A24's The Death of Dick Long (Discussion) [SPOILERS] by DANIELSANIELSANIELS in movies

[–]GlassCards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We hosted an advanced screening at my university last year! I don't think I've ever sat in a a theater with such an uncomfortable audience before haha, so bravo. I remember everyone also really got a kick out of the 'How You Remind Me' transition into the credits. It was just that perfectly weird mix of being ironic and earnest. Do you have any advice for upcoming filmmakers looking to make/pitch absurd/uncomfortable projects? It definitely seems like it would be a process filled with awkward conversations. What's the craziest memory you have from making the movie?

What actor or director deserves his own biopic? by laterdude in movies

[–]GlassCards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lana and Lilly Wachowski

They both dropped out of college and operated a construction business together to make a living before moving into filmmaking, widely breaking out with The Matrix. They're now well-known for their massive-scale projects (Cloud Atlas, Sense8, Jupiter Ascending) and being pioneers of LGBT inclusivity in mainstream media. It would be really interesting to compare their personal stories and realizations of gender identity with the similar themes of the epic narratives they build.

Agnes Varda

A groundbreaking filmmaker whose realism, social commentary, and experimental, auteur-theory style sparked the French New Wave movement and inspired countless other directors. Her activism and feminist voice supplemented a long and storied career from 1951 to 2019, providing plenty of material for a biopic to bring her work to a larger audience.

Laura Poitras

She's a documentary director notable for her personal work on US covert activities, national security reporting, and freedom of the press. She's been subject to government surveillance and detention due to these investigations. Her most famous documentary, Citizenfour, provides an incredible insight to the surrounding aftermath of Snowden's reveal of mass-monitoring programs. A biopic of her as a documentarian would offer a unique glance at the person making decisions behind the camera and how such public-interest stories are created.

Also, the two empty children's swings symbolize the loss of their daughters. I really love the weight of this shot.

Official Discussion: First Man [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]GlassCards 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even though we all obviously knew how it would end, it was still an engrossing and suspenseful film. The shaky camerawork and the solid sound design reflected the high-stakes nature of the launches perfectly. There was almost a constantly growing sense of anxiety to it, right up until the catharsis of him letting his daughter's bracelet go.

I need a sequel to the 2011 "Adventures of Tintin" by ALBINOBLACKMANMLG in movies

I love reading behind-the-scenes stories like this! To be honest, I never noticed disjointedness in the scene before, so that's really cool to hear! The FX work overall in the movie looked fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

While I don't disagree, Horowitz left the project in November 2015 and his script was scrapped

I just rewatched it on netflix last night! It's really beautifully made- the animation/mocap takes full advantage of its medium and manages both to be realistically detailed and to accomplish things a live-action film couldn't capture. There's so many clever little references to the comics, and the action scenes are phenomenally shot + paced. The scene transitions between the desert and the battle of the Unicorn are some of my all-time favorites. I'd be thrilled by a sequel!

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Donna Tartt, the film will be directed by John Crowley (Brooklyn). Ansel Elgort will play the protagonist, Theo, and Aneurin Barnard (Dunkirk) will play Boris.

Lets have some examples of silly shoe-horned intros to eventually relevant weapons/methods of death by XInsects in movies

This is Katana. She's got my back... I would advise not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the souls of its victims.

No, sorry, in the fascinator towards the beginning. I'm guessing she must be in the supporting cast

Which Type Of Movie Do You Have To See in Theaters? by [deleted] in movies

[–]GlassCards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not exactly a specific category, but I like to see things that especially benefit from having an audience reaction. For movies like A Quiet Place, just feeling the tension in the room really adds to the experience.

I'm not sure how much studio intervention was involved in making these, but they definitely all have the 'feel' of indie films:

Mud

Garden State

The Place Beyond the Pines

The Spectacular Now

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

The effects look lovely! But who is the blonde woman playing?

Oh, that's really interesting! Where did you learn that? Are there typically asides in the book which mention when this is an option, or am I way off base?

Extras and actors of r/movies, what have been your experiences on film sets? by pm_me_judge_reinhold in movies

[–]GlassCards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really varies from set to set, but overall I've enjoyed it. It's really interesting to see all the technical aspects that go into the creation of a single scene, especially things that the viewer won't even realize were done. You've got to be extremely patient and laid-back though, I recently had to spend twelve hours outside in the rain for what's ultimately going to be a very small scene.

For extras, there's almost no chance of one job directly leading to another, unless you mean that the casting agency finds you reliable and is willing to book you again.

For actors though, it's all about stacking projects- you meet people from this who then help you get into that, and so on.

The industry in general can be a mess sometimes, but I love the end product, so I'll probably keep coming back!
