the longest I've ever waited in line was an hour and
a half and it was in 1999 for the STAR WARS prequel.

IMAX nature thing he's been working on forever.
I think "Q" is what he used to call that project..
Also If someone found and restored the lost 42 -reel
version of Stroheim's GREED (1924) I would wait
in line days to see that.

In THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) there's a
part where "Jen" turns towards the camera
frozen and it looks like the puppet is just
annoyed with the scene and looking at the camera
waiting for cut.
Can't find a screen cap of the moment, but it's like
he's shrugging at the audience. The Office-style. lolz

be 2 separate things)..
To me the 1996 version of Arthur Miller's
THE CRUCIBLE is a surprisingly effective
depiction of religious hysteria run amok. How
charlatans frequently hide behind it or try
to justify ritualistic abuses & persecution
of "the others" of this world.

NAME SOMETHING MODERN
MOVIES NEED TO RELEARN
HOW TO DO THAT AMERICAN
& FOREIGN CLASSICS HAD DOWN PAT
This is just a blanket generality-- but I think
This is just a blanket generality-- but I think
most modern mainstream films would be better
off if they had more (or any kind) of a visual
stamp. Some subtle or not so subtle uses of
color + a concept of space the events are taking
place in. Even small character dramas back in
the day had class & pageantry to the
presentation. Every action movie today
shouldn't just be shot with the same handheld
shaky camera look. And every Romantic
comedy conversation doesn't need to be the
same old shot / reverse shot throughout
the entire movie. It'd also be nice if
there were more characters
worth caring about nowadays.

Yes! A flawed but loving tribute to Moe, Larry, &
Curly's classic form of comedy. My fear is that
mainstream audiences just don't get this type of
slapstick anymore.. or the style of joke delivery.
Like many classic humor stylings of yesteryear,
(Vaudeville, Looney Tunes, Jerry Lewis) people
just seem to not appreciate it anymore after enough
generations pass by
the Stooges brand to be "too dated" before green-
lighting this. Thankfully for we fans Fox supported
the Farrelly brothers completely. I guess their folly
is our reward.

The latter part of Verhoeven's Hollywood
stay was plagued with misunderstood gems.
Especially SHOWGIRLS (1995). The fact
that it's still widely regarded as one of the
"worst films of all time" says a lot about
American critics and audiences.
