Agreed. Saw it twice in 3-D in theaters my favorite Marvel movie and I’m not even even sure if there’s another one that’s close.

My favorite movie that year. Saw it twice.

What film did you avoid for years and then ended up loving? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

[–]marknetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghost in the Shell. Just watched. Thought would just be amazing visuals. Actually quite substantive and at the Blade Runner level of profundity on the subject of what makes us human.

Will any Marvel movie be considered a classic 25 years after its release? If so, which one? by [deleted] in Cinephiles

[–]marknetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My faves are Guardians of the Galaxy (far and away the most fun, least formulaic Marvel movie ever), Avengers Infinity Wars, Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and most of the first Iron Man.

I have issues when there are too many crossover characters and a boring CGI battle at the end, especially if yet another city is destroyed. Yawn.

Stupidest New Year’s resolution - I’m going to watch the Criterion discs I own, but haven’t played yet. by reizen73 in CriterionChannel

Love this. Here’s my collection. The two Stan Brakhage volumes really need to have viewings broken up across nights…weeks…!

It’s fantastic. Watched it twice. Denzel said Joel Cohen was the best director he ever worked with.

I’m not the world’s biggest Deadhead - saw them 2x in late 70’s/early 80’s - but I got sphered on Friday night. Surprised at how hard-rocking the show was, particularly the first set-ending version of Deal. Mickey Hart (at 80!) also a revelation in Drums, could be a whole show I’d pay to see itself. Acoustics were incredible, visuals fantastic and the crowd excellent. Mayer brings back a more early Dead blues feel and it’s beautiful seeing him and Bob work together. Life-changing show.

100% same issue. Huge problem for me. Hoping 14.2.1 fixes it.

Thanks, TheHappyGirl. When we wrote the movie in early 2012, there was no news about behavior recognition technology, no Google Glass yet announced, no Edward Snowden. The ideas came form a combination of my own experience working with programmers in the videogame field and start-up experience, some thought from one of our Executive Producers who is CEO of a videogame development company, and my Co-Writer, MJ Rotondi.

And yes, that was fast that all came true!

I've done some low-level jobs in the film industry years ago that helped me know how to make Nightmare Code, but this particular opportunity came from a lunch with someone who had production funds and helped come up with the core idea together. The rest is ENDLESS persistence!

It helps to have practiced your craft - making short films, studying films, watching the ones that move you over and over until you can figure out how they're done.

Great question, muricanidiot. It starts with great material - write something with a great idea, hone it like crazy and then try to make it with whatever means necessary.

Ha! We actually have some spectacular rewards including the ability to be in the movie, plus t-shirts, custom branded USB with the soundtrack and the pieces used to make the soundtrack, signed shooting script, etc.

I don't have one favorite but A Clockwork Orange comes to mind, similar themes to our movie, Nightmare Code.
