Zypher posted:I’m looking for examples of slow motion pass-bys in films (ie: two people walking past each other and staring each other down). I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time googling and come up with very little to show for it. For the record, the TV Tropes page is mostly unhelpful — almost none of their live action examples are actually two people walking past each other. The woman in the red dress scene from The Matrix.

I have a weird question about storytelling structure: is there any precedence for a feature film made up of several 10-20 minute chunks about the same characters? I had a really cool idea for a story and I’m more familiar with the structure of movies, and I have a definite start and end point in mind, but for some reason I can only picture the story as a serial.

Sounds like a tv show, maybe one of those british ones where a season is only a handful of episodes. Unless you tell it non-chronologically, then you have something like Pulp Fiction or Go.

YTotD is Werewolves on Wheels, unfortunately in a cropped and censored version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0hC2rK1oTk "You dudes just don't want to see the reality. That was no accident. It was heavy. Somebody's controlling the vibes." My favorite film that I saw during a 24 hour horror marathon this past weekend (aside from some classics I had already seen). It's a great instance of characters not realizing they're trapped in the wrong genre, with a biker gang bumbling their way through a satanic cult film when their leader's old lady is abducted for an evil ritual. There's fun eccentric characters with names like Tarot and Movie, lots of interactions that feel more authentic than a typical B-movie, and a nice soundtrack. It's short on werewolves, so go in expecting it to not live up to its title (although at the end a werewolf does indeed drive a motorcycle) and you might be pleasantly surprised like I was. Maybe watching it at 1am helps. It's available uncut and in much better quality on Shudder so I'd recommend watching it there if you can. "C'mon Tarot, we're gonna kill us some monks, man."

It varies from cat to cat, my orange tom is super friendly, his sister was a tortie and a complete bitch who only like him and me. When I lived with people who had two cats of their own, both sisters, they were super friendly. Often it'd be them and my tom curled up on one side of the bed and my tortie on the other by herself.

precision posted:Truly cats are a spectrum They are. I had to put Spike (affectionately known as the Marketing Cat) to sleep last year, and he basically fell in love with me the minute he saw me when I was first dating my ex. Cherry, a tortie, lives with her and she hates anything and everything that lives and breathes, aside from my ex, but she's old and cranky, probably 18 or 19 years old, so she gets a pass. When I get a job and my finances in order--please, God, give me something soon--I'll probably go to the humane society and see about adopting a new one. If I cark it I have a neighbor friend who will gladly take it in. Timby fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Oct 30, 2018 |

I had a weird obamacare death panels experience just now. The government mandated a while ago that every Australian starting november 15th gets their full medical records put in a government accesible database, but you can opt yourself and/or a dependant out. As hosed as that scope already is, it's since come out that hundreds of government contractors can access this database, and despite explicit promises that cops couldn't access it, the police unions have urged their cops to opt out, because they can It's not super easy to opt out, with the three government recognised forms of ID that I have, I got this  I rememberes to opt out because there was a saintly volounteer at the substance abuse clinic I go to who asked me if I'd like to attend an information meeting they were holding, for obvious reasons, otherwise I would have completely forgotton There is a deep and sad nihilsm to Australian people and our media, usually portrayed as like a carefreeness, which is obscenely manipulable E: also, that 1800 number was a dead hyperlink, rather than a clickable phone call The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Oct 30, 2018 |

As an American expat in Australia, i’ll take Australia’s godless nihilism if it means I get free healthcare, cheap meds, gun control, welfare, a high minimum wage, labor laws, and compulsory voting. If you want a portrayal of the worst of Aussie culture, just watch the original Wake in Fright.

Yeah, I think this is fine. Some films that come to mind that kinda use this format are some Korine flicks like GUMMO and Mister Lonely, The Square, some Linklaters like Slacker, or something like Synecdoche, NY and Anamolisa. It's not that weird of a structure. Maybe consider chapter headings or something if it seems too unclear.

Fair warning: Korine's stuff is often intensely disturbing and it's not for everyone. Gummo, in particular, is a trip and a half.

Coffee and Pie is at least familiar with Spring Breakers. But yeah, GUMMO is probably his most disturbing (maybe Trash Humpers, also episodic, is more disturbing in an absurdist way). Just be warned that a "plot" point is that the kids kill feral cats for money, and they do some disturbing things (to fake dead cats).

A lot of Michael Haneke's works are made up of vignettes featuring the same characters at different times and locations, could check out Code Unknown or The Seventh Continent. Holy Motors is a surreal take on that, putting its main character into various situations and shorts within the film. edit: Four Rooms
