PSYCHO SPOILER
Plus that's not the point of suspense IMO. That's the setup for future suspense. The trick was that the audience thinks Leigh is a main character, when in fact she is a plot device meant to put other people in suspenseful danger later. She's more like the old lady in The Lady...
Still you expect producers to assemble people who do what they are looking for and who's work appeals to them. That's what I was getting at, with the assumption that JJ was pretty hands on with the film's production. At the very least he'd skim multiple spec scripts and latch onto one that...
Director is a tough call I think, perhaps the toughest. Forget the dark horses, just the battle between PTA and the Coens is hard to read. Blood is brilliant direction, even if the film is edited a bit long per the norm for PTA. While the fancier moves have been removed, it's still got the...
You've seen Lost, right? ;) I think he's pretty comfortable with "coincidences" like this. The running theme might be that we are all a lot more connected than we realize because most of the time it doesn't make sense to us yet and by the time it does it's long forgotten or originally unnoticed...
Okay, it's probably stated on page 3 or 4, but I'm not there yet. It seemed clear to me that JJ was intentionally saying the thing landed from space ala The Thing or Body Snatchers, grew about 2 weeks under the ocean or however long it was based on the tape date, and then popped out. Before...
Boy, I don't know. I think Chuck is right, this is still a family film even if it's edgier, and that has to impact how this will affect the response to the film. More so if it's drugs (which seems to be true). It might not be losing Mike Myers before a Shrek release, but it's not nearly as...
Clearly you have not been to Vegas then. This is explicitly what they do! Get a comp card, put it in machines or scan it at tables when you play. Regardless of winning or losing, if you play a lot you get some comps. Why? Because their business is to keep you alive and gambling, not to beat...
It's not really technically that they are "owed" anything, but let's be realistic for a second. REMOVE all those consumers from the equation, heck just take out the HD buyers. How's that adoption of the new format(s) coming then? This is a symbiotic situation. We've seen the importance 100...
Placeholder I've been way out of the HTF loop the last 2 months. Tons of stuff to see still. I will say that No Country is at #1 at this point and should be tough to knock off.
I have to agree with you. Plus as others have mentioned there are huge flaws in the logic of this when it comes to the many fight scenes and physical challenges. I mean what idiot created a Rep meant to chase down and kill other dangerous Reps but left him vastly inferior to them physically...
My wife just finished this popular book, she even added a trip to Chicago to sight see afterward. For those unfamiliar it's about the 1893 Chicago's World's Fair and the person some consider the first serial killer in the US. Apparently Depp is signed on to be the killer and Universal has the...
Nov 21 is the wide release, but it hits NY Oct 4th for their film festival. Also apparently opening in London in a few days. So maybe we'll start seeing some feedback on this film. You're right Craig, Cate could be up against herself this year. You know her career is starting to get pretty...
That's what I use, but I wasn't sure how that was breaking down with Lives of Others due to what Adam just explained. Since it was a 2006 winner/nom I just frame it with other films discussed at the end of 2006, though technically it fits the 2007 AA rules otherwise. To me it's not a "US...
