Jean-Luc Godard : "Je m'étonne toujours du fait que les jeunes cinéastes ne se soient pas emparés du caméscope. Ils préfèrent attendre d'avoir les moyens de tourner en 35 pour débuter... Moi, il me semble que si on avait eu accès au caméscope à l'époque de la Nouvelle Vague, on se serait précipité..." (Studio 156, mars 1995)
@esjesjesj This is a pro-gun, pro-family story with the most masculine male character possible with male military leaders, male protector and a strong female character who is still feminine who learns to re-connect with her maternal feminine instincts.
Couldn't get any further from woke.
@esjesjesj No they wouldn't. Cameron himself has been outspoken about the disease of woke, particularly the woke-era writing and depiction of woman being inherently anti-female.
@DanFriedman81 It's going to hit kids the hardest. Especially lower income families if you can't buy pre-owned games, can't lend off friends & can't trade your game to get another, it's betraying them & cheats them of the childhood experiences of gaming they'd have had. it's vile, brutally sad.
@DanFriedman81 You're an idiot. To the people that love digital and think it's great; It doesn't affect you, it's about others that want to buy physical games, or lend games, buy pre-owned, or sell their games, like low income kids, you monumental selfish idiots that can't see beyond themselves

Bernard Herrmann on the importance of music in movies:
"Interviewer: You once said that music is called upon to supplement what the technicians have done, and mostly what they have been unable to do.
Herrmann: The real reason for music is that a piece of film, by its nature, lacks a certain ability to convey emotional overtones. Many times in many films, dialogue may not give a clue to the feelings of a character. It’s the music or the lighting or camera movement. When a film is well made, the music’s function is to fuse a piece of film so that it has an inevitable beginning and end. When you cut a piece of film you can do it perhaps a dozen ways, but once you put music to it, that becomes the absolutely final way. Until recently, it was never considered a virtue for an audience to be aware of the cunning of the camera and the art of making seamless cuts. It was like a wonderful piece of tailoring; you didn’t see the stitches. But today all that has changed, and any mechanical or technical failure or ineptitude is considered ‘with it’.
Music essentially provides an unconscious series of anchors for the viewer. It isn’t always apparent and you don’t have to know, but it serves its function. I think Cocteau said that a good film score should create the feeling that one is not aware whether the music is making the film go forward or whether the film is pushing the music forward.
Interviewer: Is the composer, in a sense, an actor with a greater range of ‘voices off’?
Herrmann: I always think that film music expresses what the actor can’t show or tell. For example, when Janet Leigh is driving her car in 'Psycho' (1960), all we see is a pleasant young girl driving in the rain with the windscreen wipers going back and forth. From what you see, she might have been going to the supermarket or visiting a friend, but it’s the music that tells you that she has embarked on a very dangerous, horrifying experience. In the very opening of 'Citizen Kane' (1941), the music really tells you what ‘Rosebud’ is. When Kane is dying, all the musical motifs and atmospheres of his childhood are presented and the search for ‘Rosebud’ has really been told to the audience right away. At the end of the film, before the camera discovers the sled, the theme is given out again. And of course it also recurs at key moments of conversation between Kane and all the leading characters."

Michael Jackson “Will You Be There” studio footage. The full version of the song includes a prelude featuring the Cleveland Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus performing a portion of Beethoven’s ninth symphony. The segment is from the fourth movement and is a lesser known portion of the famous “Ode To Joy.”
Jean-Luc Godard on what audience don't like to watch in movies & the one interesting moment in Sam Mendes's "American Beauty" (1999):
"We have to admit that three-quarters of the population wouldn't want to see a film that tells their story. I like to watch people working, but a woman TV host or journalist will never watch herself working for an hour, unless out of egoism or narcissism. I can watch a worker who makes the same gesture over and over again. The worker would be bored to tears if he had to watch himself. People don't want to see their lives, only a little bit of their lives. Americans are very good from that point of view. Everything is done by the viewers, who have just enough of the springboard they need. 'American Beauty' (1999), which was very successful, is not bad in certain respects. If I were a film critic, that's what I would say.
There is one interesting moment in the film. A young boy films his girlfriend. We see the scene in 35 mm from several angles, as well as the shot being filmed by the small camera. Suddenly we see four seconds of 'Faces' (1968). But if you don't show that shot, you have to do something else, what Kazan or Nicholas Ray did. Those are only samples. People like that a lot because they have the time to identify with [the sequence], then you go on to other things, come back, and so on."
