caiman posted:This question applies mostly to people who, like me, speak only English. When you guys say out loud the name of a movie with a foreign language title, such as Au Revoir Les Enfants or Le Cercle Rouge (just to name a couple that spring to mind), how do you go about pronouncing them? Do you do your best to say them with the proper accent and pronunciation? When I try doing that I just feel like a pretentious rear end. Unless I could learn to pronounce them flawlessly, I typically say, "that movie with the foreign title I can't pronounce," but then I feel like an uncultured philistine. Always do the comedy stereotype accent, over-enunciating every syllable.

Also anyone who remembers Raul Julia from Street Fighter, The Addams Family and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank should watch Panic in Needle Park because he owns in that. Pacino is also great in his production of Merchant of Venice.

SkunkDuster posted:There was some thread about bad actors or something and somebody mentioned that they felt that Sharon Stone completely ruined Casino. I don't think it was a problem with her acting, but in the character and whole subplot. It seems to me the whole love story could be completely removed and trim an hour of useless crap to cut the movie down from three hours to a more accessible two hour experience. Almost of that stuff was in the book and Gerry (Ginger) was one of the three main characters. Even the way the film is narrated is based on the way the book is narrated. scary ghost dog posted:I once saw a webpage that was just a massive archive of movie commentaries sans picture. You could listen to the commentary by itself, and it was amazing. I have since lost this website and efforts to rediscover it have been fruitless. Can anyone grant my wish to find it again? I have never heard of this but I'd also like to know the answer to this qurstion.

When I rewatched T2 for the first time in maybe like 10 years, I was shocked at the scene where Sarah Connor assaults Dyson's home. It completely comes off as a white power militia fantasy.

They offered Starz 500 mil. It's probably not going to happen. Can't wait for 2012, when every single network has its own subscriber-based streaming content.

SubG posted:I think it hasn't happened, and you just have conditioned blindness to the modern version. In sixty years, the futures of The Matrix (1999), Minority Report (2002), A.I. (2001), Ultraviolet (2006), and so on will be just as glaringly dated as Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956) looks to you today. Sixty years is extremely generous, already the Matrix looks about as gauche as KoRn doing a dubstep album.

hog wizard posted:At the end of Green Lantern, why did Sinestro put on the yellow ring? There has to be a plausible reason besides his name being based off the worst sinister. Because it was a bad movie. The dopey "you already read the comic book" answer is something about jealousy and temptation or something but honestly it's portrayed with no more subtlety there either.

Yeah, you're supposed to believe that the yellow ring that feeds on fear is also supposed to be an incredible temptation but the movie doesn't even acknowledge its crib from Lord of the Rings to do a shorthand for this. It's just a given that you're familiar with these characters and automatically give a poo poo, instead of doing anything to make you care.

Yeah the sound mix being really bad on Birdemic makes it all the more irritating, because if you turn it down for even a second, you'll miss the dialog, which you can barely hear. If you leave it up, you'll have a headache in no time from the incessant cawing and shrieking.

Not quite, the geography of the old house is set up in the first third of the movie to be revisited in the final third of the movie. You're meant to see a connection between the disused furnace and the portal/workshop where Dalton is being held. That reminds me of a great line in Insidious: "What are you talking about? I switched houses for you!"

Yeah, I am thinking specifically of Criminal Intent. Sometimes I watch him on that show and have no idea what he's trying to do with that character. Sometimes it seems like a twitchy Nic Cage thing but other times it seems like he's trying to be Dexter, or something?
