I have a major announcement to make to this board

[Votto]

Yeah, that was horrible. Anybody else? Lol..

Let me put it this way... What is your top 3 favorite movies and why?

1. Naked Gun. Just funny as hell. My kind of humor

2. Ten Commandments. Every now and then you get a legendary story mixed with a legendary cast appearance, coupled by legendary movie writing and directing..
Hollywood may try to duplicate such feats with current movies out today but no one will touch it. Yule Brenner blows every actor away that is alive today.

3. Blazing saddles. Ok, you got me pegged, I like to laugh. Again, funny as hell, in fact, it probably is better than the Naked Gun.

 

[mudwhistle]

Find a copy of "Immortal Beloved" somewhere. It is Gary Oldman acting his butt off and not for the money. When he is acting for money, like in the Batman films, he phones it in.

Plus Immortal Beloved has Isabella Rosselini! Hollywood royalty by birth.

I hope you do make it to the Sundance film festival.

Regards from Rosie

I couldn't watch it all the way thru. Too much child abuse.

 

[Votto]

I hope you get screened at the "india" festival.

Me too. They only pick certain ones. Hard work and gotta be good. That's why I'm going to the New York film academy in LA for a year in their hardcore filmmaking program. I'll be doing every position and making 8 short films, while working with all the latest technology.

You are going to school to learn to make porn?

No, I don't think he is going to school to make porn, I think that porn is how he is going to pay for school.

Just a guess.

Avatar because of the story? I mean I get why people love it, with the effects and all that. But the story is one of the most generic plots out there. I mean its Pocahontas like point for point.

My top 3 though...

Gladiator
Primal Fear
Lion King

What type of storys do you like? Feel good storys with happy endings? Story's where one regains his honor? Story's where the man accomplished what he dreamed to accomplish?.

Any story where I can feel a connection to the characters. It doesn't matter if it's end well or in tragedy as long as I care about the characters. An intriguing plot and believable dialog also helps.

I have a history of being affected by Stanley Kubrick films. I saw ' paths of glory ' after school one night in a church hall. It was raining when I went in and I was glad I was wet because other kids would have seen I cried.
Then years later in my youth I went to see ' 2001 a space odyssey' when it came out in London. I was awe struck and when I came out of the theatre I felt like an ant. Then I found I had missed the last train home and I had to wander around London's streets all night, which reinforced the impact of the film. I was also impressed by 'Barry Lyndon' as it is like one long moving oil painting.

Kubrick GREAT director. One of my favorites. What made you awe struck? Can you be specific?

I was awe struck by 2001 because I had never seen anything like it. In fact there never had been anything like it as space films before it were primitive. But the story line mesmerised me as it took human evolution to another stage with the star child appearing at the end of the film. Not to mention the psychedelic trip that lasted several minutes when Dave travels through the star gate. I was sitting in the front row of the Cinerama theatre and the picture was huge, and the star gate scene was mesmerising.

For the longest it was "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"... but I moved onto others.

1. Avatar
2. Pride & Prejudice (Prefer the series starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle)
   
3. Ben-Hur

Avatar because of the story ... and the characters ... and the unbelievable effects
Pride & Prejudice because of the lesson on humility and morals.
Ben-Hur is my favorite Christian film. The end never fails to cause the water works to start.

That Pride and Prejudice was a TV show actually, but by far my favorite drama love story.

Once upon a time there was a bored stoner who stumbled across an internet sight full of failed authors, political wannabes, wandering egos and unfulfilled singles. He concocted a story of unparalleled success and accomplishment capped only by the unmet need for a bigger challenge. His audience searching for an adventure beyond the ordinary found his appeal irresistible and his presence stimulating just by its mere promise. Soon the idea for a movie metastasized and no one wanted to be left out from having a part in its creation. The association of great art and the semblance of unstoppable action sucked many into its vortex. Soon checks, cash, and pledges rained down on the budding entrepreneur as his charm increased exponetionally. It was too late when his followers realized they had been taken. Their rage galvanized their community spirit and they organized a vengeance quest to track down the internet interloper. An international A-Team of former military, retired IT, gamers, and senior operatives band together to restore the honor and integrity of the message board. Sworn enemies align to redeem their community. The search leads to a town in Colorado famous for its edibles. Soon snow and blow meet in an epic battle of finance and technology. As the armies of gigabytes meet in the ether the antagonist slips from one cloud to another the viewer is left to wonder if there will be a sequel.

I like your creativeness, but you can do much better than that.

Does anybody have experience in this area? Anybody have a movie idea? What don't you like about the current movies and the way they are directed and made? Are some redundent. Are there just not enough of some?

please share you serious thoughts about your feelings on the movie industry. If you are passionate show it. if you hate it say it and why with a passion!

Please, say what you mean. Thank you.

Does anybody have experience in this area?
My experience is limited to 8mm home movies years ago when the family was young. I used a spring driven Kodak with a wind-up handle and accumulated several drawers full of little tin cans of celluloid. Through the inevitable comparison of my movies (and slides) to those of my equally amateur friends and to the theater movies of the day, I came to understand the importance of camera placement, field of view, backgrounds, lighting...the cinematography. I'm not sure who hires the Cinematographer for a studio movie. If it is to be you, and you can afford it, get one that has already won some recognition in the industry.

Anybody have a movie idea?
An autobiography of me would be interesting if the right actors, director and cinematographer come together. Other than that, I suggest finding an established screen writer and adapt a successful novel or play.

What don't you like about the current movies and the way they are directed and made?
Lack of realism, lack of set continuity between scenes, corny actors, ridiculous plots, amateurish special effects, excessive length (without a gripping story),


Are some redundant.
Die Hard Umpteen comes to mind. Same old shit every pass. Bruce Willis performs superhuman feats to save the day and his wife from annihilation. Reminds me of the Matlock marathons...each episode has the same plot with a twist here and there; Ben Matlock defends an innocent client, figures out who really did it and extracts a confession from the guilty party just before the last commercial.

Are there just not enough of some?
Not enough outstanding black and white movies...such as To Kill a Mockingbird.

Please share you serious thoughts about your feelings on the movie industry.
A good movie, whether experienced at a theater, by television or DVD can provide entertainment and enjoyment like no other medium. They are best experienced at a theater where the screen is huge, the house lights are off (allowing the audience to experience occasional total darkness...except for the exit signs), and the sound system is impeccable whether it mimics a whisper or cannon fire. Movies made for theater offer the movie goer a detachment from all around him save the exit lights, the seat and the rude patrons that cannot refrain from chatting.

If you are passionate show it. If you hate it, say it and why with a passion!
That's about as passionate as I'm gonna get with you!

I'm addicted to movies. I kept Blockbuster in business 10 years longer than it should have been. I'm not joking I've seen every movie ever made.

However, what's unique about me is I see past the movie and into the screen shots, camera angles, lighting, dialog, and writing. It's like I know how a movie should be made. Now I'm about 50% retired and I'm a multimillionaire only 28. Lot's of talk on this board, but yes I'm weird as shit, addicted to porn/sex, work in progress, however, I have god given gifts. Finances, business, and movies.

I applied to a really good directors school for movies in LA. I need to learn how to direct a movie. step by step. Then I'm going to put the many ideas I have to work and fund them and hopefully play them at the india festival or whatever that place is called to get it noticed in hope of making it to the big screen.

You're too late bro ,someone already did "Secret Life of Walter Mitty"
