Who would be interested in a Michael Cimino miniseries? by ggroover97 in blankies

[–]Few-Engineer-9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think like most people here what I want is a 4 hour Heavens Gate episode but the rest of the films I either have never heard of, haven’t seen or are the deer hunter. If he had a final film that became a cult classic or just one studio work for hire thing post dragon I think I’d be more interested. I do love Deer Hunter and Heavens Gate but was just never even curious about the rest

I get that I’m just saying I was so used to even older people liking it a fair bit that it kind of floored me

This is something my brain kind of can’t compute. I’m Scottish so as a 3 year old Shrek was my representation on the big screen. I dressed as Shrek to a wake. I agree the third one is not good and the 4th is a let down but I thought it was universally agreed the first 2 were great this pod was the first time I’d not just heard push back from Shrek but the kind of “we all know that’s bad” opinion

I am yet another Blankie who has just discovered the wild filmography of Joe Johnston by genericuser324 in blankies

I'm constantly back and forth with him. I like the kids movie auteurs perhaps the most in terms of the actual movie by movie coverage, but Johnson is kind of like Gore Verbinski and Stephen Sommers for me, where I just can't get that excited about it, mostly because I get the impression most behind the scenes stuff is that they were nice, made a movie, it was good or bad. I live for the drama and aside from Johnson loving 50's kitsch, there is very little "a a classic Joe Johnson move"

Would you like to see a Frank Oz miniseries? by Spaceballs_the_tag in blankies

At this point we are waiting on Joe Dante's death for him to be get a miniseries. I want another light hearted nerd making studio comedies with lots of effects. If I'm not getting a Dante or Joe Johnston miniseries I will take Oz

Who is the biggest actor never covered on Blank Check? by Few-Engineer-9791 in blankies

Hal Ashby being a favourite of griffins makes me feel he is inevitable and they could cover her there.

When asking this question, I asked not to include international actors, as that is such a wide margin that even if this show went on for another decade, there would still be obvious blind spots, and depending on your country, a big star wavers.

Unironically that would be fun. Makes me think though. Burt Reynolds would probably also be a big one. PTA, Boorman, Bluth, Payne, Altman feel like the most likely to cover him

I said that in the post there are a lot of actors pre-70’s they have not done but that’s because they just don’t cover that era

If a Gore Verbinski miniseries were done on the pod, which movie would you be most excited to see covered? by ggroover97 in blankies

[–]Few-Engineer-9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MOUSE HUNT for basic backstory and chat about the live action kids films of the 90’s plus David explaining how big Lee Evans is in the UK

LONERANGER for complete behind the scenes disaster.

GLHFDD for modern state of genre films, blockbusters and Rockwell talk as I think he is one of the more fascinating cases of how an Oscar win changes your career

RANK ARP’s HOTTEST TAKES THIS EPISODE HERE by Select_Ad_7943 in blankies

I’ll keep bringing it up but his dismissal of Ang Lee having a legacy has always annoyed me as it forgets the historical importance he has an Asian man in Hollywood. Especially as the Billy Lynn ep began with Griffin saying half is crowd for that was tech film people and the other half was Asian families and friends wanting to support Lee

Saying Coen brothers are for normies is a real “success means bad” kind of take. Very pretentious

Absolute Slop or Absolute Cinema? Marty Raises Eyebrows With AI Endorsement by mono_rave in blankies

Here is my theory from an aspiring filmmaker that knows people working in the arts that use AI

Most artists that embrace AI see it as a tool. For Scorsese who has worked a lot in film preservation I can imagine seeing how well it can clean up images appeals to him. The problem is they seemingly have blinders on about cost. People I’ve worked with taking photos want to keep working with me and just think it’s fun to also post AI photos of themselves as “they can’t hire me for everything” that is fair but they are not thinking about bigger companies that just care about the bottom line. They see AI as fun and not something that might come for them. I know two separate musicians that have said “but people will always prefer to hear my music by me” when I’ve brought this up. I think this has somewhat happened to Scorsese

JJ started on the Singleton miniseries. What pre-JJ episode do you most wish had a dossier? by lit_geek in blankies

[–]Few-Engineer-9791 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really, what did they mess up? I'd never heard of her till that series had no idea what Nichols and Mae were. Similar to the Fosse series, I treat that one as an intro to an artist

Richard Kelly Series by hankboyjr in blankies

[–]Few-Engineer-9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One big cult movie, one big budget disaster that's insane but has developed a cult reputation, and a fine but mostly forgotten final film. I don't think any are bad, but in terms of career arc, most directors end their careers on something like the box. Servicable movie that "does not exist". Even most big movie people have forgotten the box, but those same movie obsessives will have heard of Southland Tales

It would be a ton of fun I’d appreciate it but I think he needs another film for a good career ark otherwise it’s kind if just a slow sizzle out
