that shot of the stationary shark slowly coming towards the glass is masterful.

Grendels Dad posted:Have you seen the way the shark dressed? A technical problem with roboshark makes Spielberg a genius? Sorry, not buying it from a guy who conspired with Lucas to write about a hero who raped a young girl. It's dull, extremely dated and if Mike Nelson and Bill Corbett aren't constantly mocking it idgaf e: I like a lot of Spielberg, don't get me wrong but not that

not showing the shark was always the plan. it's this myth that keeps being repeated that grew out of the fact they did have loads of issues with the sharks. they even did an alternate alex kitner scene where the shark was actually shown rising up and chomping on him but used the version where the visuals imply the attack so as not to reveal the shark too early.

I'll give Jaws props for not being Sharknado. Too many sharks in Sharknado and Jared from Subway in the subway eating a Subway sandwich in front of a Subway advert. That was not a good scene. Can't take that many predators on screen at once.

Writing a character having sex with a young girl is not the same as actually doing it. Not at all.

what always bothered me about jaws is quint misgendering the shark. at its size it's definitely a female but he keeps referring to the shark as "he".

Indiana Jones is a really flawed character. He can't fight. He has no plan. He's kind of a dick too.

If it hadn't been for Jones' interference, the Ark would have been opened in Berlin and probably would have wiped out a lot of the Nazi high command, effectively ending World War II.

Indiana Jones is also the guy who found incontrovertible proof of God, and specifically the god of Abraham and Jesus, and didn't tell anyone. Twice.

Casimir Radon posted:Belloq cowing them into letting him open it had nothing to do with Jones. They thought he was likely dead at that point. They were going to fly it straight to Berlin in the flying wing that Jones blew up. It was only because of that that Belloq was able to divert it to the abandoned island. If it had reached Berlin the Nazi bureaucracy would have taken over and Belloq wouldn't have been able to stop it.

I did always kind of appreciate that in the end he has basically no proof of his adventures. Other than the rear end whipping he seems to take in every movie. And occasionally Brody or Sallah but who would believe those nuts?

Yep, it would be like that scene out of William Burroughs' The Wild Boys where the CIA and the Pentagon attempt to weaponize a Mayan death god and get hosed by their own hubris when it wipes out Washington D.C. "Here lies stupid vulgar sons of bitches who thought they could hire DEATH as a company cop."

Cythereal posted:Ender's Game the book is like this as well, but didn't save the movie from being oriented towards kids. Actually I'm pretty sure you're thinking about Anvil of Stars, that's the one with all the children/teens. Forge is mostly adults. I would love to see an adaptation of Forge done right, that scene at the end at Yellowstone Park (I think? It's been over a decade since I read it) has always stuck with me.

I went to see Close Encounters of the Third Kind today, and it was kind of...pixelated? Would that be the result of like, a wrong setting on the projector, or was it digitized in some kind of horrible way? Still very enjoyable.
