Peaceful Anarchy posted:A quick search through wikipedia lead me to this Marked Men (1919) There may be earlier remakes though. It might not qualify as a remake per se, but the first two adaptations of Frankenstein were made in 1910 and 1915.

Dr. Coffee posted:And an unrelated question, on almost every DVD I have ever watched there is a noticeable pause about half way through the film. It only appears for a fraction of a second but it is still kind of apparent. Any one know what I'm talking about? Most dvds record two layers, one on top of the other, in order to increase the quality. The pause is the laser recalibrating to read through to the second layer. Somehow, manufacturers haven't figured out to hide layer changes between scenes or in other places where they wouldn't be noticed.

Grape The Alex posted:I've been trying to find out if this movie that I'm thinking of is an actual movie or if I'm just making it up -- Jacob's ladder has a man in a gurney in a tunnel and monsters; Silent Hill, based on the video game series that was strongly influenced by Jacob's Ladder, has the air raid siren whenever the monsters come out.

Shnitzel posted:Me and my friend have a bet on whether or not someone gets stabbed in the eye via a microscope in the first Mission Impossible. There is a man wearing goggles that are sending a video transmission, who gets a spike through his face as people are watching the feed (it's in the first 20 or so minutes). No microscope that I can recall though.

Ape Agitator posted:As for Bonnie and Clyde, the 60s were an awesome time and there is a lot of experimentation going on. That covers nearly every facet of filmmaking, including sex. I wouldn't say that Beatty and Dunaway didn't know how to act in a sex scene at the time, more that they were going for a particular immediacy and improvisation to the sex scene so it intentionally comes across unstructured and kind of anti-Hollywood.

I have a real question. What is the source of the quote "The world goes on for millions of years and how long is a man's life? A handful of years and then an eternity under the ground! Why does he have to die almost the moment he's been born?"

Two Finger posted:What exactly defines a movie as a deconstruction of a genre? I've heard of Falling down being referred to as a deconstruction of the angry white man genre, but to me it was just an extremely well-done version of it. I wrote at length about this before on my blog; the conclusion I came to was basically that it comes down to either auteur theory, or whatever interpretation you derive from the work (i.e. the "death of the author") depending on which school of thought you subscribe to. Still, there are some very interesting cases to be considered. For instance, in Se7en, anger and whiteness both play major roles in the plot; however, the cop who is on his last day is black, and it's his partner who's the angry white man - could this be construed as a deconstruction of the tropes of the genre? By contrast, in 8 1/2, Marcello Mastroianni is in a traffic jam (in a dream sequence), and is generally dissatisfied, but not outwardly angry - is this perhaps a prefiguring of AWM before the genre began to take hold in the early to late seventies? It's actually pretty hard to nail down what is and isn't a deconstruction when you consider the origins of the genre. Bad Lieutenant and Taxi Driver are usually considered to be the defining films of AWM, but if you watch them from that context, neither of them actually fulfill most of the criteria - Harvey Keitel's character isn't so much angry as conflicted most of the time, and Travis Bickle's better tirades are mainly directed inwardly, or spoken when he's alone. It's also interesting to note that if you were to overlook 'white', probably the quintessential AWM actor of this decade is Denzel Washington. If that's the case then his entire resume could be considered a deconstruction of the genre (Man on Fire, John Q., American Gangster, etc).

The release rights for a single movie might be owned by different distributors for each market. Region locking helps make sure that only the company that owns the rights within a region is selling to that region.
