VHS tapes are the only true found footage. I have a tape that I bought in an estate sale years ago. The label says "[name] birthday 199x" and i dare not watch it

A found footage movie where the camera operator is followed around by someone with a tape deck that plays perpetually appropriate music.

Better yet, the camera operator constantly attempts to hum or whistle appropriate music.

One time, some posted a broken English/autotranslated post in the Ghost in the Shell subreddit featuring a video of a supposed ghost leaving a car wreck. Everyone replied "what does this have to do with Ghost in the Shell, and also this is fake as gently caress" and the op replied by just restating "there is ghost there in the video!" And similar things. It was pretty funny. That's my story.

Not enjoyable on any level, IMO. Also LOL at Adrian Grenier as the least convincing Special Forces badass in film history.

He says the lines OK but Grenier's problem is that he has the face and demeanor of a person who's never faced an obstacle or worked a day in his life.

How is it that there are 15 sequels to the 1988 film Witchcraft, three of which were released last year? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchcraft_(1988_film) I guess number five was a Troma production that has Julie Strain.

I watched the first Ip Man movie tonight and something I was kind of confused about was how exactly did he have any money pre-war? They mention later in the film that he's never had a job before and he doesn't seem to have any source of income.

He worked as a policeman in Foshan, but that's missed out the biopic. Cerv fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Feb 26, 2017 |

I watched Hacksaw Ridge the other day and it got me thinking about large battle scenes in movies. How are largely dialog-free, action-heavy portions of films dealt with in the script? There's definitely a narrative to the sequences of events in Hacksaw Ridge and other movies, but you could narrow down like half an hour of that movie to a bullet pointed list. At that point does a writer just leave it up to the storyboard artist?

Are there multiple cuts of The Unknown (1927)? The version I watched ran 50 minutes, but it's listed many places as 63 minutes. Seems like a big discrepancy if it's just a frame rate difference.

They mention later in the film that he's never had a job before and he doesn't seem to have any source of income. Ip's financial struggles on-screen are really more symbolic of chinese martial arts' struggle to be preserved and remain popular, in a lot of cases though. I can't explain to you what Mike Tyson was in Ip Man 3 for, although it was probably because he happened to be vacationing and was in the area and someone who didn't even know who he was, grabbed him off the street and asked him to come star in a movie/show and he rolled with it.

Seems like a big discrepancy if it's just a frame rate difference. It was a lost film for years, but an incomplete 35mm print was found in France at some point. So, that print likely had missing footage. I know there's at least one part where there's a huge continuity jump that sticks out. Notice how the existing version has modern-looking credits and title cards since it was re-translated from French. There's apparently 9.5mm/16mm prints with more footage, but I doubt The Unknown is a high priority for a more complete restoration.

Spatulater bro! posted:Are you talking about from the visit to the doctor to the next scene where he's already armless? It's earlier in the film. I recall it jumps from Joan Crawford's character walking around outside, then a title card, then she's suddenly speaking to someone inside a cabin. Whether it's just an odd bit of editing or missing footage, I don't know. Wikipedia says most of the missing footage is in the early part of the film. Funny story: It was lost for years mainly because French film cans were marked "Unknown" in French, as if it was unidentified footage. (Also, footage finally surfaced from London After Midnight, but it's only two frames from a trailer)

Penpal posted:Can anyone name any movies that use a diegetic soundtrack at any point? The one that comes to my mind is the Zatooichi live action that came out a while ago. You would see a telephoto establishing shot and hear the beat, and the camera would then slowly pan down to reveal the music was a group of rice farmers, and then start trickling in more instrumentation. Specifically not radios/speakers in the film The movie Twisted Nerve has its theme music on the soundtrack, whistled by the main character as well as a 60s pop version on the radio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4QiCD_MZQk

Some reviews of American Honey mention that Star was sexually abused by a family member (her father maybe) in the past. Does anyone remember how this was revealed? In John Carpenter's The Thing, is the alien eating people and making replicas of them or just inhabiting their bodies, or is the movie ambiguous about this?

It seems to "infect" and take-over biological matter at a cellular level. We don't really see it grow or duplicated outside of reaction to trauma. So kind of both? I think it is eating people and making replicas of them, but on a cellular level a not like, shoving bodies into it's mouth and making clones or something.

After the initial grocery store scenes, when she goes home, it happens on-screen; her father is drunk and angry, dances with her, tries to do things, and the way the scene is played out it's obvious that this is not the first time.

I think it is eating people and making replicas of them, but on a cellular level a not like, shoving bodies into it's mouth and making clones or something. Yeah, we have the scene where Dr. Blair runs the simulation on his computer, with the alien cell reaching out and grabbing a normal cell, pulling it in, then pushing a clone cell back out. So in a way, it does consume the original host, but not so much in a sense that it's doing it for sustenance or whatever (though maybe it does in the process, but that doesn't seem to be the goal), but it needs to replicate the host and simultaneously destroy it, cell by cell. It does it quickly enough, as it can double its numbers in the host body each time it replicates, but it still takes some time since it its doing it cell by cell. The monster they find at the Norwegian camp has two heads split in half, one the original human, the other the replica. I think it's a probably a pretty good visual example of how it works, that each version exists for a moment in time, until the alien clone fully emerges.

"Making Clones/Duplicates" kind of implies that it would be able to, and I was just trying to be clear that its method of replication more or less conserves biomass.
