The only actor with more mugshots than publicity shots, they used to say.

I don't know what y'all are talking about, because Cage is just the icing on the delicious Deadfall cake.

Chazelle's debut, Guy And Madeline On A Park Bench, was also a musical. Lotta handmade charm, choreographed dance sequences shot for no money on black-and-white 16mm.

A few things: 35mm movies shown in 1.66 are actually shot in 1.37 and then masked, as were most movies shown in 1.85 before 3-perf became popular. (The exception are movies shot on Super 16mm, whose native aspect ratio is in fact 1.66; however, these are almost always cropped down to 1.85, and Super 16mm was used less…

Or this was written at the same time as the obituary, but had to be delayed due to calendar load on both ends, because this is the real world.

Like @mattepntr:disqus sez. (I was more playing off your own double es.)

Chee-MI-no.

Counterpoint: Heaven's Gate is a pretty great movie.

Like @AC_Slater123:disqus says. The motivation in the film is that she's running as the anti-Purge "people's candidate" and doesn't want to come across like one of the elites, who hide out in secret bunkers during the Purge.

Believe me, these movies are not short on premise-explaining exposition, which why everyone in these comments somehow remembers that "government officials of ranking 10" and weapons above "class 4" are off limits, whatever that means.

The Purge: Anarchy is a lot of fun. The Purge is not.

This time around, the NFFA (the establishment party of the Purge-verse) rescinds the "politicians are protected" rule with the express purpose of offing the opposition.

'cause in the film industry, you get voted in to be invited. AMPAS' membership is under 6,000 (which makes almost 700 invitations insane), whereas the TV Academy, which is just one of three honorary organizations that get to vote on the Emmys, has 15,000.

Film studio PR people can also be part of the Academy. Bet your wife has some kind of TV academy membership. (It's not invitation-based like AMPAS.)

Actually, it's exactly like the Emmys, which are run by the Academy's TV counterparts.

Actually, next Film Club will probably be The BFG, so we can Kaminskify by pumping the whole place full of smoke and haze and stretching some pantyhose over the backs of the lenses.

Now is as good a time as any to point out that Emmerich studied to become a production designer, and that his debut, which is slow as molasses, was basically made to show off how sci-fi shit he could build on a small budget. (Also, his dad founded SOLO, which is currently run by Emmerich's brothers.)

It most certainly is not!

Well, it was shot in Australia.

I haven't seen Ceiling Zero. (In fact, it's the only sound-era Hawks I haven't seen, so I should rectify that.)
