@hoggridaaaa@HexedDecimal You're right, humans have been writing about love and heartbreak for thousands of years so we've obviously exhausted the subject by now. Poetry is more about what you say than how you say it, after all
@chrismeetworld@tonytost This was weirdly what made it click for me. This shot is intuitive on location with blocking but would sound needlessly complex if discussed around a table in prepro. Half of his magic is just having a team thats down to clown and can pull off any setup on short notice
@sweaskat last night lowk reminded me how I treated you foul n then fumbled my shot.. If we only had 10 seconds on the clock could I get a Kiss in 5 😳?
@Diana_MejiaRios@franzsherbert This feels like a non sequitur? Simulated sex ≠ sex and simulated violence ≠ violence. Nonetheless there is obvious extreme risk to simulating sex in a workplace setting without strict professional protocol. I love having ICs on set, they make my job easier and my work better
@PrimaryCinema Tbh one of the most overused trends in horror rn is framing every shot with tons of headroom to create loneliness, unease, disempowerment. It's become such an uninspired choice, v glad Backrooms didn't go for it too often (sry if this is genuinely just a joke abt the painting)
@cumboy33596823@gay_kyle2 I know exactly what you’re talking about and it rules, I go to different pta movies for different reasons but audacious needle drops are absolutely a signature part of his style
@HowardLeaderman Cmon man the winkys scene is one of the best in his career. The interesting thing is I do think the unaired pilot is genuinely pretty sauceless, but in the film it all works for me. Of course we all would’ve loved to see him make more movies that look like Lost Highway
@HowardLeaderman Sure, but the way the film affects the feeling and language of tv until the reshot third act enters and pulls the rug out from under you also boils down to an intentional and effective formal choice. Just as TP’s soap elements are a feature not a bug.
@HowardLeaderman Should that be inherently disqualifying? Great films often use the form (rhythm & camera) in ways that aren’t conventionally “cinematic”. At the end of the day the mixed media nature works for the story being told. Inland Empire arguably had a more out of the box production style
