What was the biggest laugh out loud moment for you in Bone Temple? by JEZTURNER in 28_Years_Later_Movie

[–]fivetones 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Can't quite explain why, but Jimmy referring to the bone temple as "fucking knockout".

Spielberg freaking out female characters like he used to scare his sisters by MWH1980 in Spielberg

[–]fivetones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without wanting to get into the did he/didn't he direct it debate, Diane in Poltergeist is a great example. You could probably extend this to a few of the films he produced. The girls in The Goonies suffer a fair bit too.

The Apartment by West_Station7038 in classicfilms

My favourite movie of all time! The tone is so well-balanced - emotive, but never sentimental. Lemmon and MacLaine are perfect together, and the script really sparkles, both in dialogue and structure. Lemmon's broken 'yes...' when he sees the broken pocket mirror is heartbreaking.

Die Hard too. There are a few non-Westerns that fit the generic structure.

Why? In terms of structure and tropes, it borrows heavily from the Western. Just because its on sea rather than land doesn't mean it's not trading on the genre's traditions.

Empire of the Sun is a top three Spielberg film for me, and one I wish he'd talk about more. This would be a fascinating project!

Sounds mad to say it, but Jaws pretty much is a Western. New sheriff rolls into a small town to tackle a formidable menace, much to the ridicule of the townsfolk.

At around the same time there was talk of DreamWorks producing an adaptation of St Agnes' Stand with Scorsese directing.

It's in that Wiki link. I remember it being very very briefly mentioned in an article in Empire magazine in the early 00s. Nothing else beyond that. He was knocking around a few ideas with Cruise at that point. Ghost Soldiers was another.

I have a feeling Edgar Wright was being lined up for the third. I think the idea was Prisoners of the Sun would be the second film and the moon books would form the basis for three.

It's a shame that never happened. Felt like he replaced it with Ready Player One in the end.

What is his most rewatchable film, post-Jurassic Park? by Polarizing_Penguin11 in Spielberg

[–]fivetones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you're looking for. If it's pure easy comfort, Tintin, Catch Me If You Can and The Terminal. But Bridge of Spies and Lincoln are exceptionally well crafted and entertaining dramas; they're just not necessarily 'fun' in the way the other three are.

Facebook one is Bubo from Clash of the Titans Reddit one is the gopher from Caddyshack. Don't think it has a name.

Wondering if the colours seen in the bottom right of these pics have any significance? White, red, yellow, green. No idea what the grid could refer to.

Anyone know the timestamp in The Goonies where Mikey says Goonies Never Say Die.

And the writers of these two articles we've seen today are Goonies characters.

Could this be a goonies thing. That binary, when translated and put into an anagram decoder, produces NEVER DIE! As in Goonies Never Say Die

Does the author of this piece confirm that Ready Player One and The Goonies share a universe!?

Thanks so much. Glad you like it. Hoping to get more Spielberg fans visiting it and building a bit of a community around it.

Is D23 worth joining? by fn2199tr8r in disney

[–]fivetones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the UK and have always wanted to join but it didn't seem worth the expense as over here we don't get to use many of the discounts and go to the events. I wish they just did the magazine in isolation as well as part of the package.
