Saw moon, it's good, but question: would there be someone on set filling in for those scenes where the actor, after effects, is talking to himself? If so, Who does this? Is it a stepping stone in acting, is it something you get any smuck intern to do, or is it considered at all prestigious or notable?

They are usually trained actors but not highly paid; so it’s respectable without being prestigious, but it’s not just a schmuck intern. PS my phone is anti-Semitic! It didn’t recognise “schmuck”

Sometimes they use stand-ins. Sometimes not. It depends on the actor and their methods. Some prefer to not be looking or hearing anybody else ( except for someone off camera reading lines for timing) so as to not distract them. And if there's cross actions and camera movements, it's typically easier to just use a tennis ball on a stick for eye line needs. This is to minimize paint outs/rotoscoping.

What about the bit in Suspiria where they take a side trip to ask a professor to give them a one on one background lecture?

If I'm remembering right, isn't the Suspiria scene standard psychobabble (as distinct from the new-age pseudoscience present in films like Exorcist 2)?

I feel they changed the Die Hard name to warn people it was pretty bad, because Die Hard 4.0 is probably the worst thing anything has ever been called. The original title is a state motto, right? I don't see why that would be so hard to comprehend, but even in UK it was 4.0 Maybe it's revenge over the Brits changing the name of "The Madness of King George III" because they thought Americans would be too thick to realize it's not a sequel.

Does anyone find sequel titles to be just like "Hitler's Undescended Testicle 3" to be annoying? It's so loving lazy. Worse, when they get to the higher digits, the titles look like cheap porno names.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that John McCaine isn’t even the main character of the Die Hard series. It’s actually a multi-film saga of the Gruber family. You can tell that because Die Hard 1 and 3 are great whereas 2 and 4 suck rear end. Bruce Willis is just the appetizer between the main meals. So Die Hard 5 is going to rock. And I just realized there already is a Die Hard 5 and that sucked too. So now we’re hoping for a Gruber nephew in 6.

I don't see why that would be so hard to comprehend, but even in UK it was 4.0 Die Hard 4.0 works pretty well if you think of it as a program code, fitting in nicely with the theme of crazy programmers running amok. Also, like a lot of Brits, I had never heard of Live Free or Die as a motto. It was never said over here so it would not have had the same sort of impact.

All I know about movie sequels is I skipped the film POMPEII because I assumed I'd be completely lost without seeing POMPE first, and that wasn't available on video.

It's tough to make concrete recommendations without knowing what exactly you find interesting about the period, so here's a bunch of good films set in the Roman Empire that I remember of the top off my head (excluding Life of Brian): Cabiria Spartacus Fellini Satyricon Gladiator A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum Ben Hur Asterix Conquers Rom There's also somewhere around a dozen solid films based around Jesus, but they're probably not what you're looking for.

For real though, if you've never seen Cabiria, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It blows my mind that it was made in 1914.

The Fall of the Roman Empire is excellent (and the first act of Gladiator lifts heavily from it).
