Og Oggilby posted:There's similar motifs in other films. The original Scarface had the appearance of "X" shapes before a character (or characters) got the works. Scorsese lifted this for The Departed (and just as cleverly implemented). The Departed/Scarface thing sounds pretty interesting, do you have screenshots or can you tell me where to find them in the movie so I can check them out?

A friend of mine lives in China and she needs to do a report about movies produced in Hollywood about China or Chinese people over the past hundred years. Does anyone know where I can find a list of movies like this? Thanks a lot.

Does anyone know of any movies, or scenes that are shot in first person? My friend wrote a script from completely first person and is looking for ideas on how to shoot it. Clips of the scenes would be great, but if not just the names and we can rent them. P.S. something besides Being John Malcovich.

Criminal Minded posted:Sessions tipped Gittes off to the water scandal by pointing out the obituary column which leads Gittes to notice that a whole bunch of real estate is being bought in the names of dead or retired people. Presumably she was murdered by Mulwray or his flunkies. As for who called Gittes, I'd guess the same people, as sort of another warning not to gently caress with them. There's also the possibility that they wanted him caught in the house when the detectives showed up, so they could've been springing a trap. I thought that The cops who were waiting in the bathroom/closet called him because his number was written above the phone and they wanted to see who it was.

So a friend just told me he saw an awesome trailer that was like a commercial that would be shown in the world of the movie. It was advertising a bomb shelter like it would a vacation. Any ideas?

I remember being 9 years old and getting dropped off at the theater, my mom suggested Austin powers cause it was "some spy movie". I went and saw it alone and thought it was possibly the best movie ever made.

MisterBibs posted:I have a love/hate relationship with that movie. Making movies is fun, but the game is about making successful movies can be mildly-to-significantly annoying. Or they build a miniature of the skyline and rig it with little bulbs in the windows that they turn off. Just like the cityscapes in Blade Runner etc. Im sure now its all CGI

When there is 3/4 production companies in the credits, who did the majority. Is someone giant like village roadshow in the financing distributing parts while the smaller ones are more creative producers? Help me understand!

therattle posted:There is no hard and fast rule but presentation credits are usually taken by financiers and distributors and production credits by companies who helped actually make the film. For example, making up some credits: Thanks! Im trying to find Creative/Production companies to apply to more than Financing production companies so this helps.

Lighting could be a factor, so the other actors head doesn't block the light source. I haven't seen the scene though so just going off experience.

It's not surprising to me at all that their opinion was not shared by others, but that's why my original commend was phrased as a question. HAahahhaa jesus.

Snapchat A Titty posted:And he "wins" and is rewarded for his incredibly hosed up behaviour. It's like Revenge of the Nerds basically. If a character does a majorly hosed up thing and is rewarded for it – with no commentary (like in Nightcrawler where the movie itself tells us that he is despicable) – then the movie basically condones their actions. Are you saying Nightcrawler condones his actions? Can a movie not show a slice of a hosed up characters life without condoning? I think you have to be able to leave it up to the audience at some point; even if the main reading is incorrect. Just like Wolf of Wall Street

EL BROMANCE posted:With 4K passive 3D, the only drawback to home 3D is the screen size now at least. And the fact the films rarely seem to go on sale. I don't think they suffer from the darkening that you get in the theater either, which is good. I have an active 3D Tv that's 60" and it looks good. But I've only watched two and never thought of it again.
