I think a decent chunk of The History of the World Part 1 takes place in Roman times.

how come in the film the invention of lying everyone says whatever pops into their head. even in a world where you couldn't lie people wouldn't do that. when he visits jennifer garner for their date at the beginning she says something like she just got done masturbating. answer for your crimes, gervais.

We watched Rome, I Claudius and Cleopatra back to back over several weeks, it was good. I worried I Claudius was going to be too dry (despite leading off with BRIAN BLESSED) but it soon goes as nuts as Rome or its ilk.

How much, on average, does it cost to license music for a movie? I'm guessing the bigger the musician/band, the more it costs, at least generally speaking.

It's been rumored it cost Marvel millions to use the 'Immigrant Song' for Thor. Bonnie Raitt got a million dollars for her song 'Something to Talk About' to be the title of a Julia Roberts movie.

For instance, could the Red Hot Chili Peppers say that they won't allow any of their music to be used in future Friday the 13th movies and WB Records goes, "lol nah"?

Generally (not always) the songwriter(s) own the copyright to the song itself and the label/publisher owns the copyright to the recording, I believe both would have to be negotiated to license a song for a movie so I think RHCP could say no and the record label couldn't do anything about it unless they negotiated with the band.

Yeah, it really depends. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, for example, were / are famously protective of their work, so all the way back to their first album, From Her to Eternity, they retained the rights to both the songs and the recordings--so no matter what label they went to (first Mute, then Anti, then their own label, now they're back with Mute), they completely controlled everything, and when Mick Harvey did the remastered albums a few years back, they were able to self-publish them without needing to involve Mute. Leonard Cohen, on the other hand, was constantly dicked around by his labels and by the '80s had no control over anything. Timby fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Mar 23, 2018 |

I think bands that retain the rights to be really selective are few and far between. You have to be pretty big to get that level of bargaining power in your contracts. So generally, for 95% of bands, the label could override you. Doesn't mean they will. I think if there's a general strong reason for you not wanting it to be in a certain property they would hear you out. Maybe I dunno. Even lesser known songs from lesser known folks can run you into the tens of thousands to use in a movie.

Somehow this clip cost $50,000 in music licensing, for something that really shouldn't require licensing at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxqycijBUn0

On the other hand, it can be weirdly cheap under strange circumstances. Known sexual harassment freak Louis CK explains licensing basically an entire The Who song for his show:quote:AVC: Presumably the rights to that are very expensive.

For a question that isn't strictly about movies, but in music videos where the band is performing (like a shot of an 80's hair band rocking out in the spark factory in between shots of chicks dancing), are they actually performing and the music is like, dubbed over them, or are they basically just lip syncing, but for every instrument?

It varies, but it's mostly the latter. They might be actually performing, but sound isn't being recorded.

usually the song is being played on set so they can coordinate the lip synching and miming.

I wish criterion would put the beastie boys anthology out on blu ray because that had some amazing behind the scenes documentaries o all their videos. The sad thing is, those videos aren’t as impressive in the modern age. I showed my 22 year old GF Body Movin , Star Guitar by Crystal Method and Drop by the Pharcyde and she was so disinterested and unimpressed and i realized that any idiot can make something like that now a days.

Star Guitar is Chemical Brothers (you mean the Michel Gondry vid where each sound element has a corresponding visual element as seen from the train window, right? Btw its basically an extension of the idea he used for Daft Punk's Around the World). But maybe don't date so far below your age that you have nothing in common you pervert

Yes chemical brothers my bad lol. But something like that can be done easily now a days, you wouldn’t have to model it out. And there’s soooo many unique and weird and cool music videos now a days that those ones aren’t as special anymore.

probably! I haven't seen new videos in ages really. I think the most recent one is probably Dan Deacon - As I Was Done Dying Even back then you could at least partially automate it though – isolate each video element you want to use. Then get the song as a MIDI or whatever & mess around with a perl script to create a file for whatever video editing program you use, then polish it after.

Did they ever release those Director’s Series DVDs on Blu-ray (the ones where each volume was dedicated to a particular director’s music videos)? I had the Jonze and Gondry ones back in the day, I think there was an Anton Corbijn one too?

No they didn't, otherwise I would've been all over them It looks like the last thing they did was do 3 pack DVD bundles edit: Oh, they did a Michel Gondry part 2 but it's $50 used https://www.amazon.com/Michel-Gondr...0QJTKK9R7P286FS

During the "I'll be back" scene in Terminator 2 when the police launch a tear gas attack against Sarah and John (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U39IkVxVOHU&t=385s), would the shared gas mask usage as depicted actually be effective in avoiding exposure to / the effects of tear gas? I feel like the chemical would be clinging to their skin and so when they swap the gas mask back and forth and then start to breathe, they'd be inhaling it that way.

Their eyes would totally be hosed though due to the exposure.

When you make something that good, there's no way to follow it up. But also, after TOL, it seems he's abandoned the idea of writing scripts.

I'd say the problem might be that his themes and settings are maybe too similar in his post-TOL movies. But I only dislike one Malick, so I don't agree with the complaint.
