My Lovely Horse posted:Then again there are people like Nicolas Winding Refn these days who lights scenes as if he's got a deep seated personal vendetta with the idea of realism. Eh, it's a stylistic choice. The Neon Demon and Only God Forgives have lighting that definitely give the film a distinct look.

FreudianSlippers posted:Non-diegetic lighting is the Best That reminds me of this anecdote from the filming of one of the LOTR movies quote:An example of [DOP Andrew Lesnie]'s sense of humor comes in an anecdote told by "Lord of the Rings" star Sean Astin, on a set with light where there was no source for it. "Where is the light coming from?" Astin asked. Lesnie replied, "Same place as the music."

What is acting if not talking while standing in the precise pose necessary to have a streak of light perfectly illuminate your eyes?

The Wild Bunch The titular Bunch blow up a bridge in order to stop their pursuers. Pike, the leader, stops to taunt the ones trying to cross right as the charges go off. Rather than doing the Cool Guy thing of not looking at an explosion, he actually flinches when it happens. The movie obviously predates that cliché (right?), but I'm so used to it that it made me appreciate this already excellent scene even more. Edit: It might have just been on account of his horse being startled, to be fair. Bk. has a new favorite as of 16:40 on Feb 3, 2024 |

It was pretty much necessary in film noir. There was so much goddamned noir all over the screen you couldn't tell where the actor was looking unless they shone a light right in their eyes  Just buckets of noir everywhere

Yeah and no one in the golden age of Film Noir was actually trying to make "noir" as that term wasn't invented until years later by some French movie critics who went "Hey a lot of these American post-war crime films have very similar stylistic elements."

My favorite thing about NWH and the villains is everyone just accepts these guys exist. It's like "oh this guy somehow grafted hosed up ai tentacles to his spine" and it's no big deal. The lizard isn't even a blip on the radar when there's a guy who turns into a giant green rage monster if he stubs his toe bad. Goblin is basically what happens when a super soldier serum goes way wrong. Electric guy? gently caress, why not? The only one that should rate a double take and a "the gently caress?" reaction is the guy who's made of sentient sand, and as completely weird and hosed up as that it, it's just like "Huh. That's neat."

They did make jokes about Electro's origin that I feel are more at the expense of the original film way overdoing it.

He was also a weird autistic guy in ASM2 but a typical Jamie Foxx character in NWH.

ASM2 has a lot of problems but Foxx's character being a dork is not one of them. It's the closest we've come to that classic Burton style comic movie in awhile and the movie is better for it.

NWH bothers me in that Jamie Foxxs acting seems so bad in it. I know he can act really good (I’ve seen Booty Call) but there scenes where people are talking and I’m like “hell yeah” and then he has a line and I’m “ugh no” and I don’t like it. Again I HAVE seen Booty Call

Galaxy Quest Somehow I'd never noticed before that Guy is wearing a generic jumpsuit with some small alterations he presumably made himself, rather than a screen-accurate uniform like everybody else. Also, when the Commander is first showing the crew all the neat alien crap, Tim Allen perfectly conveys the giddy smugness of a guy who has done a thing exactly once and now thinks of himself as in-the-know.

I never really noticed it before but read an article about how in The Departed every character that winds up getting killed has very prominent "X" marks in many of their scenes. Linking so I don't spoil it I guess https://the-departed.fandom.com/wiki/X_marks

I wonder if any of you movie people will know what this is about. Someone sent me a screenshot saying this came up when they searched Coneheads. I warn you, this is incredibly bizarre but not funny for anyone outside a 4chan moron Content warning: racial slur, homophobia  Does anyone have ANY conception why the internet would say this to someone??

Not sure why it used a Coneheads image, but that’s an actual movie. The rest of the info there seems accurate.

freeedr posted:Content warning: racial slur, homophobia it was a movie made by this kinda weird guy from denmark called "master fatman". its a weird plan 9 type scifi movie about some aliens who turn humans gay so we stop making war. and then its offensive on top. theres nothing good about it, but fwiw i dont think it was intentionally malicious at the time. not that it makes up for anything, but thats the context. you can find it if you google the title, iirc its mostly 1950s style peopel talking on phones being shocked that humanity is becoming so gay then later, it got popular on slashdot cause of edgy cs students i think, and a group of trolls (very proto) called themselves the GNAA, and that was a whole thing for a while Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 03:57 on Feb 10, 2024 |

A fun one I just realized for Tenet is how the movie opens with the protagonist choosing to take a suicide pill to complete the mission and ends with Neil choosing to go to his death to complete the mission.
