Trump posted:Cinderella or Night at the Museum 3. Into the Woods could be the joker here, but I have zero idea what to expect from it. A musical with Chris Pine and Johnny Depp sounds awful, but the broadway show was popular? I decided to go with Insurgent, and also managed to get Cinderella and Fury, so I'm feeling pretty good. Into the Woods and Museum were the two first rounders after my pick. Luckily the person that drafted Mockingjay made some really terrible picks, so I don't think they'll run away with it. This is my roster: Insurgent Cinderella Fury Get Hard American Sniper Book of Life Unbroken Mortdecai Left Behind Dolphin Tale 2

Kubrick (Paths of Glory, 2001, etc), Hitchcock (Rope), and Nolan (Joker/Rachel spinning speech) experimented with long takes. I can't remember which but there was also a movie with a long take in a downtown city that followed two people around some building corners for a few minutes. I wanna think it was a 70's/80's movie.

Shame has a fantastic tracking shot of Fassbender running through NYC. Hunger also has one very long take but it's static I think.

quote:In 1995, 41 respected filmmakers got a shot at using the first motion picture camera, the Lumière brothers’ cinématographe. Rather, they got more than a shot, but often not much more: each of these icons of world cinema had to make do with a single, 52-second roll of film. Whether you were Spike Lee, Costa-Gavras, Wim Wenders, Merchant & Ivory, or Peter Greenaway, the rules remained the same: no additional film, no synchronized sound, and no more than three takes. As an example, here's Spike Lee's entry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YurMKgt1RE4 Now here's David Lynch's ( for brief artistic nudity)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFpoWwY65KI

There's also the opening of The Player, which I looked for on YouTube, but couldn't find.

The five takes were filmed over a one-month period.

Tarkovsky - The Sacrifice - it might have not been the longest tracking shot, it's not even the longest in the film, but it's the most painful and the most important. The script called for the main character Alexander, to set fire to his own house in a kind of spiritual offering/madness. The house was actually specially created just for the film (it was livable even) and during filming the camera jammed and the footage was destroyed. They had to rebuild the whole house again just to reshoot the scene, but once you see it you can tell that there wasn't anything else that could have been done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL-0-lxv40M

Macy might be doing the same thing. They both seemed so harmless and inoffensive but it was all a lie.

Just re watched it and that bit seemed so out of place. I think it's a combination of things. The Coens love their little asides and scenes that are there for fun but don't necessarily impact the story in any real way. I think though that in this case it ties a bit closer in to the story. She interviews Jerry the first time, and although nervous, fidgety, and somewhat elusive, she doesn't think much of it. Then later she meets up with Mike Yanagita, who is also odd and nervous and fidgety. After she later talks to her friend who reveals Yanagita was making up the whole backstory about him and Linda Cooksey, she has a bit of an epiphany that like Yanagita, maybe Jerry was nervous for a reason and is concealing info (especially concealing info about a woman, his "kidnapped" wife). This prompts her second visit to him, where he "flees the interview!".

In Psycho is there a reason why so many people exit their cars through the passenger door? Also, when Norman is showing Marion her cabin, he motions towards the bathroom but doesn't seem able to say what the room was. Then she identifies the room as the bathroom. This seemed weird. Was bathroom a verboten word in cinema at the time?

Was bathroom a verboten word in cinema at the time? While Timeless is right about it pointing towards Norman's own hangups, toilets weren't seen in movies or on TV at the time. This was the era when married couples were shown sleeping in separate beds and all that. Showing a toilet on film, and one that's seen flushing at that, was something sorta controversial at the time. Hitchcock seemed to like to push those little boundaries, like Sam's whispered request of the rich man at the end of The Trouble with Harry. I guess in a way Norman's hangup with the bathroom could be seen as a reflection of American society's weirdness with all that stuff.
