I've just watched the movie and it really is a remarkable and surprising moment. His whole interview is great, and that part is one of the most interesting things I've seen in a movie in a long time.

He's just concerned that Hans hasn't explained what he's saying to the audience yet.
Sometime since this video was posted, the end of it has disappeared. I miss the part where she sprinkles snow in front of the camera!
I've never been able to figure out what an E would be. Don't think I've ever seen one; the best use for it I can think of is just that it gives you a nice gap between the D and F.
This is actually the least-damning review I've read or heard for W.E. Mark Kermode's will possibly go down in history.
Very much so, good thinking. Various eras combine well there, too.
Mentioning that Linklater was making the film 17 years down the line was a jolt for me. Being born in '82, 1976 has always seemed ages in to the past to me, but 17 years is really nothing, isn't it. Which has reminded me of something that often occurs to me, especially since we getting further and further down the…
Yeah, for a good while I figured watching it in parts, or two sittings, wouldn't be detrimental, but I've got myself quite excited about the idea of a big marathon on an in-between-jobs afternoon. Hearing and seeing a lot of positive comments about single-sitting viewings have encouraged me also, I'm going to do it…
I think I'm within days of finding a free afternoon to attack this in one sitting. It's been on Film 4 in the UK a couple of times, and I've seen the first hour twice, but cried off since with ad breaks it would have lasted until about 5am.
That's the kind of thing I'd like to hear Chris Stevens say as I walked past his window.
I can't deny the talent of Considine or any of the actors, but this is definitely a film that I really didn't understand. Normally if I dislike something of this ilk I'll give it the benefit of the doubt (unless it's just terrible, of course), but this was so bleak and relentless to a remarkable extreme I could not…
This is definitely the first time I've seen someone at an intelligent publication feel the need to describe Great Britain as 'another major player' in World War II.
But not as good as his New York accent.
I forgot about the B-Sides, yeah. At least it made for a remarkable period I suppose, and put them in the smallish club of bands whose B-Sides are as good as their album tracks. Some bands I think still have the potential to do that but haven't got around to it, or are wary of singles nowadays. That is, I like all…
I always think of footage I saw in a documentary about the making of Definitely Maybe, featuring Oasis rehearsing All Around the World in the unsigned days. It gave a pretty clear idea of their early catalogue being written in a big burst, with the best songs on the first album, the next ones on the second, and the…
Okay then.
I can't change the world we live in
What goes on in this thread is none of your business.
They didn't subtitle Trainspotting, but Danny Boyle did have the actors re-record some dialogue. Attack the Block has much more colloquial dialogue than Trainspotting, but as was said, not at all as much as the Wire. I thought of NEDS as well, during which I couldn't necessarily understand every word, but could…
Yes - I'd say they actually come across even better in the film than the trailer, too. They did extensive workshopping of their own dialogue with Cornish, and I'd be curious to know what sort of discussions international distributors had about buying or selling something so thick with colloquial terms and accents…
A lorra lorra lully people.
