QuoProQuid posted:I just watched The Shining and I've got a two questions: I haven't read the book myself but I'm told that in it Tony is Danny communicating with himself from the future using the Shining. He goes by Tony because his full name is Daniel Anthony or something like that. Which is an alright twist but I like the movies approach of not explaining at all it's much more satisfying.

Pretty much every shot in Evil Dead where you don't see the actors faces used so called Fake Shemps instead of actors. Instead of paying an actor for a shot where he doesn't really do anything Sam and Rob would just dress someone, sometimes themselves, sometimes someone else from the crew but mostly Ted Raimi Sam's kid brother, in the actors clothes thus saving a lot of money that would otherwise been wasted on wages.

Keaton was pretty much the best. I'm not that much for slapstick but something about his totally stoic deadpan expression never breaking no matter what he goes through just really cracks me up.Bongo Bill posted:In both "The Thief of Bagdad" and "Metropolis," the film begins and ends with an explicit statement of the ostensible moral of the story, which also appears as a dialog intertitle at some point. Was this a very common practice in silent films of the 1920s? Someday I want to make a vampire movie that starts with the words: "Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks." - Karl Marx Of course the vampires will be a thinly veiled allegory for capitalism and all the characters will be defined by their class like in the Soviet Montage films.

MadScientistWorking posted:Wasn't that the plotline to Daybreakers? Pretty much. But what I had in mind is basically Daybreakers if it was pure agitprop about characters from the working classes banding together to kill the capitalists with the power of communism. Like if Eisenstein's Strike had been a vampire B-movie.

Titicut Follies comes to mind. It's a documentary from 1967 about the conditions at the Bridgewater State Hospital for the criminally insane. It's all fly-on-the-wall footage that uses editing to create context instead of a narrator or talking heads. It's really depressing in parts.

I like the one with a monotonic British narrator that heavily implies that Courtney Love had Kurt killed and threw El Duce from the Mentors under a train for telling people she tried to hire him to orchestrate Kurt's death.

That paper is very good but seems to suggest that the Icelandic draugar are always walking corpses which isn't really the case. Most draugar aren't even corporeal and limited to driving people insane, appearing in peoples dreams or just making odd noises in the dark instead of beating them to death, dragging them into graves and possibly drinking their blood. Also wrestling them into submission then decapitating and burning them isn't always the correct solution. Sometimes you might have to carve a magical rune into some leather or wood, put blood on it and recite a spell while spitting all over the place. The usual and fool-proof way of dealing with draugar is however is to yell insults at them if they as much as look at you funny. It's almost as if folklore isn't very big on consistency sometimes.

I love Italian movies that try to bait people by using the same name as some famous movie except with some number behind it to fool people into thinking it's a sequel. Like how Bruno Mattei's Aliens ripoff Shocking Dark (AKA Alienators AKA Contaminator) was called Terminator II in some countries.

Sometimes you might want to have the characters use some sort of brand product to make things seem more 'real' but the company might not be interested in paying to have their product or logo show up in your movie for some reason, maybe if you're making something like Chainsaw Scumfuck part III: Revelations and they don't want to be associated with that or something, so if you want to be allowed to use it you might have to pay. I think one of the commentaries for Shaun of the Dead mentions that the scene where they turn on the tv but all the channels are just broadcasting their logos and some text about technical difficulties was one most expensive scenes in the entire film because of all the money spent on clearing the various logos. Repo Man avoided this problem rather cleverly by having all the products be ultra-generic:

The film making industry is probably the most unionized part of the private sector in America. So most people get decent benefits and wages. You have to remember that even the jobs that seem really simple have to be done over and over and over again for 12+ hours a day.

The real Henry Hill was eventually dropped from witness protection because he kept getting back into contaxt with old buddies and/or comitting crimes. He seems to think that not being a gangster, even just for a while, is a fate worse than death.

The first trailer was some badmen robbing a bank and flying away in a helicopter only for it to suddenly stop in mid air. The camera then zoomed out revealing it to be stuck in a giant web between the Twin Towers. It was rad.

It's not exactly a reboot. It's by the same director as the old films and is meant to be set somewhere between them. It was originally meant to be a Unforgiven style "Old man looking back at his violent life and getting drawn back into it" film starring Mel Gibson but somehow morphed into what is basically one long feature length car chase. I suspect Mel going a bit crazier might have something to do with them casting another younger actor in his place.

It sort of neuters the point of the source material by making V into a vaguely liberal hero instead of a explicitly anarchist maniac and making the Nazis, who were cruel but very human in the comic, into what basically amounts to mustache twirling villains. In the film the head Nazi is called Adam Su It's also not nearly as good at glorifying terrorism as Battle of Algiers or Carlos or Baader-Meinhof Complex.
