Gaius Marius posted:You gotta go back to the sixties really. Hitchcock fell in love with the city and filmed there extensively. Bullitt gets filmed there and revolutionizes the car chase and basically creates the first moder police procedural film. And then American Zoetrope was headquartered there. I love Bullitt but I don't think it created the modern police procedural.

If anyone is still interested, here’s some pictures of the “Kinonik Studio” where my dad stores and works on the reels, and where he also does screenings every Wednesday night it seems. I was just talking to him about it - they used to do them at this dilapidated old theater in downtown Portland called “The Movies”, and then they were screening at a local art gallery called “Space” for a while, but that apparently wasn’t too functional. Now they screen here, and it sounds like it’s a pretty fun place to watch a movie with 30-40 folks in there together. But anyway, here is the place and how it looks! The two girls in the panorama are apparently interns who just began there today, according to my dad. I’m actually a little envious, apparently one of them wanted to just live there full-time and sleep on the couch. I would too!

The closest Paris, Texas the movie gets to Paris, Texas the city is a photograph. The original script for Chinatown had zero scenes take place in LA's Chinatown because it's really just a metaphor, but Polanski insisted at least one scene in the movie Chinatown should actually take place in Chinatown so the finale was moved there.

You should make a thread about this and we can get it in the next SA highlights Pragmatica does.

Some fuckers stole my bike last night. I bought an angle-grinder-resistant lock but they just cut through the toughened steel planter to which the bike was locked. We use the bike all the time, for school runs (and errands) so it’s a massive inconvenience, not to mention the cost and rage.

Sucks. The only strat is to have piece of poo poo bikes that you don't get care when they're nicked, or else a good bike that you bring indoors. There's nothing an angle grinder won't get to eventually, and nobody gives a gently caress to intervene

If you see it there, don't bother calling the police, instead say you're interested and go look at it asap. Take it for a test ride and off you go. Have your friend who dropped you off pick you up a couple blocks away.

What are some of your favorite films that really let the environment shine? I was watching the trailer for All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt and I just love the atmosphere (also I'm from rural Mississippi but that's here nor there) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiQvFKfpCi4 Also preferably films shot on actual film. They don't have to be, but I do like letting the actual medium shine too.

about to fire up Pan's Labyrinth for the first time maybe since it came out in theaters. i'm watching the criterion disc, and there's an option to play an intro by Guillermo del Toro and it's just this like 2 minute thing where he sits in front of a red velvet backdrop saying how he lost 45 lbs making this movie and it almost destroyed and killed him and he hopes you enjoy it! what the hell was the point of that lol it almost makes me bummed to watch it now.

I watched two movies today, War-Gods of the Deep and The Marvels. War-Gods of the Deep was a lot of fun. Vincent Price as a menacing sea captain, lots of Jules Verne style turn of the century scuba suits, mermen, actual guys in full body merman costumes swimming around and getting into fights the Jules Verne guys, big classic cave sets, a Scottish man with a chicken. Just a fun olde timey sci-fi time. The Marvels was a bit of a mess. It serves as a sequel to three things; the Ms. Marvel show no one watched, a minor subplot from the Wandavision show, and, and this one's the largest factor, a Captain Marvel movie that does not exist. Like, do you remember at the end of Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel says she's going to go gently caress up the Kree for being bad guys? And then that's just never mentioned again? Well, we discover through flashback like half an hour into this movie that she did do that off screen between movies. She destroyed the giant computer that ran their society and was their god, and also boiled their seas, wiped out most of their atmosphere, and extinguished their sun. And this movie is about one evil Kree lady trying to steal other planet's oceans, atmosphere, and sun in order to save the Kree homeworld. These fuckin late era Marvel movies are trying to do way too much poo poo.

Yeah, I would have liked to see this as an actual movie. We get this brief bit of Captain Marvel as this awe-inspiring figure of terror and then there was nothing else like that in the entire rest of the movie.

And the MCU could really use some big epic tentpole movies building up characters at this stage! I guess they really wanted a multiracial ensemble movie and drat the consequences?

The super loving annoying thing is my mom and her best friend from grade school (who I genuinely call "my other mother") both loved the first Captain Marvel film and my mom watched the Ms Marvel TV show. And so we all watched "The Marvels" together and they were both completely lost. I know post menopausal women isn't the target demographic but I just felt bad recommending it. "Oh, they loved the first one, the three main actresses are super charismatic, this should at least be fun."
