what exactly are you going for here

>>4977

I don't know either, maybe it belongs in the Jodo thread?

>>4978

i haven't seen any of these, but reading a few quick summaries that seems reasonable. might check some of these out

what movie is the first still from. looks promising

Do u hav autism fam?

You remind me I've always wanted to translate 10k words long interview with German. It goes on painfully slow so cheer me up.

Do you speak Russian? I've done amateur subtitle translation and it can be a difficult task. The best way I've found is to make sure you keep your momentum -- do a little each day and don't break the routine. If you take to much time away from the job, it is harder to restart.

>>6223

I can't force you to do it, and I can't promise any payment for your work, but I can assure you that I'll give it a read.

i remember when i was a noob

>>6186

that would be cool but....

muh psuedo anonymous image board

>>6189

hm? a bunch of people here made music videos

>>6189

I'm working on a short film right now. I'll let you all know when it's done.

Remember: if you are making a short film, make it as refinished as possible; the most important aspects to emphasize are the montage and the execution of mise-en-scene to engross the possibilites of mimetic exegesis of the work.

>>6195

Cool I'll be watching. I agree with >>6186 about the OC people have posted here.

Well silent comedies are usually undercranked a bit. But that creates a different effect: to heighten the action when the film is played back at normal speed.

Aside from other WKW or Christopher Doyle films I can't think of many that use this dreamlike slow shutter more effectively than Chungking Express. Maybe some big budget action movies have a scene or two that resembles it...Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan?

Fallen Angels is similar enough but with a bit darker tone.

that aesthetic in particular seems resigned to the early to mid/late 90s and I don't think anyone pulls it off quite like Wong Kar-wai.

>>6128

Try Days of Being Wild

I liked it, simplicity and all. I'll grant you that the ending didn't amount to much, but up to that point it kept me guessing. I thought we'd probably see beautiful Paris, and perhaps there would be more conflict between Jules and Jean (the boat love triangle trope). Vigo's writing and Michel Simon's acting were both sharp.

It also had several silent movie sequences. Most people probably don't even think about it, but the wordless montages of characters wandering around the streets is a silent era construct. It's fun to spot these silent sequences in sound films; John Ford is another director who used them a lot.

>>6053

that's just lazy 'talking head' technique. i think that's been pretty constantly present in films where the creators don't really care that much about being 'artistic' or whatever

>>6053

Agree with this 100%. Taking away other character's reactions to the conversation and their environment removes complexity and creates boring scenes.

>>6053

I think the close up can be used quite well, like that one in one flew over the cuckoo's nest where the camera just seemed to linger on nicholson's face for what seemed like an eternity.

>>6053

Close-ups can be very effective when combined with a good work on the montage. I agree with you though, today filmmakers are more focused on using it as a quick and cheap method of building up tension rather than forming a coherent filmic language.

Truth is, they pander to the short span of modern masses. This generation of mainstrean moviegoers grew up watching television and video entertainment - bad entertainment - more than any other, and this fact unfortunately reflects on the overall state of cinema today. It's quite sad.

Well, anyway, I prefer a tracking shot with a precise and dynamic blocking rather than an abrupt zoom in a subject. Of course that's just me.

>>5972

Well, just start a thread for streams and post there (next time). It works better to add to a stream thread than this one.

>>5963

I will run They Live, starting 15 minutes after the end of Plan 9 From Outer Space, over at:

http://connectcast.tv/Mal-2

This is in addition to tomorrow's warm-up show.

>>5963

30 minutes until the first movie starts, meatbags! 

>>4205

A Matter of Life and Death is absolutely sex.

Because outside being popcorn movies they're not much else.

Oblivion's best parts are the cinematography, M:I was a De Palma ride, Minority Report is messy trash.

me me i'm a tom hanks man

>>5806

I don't like it that much, I had higher expectations after seeing Heat, Miami Vice and Insider.

>>5784

>and a Scientologist

This is pretty much the only reason for people. Aliens froze your emotions is apparently so much more retarded that it offends the tricky snake forced an apple crowd beyond respecting anything he does as an actor.

That being said, he's functionally been out of it for a good while. Valkyrie was the last thing he did that I'd consider /film/ tier and Eyes Wide Shut was definitely his peak.

So did you see it OP?

I randomly got the soundtrack last week but didn't even know who made the movie.

Visually it had a lot of nice ideas, but there's something stunted and empty about it.

I want to like Ryan Gosling as an actor and a director, however I feel as if he only understands things superficially.

One of the freshest and most enjoyable flicks released this year. For cinema's sake I hope that the Goose isn't disencouraged by the almost unanimous bashing and continues to develop his filmmaking career.

>>5898

The movie is great. I loved the music.

>>5912

Yeah. The soundtrack was pretty good, and I really liked the visuals.

One guy used to stream some of the Film Clubs. I wonder if he's still around.

I've never done it myself. I expect you need a fast connection?

What else do you guys want to watch?

>>5291

still here. been awhile.

>>5395

Yeah it would be nice to do this. As I said >>5267, I don't know much about these movies either.

Since this thread is just languishing here, we could look at some lists to get more suggestions.

http://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/12-old-school-martial-arts-movies-you-really-should-see

Why don't we do one for October? Some kind of horror probably. Who else is up for it?

if it works we could do martial arts later

>>5794

Michael Mann's Miami Vice.

Ghost in the Shell series.

Not very many, but here's one.

Star Trek: Wrath of Khan is supposedly the best film to come out of the original series. I've only watched second tier Star Trek movies, like when they had to find whales for some reason.

twin peaks => twin peaks: fire walk with me

> Fucking great audio work

It's cool the director is into field recordings. That's what people listen to when mere music has lost its appeal, ha ha. I think he actually released an LP of the sounds of mole crickets.

>>4583

Watched about half of the trailer before I trashed it.

Looks like typical dyke garbage with some nice visuals.

>>5585

Can you just fuck off to /pol/? Or at this point any board that isn't here for that matter?

>>5595

go post your trash on /lgbt

You can't get anyone to look at your script unless you're part of the Union. You can't be part of the Union unless you're working. You figure out the Catch-22 here.

I swear it's a protection racket.

Best move would be to re-draft your story as a novelization and publish that. You don't need anyone's permission for that, and if it catches on and Hollywood comes calling, then you can hit them with the script.

>>5588

Your retarded.

>>5588

the secret is you have to be jewish

>>5591

>shhh anon! let him do all this hard work and be denied from even entering the synag-err I mean studio…
