I was going to say Crispin Glover but it turns out that he is younger and Kelsey Grammer older than I expected. gently caress it, go with some old age makeup.

What aspect ratio is Nope in? I'm in a poo poo rear end theater and it's being hugely overprojected with at least the sides being cut off. Screen is set up in 1.85:1 ratio.

It changes aspect ratios. Some scenes were filmed in IMAX so they have 1.43, and according to IMDB other scenes have 1.9 and then the rest are at 2.2.

Haha this theater is such garbage. The movie was overprojected such that the entire thing was 1.85:1 Probably so the rural crowd here didn't complain about how the film was messed up or something.

You know I tend not to like modern action movies but I thought The Gray Man was really fun and charming. Really pleasant surprise. Chris Evans is such a great villain.

It's generic as hell and doesn't really look like $200m (except for all the locations), plus it has two almost identical scenes of heroic sacrifice by secondary characters. But yeah it's a lot of fun, everyone is sexy and ripped, Chris Evans being evil is always a treat, probably the most I've liked Gosling since The Nice Guys.

Lol I didn’t even register the double heroic suicide bombings. That’s hilarious. It’s also funny because the girl from Once Upon A Time in Hollywood has to basically reenact her meta-scene from that movie.

I don't understand. Tell me movie people. Why does Anderson spend so long making sure his sets look perfect and then direct his actors to say garbage dialogue while acting like they've just poo poo themselves and need to make a hasty retreat? Are all his movies like that

Gaius Marius posted:I don't understand. Tell me movie people. Why does Anderson spend so long making sure his sets look perfect and then direct his actors to say garbage dialogue while acting like they've just poo poo themselves and need to make a hasty retreat? Andersons's style is built on very carefully created sets and just as precise shot composition on those sets. He doesn't go for natural dialogue, and his characters tend to be repressing something or putting on an intentional artifice, so there's often an awkwardness to them. So if you don't like that, you probably won't be wild for his other movies. But it is worth noting that Grand Budapest Hotel is by far the most extreme example of his style. The fact that the story is coming in like third hand, from Jude Law via the guys memories, is I think represented in how intensely artificial everything is during the main plot. So you might not bounce off his earlier movies. I kinda think a lot more people would've been less happy with Grand Budapest Hotel if they had, for lack of a better metaphor, built up a tolerance through his earlier movies. Generally if people don't like Anderson except __________ the outlier is usually either Bottle Rocket, his first movie where his style is in it's infancy, or The Darjeeling Limited, his most naturalistic movie. Royal Tenenbaums is another possibility, since the carefully put together set is a visual representation of the family's word and their inability to mature, and the outside city is depicted much more like a real city. Also Gene Hackman giving possibly the best performance of his career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6l9lUPILgg

They can do what the Travelling Wilburys did when Roy Orbison died before they could make their second music and just have him represented by a guitar in a rocking chair. regulargonzalez posted:Who is your fan casting for a replacement? I was going to say Crispin Glover but it turns out that he is younger and Kelsey Grammer older than I expected. It's funny you'd say this because Crispin Glover was super pissed when they used poo poo like this to make it look like he was in BTTF 2 that he sued and a bunch of SAG rules ended up being changed.

I want to see more movies where everyone looks like regular people and they're all flabby and poo poo. Especially action movies. I want to see an action movie where the hero is some out of shape 38 year old that's not exactly ugly but not what's considered conventionally attractive and certainly not movie quality pretty. Just regular rear end people. Incidentally I think this poo poo is why people rag on Pete Davidson for his looks all the time. He's not ugly he just looks like a regular dude.

Well I'm downloading all his movies so I'll report back eventually. I feel like I've always held a distaste for the man, and that it was based on seeing one of his films, but I'm not sure which one. Really the only crime I see is that the man can seemingly get these amazing actors, and then he uses them in such odd ways, using unnatraulized dialogue is fine to effect, one brought up the dialogue of Double Indemnity in another thread. The rapport that the MC and Stanwyck have is totally unreal, nobody no matter how much they press the tongue to the grindstone could be that sharp, and yet it is effective. GB felt more like watching a badly translated anime, of which I've seen many. It was highly intriguing though, the fin de siecle early twentieth century period is my favorite so I worry that I bring my own love to the film and transfer it onto Anderson's work instead of his work speaking for itself. Idk we'll see what happens. Ngl tho I thought her birthmark was just pastry cream of some sort all over her face in the first scene which makes this the unilaterally best movie to portray my profession, and it's amazing ability to totally cover you in loving sugary bullshit. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Also Gene Hackman giving possibly the best performance of his career. I really think Rushmore is where Wes Anderson peaked, and for me at least it's the Rosetta Stone to his work or whatever, because the awkward artificiality and repression are so perfectly suited to a world being filtered through the mind of a 15-year-old poser. Moving on to almost entirely developmentally-arrested upper-class adults in his later movies loses a lot of the charm and the slightly off-kilter believability that Rushmore has.

Royal Tenenbaums is my fav of his, just rewatched that recently. That was what put him on the map with my friends at the time, got around to Rushmore a bit later.

Watched The Gray Man (the Russo bros flick where Ryan Gosling is an ex-cia agent, based on Mark Greaney's book. Greaney co-wrote or ghost-wrote Tom Clancy books). It was not bad I guess, although a little plot-thin. The Prague action scenes are pretty good although I cannot tell whether it's all CGI or practical effects. Chris Evans didn't really get to show off his acting skills as a sociopath until the final fistfight, a scene which is so obviously "yeah it would rule to watch them duke it out for a bit, but nothing in this show should even allow this to happen" that they had to just go, ok we are men and we wanna fight so let's just do it haha. I doubt this will be the franchise the show is hinting at at the end but it's a good timesink for an evening.

Has any Netflix film (not tv series) had a sequel? Enola Holmes was the only one I saw that made me want a sequel. Fake Edit, googled it and they are making an Enola Holmes sequel. So, cool.
