I remembered hearing about Fatty Arbuckle having a cameo after his "scandal": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_(1923_film) And turns out: "The film has become famous as having featured cameos of more than thirty famous Hollywood stars. However, the film is now considered a lost film." Odds are this is not the first example, but 1923 is good to start with, no? Edit: I just realized that Silent Movie ('76) is probably an ode to that type of movie, because beyond being silent it has a lot of cameos.

I just saw The Color of Money last week, and it's a surprisingly bad movie considering the talent involved.

I don't think it's a "bad" movie, but it's just not great, and I'm sure a lot of the  reaction is aided by Newman winning an Oscar for what was pretty clearly a lifetime achievement award and not on the basis of this performance. That said, the direction from Scorsese and camerawork in this is one of my favorites from all of his movies.

As a big fan of location shooting in old bars, restaurants, pool halls, malls, and stores, I think The Color of Money rules.

When I first saw The Color of Money I didn't really know who Martin Scorsese was and it was an amazing film, now that I've seen more of his stuff I kinda feel like saying "Really? you couldn't try harder on this?" But it's still got excellent performances by an older Paul Newman and a very young Tom Cruise, so I'm calling it good.

I hadn't realised how often Newman had been nominated before he actually won. Pretty close to another guy who's Oscar was a pretty obvious career award, Al Pacino. Surprised he didn't get a nomination for The Sting. Everything else about that movie did.

Easy Rider: The Ride Back  quote:According to this article in the Springfield News-Sun, the road to Easy Rider: The Ride Back began with Pitzer learning that the sequel/remake rights to Easy Rider were up for grabs, then suing Easy Rider producers Bob Rafaelson and Bert Schneider to, in the article’s words, “stop them from claiming they still owned the rights.”

Do actors (generally) release pictures of themselves to studios? I'm on my third movie where someone looks at a photo of themselves back in the day, and some of them don't look edited.

yooo I posted this in general before someone guided me here, so I'll just copy and paste my question there's an old movie--probably a horror movie, possibly a foreign film?--with a really batshit insane scene where there's a giant... like, face wall, just this huge loving mouth with a big tongue hanging out and a woman proceeds to make out with it. Like, fairly explicitly, I vaguely recall seeing some titty. ...But it's with a big WTF wall face monster so it's less sexy and more disturbing. I never watched the whole movie all the way through, I just caught the scene in gif form one time, looked up what movie it was, and then promptly forgot but discussing body horror (specifically mouths where there shouldn't be mouths) with a friend of mine made me remember it but it's obscure as hell and nothing I'm googling is bringing it up. Anyone have any ideas?

Is there a reason for variable quality in digital projection? Like, I'm given to understand it's all a single file stored in a drive on-site, and 4k resolution is usually indistinguishable from film on a big screen, and yet every so often I'll notice a shot in a movie that looks a bit more "digital" than others, lower resolution somehow. Heck I noticed it on the end credits of A Star Is Born- the diagonals on the letters had a blocky pixellated quality. Is there an actual reason for inconsistency, or am I just crazy?

Most releases are 2k, which isn't much more than 1080p. Not sure that's the case with A Star Is Born, though. It'd be weird if the fonts weren't anti-aliased, though. Maybe they weren't. As for shots that look 'digital', resolution isn't all there is to film vs video, and it's probably one of the smaller factors as opposed to things like whether a DV camera's shutter speed is emulating film or not. You could notice that Apokalypto was shot on video while watching it on a VHS on an old CRT television because of the amount of motion blur in it's chase sequences. edit: A Star Is Born is 2k https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1517451/technical. Maybe an upscale to 4k went awry in the file or projector cause that usually ends up smooth enough. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Oct 8, 2018 |

Also, bitrate matters (how many bits are used to encode each second of film). DCP has a max rate of 250Mbps for 4K, Netflix is said to use 16Mbps for their 4K content. Lower bitrates will be blurrier and choppier. Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Oct 9, 2018 |

Are there any Iranian horror films that were actually shot in-country, at least since the revolution? The closest I know of are A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night and Under the Shadow, both of which I like but are Iranian-language films shot in other countries.

The single take film Fish & Cat (2013) is the first one that comes to my mind, even though it is lacking in human gore. Does not seem readily available, I'm afraid.

Yeah I think it's pretty common in movies where a character looks at an old family photo of themselves as a teenager or whatever to just use an old photo of the actor. No movie in particular is popping into my head right now, but I know I've seen it many times.

In The Gold Rush (1925) how did they do the trick to make it seem like Chaplin was jumping out of the cabin at the end before the (model?) cabin fell over the cliff? Was it double exposure, an early greenscreen thing...?

He used more camera tricks than you'd expect, especially on The Gold Rush since most of it was shot in the studio.

Conversely, it's the 1920's and Chaplin so it's just as likely he really almost died.
