CPL593H posted:There's a lengthy deleted scene from Goldfinger where he goes to IHOP. It's very dialog heavy and was a big inspiration on Quentin Tarantino. The opening scene from Inglorious Basterds borrows heavily from it. Particularly in how it's shot. The brief hold that Mike Myers had over Tarantino needs to be studied.

He was such a constant presence on social media that when I first saw the news it really didn’t register with me that he died. It felt alien. But with the massive response to his death, I get the feeling that we’ll never stop talking about him or sharing his art. David Lynch won’t fade away.

David Lynch filmed one of my favorite scenes from the Dune novel while Villeneuve cowardly changed it so he could get an Anya Taylor-Joy cameo.

CPL593H posted:About tenish years ago I decided to watch all Sean Connery Bond movies. What was immediately apparent was that Austin Powers barely parodies them. A lot of poo poo from those movies is just copy/pasted right into the Austin Powers movies. Particularly the first one. I recall hearing Myers saying they’re more inspired by the Flint movies with James Coburn. https://youtu.be/lQwJQkEh2QY?si=tvT0eL3L9ku6xXlV

The short of it is that David Cross plays a dipshit who gets tricked into a marketing/sales job for some obscure brand energy drink that turns out to be from North Korea and is probably a dangerous illegal substance. Anyway this reminds me of that. That was a great show.

I love catching little mistakes by the transcribers that give away something about themselves. Just today I noticed a vestigial u in the word “favorite” in an episode of Psych, suggesting the transcriber was not from America. A while back I watched an episode of Forensic Files, produced in the ‘90s, and at one point a facebook was mentioned. The word in the subtitles was incorrectly capitalized. I think whoever transcribed it was too young to know what the actual thing the company was named after was. Also amusingly were the auto generated closed captioning capitalizing “Among Us” in the middle of a sentence spoken by one of the anchors during the Queen’s funeral a few years ago.

Air Skwirl posted:Like, if you said The Killers were a band designed to sell t-shirts I would understand your point even if I disagreed, but complaining that a band wants to sell recordings of their music seems really weird to me. I’m not saying they record music for a broad market, I’m saying they made their music specifically for people at Target. Their aesthetic and sound is Target shoppers. I am not a crank.

Gaius Marius posted:drat, I'm sitting in the theatre watching trailers and there's absolutely nothing good coming out for ages. Goddamn. I kinda wanna watch the movie about the Anthony Hopkins car. Sinners looks solid. I think the trailer could have been a two minute loop of that shot of Michael B. Jordan walking towards the camera shooting a Tommy gun. I’ve seen that one Rami Malek CIA trailer enough times to think “fiiine, I’ll go, sheesh.” The trailers they played today for Novocaine were far more bearable than the trailers before The Day The Earth Blew Up. The Sneakers (no not that one) trailer looked like something MadTV would have done as a parody of Pixar movies.

I just finished reading The Ax. Absolutely loved it. Gonna have to look into other Donald Westlake novels. Park Chan-wook just got done filming an adaptation of it. I’m hoping it’ll get some play here. There’s a French adaptation from 2005. No legal means of streaming it though and there’s only one (probably fairly valued) copy of a region B dvd that might not even have English subtitles that I don’t wanna shell the $40 for. Dang.
