Mierenneuker posted:Recently in a different thread I made the remark that there is the desire that it had been a plot twist to them. People like the movie and you know what would make it even better? If they didn't know that one thing ahead of time. That it would have amazed them. It doesn't really matter what the intent of the script writer, director and marketing department was. I mean the film itself definitely treats it as a twist, regardless of whether the marketing spoiled it or not

Is there an 80s equivalent of the The Long Goodbye - The Big Lebowski - Under The Silver Lake tradition of present-day Raymond Chandler riffs? Closest I can think of is After Dark, My Sweet but that was ‘90.

FilthyImp posted:L.A. Confidential would count, but thats late 90s. Has to be set contemporary to when it was made, and if possible have a time capsule quality like those three do. Lebowski is a little bit of a cheat since it was set in ‘91 and released in ‘98 but close enough Like the ‘00s has Brick, even if I don’t think that movie is in the same league morestuff fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Apr 11, 2020 |

You also get the Chicago accent in a lot of stuff, mostly because character actors from the area were all over 80s and 90s tv and film. (RIP Dennehy.) Southern accents and Texan accents are also two distinct things that might be hard for someone outside the region to pick up on. Then there's African-American English, which isn't tied to a specific area Really though regional accents in the US have flattened out a lot and in most situations language reflecting class tells you more about a character morestuff fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Apr 17, 2020 |

From what I gather Deep Red was originally in Italian, but it's probably worth picking up the DVD anyway. There's a lot of different cuts out there

Leavemywife posted:With that, how do screenwriters and the like get credited? There are uncredited writers and script doctors, but how is it determined who gets the credit? From what I understand if there's any dispute, screenwriters submit drafts and info to the Writers' Guild who convenes a panel to determine credit morestuff fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Aug 24, 2020 |

I can't remember a ton of movies where this a thing, but either way it doesn't really reflect reality. Re-runs existed, especially in summer, but were usually showing current shows. B+W sets were still somewhat common in the early 80s. Local channels, usually in bigger cities, would have horror hosts and late-night movie blocks. But most directors were probably just using public domain material, or wanted to pay homage to older stuff. Sometimes it's for plot reasons, like The Honeymooners in Back to the Future.

Subchannels didn't actually exist until broadcasters switched to the ATSC standard in the late 2000s

I wanted to watch The Hound of the Baskervilles with Peter Cushing, but the version on Amazon Prime seems filmed on video and has TV movie production. I’d chalk it up to a weird Prime labeling thing but it looks like Cushing is also in this version? Was he in two versions of this? Or is that the real movie really this cheap-looking? Maybe I was expecting too much but most Hammer stuff usually looks pretty good Cushing is still great though

I watched Nightbreed last night and assumed it didn’t make much sense because I was watching the famously chopped up theatrical cut, but I guess Prime has the Director’s cut. Is there any logic or explanation in one of the many cuts as to who ends up in Midian? At one point they imply that they’re just monster fairy folk or whatever, then it seems to go by vampire rules, but that one guy shows up there after cutting his face off and dying with no real explanation

CGI definitely made that easier (and Panic Room was an early adopter) but you can see a crude but still stylish take on a similar idea in the North by Northwest credits https://youtu.be/1ON67uYwGaw?si=cPxYjLOdbbii2OrE
