Jesus that would have made the movie so much better and interesting. Oh well.

Speaking as a straight man, I was under the impression that James Franco is considered classically "good looking." He looks exactly like James Dean.

You can objectively evaluate most of the ideal geometric proportions of his face without catching the gay bug. Aside from that, I don't believe anyone saying they didn't know a lot women find him attractive.

BrewingTea posted:No, no, he always intended for his compositions to look like that, he just didn't have the technology at the time.  Seriously, as an aspiring cinematographer, after hearing the poo poo Storaro did, I always promised myself I would never pull something like that. I'm just glad Coppola stood up to him (finally) for the Apocalypse Now BD. I'm hoping others follow suit.

Cropping to 2:1 is a great idea on DVD... if you're putting resolution over composition. You're working with 480p and ever pixel counts. 1080p is an opportunity to reproduce the original image as close as possible. I'm divided on the few films wider than 2.55:1 (mid-1950s CinemaScope), though. Films like Ben-Hur and How the West Was Won were shot to be perfectly fine at 2.55:1. In fact, Ben-Hur was framed to be safe for cropping as far as 2.20:1.

Jack Bandit posted:"Hey Greg, why don't you go piss your pants again?" I love that part so much, since Rogan and Goldberg wrote it in high school about themselves, so that plus the "People don't forget!" probably referred to an actual guy they went to school with who pissed his pants 20+ years ago who is getting poo poo for it in a major Hollywood film.

Rake Arms posted:I don't know, but it was such a dull conclusion that I actually wished they had gone with the original draft where John Connor dies and they secretly graft his skin to Marcus so he can lead the resistance. As it is, everything goes back to the status quo at the end of Salvation, which basically defeats the point of Terminator. In all the previous films, even the lovely third one, the world has changed in some significant way by the end. Actually, in the original draft, Connor never showed his face to anyone in the resistance. He lived in a submarine and only communicated via radio, so no one (outside of his tight circle of friends) knew what he looked like. Marcus retreats to the submarine in the end and is followed by a bad guy, who opens fire in the sub and kills Connor. Not wanting to slow the momentum of the resistance, Marcus assumes Connor's identity. And in those early drafts, Connor is a folksy, sweater-wearing intellectual-type, not the commando depicted in the movie. He knew his life meant something for the resistance, so he did everything he could to not see direct combat.

Not wanting to slow the momentum of the resistance, Marcus assumes Connor's identity. And that was the role that Christian Bale was supposed to play. But Bale only agreed to join the film if they beefed up his role, which they did. Then the more interesting thematic ending was ditched because websites got a hold of what the ending was going to be and went crazy over it. Fox and McG poo poo themselves and quickly re-wrote it claiming the old ending was never going to be adhered to anyway.

I saw this documentary on the Canadian movie channel about midnight movies, and their history. Interviewed Lynch, Waters, Romero and Jodorowsky. I thought it was called Midnight Madness, but I've been looking for it for ages, but can't find it.

This movie made me both obsessed and terrified at the same time with Eraser Head. It's the only film they talk about I have not watched yet. Well, I watched most of Pink Flamingos. I don't think my life is any less richer missing Divine eating poop.

As regards my earlier comments, I'll leave 1408 for the time being until I get time to re-watch. Toy story I, II and III I had to sit through them ALL yesterday  .Leaving aside the most obvious question "(TS1)Why would Buzz act like a toy when being handled by humans if he didn't believe he was a Toy?  ".Are there any clues to - What is the nature of the toys?, Where does the rule that they are not to interact with humans come from? Who enforces it? I mean the end outtakes reel TS2 just raises more questions

Also if you don't watch Eraserhead you're doing yourself a huge disservice! I've seen almost every Waters films, except Female Trouble. I'll have to check it out sometime. Is that the one with the lobster rape? As i said, Eraserhead fascinates me and horrifies me at the same time. From some of the clips I've seen, he's used some images in later films. For example the shaterring moon is used again in Dune. Is there any word on it coming out of bluray anytime soon?

It's because the information age has lead to multimedia saturation of the first world. People are used to their standard of beauty on demand. loving 100 years ago, if you wanted to see a pretty person, you couldn't just send a telegram to google image search. I'm not gay for James Franco or anything, but there's no universe besides that one twilight zone one where he's ugly. Sure he might not be exactly what some people prefer, but that's a long shot from ugly.
