Well, they use the weights to identify that there were additional agents using thermoptic camo, actually. The door stays open as if someone was following and the weight is too much for just two agents even if they were fully cyberized. Love that movie/sequence.

Society is numb to overpopulation and consumerism, issues he said could be explored thematically with mindless zombies. “In that sense I found you have an incredible opportunity to make a blockbuster movie that has some sort of substance.” Isn't this literally what Romero's series was?

Mr. Squishy posted:Zombies before Romero were about slaves. True facts. I Walked with a Zombie is kind of amazing, because it's a horror film from the 40's that essentially explores that very idea. That is, mythological zombies as a metaphor for racialized disempowerment under imperialism. It's surprisingly coherent as a postcolonial argument, for a ~70 year old movie.

achillesforever6 posted:I've actually heard people say that Romero made up that Dawn of the Dead was a commentary on consumerism years after it was released to make it seem like a more "important" and "deep" film. Those people are idiots of course. There's actually a lot of commentary on consumerism, but the best on I can think of is the one scene where Stephen is watching the bikers ransack the mall, saying that the mall "is ours" to himself before attacking them, when it's clear that the bikers can not obviously take most of the goods in the mall. There's literally more than enough in the mall for the three of them and he can't stand the bikers getting away with it.

Some posters I've come across recently. I wish this were a policy for every movie.  I think this scene is maybe two minutes in an incredibly moving and sad 2-and-a-half-hour film.  When holiday-themed newspaper ads for movies go too far.

They would have a series of things that they would show and you just paid your admission for the cinema to see whatever they had. So you could come in on the middle of a film and then sit down and watch the end, then a short and a news reel and another film and then watch the beginning of the movie that you missed.

Robert Denby posted:Some posters I've come across recently. Hitchcock was loving serious about making sure people enjoyed Psycho right. Here's Cracked talking about it, but to summarize: Hitchcock bought every single copy of the original novel he could to ensure nobody was spoiled by it, didn't even produce a trailer, and had a recording played after the movie of himself telling the audience not to spoil the whole thing to their friends.

Not only that, he barred critics from seeing it because he didn't want the ending spoiled its first week of release.

Happens with double features in the Philippines and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in other countries as well. Quite often co-workers would take me to see a movie and we would typically just buy a ticket and go in without looking at the time. Watch however much of the first film was left, watch the secound film, then the rest of the first film again. Its actually pretty enjoyable way to watch some films, and its nice getting that little bit of closure form the first film at the end of it all.
