Latest one was Life Itself, about Roger Ebert, although I feel like I would cry at that one anywhere.

I thought it was hilarious. I saw it again sober and I don't think I laughed once. I'm curious to what other films are more enjoyable while drunk.

So apparently not only was The Thing the first in a loose trilogy (John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy, it was followed by Prince of Darkness and Mouth of Madness) but the Breakfast Club was also the first in a loose trilogy of movies by the director. Or so I heard. I might hav details wrong, but the idea interests me. What other "loose trilogies" are there, three movies that do not share plot arches or characters but themes and directors?

Not a trilogy, but War, Inc. is a loose sequel to Gross Pointe Blank.

morestuff posted:-- The Vengeance Trilogy (Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) I would say those are more than loose trilogies. The man with no name trilogy may not be a textual narrative trilogy, but is basically an explicit trilogy in every other way.

The Cornetto trilogy comes to mind; they all carry a loose theme of letting go of one's childhood and having to grow up. You can make an argument that Little Odessa / The Yards / We Own the Night by James Gray work as a trilogy.

I assume you mean The Dollars trilogy. They reuse the same actors for different people so it is not exactly a normal trilogy.

EmmyOk posted:I assume you mean The Dollars trilogy. They reuse the same actors for different people so it is not exactly a normal trilogy. Yeah, I get that, maybe it's just that they are so culturally accepted as a trilogy. I was thinking a "loose trilogy" was looser than that, somehow. Obviously we aren't working with a strict definition here, so whatever. I just though "if it's currently talked about, packaged as, and marketed as a trilogy, it's not a loose trilogy". "The Dollars Trilogy" is also commonly called "The Man With No Name Trilogy", and I used that name because it's the one used by the person I quoted. I kind of prefer it, since only two of the movies have the word "Dollars" in their titles.

That is fair enough! I have seen them a few times but not discussed them online so I didn't know the common parlance.

There Will Be Blood, The Master, and Inherent Vice make up a great informal trilogy about paranoia and power or whatever.

I saw two roadshow-style screening this week -- Hateful Eight and 2001 -- both with overtures and intermissions. How do the general screenings and home releases usually work for roadshow movies? Like do they just cut out the overture and intermission and show the rest of the movie? In both movies the overtures and intermissions had a good role in the movies and it seems lame if they just dropped them for the DVD.

I can't really answer that question, but my parents VHS copy of Camelot ( the musical w/ Richard Harris) had the intermission intact. Since that's a film version of a musical play, it makes sense that they would do that though.

2001, Barry Lyndon, and Lawrence of Arabia all have their overtures and intermissions intact on home media, and the times I've seen 2001 and Lawrence in theater had them, but I'm not sure what'll happen to Hateful Eight in general release.

The Hateful Eight Roadshow cut is a unique edit of the movie that will likely never have an official home release. The wide release version is an entirely different cut, beyond the wife release version not having the overture and intermission.
