Aretha’s version of “Think” in blues brothers loving rips. Seeing that in a repertory theatre blew my preteen mind and got me into a whole new bunch of music. Also the Ray Charles banger. Just a classic film for both the comedic elements and the music.

The movie already had comic legends starring in it and directing, which was nothing new then and now. But then you add in absolutely amazing performances by GOAT tier musicians, and you have an all-timer. The movie is absolutely a musical and the funny bits are just there to move us from song to song.

In a way the movie is ABOUT those performances and the funny poo poo is just the connective tissue between the songs. Kinda like how Indiana Jones is really just a bunch of action set pieces with some narrative to bring you from one piece to another. Yeah for sure, it’s absolutely a musical showcase for acts that Akroyd and Belushi love. And to give big ups to the supporting crew forming the band who may not normally have been that well known. It got me looking into their stuff and became a big fan of Donald Dunn’s stuff which led me to Booker T and the MGs, Sam & Dave etc. Also John Lee Hooker! Holy cow what an ensemble in that film.

new film is just called Blues Brothers and has a cgi john belushi with a de-aged dan aykroyd and a new crew of 4 blues children who follow in the footsteps of their uncles, elwood and jake edit or more likely, Blues Sisters that is a corporate, cynical film with a milquetoast, outdated, and not actually feminist message Hackers film 1995 fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Mar 16, 2024 |

And yeah, blues brothers is like big Lebowski in that it’s funny, endlessly quotable, and endlessly rewatchable. The first watch you’re just like “what is happening” but the momentum carries it. Best SNL movie by a mile

I love how Blues Brothers goes into absurdity like the end of the nazi car chase all of a sudden the Nazi wagon is at the height of the sears tower after going off an unfinished highway ramp.

But Blues Brothers 1980 is an all-time classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUUyFrHERpU Three minute long scene that is nothing but John Lee Hooker killing it while the cameramen chill around the Maxwell Street Market and its awesome.

Dr. Thoss posted:[b]1. Escape From Area 51 Escape From Area 51 is what you want to frustrate your B-movie loving friends. Modern low budget nonsense on purpose buuuuut it does have the alien menace Sklarr who lights up the screen.  Fatal Exam's an odd one but still a weird enough haunted house movie. Bit slow to get rolling but by act 2 you're hooked. Sadly act 3 and the final payoff are so mangled it lets you down. Characters come and go only to move the plot along in between fun haunted house segments. Still highly recommend though.

Press junket for The Blues Brothers (2025) assures us that it'll get rated a hard R and emphasizes all its practical effects, but all the Nazis get edited out after Twitter trolls doxxed the producers and the Ghost Riders In The Sky effects end up being CGI

its all nice on rice posted:DUNC 2: Bucket Fuckers was a good imax experience. Zendaya does a convincing job of looking disappointed. Those worms go hard. Wanted to see a CGI, toddler, Anya Taylor-Joy stab the Baron like in the book but that's fine. Wondering how much liver Austin Butler ate for his method acting. Never much cared for the DUNC sand worm design. Partly because beaks look cooler (though I can imagine they might've changed it due to graboids or other properties stealing the look) partly because I saw fan art some years back where the sand worms had the look of cooled/cooling magma so they bridged the gap between organism and terrain due to their sheer mass.

Not that it's binding, but the Dune RTS games have always went with more toothy design as well.

That's a combo I think - some of the old art had beaks with the teeth as a sort of baleen inside which is what that seems to be aping. The magma fan art I posted about has a tri-part beak with teeth inside as well.

this almost accidentally crosses the line into brechtian like it feels less like the chase scenes in the original and more like andy samberg falling down the hill in hot rod, where the joke becomes "yes, we actually included this many shots for this one dumb joke, way passed the point of believability" but it doesn't feel intentional, it feels like they were on pure caveman brain "launch more cars!!  "

I watched Citizen Kane last night and while I enjoyed it, I wasn't wowed by it. I assume this is because it was a pioneering movie that did a bunch of poo poo no one else had done up until then. I think it would be like a young person watching The Matrix for the first time. Or maybe I'm just dumb as poo poo??

stephenthinkpad posted:Outside of the car stunts, the most insane thing is they randomly blew up side of a building for a gag. It's like a loving die hard explosion. It was a model comped in behind a matte painting plate of the left side of the cars and the L train. You can see the matte lines a bit easier on repeat viewings, and particularly on the yellow car you can see how the back of the car moves with the explosion, but the left side of the car remains stock still, so the halves become slightly unaligned. https://i.imgur.com/ImxiYq8.mp4
