Looks great. I hope its as good as my fav WA film The Life Aquatic.
October Sky
He made the deal on the very first time they went over for dinner. After that he got the part because the other actor went blind.
Agreed and also it is usually a "soft" deal... think going to hell in a hand-basket. I am sure on paper it appears greatly one sided to the acceptee, but like any contract the devil is in the details.
I thought it was an incredible opening shot. I was wondering how they did it and I expected helicopter but I never saw the shadow nor could I perceive any camera movement I would have expected from a copter shot, especially the end of the shot where it held on the front of the building.
Its a good movie, well worth seeing. No its not even close to the greatness of the original, but still worth a watch.
I thought the point of the scene was to illustrate how much stress and pressure he was under which triggered his seizure.
This imho is the best scene of the movie. I'm sorry its lost on you. It was a very tense and well executed scene.
I loved his unhinged performance in Crimson Tide and his sympathetic performance in The Firm.
Yeah he just had that intensity, that presence.
I agree. I really liked this film but either way as someone who has seen The Shining like 50 times it was inevitable.
I didnt hate it I just didnt like it. Specifically the third act.
The only thing I remember about it is Willem Dafoes farting. Lol.
Yeah but they just felt so long to me. Just my personal feeling. After a while I was like I get it.
I agree. The trench scenes felt interminable and really added nothing to the overall story. They could have and should have been edited.
I love long takes/shots. I began to get bored with the long trench takes as they basically just showing the same scenery over and over. Yeah its impressive to consider the technical achievement but I felt it would have been ok to cut some of them down.
It was just a straight up plot device to kill Blake, nothing about that scene was logical or reasonable. It was quite lame actually.
Right on. I hope to see your guys doing well.
Lol, oh man. I feel your pain. Arent they moving to Vegas? Maybe a new start in a new city is what they need.
My Ravens lost man. I am really bummed that they didnt even compete or make it interesting. The Titans destroyed us. Its ok though I am over it. There is always next year and we have a talented young QB but it sux cause I was expecting to watch 2 more Ravens games this year and now I have to wait 7 months to see them again.
