'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
It's amazing what a difference a soundtrack (and very judicial editing) makes.
Amen to that.
Sound and editing are easily the most powerful tools the motion picture industry has. It's pretty phenomenal how easily manipulated all the other pieces are by those two elements.
That is beautiful.
I even searched the thread for "Shining." But since I can't play the thing at work I didn't see it the first time 'round...sorry.
Corwood, sorry! I was at work when you posted it, and my work computer won't play movies, so I appreciated bon bon's reminder to watch it.
Makes me wonder if the air traffic controllers' union got up in arms over "Pushing Tin," it being only the first example to come to mind of a film that portrays people in a certain profession acting less than professionally.
I watched it with my brother-in-law, who at the time managed a control tower, and he was spitting blood.
And yeah, Omar on the stand is just brilliant. "That weren't no attempted murder; I just shot him in the ass, made it hard to sit down".
Bon, Kate, thanks! But I kid. I kid because I love!
Omar on the stand is just brilliant
Y'all've said it and it's absolutely true. One of the highest points of a series full of high points. Another oblique Wire reference: when Bunk and Omar meet to talk in Season Three, the stage direction is almost identical to the way that Steve McQueen and his dad interact at the climax of Peckinpah's Junior Bonner.
I'm gonna have to take your word. Don't really speak Western, bunk.(Which I understand is weird in a wanna-be crime writer, but you know I'm weird, so, big surprise. I don't know if women crime writers feel that same love, though.)
Mike Myers will star as the Who's drummer Keith Moon in an untitled feature being mobilized by Spitfire Pictures. Roger Daltrey is producing with Spitfire's Nigel Sinclair. Bill Gerber also is producing.
Daltrey and Sinclair have worked on the Moon project on and off for about 10 years, but the film will be on a fast track and a director will be set shortly.
Myers last appeared onscreen in "The Cat in the Hat."
Hmm, so apparently an angry mob didn't proceed directly from the theater to tar and feather him after viewing it...
