There's also a shot early in the movie where they're introducing Angel and he walks down a hallway towards the camera and flashes his badge and ID for us. The picture of his face on the ID is the same exact shot, cropped down to just his face.

MichiganCubbie posted:One of my favorite little moments comes from Inglorious Basterds. In the scene where Landa and Shoshanna are in the restaurant, Landa orders strudel for them both. This is rather innocent. However, before she can take a bite, Landa suddenly remembers that he forgot to order the whipped cream for the topping. He orders it and won't let Shoshanna eat until it comes. We get a heavy-handed shot of the cream being put onto the strudel, and then Landa eats. After watching her eat, he asks her about it, and you see her kinda grimace and swallow. Doesn't he also order her a glass of milk to drink and you see her freak out a little bit?

Unmature posted:Also in Iron Man 3 Tony uses the Mark 1 suit to meet Rhodey at a bar. It's sort of like his shortrange travel suit I guess because it's covered in dings and paint scratches like he just uses it as a beater when he doesn't wanna waste power or something in one of his better suits. You can also notice damage on some of the other suits like the Iron Patriot as the movie progresses. Iron Patriot is covered in dings because Rhodey wouldn't care about his suits paintjob, but Tony's suits are mostly pristine. That might have been his Mk. III, I didn't notice, but wasn't the Mk. I the scrap suit he built in the Afghani cave?

I really get the impression that in Iron Man 3 they used PTSD as a quick script replacement for alcoholism. I know in interviews, a few people on the production have said that Marvel asked them not to include anything about Tony's drinking problems. I get where they're coming from logically; Tony is a hero and having your hero drink to excess could easily come off as glamorizing and not a character flaw. The nerd in me however thinks Tony's drinking problem is a central part of his, admittedly, oft-lovely personality.

Also I've heard that while Kubrick was shooting in 1.33 because he anticipated the home video market, he was framing for 1.66(?) and not even really looking at the dailies in 1.33.

Roger Tangerines posted:I heard it the other way round. Kubrick specifically framed The Shining for 1.33 because he hated cropping and letterboxing on TVs. He wanted to release something that people would be able to watch on TV/home video without problems, but couldn't predict the rise of widescreen TVs. He had to have a 1.85 version for cinematic release - many cinemas wouldn't even be able to screen a regular 1.33 print. So he framed for 1.33 and shot on 1.85. If you watch one of the widescreen versions, you'll notice it if you're looking - there's never anything happening at the edges of the screen because the whole thing is being framed in the smaller box in the centre. No, he shot it so the full frame of 1.33 was appearing on the film and the version released to cinemas was letterboxed from that. That's why in a few shots you can see things like the shadow of the helicopter at the top or bottom of the frame in the full screen version; he was thinking about the wider screen but printing more on to the film so that nothing of his vision would be removed from the TV edit.

It's more difficult for things like cigarettes, drinks and food where the actor has to be shown drinking or eating them, and cigarettes are just always burning down.

The campaign was essentially a failure as they were weakened by long supply lines and a well-stocked British army. During this campaign, Hitler was known to take his trusty metal detector and wander the desert for hours in his official Nazishorts, but all he ever seemed to find were old soda pull-tabs and $0.43 in assorted change.

More specifically what I want to know is how the foreign dubs/subs handle his use of slang. Do they shift into a different dialect? Do they get messy with the grammar? Do they simply use a different accent? Rural or city? How effective are these changes?

I think I heard that the reason it looks vaguely chainmail-ish is because it was selected for someone much smaller than him and he was a last-second recast. I guess it was just super stretched out.

Jedit posted:It's the scene with Michael Caine in Paris. I think it might work better if you just have Alfred sitting down, perspective shot showing two people at another table that just might be Bruce and Selina, cut back to Alfred's eyes opening a little wider and him starting to take a deep breath. End it without explicitly showing Bruce and before he toasts or whatever it is he does there.

MichiganCubbie posted:Everyone knows this scene from Jurassic Park: Considering Spielberg didn't care whether there was a cliff on the other side of the T-Rex fence or a goat, I can't imagine he thought this much about it. The freezer door was open because he wanted it to be open. The raptor slipped because uh oh the freezer's slippery. I love Jurassic Park as much as the next guy, but Spielberg wasn't setting an elaborate puzzle in which pieces were being set an hour of screentime before they came into play. The seat-belt "life finds a way" bit I kind of buy though.

I remember hearing the script supervisor talking about this and telling Spielberg it didn't make sense and his response was basically "too bad." I respect that. He looked at the scene of the trex pushing the car down the road and decided they either couldn't do it with the technology they had or that it just didn't work and made a decision to put the pace and tension of the scene over concerns about whether it made sense spatially. It's a movie about making dinosaurs, issues like geography are less important than making a movie that crates feelings both of awe and terror.

What kind of struck me about Finn is that he was able to wound a loving Skywalker in a lightsaber battle. Like people use that to complain about Kylo Ren being a chump but seriously it was like Finn's second time holding a lightsaber gently caress.

deoju posted:I watched the new Ninja Turtles movie recently. It was a fun distraction. At one point April O'Neil calls Will Arnett's character Vernon. Vernon is in the middle of making a sandwich with just parmesan cheese and yellow mustard. GOB eats the same culinary masterpiece in the 4th season of Arrested Development. I'm confused about where him being named Vernon comes into this. The cartoon had a cameraman named Vernon too, although it was kind of a different character. http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Vernon Also the mustard/parmesan thing from AD was probably a shoutout to Martin Mull, who played Gene Parmesan and also Col Mustard in Clue.
