You can see her last name on the plane ticket in the first movie just fine.

James Bond uses a car phone in...Goldfinger, I think, but I don't know if that counts since they weren't actually around then.

Your Gay Uncle posted:Is the Japanese remake of Unforgiven any good? If you've seen Unforgiven before and you want to watch it again, you might as well go with the Japanese version. It's pretty much the exact same story, just not quite as good. But it gets a bunch of extra points for the uniqueness of the setting. And it actually has spoken Ainu in it, which must be super rare.

When a studio buys the rights to a property, sometimes there's a clause in the contract that if they don't exploit the property within X number of years, the rights revert to the original owner. So say WB wants to make a Sandman movie. They buy the rights from either DC or Neil Gaiman (probably DC) with the caveat that they release a Sandman film theatrically within eight years. If they haven't got something out in that time, then they have to acquire the rights again. But DC, of course, doesn't have to sell them to WB; if Disney makes a better offer, WB is SOL.

When Tim Burton's Batman came out, would Bruce Wayne's backstory have been common knowledge? I ask because it feels like the opening of the movie is supposed to be a fakeout, with a couple and their child walking into a dark alley and getting attacked by criminals. But then the movie treats it as something of a reveal later on when Vicki Vale uncovers the murder of the Waynes. I don't think the Adam West series tackled the murder at all, and that probably would have been the main source of Batman osmosis.

This might be too subjective and too personal to really answer, but the final scene in The Hunt for Red October has always looked really bad to me, and I can't quite figure out why. It's obviously green-screened, but there are other obvious green-screen effects that I have no problem with. It really seems like a terrible effects shot and I can't explain why. Is there anybody who sees what I'm talking about with a more in-depth knowledge of this stuff?

It's been pointed out before that both Aliens and Terminator 2 are, to some degree, essentially remakes of the first movie done in a different style. Also, I never saw it, but when that second RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie came out I remember a lot of reviewers going after it for being the exact same movie.

Hail Caesar was definitely a light movie, but I really enjoyed it. I am continually baffled by Channing Tatum's ever-increasing talent.

franco posted:This may be a hard one to answer, or the answer may just be "it depends", but there are people who work on films around these parts and plenty more who know a lot about behind the scenes stuff, and it's bugging me, so here goes. I can't answer that question specifically, but I used to work for a town that had some fairly big bodies of water and by all accounts they're full of discarded vehicles. There's a road that goes right through the lake basically and maybe once or twice a year somebody will go off the side. If they don't get out divers will recover the bodies but cars are apparently way too much of a hassle and don't cause enough problems with the environment to make it worthwhile to recover them. Even if they reported the car sinking, that would probably be the end of it, less a $500 pollution fine.

I watched Hacksaw Ridge the other day and it got me thinking about large battle scenes in movies. How are largely dialog-free, action-heavy portions of films dealt with in the script? There's definitely a narrative to the sequences of events in Hacksaw Ridge and other movies, but you could narrow down like half an hour of that movie to a bullet pointed list. At that point does a writer just leave it up to the storyboard artist?

I've always worked really weird hours so I end up being one of three people in a theatre at like 9 in the morning on a Tuesday. I highly recommend it.

I remember Ebert blasting the first American Godzilla because there were Siskel and Ebert stand-ins and Emmerich didn't even have the decency to have them get killed by Godzilla.
