Truancy-Bot posted:I'm assuming it's because the "trailer voice over" stereotype has been parodied so heavily in popular culture in the past decade or so, to the point where audiences no longer take it seriously. Also the most well known trailer V.O. guy died.

That really is an expensive version of The Raid with a hilarious bonus of the supercop using white phosphorous on civilians.

I think he's just saying that that's clearly what he says, Plainfield is the name of a town (every state has one probably) and New Jersey is the name of a state.

Usually Hollywood is pretty gun-shy about retrying a failed idea (The Brothers Grimm) and this looks easily as bad so who knows what the thinking was behind this.

penismightier posted:Jesus Christ if anyone ever was born to film average television, it's Joss "eh this set-up is probably ok" Whedon. That's the sloppiest black and white I've seen outside of a student film, ever. Yeah. I hate that it's become such a cliche to dismiss the "tv-ness" of Whedon's productions but his directing style is so uninteresting. It's unfair to compare it to TV almost, the average Law and Order SVU episode looks better (to be fair they're expensive as hell to make). It doesn't look as good as commercials, it's like barely as good as the typical Hallmark Channel movie.

It's like the only trick he's learned is shot-reverse shot. Not every single scene needs to be a head-on, flat close up of someone talking, or two people side by side symmetrically filling the frame. It's so unimaginative.

I feel like saying that despite (or maybe because of) the show being extremely formulaic, Kitchen Nightmares is actually pretty well shot, and since reality shows are so aggressively edited you could probably learn all the camera setups and movement you could care to learn on Survivor. I blame Whedon.

BonoMan posted:Kitchen Nightmares is definitely better shot than other shows. They have pretty decent B-Roll shots. However they also typically have good color grading that maybe offsets the "Reality show footage" of it. It typically gives it more of a cinematic feel. This, of course, can't benefit from that unfortunately. I'd definitely agree, except Kitchen Nightmares U.K. looked way better and was a much less rigid and formulaic show. But yeah, I would think shooting commercials, music videos or reality shows is like a crash course in how to film something.

I am hugely biased against the book so I'm tempted to just say the trailer looks a million times better than whatever a "real" adaptation of the book would be.

Deadpool posted:Just because you hated the book doesn't mean that makes the movie look good. I read it years ago and barely remember it. The trailer could be taken right from the book and I'd have no idea. Whether it is or isn't close to the book doesn't change the fact that it looks rather terrible. You should read what I wrote. I said I was tempted to say it looked great just to spite the book but I don't care that much. I do like a lot of the anthill/human tide imagery.

The reason that books like Studs Terkel's "Working" and Mischa Glenny's "McMafia" are excellent books is because they're impeccably researched, giving the interview subjects respect to tell their stories in the former and the willingness of the author to immerse themselves in actual research to translate into "creative nonfiction". Apply this to Mark Bowden, or whoever else you're familiar with or prefer reading. Now take all that away, and instead use glib stereotypes to tell your sweeping journalistic epic. It's like a Thomas Friedman book about zombies.
