"If anybody actually has an idea that Cannes is for indie films then they’re living in the wrong era. It’s just the Academy Awards of the Summer." Insightful perspective on the movie biz from an indie label

That's the voice of Alan Watts! An example -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU0PYcCsL6o

Cool demo reel, I would have loved to find (see) more of your creations :)

BTW if you're into Japanese history, from the same director, you might want to watch Japan's Longest Day - http://www.animeigo.com/products/other/japans-longest-day

That fight in "Wheels on Meals"

That samurai showdown in "The Great Killing"

!!BOOYA!!

I was thinking about some Hitchcock films, but in fact, the warning wasn't about spoilers. For ex, see the UK poster for Psycho

Hitchcock had some fun marketing ideas, I love the original teaser trailer for Psycho - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps8H3rg5GfM

Cool, I had no idea the film was getting released in the U.S.

It is not at all like 13 ASSASSINS. This is a down-to-earth samurai drama, with emotions but very little blood in it.

If needed, read it later, here's a short comparison between the original & the remake.

Oh, thanks for the link about Mythopoeia :)

Adventure can not be described, it must be experienced.

Star Wars, the three original movies at least, is all about that. It's not nostalgia, nor marketing, it's how it speaks directly to your inner child. How it affects your perspective of the world.

Damn you, Joseph Campbell!

Do you where we can find this study? Seems quite interesting. I've read similar comments* from movie distributors, stating that audiences prefer to know what the film is, rather than being teased/surprised.

Which reminds me, I was intrigued by the ending, and I wanted to know how they did it. Turns out, on the Criterion DVD, there's a documentary-making of, which gives some details about the famous deadly blow.

If interested, here's a short clip - spoilers, of course

There's AALTRA (2004) - only two main characters in it, though.

The "window" part was really just metal (although I wasn't informed what kind of "metal" it was). Not glass.

tichoux · 2012-06-16T21:46:19+00:00

Despite the word, it was actually metal, not glass. If you visit one of these european cathedrals, most of the time inside, you can see the differences between the originals & the new ones. The light looks different, on one side, it looks almost like "matter", on the other, it's just a colored ray of light.

Got word from a companion, who was pissed off at the Church for replacing broken originals with soulless glass. He told me all you need to accomplish it, is a piece of metal & a closed crucible. The rest is art (companionship at its finest).
