Mouser.. posted:A documentary on a film that had Murphy's Law to the full extent was Lost in La Mancha. It's about Terry Gilliams aborted attempt to make a Don Quixote movie which was beset with so many problems that he finally had to give up on the entire production. While Lost in La Mancha is excellent, I don't consider it on the same level as the others. Its more just every kind of bad luck that could happen to a production happened to it. Movies are such a big business, and its an amazing mix of egos, wildly different levels of talent and professionalism and sums of money thrown at things that are staggering.

Some people don't smoke just because they don't really feel like it. Other people don't smoke because they have a strong conviction against it. It is strange language though.

Non-smokers don't smoke, avid non-smokers are jerks about it.

Where would one go about buying a 35mm film projector and about how much do they run? I have a bunch of 35mm reels I'd like to check out.

You'd buy it from an old theater and you'd spend a lot more than you're willing to, especially if you want sound. Also they're huge... so I hope you have a basement somewhere that you're not using.

To expand on this: Non-smoker: Excuse me sir, I would prefer if you did not smoke in my house, a private location completely under my control. Please take that outside and re-join the group when you're done. Avid non-smoker: Hey! Cut that poo poo out! I know we are standing 100 yards away from eachother in an open field with a strong wind blowing and a mild rain, but I sure as hell don't want to catch cancer from seeing a cigarette. And don't think I'm gonna let you smoke in your car either! Roads are public, Cancer Merchant!

CzarChasm posted:To expand on this: To be fair, this was back in the 80s when everyone was smoking everywhere all the time and cigarette companies were still clandestinely advertising to kids. There was a lot more to be avid about back then, and a lot more at stake than being passive-aggressively strawmanned by addicts.

I heard about the Ten Commandment's buried city, isn't there a crappy Sci-fi Channel movie about it? What is the name of the Aliens documentary? Its about 2 hours long, gets really detailed in every aspect of the 4 films, talks about things like the other versions of Alien 3, has Giger saying that the Alien in Resurrection looks like a "turd".

Hibernator posted:On the anthology set? Each one has a separate documentary. They're called: There's also "The Alien Legacy" which was a 5th disc that you had to mail in the UPC from the Legacy DVD boxed set to get. Only available for a limited time, too. It wasn't in the Alien Quadrilogy boxed set, but I believe it resurfaced in the Blu-Ray boxed set. Edit: You're probably thinking of "The Alien Saga" which was a cable documentary that ran 108 minutes, had a separate DVD release http://www.digitalbits.com/reviews3/aliensaga.html , but is also available in the Blu Anthology box. Google also found this: http://www.shadowlocked.com/20101026845/news/watch-some-mind-blowing-alien-extras-not-on-the-blu-ray-anthology.html Go nuts. Additional edit with an additional link: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviewshd/bdreviews102210.html - great rundown of all the special features. Here's an excerpt: "You'll also be happy to learn that yes, Sharpline Arts' excellent Alien Legacy documentary is finally included here, as is the 2001 Alien Saga documentary. And all of the older laserdisc archive material is here too. One additional note, however: If you have Image Entertainment's original Alien Saga DVD, you may wish to keep it. It includes a couple things not available on the Anthology or anywhere else, including 4 short Aliens production featurettes (Grunts in Space, Behind the Scenes and profile pieces on James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver) as well as a bit of uncut Sigourney Weaver screen test footage. Most of the same screen test footage is here on the Anthology, but it's been censored." Five Cent Deposit fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Dec 16, 2011 |

They would talk to people involved with the movies and behind them they'd often have old timy green computer graphics of facehuggers and stuff. It was really fascinating, as they got into the strange idea for Alien 3 with the wooden spaceship full of monks and stuff. EDIT: Ah! Alien Saga! Thanks!

Not a General Movie Question as much of a General Movie Forum Question: Is it kosher to 'necro' one of the Movie Of The Month threads? I watched Little Shop of Horrors the other day, which was the September MOTM, but I'd feel silly if it was an unwritten rule of Don't Bring Up The Old Movie Of The Month threads...

If, like me, you have the Blu Anthology then you're in luck, it's in the Archives section. But if not, or if you're a crazy completionist, Amazon has the standalone DVD (with extra stuff) for only 9 bucks. Hell, check netflix too. I'm also definitely planning to try to download those other free docs I linked to.

Detective Thompson posted:What do films use when they want to portray marijuana, both in the smoking and in the buds themselves (if they aren't using the same thing for both)? I can finally use this completely useless information i learned. They used this stuff called flock - its some type of poo poo that is used to make small model trees for train sets, you can buy it in bags at Hobby lobby and bunch together it looks like marijuana as you can mix brown and green flock.

What about cocaine? I felt bad for Heather Graham and Julianne Moore in Boogie Nights in that one scene where they're holed up in a bedroom doing line after line because I imagine several takes of those scenes would be hell on the nasal passages regardless of what was being snorted. Is there something they use that lessens the damage/irritation?

I was doing some PA work for a movie and this was a big part of it was stuffing this poo poo in bags to make it look like packaged marijuana.

SubG posted:Mannitol, which you can get over the counter as a laxative for children, is often used. It doesn't cause damage but, yes, it does work as a laxative. A friend of mine worked at a health food store and always found it unnerving how many people that bought nothing but large quantities of lactose powder with cash on a fairly regular basis.
