Robert Denby posted:The Skyfall teaser is out. Personally I found it a little underwhelming, especially given that the last two so effectively built up hype. I liked it. Especially the gun shots matching the drum beat. That Red Eye trailer was really creepy and well done. Ive heard about that one but only saw the one presenting it as a thriller first

Paul Thomas Anderon's The Master gets a trailer (teaser? Whatever, it's finally here!) and it is hypnotic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oZDKFoCqAw

As far as trailers go that have an obvious attunement to the sensibilities of the director(s) themselves, one of my all-time favorites has to be for A Serious Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FYtprwg1As The looping audio track does such a wonderful job of simultaneously creating a sense of anxiety, humor, and rising interest. By the end of the trailer I always have to remind myself that the beat that I'm keeping is the sound of Larry Gopnik's head hitting a chalkboard. You can't ask for more in a trailer. kaujot posted:Paul Thomas Anderon's The Master gets a trailer (teaser? Whatever, it's finally here!) and it is hypnotic. If PTA can squeeze that performance out of Joaquin Phoenix, I can't wait to see what he does with Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think this is a movie we will all talk about for a long, long time.

I was watching X-Men: First Class on TV the other day and I was reminded of the submarine trailer they flooded the airwaves with. While I can understand the studio wanting a big dramatic/showy moment to showcase it still had the problem of completely undermining Magneto's arc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxs4P6u1EiI This trailer for a re-release of The Rules of the Game is really well done. It throws out huge names praising it, then tells the audience that it was banned by the Nazi's, which makes people want to see it more. It is also tightly edited with the music.

It is the music and the haunting look of Joaquin Phoenix that really sells it ( and, well, the fact that it is a new movie by Paul Thomas Anderson, who is one of my favorite directors ). Amazing. I always thought of Phoenix as a really good actor, too, so I can't wait to see what Anderson squeezes out of him.

Then again, it was in high school when everyone was saying "This is the greatest movie ever made, ever!" And even though I know the movies are utter crap, the trailers for Twister and Pearl Harbor still send a chill down my spine.

Too true, but Boogie Nights is almost 15 years old now, both PTA and Philip Seymour Hoffman have improved their trades by leaps and bounds since then (even since Magnolia). I wonder if There Will Be Blood will be considered something of a turning point in PTA's career (could also just be two movies filled with dread and scored by Jonny Greenwood, we'll see!)

"Yay Spaceships? Yay Spaceships!" is what does it for me. Anyway, here is the weirdest trailer I've ever seen for a major studio release, and to cap it all of it has Laurie Anderson as the background music.

So the trailer for Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby is out. http://youtu.be/OULhlaX6JY4 I think the choice of music kind of put me off.

I guess I kind of ignored it the first time I heard it was Baz Luhrman, but I have to say that looks absolutely abysmal. I think his skills were well suited to Romeo and Juliet, which has also seen so many different adaptations that it doesn't seem like a huge sin to gently caress certain parts of it up anymore, but The Great Gatsby definitely deserves a more subtle touch. I'm sure DiCaprio will be as good as always, but there seems to me a really jarring disconnect between the voice in my head when I read Fitzgerald's prose, and what Luhrman puts on the screen.

penismightier posted:No Church in the Wild is a great pick. The second song? Not so much. Funny, I feel exactly the opposite. "No Church" just feels really disconnected, while "Love is Blindness" just nails the tone. quote:Looks great though, everything is so huge! I'm simultaneously frightened and excited to see this one in 3D because...seriously, GOOD GOD. The first 10 minutes of Australia left me completely punch drunk, I can't imagine being assaulted by that kind of imagery in 3D.

I always think of "Gatsby" as being a small, subtle book, so seeing that trailer is very jarring. I'm a bit intrigued. They really seem to be duplicating that sickly-green two-color Technicolor look (which was also duplicated in "The Aviator").

If I remember, back when this movie was first announced, Luhrmann was quoted as saying that he wanted to use this movie to turn a mirror on today's society and say "You've been drunk on money." So in that respect, he seems to be on his way to hitting that mark by really pressing the decadence of the period. I somehow made it through high school without reading Gatsby, though. (Which I might be grateful for if we didn't read bullshit like The Light in the Forest instead. Seriously, motherfuck that book.) So I don't know if that approach is all that true to what Fitzgerald was going for.

