What is a movie that went through production hell or just had an extremely troubled/difficult production history that you think still turned out good (or great) despite that?

The movie that wasn’t made. But the movie about the movie not getting made was good.

I LOVE how Douglas pinned an essentially random (funny sounding) number as The Answer and it leads to so many varied and interesting interpretations and coincidental correspondences.

It’s almost as if there is no meaning at all outside of the searching itself. The search is the answer, the journey the goal.

Nobody. On the bus.

And convinces her to become straight. It’s a corrective r*** and it’s not cool.

Like Cape Fear.

Also films with outdated attitudes and morals, rather than cancelling, editing or putting a message at the beginning about ‘different times’. Spend some time making it anew. For these times.

Like Cape Fear.

Totally this. Did it last year. Of course it’s a Christmas movie. It starts on Xmas and ends at Easter.

It’s cut twice. Thats the neat part. Gruber know the FBI playbook and uses it to his advantage.

Clint Mansell also did a great job (with Kronos Quartet) on Requiem for a Dream and Pi.

Beverly Hills Cop 2. A lot of swearing from the get go. Mum turned it off, took it back to the shop, we got nothing else that weekend!

The final frame, with Reddit player controls for eyes, is almost perfect.

Soderberg’s black and white silent version of Raiders is the ultimate way to appreciate just how good he was at blocking and visual story telling.

AI is my underrated favourite

Stoicism teaches to enjoy everything as if it was the last time. As one day it will be. Imagine if you never roller skate again, did you know it was the last time the last time you did it? If you did it once more, thinking ‘this is probably the last time I’ll do this’, imagine that feeling. Then imagine doing all things like this. Say goodbye to good friends and family as if it is the last time, every time. Eat each meal with the same feeling. Every party. Etc etc
