So the trailer for Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby is out.

I think the choice of music kind of put me off.

No Church in the Wild is a great pick. The second song? Not so much.

Looks great though, everything is so huge!

I have no idea how they pulled off that "through the car windshield" shot in Evil Dead 2. Apparently the final shot in the first movie was done with Raimi on a motorcycle as he actually drove through the house but the opening shot of ED2 was straight through a car and everything with no cuts.

The fog hides a cut inside the car. Notice how it jumps to the hood pretty fast.

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.

Ya know you're right. This looks more like the Shakespeare movie everyone made in high school to get out of taking the test.

I looked it up, the DP on Much Ado was the director of Kitchen Nightmares and camera operator on Survivor. Seems like this is his first actual film, and hopefully his last.

If I recall, it was filmed over a weekend with an iPhone or some equally lo-fi pseudocamera.

I find this very easy to believe.

This is what Park Chan-Wook can do with an iPhone, for the sake of comparison:

Ughhhh that looks so good, and through some quirk of the makeup this time I don't even mind Benedict Cumberbatch's horrible loving freakish face.

I give WWZ a pass because the Yonkers stuff was really well done, but man do I agree with that 100%.

"Range" is far from the only hallmark of a good actor, and it's actually way less important than most people think. Crafting a magnetic and likable persona is just as challenging.

If anyone is doubting how completely clueless that movie looks, just watch the last 5 seconds of that trailer,

Nothing is given away except for the fact that this movie is going to be awesome.

I hate this movie but that really is one of the best trailers ever. I wish there was a way to find out who cuts those things.

A friend just linked me the trailer for a movie called Snowpiercer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6UmqNuMdY4

And then I read an article that claims Harvey Weinstein is holding back the US release because the director of the movie, Joon-ho Bong, does not agree to cut 25 minutes of the film to make it more "accessible" as Weinstein calls it. So now it can be watched in other countries, but not the USA.

It should also be mentioned that Bong Joon-Ho -- who did The Host, Memories of Murder, and Mother -- is one of the greatest living directors.

I don't think the assumption that thinking they're stupid ugly designs necessary springs from nostalgia, because I don't give a gently caress about the Ninja Turtles and those are stupid ugly designs all the same.

Rocky 4 is awful. The best moment in the Rockys is when he's standing in the arena before the first Creed fight bummed that they painted the wrong color shorts on his banner.

Rocky 3-5 are pretty bad, sure. That doesn't mean they don't contain some of the best parts of all the films though. "Hearts on Fire" is the poo poo.

Ok good point, but Rocky 5's got nothinggggggg.

The trouble with Hot Tub Time Machine is that there was no line in the movie as funny as "I write Star Gate fan fiction, this is my bread and butter" from the trailer.

Really? I guess I'll check them out then, I might as well actually give both of them a shot instead of assuming. I really didn't hear good things about Immortals though it did look visually cool in parts.
