quote:While Alfredson is comfortable admitting the movie suffered from production mistakes, he’s still willing defend its use of geography. “It’s not a documentary about the geography of Norway, I wanted to make a fictive thriller,” he says. “So even if not everything is geographically correct, I don’t give a poo poo.” this should be stuck to the top of every cineD thread

GrandpaPants posted:http://www.indiewire.com/2017/10/the-snowman-director-explains-movie-terrible-tomas-alfredson-1201888133/ They've suddenly started airing new TV spots for this movie that made sure to tell you Martin Scorsese was the executive producer. They have a completely different tone compared to the laughably terrible trailer I've seen in the theater a few times now. It just feels like they're desperate to do anything not to make this movie bomb. If I get bored I might still go see it thanks to Movie Pass. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The first time I saw a trailer for the Snowman I thought it was some kinda weird comedy parody of a thriller. It is just so bizarrely bad.

There's no hook that's different than any other crime procedural out there. Also where's my Smiley's People??

Between The Snowman and Geostorm, this is a good weekend for godawful cinema, expect Boo 2 to be #1. There is also Christian film Same Kind of Different as Me, which sounds like it goes all Magical Negro, but it's based on a true story, so if you criticize it, God will give you leprosy

I've never actually read the source material, but was Silence of the Lambs somehow above airport fiction tier? I thought The Snowman's trailer looked alright and it had a solid cast and great director, so I was hoping it would have at least been passably entertaining.

The only thing I was wondering after seeing The Snowman was what the hell was going on with Val Kilmer in that movie? I know he's had some throat problems (cancer?) and has probably had some surgery, but wasn't it obvious as hell that his voice was completely dubbed by some dude who didn't sound like him at all? The voice didn't even sync with his lips' movement, and at times Kilmer wasn't even speaking, yet there was that voice. What the gently caress?

got any sevens posted:I wonder if the unfilmed 15% couldve even saved it It depends on what was in the 15% but Seven and Silence of the Lambs would both be loving incomprehensible and pointless if you took away the right 15%.

Is there any clarification on how 15% went unfilmed? Because the director has made comments like "when we started cutting we discovered that a lot was missing," and, while I have no experience with the process, I would have thought that keeping track of what you have and haven't shot would be someone's job during filmmaking.
