'Ariel'
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.
I read that that scene apparently lasted twelve minutes. I can't believe it actually worked without getting boring and stupid.
There was originally a lot of dialogue written for that scene (all those shots of people talking that you don't hear), but Hitchcock realized it would play better with just the music up until DD's scream.
That Hitchcock knew what he was doing.
I rewatched The Fast And The Furious today. It's the most romantic movie. Not even kidding.
I caught the tail end of XXX last night... which, geez, what a stupid movie! At least without the plot run up, which never helps coherence.
I don't remember exactly what I thought about the movie, but I think I probably liked it well enough. There were hot chicks and explosions.

D's dad will watch any movie as long as it has these two elements.
I feel like I should write an action movie called Hot Chicks and Explosions. Or a period drama.

hee! I see a climactic scene where Helena Bonham Carter and Keira Knightley (in Victorian dress) have a fistfight in a refinery.

And then they both explode?

As the camera pans back and the music (a string quartet) swells.
