DC Murderverse posted:Music Box in Chicago is the best that I've ever been to. They do their 70mm festival every year, they show great movies all the time, and they do cool special event stuff as well. Plus they show as many movies as they can in 35mm. Music Box is nice but the programming doesn't really come close to the Drafthouse theaters or what I hear about some of the places in LA. Having just two screens kind of limits what they can do. The 70mm Festival and the horror marathon are great, though. It's kind of surprising Chicago doesn't have a bigger movie scene, you've basically got to spend half the year indoors. I assume/hope we'll get a Drafthouse at some point.

2016 catch-up status report: Hacksaw ✚ Ridge is a'ight, about what you'd expect for Gibson's prodigal film, which is basically a more expensive and thus more competent version of a Christian independent film. He's def' an actor's director, nobody in this flick gives a mediocre performance. But it's still kind of a compromise. If you want the real nitty-gritty, you either go for Ang Lee's much more polemical/less nostalgic Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk or Alejandro Gomez Monteverde's Little Boy. Meanwhile, I've seen Denial twice and it's still so dope.

I think one of the biggest turnarounds I've had on a movie is going from watching Dune on a crappy TV with like three people not knowing what I was going into to watching Dune at the Music Box with a game crowd.

Dissapointed Owl posted:What's the reason for this, anyway? In addition to the more prosaic reasons mentioned to do with licensing rights, filming theatre just isn't very easy. The cameras' positioning and capabilities dictate where the actors can go, how fast they can move, how they can be lit etc. You can't have a regular crowd in because the cameras will spoil the performance for them. You end up having to restage the whole thing specifically for filming, which is what National Theatre Live and things in that fashion do, but for most plays it's just not worth it. And as well, the whole thing is live dialogue, which is considerably slower paced than people expect from TV and movies where the dialogue is either edited together to be faster or rattled off by professional presenters, so it ends up being a niche product anyway. josh04 fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Mar 6, 2017 |

Late to sensory deprivation chat but I got to try it once along with a bunch of extended family (in separate pods obviously), and it was pretty neat. Nothing too crazy, but after a while I saw some really faint colors, sorta like a super-mild aurora borealis. The weird thing is a few of my other blood relatives saw colors too, but nobody else did, so I guess it's related to something genetic. Hopefully not a horrible debilitating eye disorder or something. Once in a while I felt like I was spinning in circles even though I could reach out and tell that I hadn't moved at all, but that's apparently pretty common since your whole cochlear balance system doesn't know what's going on and you have no other stimuli to orient yourself. The people working there said every once in a while someone has a pretty intense visual or auditory hallucination, even if they aren't panicking at all. And a lot of people fall asleep.

My position is go with the sensory deprivation chamber even if you think you're gonna turn into a monkey-man or some Ken Russell poo poo, because that's actually what the ken in this subforum should aspire towards. Then again, you could probably just get real baked and watch Night Train to Terror.

I guess this is the next step up from a sensory deprivation tank, and it sounds genuinely unpleasant: http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/worlds-quietest-place But parts of it sound kinda like bullshit and I can't find much else on it aside from an article in the Daily Mail, so.

Seems like you really wouldn't need to restage the entire thing for filming as you already know how everyone we'll be seeing it anyway: from an audience angle that is very limited.

I'm not sure my doe-eyed swooning would translate very well to the podcast medium. As for anechoic chambers, I've been in one of the BBC's and, yeah, I definitely experienced an intense awareness of my bodies internal sounds plus a loss of my sense of balance. It wasn't nauseatingly unpleasant like some articles claim, but it definitely was trippily weird. Returning - after about 5 minutes I think - back to customarily normal noisy environments was a bit of shock, feeling like when suddenly awakens from a dream and everything has change. Other's experiences may vary, though, as I have a few factors - autism, above-average hearing sensitivity/acuity, OCD, abundance of mental illness, etc - which probably contributed to my personal response.

That's a safe bet, but stand-out supporting performances from Hugo Weaving, Teresa Palmer, Luke Bracey, and Vince Vaughn (!!!) certainly helped. My favorite part is when they're in the movie theater and they have that whole exchange about how "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen"/"That's just because we're sitting in the dark," meanwhile the entire setting is fully illuminated. It's like anti-atmosphere.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:I honestly thought Garfield was great and his best actor nomination completely deserved. Same, but about Bill Murray as Garfield. The problem with Andrew Garfield is that when he smiles he looks like he has no teeth. Also, I wonder about the motivations of a young actor taking two roles (Hacksaw and Silence) that are so similar - stubborn religious dorks with no ability to compromise or act like real human beings. Also, dude is doing Angels in America now, guy is either a masochist or is using his job as therapy.