That sure was Baz Lurhman's Gatsby. I liked it but I don't think it can convince anyone already opposed to Gatsby in 3D or directed by Luhrman.

Maybe it's just me, but subtle and Gatsby aren't really related in my head. I know I've said this elsewhere, but Luhrmann might be the best person to make this movie. Those party scenes are going to be so over the top they'll be perfect, and the 3D makes absolute sense to me.

kaujot posted:Paul Thomas Anderon's The Master gets a trailer (teaser? Whatever, it's finally here!) and it is hypnotic. I'm late for Masterchat but this trailer's got my rear end in the seat. Every little clip has a sense of mystery--what the hell's he sharpening? Why's he making a sand-nipple? What's that liquid?--which, when combined with the voiceover, lends on uneasy quality to the whole thing. I don't understand why any of it is happening, or how, and I cannot wait to find out. Joaquin looks loving amazingly haggard and somewhat deranged, too; I didn't even recognize him at first. I'm not a big Gatsby or Luhrmann fan, but the combination of the two is a little too perfect.

I'm not completely sold on DiCaprio as Gatsby, but Carey Mulligan as Daisy is excellent, and I'm particularly digging Tobey Maguire as Nick. He's got that perfect oblivious, chummy look.

Wow The Great Gatsby looks incredible! I agree with DivisionPost, No Church in the Wild doesn't fit (it doesn't help I've always disliked that song) but Love is Blindness by Jack White is great. Especially in that shot where DiCaprio is screaming. For some reason I had it in my mind that Scorcese was doing this production, and seeing Baz Luhrmann and the visuals really threw me for a loop. bows1 fucked around with this message at 12:26 on May 23, 2012 |

At first I thought he looked a little too gruff for the socialite setting, I can just hear him growling "OLD SPORT" at a terrified Nick. I think I'm just having trouble divorcing it from some of his other recent roles, and he's definitely growing on me. A couple of the shots in the trailer where he's all collected and stylish are definitely all Gatsby, but the ones where he's growling or shouting aren't selling it for me. Gatsby always seemed more subdued than that to me.

Back in WWII, the torpedoes would be fueled by an ethanol mixture, so sailors would sneak into the "holding room" and drain some of the fuel to mix into cocktails called "torpedo juice." Because it was fuel though, they were drinking literally 180 proof grain alcohol  Yucky.

It looks like an interesting adaptation. I like that it seems like the director is kind of taking it his own direction stylistically a bit instead of trying to make a serious duplicate of the book and its settings and character descriptions. I liked that the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg were there too! The music choice at first seems jarring but the use of more modern music is used for grounding. It's saying, "These people are living in a different time, but they are actually pretty similar to us." It doesn't really give you much information about what the story is about though. But how would you make a movie trailer for a story like The Great Gatsby? I've been thinking about this since I saw the trailer this morning and can't really come up with any compelling ideas. It's really not a narrative that you can introduce easily in a 2 minute trailer.

I really enjoyed the trailer. The set pieces look absolutely fantastic, and so do the visuals in general. I'll agree that Leo is throwing me off from Gatsby a bit, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Mulligan and McGuire look perfect, though, and I'm really happy to see Joel Edgerton getting more work. I think he'll be able to pull off Tom really well. All in all, I'm very excited. Gatsby is one of my favorite books.

It's a good introduction to the window dressing that frames the narrative, and underscores the themes. I'm torn. On one hand the style, pedigree, casting, and source material all have the confidence of a masterwork, but on the other the trailer seems a little too assured that we'll already find it brilliant because of the source material which I personally don't think is the case.

It doesn't give away a whole lot of the story, but you know what you're gonna get into when you go see it. edit: I just watched the trailer again, and the beats it really hit are "Who is Gatsby?", the affair between Gatsby and Daisy, the lavish parties, and beautiful shots of 1922 New York City. Also, this is the kind of role DiCaprio should be taking. He's such a good actor, but every once in a while he takes a role that just makes me go "What are you doing?" Like J. Edgar. He needs to be doing stuff like this, right up his alley. Yoshifan823 fucked around with this message at 21:02 on May 23, 2012 |
