I'm seeing Lost in London in 45 minutes, so that'll be my second 2017 feature after that awesome KLP video. Even if it sucks, year's off to a suitably weird start.

Operation Avalanche is pretty solid, even though there's very stiff competition in the moon-landing conspiracy subgenre. It strikes me that it's an actually-good version of Zero Dark Thirty.

Split is, revealed in the very last scene, a loving sequel to Unbreakable. As in (last scene) the last scene has a random person talking about how events like the events of the movie happened fifteen years prior, involving a crazy dude whom the media gave a nickname, and how he was in a wheelchair, and the person next to him is Bruce Willis, who sighs and says "Mister Glass".

I didn't expect this. Holy poo poo.

Haven't seen it yet, but Deepwater Horizon had this going for it, too.

Okay, so, Woody Harrelson's Lost in London [Live]

Basically the two major descriptors I have are
1) Like Birdman, but with bad cinematography
2) Like Louie, except not funny

I dunno, I kinda dug it. It's garbage, but it's garbage that I like. For me, I think there are two distinct types of gimmick films. There's the ideal type of gimmick film which remains compelling long after the gimmick itself has been retired or lost. William Castle, obviously, is the gold standard of the gimmick film - House on Haunted Hill and The Tingler are both fantastic horror-comedies that transcend the superficial content of their original theatrical exhibition and take on new meaning as they enter different contexts of distribution.

Then there's the other type of gimmick film which is only worth the gimmick - Lost in London is the later category. There is absolutely no reason to see it unless you saw it tonight.

Did the movie take place in real time? I'm probably gonna watch it if it becomes cheaply available, because what you describe sounds like an interesting failure There's been a ton of live simulcast broadway performances but those we're just plays or operas that happened to have several cameras pointed at them, taking poo poo into the streets sounds both interesting and like something that introduces a milion other problems.

It was a single camera set-up. One continuous take shot and broadcast in real time.

edit:

Actually, near the climax it jumps forward in time, but not very convincingly.

Do any management goons have advice about firing people? I'm not asking for advice about making sure my company or myself is legally protected from a lawsuit. I'm asking for advice about hypothetically telling someone they can't work for my company any more. Without getting into details they are hypothetically being fired because they are bad enough at there job that it might be dangerous to other people.

Yeah, it's a very transparent vanity project. It doesn't help that the camera operator doesn't seem to ever think there's a more interesting angle than a shoulder-level medium. In terms of cinematographic quality, it's slightly better than that horrible Tony Hinchcliffe stand-up film One Shot, but any elegance or anthropological interest you could get out of the night photography is completely spoiled by the way the image is exposed. It's very 'neutral' and milky, there's no contrast to any of the lighting, no texture to the environment or profiles or costumes. It comes the closest to decency when Harrelson finally gets in a cab near the last act, but even then there's just a pervasive feeling that there's no 'connection.' It's not precisely trying to portray Harrelson's torrid past as glamorous or exotic, per se, but there's also no bridge between what is ostensibly a very profound and traumatic experience for him and the realization of this in terms of aesthetics.

On one level, I appreciate it as a 'more honest' version of Birdman - like, what if you just cut out the 'auteur' all together and really did just get a 'washed up' celebrity to stage his own vanity installation/reality show. But then you move past that and come to realize that it's basically the same celebrity idolatry, except even more naval-gazing because it's not even satiric.

edit: It might as well be an Adam Sandler movie.
