This is amazing. I never actually liked Peter Jackson's LotR movies much either but this is some seriously impressive work.

The fact that the movie Deep Blue Sea can happen at all. Why are they making super sharks out in the ocean instead of in an aquarium on land somewhere?

Zaphod42 posted:All the forced perspective stuff is really loving amazing when you find out how they did it. That scene in LOTR where Frodo and Gandalf ride on the wagon, the wagon was actually this huge angled contraption so that Gandalf could sit next to the camera and Frodo could sit really far away and have them look like they were next to each other. Gandalf's robe covers up the part in the middle where the wagon splits and the second seat is waaaaaay back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtChPB6NjJY ?

The experiments were illegal so they had their base in international waters. Alternative answer, they built a giant James Bond Villain underwater lair because it is cool and they could? My irritation with that movie lies with the nature of the sharks' intelligence. A high IQ or whatever doesn't magically make you know what doors are.

If I remember right Head Bitch of the lab was all about finding a cure for Alzeihmers or cancer and making giant shark brains was the key. Wasn't the original ending having her survive, and the cook guy die instead? I read that test audiences hated it, so they reshot it so the Head Bitch died instead. The movie did have some decent death scenes. But the sharks were horrible CGI and poo poo, just seeing their size made me laugh hard enough to piss. A shark that size would be eating grown whales. I wish they'd have done a feeding time shot. Illegally whaling to feed the giant sharks would have been the icing on the poo poo cake.

Yeah, it's the one movie I can think of where hearing about tests audiences makes me genuinely happy, because it owns that LL Cool J survives. They did have the scene where the shark pack ate the Tiger Shark, I thought that was pretty badass. But then they disable the surveillance cameras in their tank and it's another moment where I go "Wait, how would the sharks know what cameras do?"

I let that one slide because it could have been by accident, the shark was thrashing around pretty wildly. I was re-watching Fallen recently. Movie owns, but I frowned a bit when they watched a video of a guy talking in some strange language and went "I don't understand a word of what he's saying, get a linguist!" And then a linguist comes and goes "Hm yes, this seems to be Aramaic. Give me a day to translate it!"

The animatronic sharks they used on Deep Blue Sea are crazy:quote:To get the job done, the team watched video of real makos swimming frame by frame, then borrowed equipment and technology that’s typically used in 747s and built the sharks as self-contained units. The remote-controlled machines had 1000hp engines, weighed 8000 pounds, and swam on their own, without the use of external wires or apparatus, at up to 30mph. They built 4.5 sharks: Three 15-foot makos, which played the first gen sharks; and 1.5 generation-two sharks, which represented that first generation’s 26-foot-long progeny. quote:The remote-controlled machines had 1000hp engines, weighed 8000 pounds Oh and they almost killed the cast: quote:Everyone was kind of (upset) because they hit us full on with three tons of water. That was not supposed to happen and we didn't have safety harnesses on and we were flailing around on this deck.” Still, Jackson said, “I thought that was pretty funny when I saw it in the final film. I said, ‘Oh, they kept that.’” hottubrhymemachine has a new favorite as of 12:12 on Mar 31, 2015 |

The doctor chick initially survived, yes, but test audiences hated every aspect of her character, which is the correct response a person should have to her. What's funny is Saffron Burrows later played Victoria Hand in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I couldn't figure out why I immediately hated her until I looked her up on IMDB.

Allegedly she wasn't even told that the ending of the movie had changed, her whole death scene is just CGI. She didn't find out until she was sitting at the premiere.

Dr_Amazing posted:What's the deal with revenge of the nerds? Are the nerds supposed to be the good guys? Because they seem to be a bunch of rapists. It was a different time  But yeah Revenge of the Nerds is a pretty heavily problematic movie on a million different levels. Its like Animal House with racism and sexism thrown in. Well, there was probably racism and sexism in Animal House I'm forgetting too.  I feel like Revenge of the Nerds was almost like a different exploitation film genre, like there was a series of softcore porn sold to teenagers in the 80s as films. Wet Hot American Summer and Porky's and such, continuing up American Pie. I guess that's just "teenage romantic sex comedy".

It's hilarious, but mainly because it's making fun of movies like the other ones.

Coming to terms with how much I cringe watching old Robin Williams movies. Both Patch Adams and Good Morning Vietnam would be interesting stories, but they add a female lead subplot in the exact same way. It's "Extremely busy, already in difficult times woman repeatedly and very clearly refuses his advances, which he responds to by just following them around doing even louder schtick til they sort of cave." Toss in that in both cases the female lead is chosen by Robin because she's the first woman he sees wherever he happens to be.
