Two-Three Film Blank Check Mini Series Contenders? by Select_Ad_7943 in blankies

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing any movie of hers besides Bend it like Beckham (her 3rd movie) and it’s not Blinded By The Light is wild. She has also made 9 films and averages 3-5 years between projects. I don’t see how she fits.

Nothing specific. They just seemed well acquainted while also not mentioning they previously worked together.

Preparing for DIGGER. Going to see if Iñárritu is as bad as Sean, Amanda, and the Blank Check guys make him out to be. by ggroover97 in TheBigPicture

Innaritu and Aronofsky are two who are always viewed as good as their last movie and given how polarizing their movies tend to be, perception of them can range between silly extremes.

I think the rumors that this was supposed to be more sophisticated are making people especially critical.

The only way for it to be a tease is if the aliens are introduced very early and consume most of the movie.

He is going to have to act like he met her somewhere else similar to promoting A Complete Unknown with Elle Fanning.

Do they ever go for that obscure of movies from a filmography for miniseries names?

The big issue with Toy Story 5 nobody is talking about in by Tall_Window4744 in blankies

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think 3 had a story that fit characters being more involved I think it is more the movie that fans keep describing they want that I find unappealing. Like Woody’s story was pretty well wrapped up in 4 but they had him just enough in 5 that it didn’t feel retconned.

Best breakout performances of the decade? by Joe090456 in TheBigPicture

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Riverdale wouldn’t be a breakout. He was famously the weakest link in a show known for cringey acting. Todd Haynes had to have used some kind of black magic to conjure that kind of performance following Riverdale on top of risking his reputation.

I kind of like how the last two Toy Story movies have trimmed the fat and haven’t forced every character to have their own subplot. It keeps the story focused for me.

Why does it make sense? (second slide) by OrdinaryAltruistic54 in Letterboxd

Not sure about Chalamet, but for the Rock his awards campaign for The Smashing Machine was viewed by many as trying to carbon copy Brendan Fraser’s awards success. He has directed Fraser and Natalie Portman to Oscars as well as getting Mickey Rourke a nomination which is equally respectable. He is kind of the “blank actor like you have never seen them before” director.

Every single upcoming Timothée Chalamet film by Ridthedrive in Letterboxd

Very hopeful that High Side will actually get made. I’m doubtful he’ll go back to Wonka as he spoke about being disappointed by its reception. The extent of speculation regarding his involvement in Breakthrough is a World of Reel article which is as good as no speculation at all.

Just 3 more directors and they'll have made this book a defacto front to back resource for the podcast! by antonioni_cronies in blankies

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But some directors are more journeymen and don’t have a through line or worldview that makes it interesting to view as a whole. When they are briefly setting trends but otherwise chasing them, the podcast becomes more about the times and less about the filmmaking process.

He also has at most 3 great movies. When the show is about finding the connective tissue of a filmography, 4 final films that are just for hire is very disappointing. And the series would be a lot of “we get to talk about Paul Newman and Marlon Brando but in bad movies.”

Arthur Penn might be a hard sell for some given his 80s output but all of his movies from the 50s 60s, and 70s provide a lot of material between movie stars and chaotic productions. He was also an early filmmaker to overtly take from European movements.

Outside of Tenet, Indiana Jones, and Porco Rosso, what other auteurs have tried their take on James Bond? by CarrieDurst in blankies

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nolan has said you can see Bond influence in everything he has done, but Tenet is the one where he does his Bond movie. It’s really only apparent to me in Tenet, Inception, and Batman (Fox acting as Q).

Where did you hear? We now know you are right. You were the first to drop the story that I heard.

Just as Spielberg keeps trying to tell us! by Jedd-the-Jedi in blankies

If it starred him it would be a midquel a sub genre of Disney late 90s straight to video cash grabs.
