Hundu mentioned that It Follows is an extremely feetsy film and I can confirm that Myth of the American Sleepover is as well. I wonder if Mitchell's brief Twitter back and forth with QT after it follows was coded fetish language.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm saying a bit. I'm not against harsh criticism, but the whole putting it out for the world to see when I wasn't really intending on doing that, and being a little snarky about the first page just felt unusually mean to me.

weekly font posted:Every year and a half or so I get the urge to rewatch Up in the Air and when that urge strikes me, I think to myself, "Why, I remember it being good but not that good." Then I watch it and I'm reminded that, no, it is really that good and I probably don't remember that because it rises to the levels that all of Jason Reitman's other movies vocally aspire to. it makes me so angry whenever I think about Jason Reitman's last two movies because Labor Day is such a boring movie that could be made by anyone and The Internet Is Really Really Bad Y'all, Starring Adam Sandler is one of the worst, most anger inducing things I've watched in a theater. and then I think about his first four movies and wonder how he could gently caress that up. What if that happens to Edgar Wright? What if his next movie is just complete and total garbage? I don't think I could handle that.

If it helps any, this vignette has inspired me to write a scene in my screenplay of two characters arguing over a script. My horror comedy keeps drifting into Seinfeld territory.

I'm pretty sure shared that script about pissing LEGO bricks a while back. That script will be made eventually but due to the impracticality of creating a realistic fake penis that can convincingly let out huge streams of puss, blood, and LEGO the main character will probably undergo a gender swap. That way we can just have the leading lady sit on a toilet and make pained expressions and add in some sounds of LEGO hitting porcelain and then cut to a shot of blood and LEGO flooding into the toilet bowl. The title is of course a pun that only works in Icelandic wherein an extra letter is added to the word "LEGOLAND" so it means "LEGOURINE" instead.

FreudianSlippers posted:I'm pretty sure shared that script about pissing LEGO bricks a while back. Are you serious? The imagery of a penis being ripped apart by a stream of lego bricks forcing their way out of/through the eurethra is the best part. Fabricating a rubber/gel/latex prop and making a rig to force lego bricks and fluid through it would totally be worth it. Cronenberg as gently caress.

That image was the first thing I though about after the title so if we can find a workable way of doing it properly we probably will. The gender swap is also partially motivated by the fact that we have a planned series of sketches with a female main character and we thought we might retrofit this one into that one. I haven't actually looked it up but I bet there is a shitload of dildos that are hollow and designed for ejecting things but I somehow expect they are insanely expensive and that most of them are freaky alien tentacle dragon dongs. Currently we are working on doing a almost remake of this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhV-4658syE Except instead of getting naked the people eat forbidden potato chips like communion wafers.

That's why I love Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End. They're excellent examples of the genres in addition to being great comedies. All on top of being brilliantly made. Especially in horror, a lot of bad movies would have been saved by simply not taking itself seriously. You can still have a scary horror movie, but just don't have characters be idiots because the script says so.

Schwarzwald posted:So are we talking a handful of 1x1 round panels or are you planning on going full Duplo? I am picturing 2x6 block, but that's probably a bit extreme. But the tall ones. Maybe start with a 1x3, then a 1x2, then a 2x6 and call it good. Stream of urine, separate syringe to add blood as the bricks start to come. The easiest way to do is is probably to actually drill and thread and glue the bricks onto some clear fishing line, which will be concealed by the stream of fluid and maybe a bit of digital editing if they are all seperate strings, the bricks can fall away as they come out. This method has it's downsides, but I feel like it'll give the best bulge of the bricks traveling down the shaft. If that's not important visually (of course it is), you could instead use larger rubber tube for the shaft, which won't deform, but you put the bricks in it and push them through with a plunger.

You should do the LEGO urethral ejection in slow motion, loooooong take, close-up, making it look as realistic as possible. All set to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt5EHAqhR1c

I lost it when my old laptop died, and I wish I had archived it now. I wanted to make a short film parody of those Hostess pie comic ads and ended up with a black comedy revenge thriller about a man obsessed with finding the perfect pie. It was while I was going through my Orson Welles phase. Maybe I should rewrite it.
