Remember flash mobs? Could a flash mob create a fake earth quake by all shaking their phone a tiny lil bit across an area?

Unless they were incredibly coordinated in their movements to mimic an earthquake I think it's more likely the phones would misinterpret it and alert us to stay away from (or hurry to join) a mass wanking event.

It really bugs me when films use an obvious backlot and don’t dress it up enough or shoot it from the right angles to hide it. It’s a good opportunity to use some CG set extension instead of letting it just look like a bunch of empty facades. I like Flanagan but his visual sense is lacking sometimes. This shot of Hiddleston dancing is framed badly and highlights the ugly backlot set too much.

Flanagan's never struck me as being particularly interested in visual storytelling. Nothing he makes looks atrocious but you can see why he's ended up mostly doing TV. Edit: Doctor Sleep wasn't bad but I'm looking back over the trailer now and it's still very digital looking. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Apr 15, 2025 |

Le Saboteur posted:I'm pretty sure thats just downtown Mobile, Alabama I'm a nerd and decided to track it down. Looks like I see a sign with "Bohemian" behind him in that screenshot. Hopping on Google Maps, looks like it's this brand-new shopping/entertainment area down in Foley. (Last time I was passing through Foley was about 5 or so years ago when the amusement park was just starting up.) There's no good 3D Google Maps data of the area, but it certainly looks like it would fit the geometry of that scene from what we've seen.

Alright well I’m going to say I’m half right since that looks like a fake town square built next to an amusement park which is essentially the same as a backlot aside from it being a real place you can shop I guess. Why the gently caress would you film there, and then make it look doubly bad by shooting it in such a drab boring way? E: the horizon is in the middle for Christs sake, didn’t Flanagan watch The Fabelmans? Colonel Whitey fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Apr 15, 2025 |

The plot summary is "A life-affirming, genre-bending story based on Stephen King's novella about three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz" and ordinary men go to lame shopping centers like that.

He's got this thing for profound soapboxing speeches that are meant to address the profound elements of human nature, and they've mostly just left me feeling kind of unmoved. Part of that is that he doesn't seem to like blocking monologues so the actors can walk around while speaking, but he really likes the bits where they speak and sit still and go on, uninterrupted, concerning their feelings in a sort of generic, wholesome vibe. Makes me suspect that Flanagan is the only person in the world who really likes watching auditions. There's a couple of more loopy, bugnuts speeches in House Of Usher that are far more entertaining -- the one his wife gives about identifying as a ceiling fan, and the one Carla Guigno gives about being a lab monkey -- and I think they work because they're aiming for alienating rather than relatable. Shageletic posted:It was a very brown movie I remember the stuff with Rebecca Ferguson looking alright. Nice scary night colours, not various shades of brown and chemical blue.

I might be an outlier, but I consider Midnight Mass my favorite "show" (I know, limited series) of all time, with The Leftovers following after. Maybe I just connect more with their themes on coming to terms with death/mortality. Just spoke to me.

I do admit I don't like the look, but I'm guessing it's so new that the shopping area was probably not super sparsely populated yet and that made it easier to use.
