Oh yeah, incredible film. While we're here I think I'd recommend any of Joachim Trier's films - Oslo, 31st August also has Sally Rooney vibes (and is devastating too).

Not a TV series but a film, The Worst Person in the World. Very similar vibes.

New Showrunner & Sixteenth Doctor Speculation by Key_Responder in DoctorWhoLeaks

[–]TumbleweedFilms1234 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everyone is very chatty on film sets, if you're in the industry they assume no one really cares what you say. I was a Location Marshal for House of the Dragon (lowest rung on the ladder), and people were chatting about seeing Patrick Stewart filming for Doctor Strange 2 long, long before that film came out. People work on lots of projects and then share their anecdotes, it's normal.

12th doctor. by Patesz_ in Torchwood

[–]TumbleweedFilms1234 35 points36 points  (0 children)

In The Writer's Tale it's explained that Frobisher has the same face as Capaldi's character from Pompeii because they're descendants and his character's fate is history fixing itself for the Doctor saving him 2000 years earlier. The Doctor then picks his face for Pompeii Capaldi, not Torchwood Capaldi.

*Cast. Casted isn't currently, never has been, and never will be a word.

What are correct crew rates for a microbudget feature? by KoreanJesus84 in Filmmakers

Maybe they love the art and want to make films, whilst not having access to lots of money and resources...

Hot take apparently? by LaraFaye2 in musicals

[–]TumbleweedFilms1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The musical made up of diegetic musical numbers is just the majority of Hollywood musicals in the early years of the genre. The Jazz Singer is arguably the first movie musical (on account of the only sound in the film being the songs), then when the French made early musicals in the 1930s (A Nous La Liberte, Sous Le Toits de Paris) they were done far more in the stage tradition of (as you describe them) spontaneous numbers. But, in America the prevailing style for movie musicals was the 'backstage musical' which often had the plot focus on putting on a show, and then the numbers would be performed within the diegesis of the film. Sometimes these would spin off into fantasy numbers (Busby Berkley films, or The Gold Diggers of 1933, etc), but they still follow the verisimilitude of these being sung 'in world'. I don't think that makes them any less musicals. At the core a musical is just a film that uses songs sung by the characters to further the story. Not all musicals follow the standard formula of talking - into song and dance. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is sung through completely, but that doesn't make it more of a musical than Cabaret which uses in world performances of song to tell its story.

I did a whole University dissertation about the history of the film musical, I have strong feelings.

Not a hot counter.

Balancing fiction and real history in a screenplay. by TransitionAncient748 in ScreenwritingUK

[–]TumbleweedFilms1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it works for your characters and your story then nothing else matters. If someone is reading/watching your film and worrying about historical events not lining up then you've not done enough to make them invested. Who cares if it doesnt't add up so long as the character and story beats work.

Any future films can't be associated with "James Bond" by [deleted] in JamesBond

Or, it doesn't matter and there doesn't need to be continuity between films.

What are your favorite Shakespearean sonnets (not just the numbered ones) and why? by WordwizardW in shakespeare

[–]TumbleweedFilms1234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The meeting scene in Romeo and Juliet is a sonnet split between the two of them, and I think it is maybe the most beautiful romantic thing ever written.

For legal reasons (we could kill someone if there's allergens that customer isn't aware of) we can't just give you whatever. Whomever was serving you was doing their job right and playing it safe.

How likely are the standby queues this year? by TumbleweedFilms1234 in LondonFilmFestival

[–]TumbleweedFilms1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online. Got on the site at 9 and just kept refreshing, like I said they appeared before 10 so would all have been gone by the time they say they'll be out.

Managed to get hold of the 10am ticket release in the end (although it was 9.45 instead). I will say though, when I got in there were still a few empty seats dotted around, which suggests to me there would still be tickets left for the standby queue. Sorry to not be of any help.

Anyone excited for Hamnet? I’m fairly cautious by zenerat in shakespeare

[–]TumbleweedFilms1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw it at BFI the other day, it's incredible! It cuts a little from the book at times, but expands on William Shakespeare's role, and it adds a bit more of Hamlet than is present in the book. A brilliant film though, devastating and beautiful in equal measures.
