Ghost Leviathan posted:Didn't get that the subplot of Spider-man 2 where Peter's finding his powers aren't working is meant to be an allegory for erectile dysfunction, ha. Or at least has been compared to such. Don't really follow spiderman but isn't he like a contract photographer earning the shittest pay or something living in new york? Can he even afford to go see a doctor?

I mean bond continuity is pretty arbitrary and based off just works with the movie and that seems to be the best way to go. Like there really doesn't actually seem to be a reason to come down one way or another. Everyone knows what a bond film is, no need to complicate things.

I'd say some TV shows have soft of taken up that style of comedy. At least they'd be closer in style of joke delivery than any movie now days. None will beat The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! obviously. Edit: Pope Corky the IX posted:Also David Zucker is one of those people that went hard right after 9/11 and ended up making poo poo like An American Carol. Offf. that hurts to read.

HopperUK posted:Watching Zootopia. Nick's filled-out police application. Under the 'have you ever been arrested' segment he's ticked 'yes' and then scribbled it out and ticked 'no'. Although that can be bacause those jokes are so good, but it can be because the rest of the movies drek and the only people with a good sense of humour working on the movie are the ones making the props.

BIll and Teds Excellent Adventure was going to be a very serious Cinema Verite style doco about two teens and how they typically spend there nights hanging outside their local Circle K, but than one night Rufus just suddenly showed up and the film makers followed them on their excellent adventure. The rest is history!

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Tangentially related, in the Dresden Files book series, there are multiple types of vampires, called "courts". Dracula was a black court vampire, and it is specifically said that all the black court vsmpires are gone because Bram Stoker wrote the book to be a guide on how to kill them, leading hunters to have the information needed to do it effectively. Bram Stoker just wanted to kill the black court vampires? Racist.

Yeah I mean Fury Road always gets brought up about that sort of stuff, but it's for very good reasons. It looks to tell a really simple story and just does it really, really well. Character motivation is always very clearly established, and stuck to. If character motivation changes it shows why, and often often shows the development over time. Everything is just really clear and well done. Honestly I wouldn't call Fury Road a subtle move at all, just a really well done one, that respects characters far more than typical Hollywood garbage. Also you can loving tell what the hell is actually happening in the actions scenes (as well as being amazingly shot and executed). gently caress Bay poo poo blurly moving randomly on screen, so you don't know what's happening to characters you don't care about.

the holy poopacy posted:Also interesting and meaningful things happen in action scenes, which progress the plot and help tell the story themselves. Yeah also this. It's a movie with a lot of blatant excess, but you could tell how much, love, care, and thought went into everything. And it is easy to see that in a lot of other action movie classics. Aliens, Predator, Die Hard, Terminator 2. At core very simple movies -slightly less T2, but only slightly- but Characters mattered, and actions scenes progressed the plot and helped developed those characters. So many

lol just remembered about all the mens rights dickheads getting salty at Fury Road as they thought Furiosa got to much screen time and Max didn't do enough in the movie. Just such a deep, deep self own. Also using the scene where max has that one fight at night in the distant than comes back with a pile of guns and a boot for nox, as an example of how "THEY DIDN'T EVEN SHOW MAX BEING A BAD rear end" as an example of this. Like how the gently caress do you even get negative media literacy like that? Honestly the only bad things about Fury Road, is that barely any later actions movies seem to of learned any lessons from it. As someone just mentioned it's literally a masterclass on how to make a brilliant action movie, but following it, for the mainstream stuff at least, we seemed to go deep into Marvel dreck. At least the Wick films were fun. Edit: for subtle movie moments, the importance of boots to Nox. Think someone did a youtube film essay about it? -Maybe Ellis when she was still doing them?- Just subtly showing character motivations and relationships and what not. Max just grabbing him that boot with the other stuff, is a great subtle way of showing how their relationships changed. dr_rat has a new favorite as of 00:40 on Oct 13, 2023 |

Amphigory posted:People who've only seen one competent movie in their whole life Kramering in to the thread: Lol, just going to bring up the Breaking the Waves and how the Dogme 95 Rules and Manifesto can be used as examples of how recent hollywood blockbuster can more focus on characters stripping away a lot of the artfical production of film leading to mor realistic portrays. This even includes editing, which can add in artifact, so if we go back to the soviet montage and Sergei Eisenstein works of.... Ya drat nerd, bring up better examples for the discussion or Shhhhhh. Edit: like this: Android Apocalypse posted:I just rewatched No Country For Old Men and I loved that instead of having a massive gun fight for a climax, Llewelyn was killed off screen. And yeah, he'd kept his guard up the whole movie, than the second he lets it down, we just don't even need to see the result at the point in the movie. Great use of not needing to show something. dr_rat has a new favorite as of 00:59 on Oct 13, 2023 |

Mr. Grapes! posted:Mad Max is great because even the excessive nonsense actually makes sense. And part of why there is just so much to the world maybe because Miller was working on it for a massively long time. I mean why it was pulled off so well was care and talent, but yeah, it was a project that was worked on a lot. Also, just want to put a shout out to Margaret Sixel, the editor. God drat is it not a most brilliantly edited movie.

I thought at some point Bethesda just said, yeah there was another place making FEV on the east cost. Possibly in 76? Edit: Just quickly skimmed some random Fallout wiki. Apparently there's at least four strains. Two military ones, one institute one, and one west-tek one. So I guess when Bethesda want Super mutants somewhere they shouldn't be they just make up a new strain.  (This is also apparently "why" they look different and have varying levels of intelligence in different games). dr_rat has a new favorite as of 15:36 on Apr 17, 2024 |
