Hey there. Our pitch video is up now. The link is here in this post: https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/6636db103235397283f9eae6/My-Only-Sunshine-Pitch-Video
Yes that is totally cool. Thank you so much. As of right now, we haven't got our filming equipment yet, but the director has shot most of her previous films on Blackmagic Pocket Cinema. She may decide to go with that when we get to the production phase.
Yes. I will. I promise there's more to come.
For now just myself and the actor in my proof of concept. But I have been in touch with a manager for actress Natalie Canerday (Sling Blade, October Sky) for the role of the main character's (me) emotionally abusive mother. Still waiting for a reply so keep your fingers crossed.
Yes it is a lot to manage on top of my everday responsibilities and life. I have not seen Vision Quest before but I will try to seek it out. Thanks
Yes. I'll be playing Joey in the feature film just as I did in the concept scenes.
Haha. I actually did really like Barbie. But no it wasn't better than a lot of movies this year, even ones that didn't make my list. I did think Robbie and Gosling were among the best performances if you noticed.
Thanks.
Well, you're entitled to your own opinion.
Yes, you are probably right that I don't fully understand the significance of what they changed from classic lore, but I hardly think it's as heartless as you claim. That this was just a cash grab. It's become commonplace now for fanbases to collectively rage against new incarnations of old properties which I think is warrented sometimes, but not here.
I also think your claim that "Mutant Mayhem" has no plot is ridiculous. Things happen that influence characters' actions. Characters change by the end because of the experience over the course of the story. And the crayon sketch-like visuals are the supposed to look like that. I thought they looked good. Better than the cheap looking puppet effects of the live-action movies from the 90s.
Agree!
Thanks. I thought of reposting my reviews in General too but I don't want to look like I'm spamming the site.
A few others I came up w/:
Boyhood
Moonlight
Casino Royale & Skyfall
Pan's Labyrinth
Adaptation.
The Dark Knight
No Country for Old Men
The Hurt Locker
Spirited Away
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
My examples of future classics:
"There Will Be Blood" - If a single movie has recaptured the tour de force of "Citizan Kane" and its deconstruction of the rise and fall of one man, this movie is it.
"Drive" - The "Taxi Driver," of our generation.
"Lord of the Rings" - The original trilogy was the first definitive film franchise of the 21st century.
Green Lantern...
While I thought both Fraser and Hong Chau were excellent, I found the writing a little heavy-handed. That's why it gets a shout out for acting but I reserved spots in my Top 10 list for the movies that I felt were more well-rounded by having great scripts, directing, editing, etc.
Avatar 2, like the first one, was nothing special. 3+ hours of just generic, sci-fi blockbuster clichés galore. I too was surprised by how terrible Moonfall was. A movie with split personality, constantly changing into something else, and never knowing what it was supposed to be.
I 100% agree. I saw TÁR three times and it climbed higher on the list after every viewing.
I make these with whoever of my friends can make it that day. He was sick.
Sure parody is over the top, but Don't Look Up wasn't that. It was just cloying and overly obvious. It points out the ineptitude of American leaders' preparations to crisis in the most unoriginal way possible (by way of an Alec Baldwin-esque caricature that wasn't funny the first 50 times) in the first act. Then spends the next 2 hours just repeating itself. There's a completely pointless joke about Sting farting that makes no sense in the context of the film and Timothee Chalamet is just shoehorned into the last part of the movie. The movie is a ridiculous mess on a screenplay ground level and it doesn't get any better the farther up you go.
Not true. Terrible movies are nominated all the time. Don't Look Up and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close have predominantly negative reviews on aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic yet were both nominated for Best Picture. Music by Sia literally got Golden Globe noms. Award shows are meaningless and people are seeing that (just look at the ratings of the last 2 ceremonies). Adam McKay's script was a one-note tirade that had all the depth of an SNL skit, just stretched to an ungodly 138 minutes. The editing was also trash which is also something to be taken in account when looking at a movie critically.
