I was watching Brian De Palma’s Redacted (2007) when about 20 minutes in I had a power cut. Didn’t realise for about 2 minutes, I thought the sudden cut to black was De Palma making a great statement about the media’s silence and complicity in war crimes…

[Arkady @saxifrage2127]

Does anyone have any more examples

[Dom Dillinger @Domofginger]

Ideally retains the theatrical cut’s opening but adds the director’s cut’s ’In the Air Tonight’ needledrop during the finale…

God Clint…

[𝓢𝓵𝓪𝓶 👁️⃤ @slamwontmiss]

Tim Robbins explains why Clint Eastwood’s famously minimal takes should actually be the standard in Hollywood.

Josh Horowitz: “Clint is so famous for the minimal amount of takes.”

Tim Robbins: “We were out every day. We started at 9 and were out by 2.”

Josh Horowitz: “It shouldn’t even be allowed. How is that possible?”

Tim Robbins: “It should be allowed, and it should be encouraged. It’s about discipline. We knew Clint was only going to give us one take. He usually had three setups per scene, one take each, so we had three chances. We came in ready and disciplined. After we got off at 2, we’d look at the next day’s schedule and rehearse in the hotel so we were ready. All the great actors in that film bought in completely.”

“Usually, movies aren’t shot in order, so you’re scrambling to remember what emotional state or intensity you had in a scene you’re shooting a month later.”

“With this one, you didn’t have to catalog it in your memory. I knew exactly what I did, so I knew how to modulate my performance from beginning to end.”

“It also gave us a chance to get sleep and have meals together. This is how it was when I did episodics in L.A. in the ’80s. Crews could get home at night and see their families or, if you were young, go on a date after working on a movie set.”

The new trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series has been released.

Adds a wonderful further complication to the claims Camp Miasma is too didactic and on the nose in its rendering of meaning through references…

[Dom Dillinger @Domofginger]

Incredible…

[Ray Blanchard @BlanchardPhD]

People online have made many wacko statements about me, but this one is great: “The original Camp Miasma movie was directed by Ray Blanchard. Yes, that Ray Blanchard, the infamous sexologist maybe most known for creating the backwards and misogynistic transsexual typology and the concept of ‘autogynephilia’: the belief that women attracted trans women experience sexual arousal by the idea of becoming or being women.”

I have never had the slightest connection to the movie business in any capacity: director, producer, actor, set designer, writer, stunt man, or anything else.

There is a reason the two shots that precede the centrepiece heist of Heat are of Amy Brenneman and Ashley Judd. Mann’s female characters are integral to the narrative and his depiction of masculinity…

[Justin🦩Boldaji @justinboldaji]

Michael Mann’s female characters are just as important as his male characters, the deep romance of his movies is what makes the action and machismo hit harder. You miss that you miss his entire body of work pretty much

@BrndnStrssng Roel Reiné would have this out by April…

[Dom Dillinger @Domofginger]

What she describes as her approach to acting is literally method acting, open the schools!

[best of anya taylor-joy @anyafolders]

Anya Taylor-Joy about method acting:

"If you'll notice, women don't method act because we have things to take care of, so we can't completely lose our minds. I see acting as a controlled psychosis in a way. You're pretending to be somebody else and having their thoughts 16 hours a day, and moving like them, in their house, in their clothes. It's like having a sister or a roommate check in up here [in my mind] for a little bit. And I'm just very grateful that the people in my life understand that and know that. Sometimes if it gets out of hand, they'll call me by the character name and they'll be like "we need to check in again". But I can't imagine keeping it up all the time because again, you're going to work with hundreds of people and it is your responsibility to be good to them and to help them do their best job. If you're too invested in being an asshole then that's not gonna be very fun."

Ah Shakespeare, famously always adapted with fidelity to Elizabethan England…

[Eleven @Eleven__11XI]

A genuine question for those defending every casting decision in The Odyssey…

If someone adapted Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and completely reimagined the nationality, appearance, or traditional portrayal of several iconic characters…

Would you still say:

“The best actor should always get the role.”

Or would you suddenly start talking about staying faithful to Shakespeare?

That’s why this debate fascinates me.

Should we judge every classic by the same standard…

Or do we only defend creative freedom when it’s our favorite director

do you have a favourite quote from anybody on jackass? if so, share it!

[Dom Dillinger @Domofginger]

This is the widely accepted opinion, so yes…

[alania @ollimaciid]

now that jackass is over is it safe to say jackass 2 is the best one out of the franchise….

[Dom Dillinger @Domofginger]

Favourite part of this is Michael Owen not seeming to understand the concept of a compilation album…

[Shar A 🫡 @Shar_A_]

Michael ‘I don’t like music or films or anything’ Owen’s take on the Beatles is genuinely quite hilarious 😆

He really is a teabag of a man.

Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.

He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”
