guy who "presented" it is the guy who produced Dredd.

See, there is something charming about this that the Nightwing film doesn't have. It's cheesy, campy, terribly shot, horrible costumes, bad acting, and a Wolverine whose bones are laced with twinkies. But it has this feel of a bunch of school kids getting together on a weekend and doing a larp. It's like the epitome of a fan movie. The Nightwing film is so turgid and self serious compared to this and the performances are not even much better.

Reading on this more, it seems the only way to get the full movie is to send the film's creator, Justin Fornal, pictures of 20 objects that you have tagged with the film's logo (including a police car).

This is awesome and you can tell everyone had a blast making it. Also it has snippets of radness, the part where one of them is trying to beat on Mr. Sinister and he says "That isn't working." and then knees him in the gut. It's cut perfectly, like if you gave some of them more time and $$$ they could make the real deal. I think that's part of why this is so much more fun and enjoyable than a lot of the fan films I've seen though, they're not trying to be something they can't feasibly be.

This one will always be my favorite because of the absolutely unreal line delivery between Commissioner Gordon and Bruce Wayne at the start, as well as the low-rent Two-Face origin. Also the hubris of trying to be the real sequel to Batman Begins.

I mean it has a level of technical competence that lets it sit comfortably above Nightwing, the Darkest Knight or whatever, but it's still pretty garbage and I was always a little puzzled about whether there was anything beyond a generalized hunger for retro ultraviolence driving its popularity
