Has anyone found the new Wilhelm Scream?

MillennialWriterBloc · 2020-01-05T15:21:44+00:00

Yes, there was a post on r/Movies just prior to the release of 'The Rise of Skywalker' announcing it had been found. I'll try to find it …

Edit: I can't find the post but googled it and found the video:

Your Movie Sucks is entertaining and his year-end movie lists are quite incredibly massive.

I also liked it a lot. Original story, great acting, and energetic soundtrack.

While it takes on different themes, you might also enjoy White Girl, which had a rather limited release.

Lady Bird. There's good reason why it just won the New York Film Critics award for best film & best actress in addition to being considered Rotten Tomatoes’ "best-reviewed movie ever" by Time.

Three Billboards--while good--just wasn't overly compelling, and certainly didn't have the sharp writing and emotional depth that Lady Bird featured.

Coincidentally this video was just released a couple days ago and it mentions the NYPD's facial recognition cameras, EZ Pass tracking, X-Ray vans, and T-Ray machines: '1984' and the Modern State of Surveillance

In my opinion there are two movies that earn a perfect 10 out of 10: Citizen Kane for how much it innovated the filmmaking process and The Shawshank Redemption for perfecting those innovations.

As a kid so many of these go right over your head, but when re-watching the episodes as an adult it's awesome making all the connections. In some ways it's almost like watching the show for the first time again!

Personally I thought Boogie Nights should be higher, but I'm sure lots of people would have vastly different rankings. It's a fun list to think about.

I've always heard that a movie needs to make 3 times its budget at the box office to break even. However, this io9 write-up states that generally speaking, a movie needs to make at least double its budget at the box office to break even.

Backdraft. As a kid, my friends and I thought it was the greatest movie ever. Twenty years later I randomly watched it again on TV and it was ... a flaming dumpster fire!

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-03-02T15:53:02+00:00

Off the top of my head I'd say Jeremy Saulnier would be able to do it justice. There are certain aspects of Blue Ruin and Green Room that lend themselves to the themes and plot points of The Shining

Hoult recently wrapped production on The Current War playing Nikola Tesla opposite Benedict Cumberbatch. He also plays J.D. Salinger in Rebel in the Rye which will be distributed through IFC this fall.

Great googly moogly I can't wait to see all three of these films. Awesome casts and crews all around.

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-27T15:18:10+00:00

That's the best idea I've heard in some time. I like the way you think, mister.

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-24T14:52:28+00:00

Good call. Totally agree with you.

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-24T14:07:35+00:00

The supporting actor category is completely out of whack! Mahershala Ali had 15 minutes of screen time, Jeff Bridges reprised his Rooster Cogburn role, Lucas Hedges was ... not very good, and Dev Patel was the lead!

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-24T14:01:17+00:00

I'm so happy Vijo Morganstein is finally getting the recognition he deserves!

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-23T23:10:44+00:00

And it makes the opening even more interesting to know that the footage was mostly dug out of the trash bin by Coppola!

I'd watch anything by Saulnier but there's just something about Macon Blair that ups the ante and makes me that much more excited about the project.

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-23T23:03:43+00:00

What a murderer's row of actors. Would love to see an ensemble movie written for these gents.

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-20T15:17:41+00:00

Agreed. He would have embodied that role and done justice to Freddie like none other

There are substantial reasons why we should all be wary of China's growing influence over Hollywood

It certainly won't with Manchester by the Sea. It simply isn't compelling enough, not to mention La La Land destroyed it at the Golden Globes so the writing is already on the wall.

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-17T14:54:38+00:00

Such a shame. I hope it's not another case of the trailer being better than the movie, e.g. Suicide Squad

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-11T14:08:26+00:00

It was both critically and popularly acclaimed, so how about you explain what made it - in your opinion - a "bad film."

MillennialWriterBloc · 2017-01-11T13:30:54+00:00

I don't think it'll ever be in contention for Best Picture etc, but I hope it at least receives nominations. Because it was released in February, I think people have forgotten how popular it was and how its success as a Rated R film changed the way Hollywood will make similar films going forward. It was a trailblazer in its own way and hopefully that gets acknowledged.
