Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

I really didn't enjoy Hunger Games, so I'm wondering if Catching Fire is worth my time. I'll keep waiting for you guys to come back and say nice things about it which might inch me closer to seeing it.
 
If you didn't like the first one I doubt you'll like Catching Fire. I loved the first one but found Catching Fire uninteresting for the most part
 
CF was good but I also read the books so I knew how it ended. If I didn't I would have been annoyed

Me too.. I decided to watch season 4 when it's available on blu ray.. I hate the fact that they will show part of the season.. Then take a long Hiatus to show the second half of the season..

I enjoyed CF a lot. Really well paced (the movie flew by), good acting all around, interesting story imo. I never saw the first one, but I think I need to now.

It started out kind of slow, then things picked up the past few weeks (not counting the governor-centric episodes; which were actually really good imo). I was kind of surprised at the last episode, even after reading the comics. You should give it a shot if you have the time.

Just saw Unforgiven, wow! that's a man's movie right there, so quotable.
Zodiac was decent
2001: Space Odyssey was way beyond it's time, better graphics than a lot of movies in the 80s & 90s

I meant to reply to your post much earlier. If you liked Unforgiven, you may like the Japanese remake starring Ken Watanabe by director Lee Sang-il (Hula Girls & Villian are his other films). It's a solid film but a note for note remake however they replaced the American wild west for 19th century postwar Japan (Emperor vs the Shoguns). That's if you like foreign films.






I can't wait until this comes out. It's already out across the pond but it's set for release in April over here... The red band trailer is hilarious but I don't think I can post it on NT. It just looks like a good time waiting to be had...

I really want to catch CF but I only want to see it in XD. But the only showings are all while I'm at work. :smh:

Maybe I'll catch it this weekend, but I normally catch movies before work so I'm not sure how it'll work.

May catch Oldboy or DBC tomorrow, but feel like both can be watched at home, so I'm not sure there either.

Out of the Furnace I'll be there first showing though. :pimp:
 
Some of the online chatter is stating the studio will scrap what they've already filmed & redo the whole movie in light of Walkers death. In the event that occurs, they have insurance to cover the loss. This is so sad.
 
Wonder how they will write off the Brian character.

Scorsese still putting in work

Martin Scorsese Says 'Sinatra' Is "Still Going Strong," Explains Why He Thinks 'Italianamerican' Is His Best Film

With so many projects on the go at once, perhaps it's not surprising to hear Martin Scorsese share the following sentiment: "... I’ve never been on vacation. I began with my wife Helen. And with my daughter Francesca, who’s turning fourteen. Now I’m taking a break for a week, a week and a half. We might go and visit my wife’s family in Maine. But normally no, I don’t go on vacation. I work, I read, I go to dinner with friends, I listen to music," the director told Swide magazine as part of a wide ranging interview. But of course, it wouldn't be a discussion without talk of some of the many projects that are keeping him busy.

The current schedule for Scorsese is to make his long-developing dream project "Silence" next, followed by "The Irishman" which will re-team him with Robert De Niro. But for a spell a couple of years ago, it seemed the wheels were turning hard on "Sinatra," the biopic of the famed crooner. Scott Rudin came on board to produce, writers were being sought, 3D was toyed with and even leading men were discussed. And then nothing. But Scorsese confirms that it's still a gig on his table, telling the magazine, “That project’s still going strong."

And while he didn't offer up much else in the way of details, the connection with Scorsese to the singer is personal. “I grew up before rock’n’roll. The music in our house was the music that came out of the radio. Bing Crosby, Cole Porter, Frank Sina­tra…”

Indeed, some of Scorsese's best pictures have grown out of what he experienced or saw on the streets going up, while his faith has also been deeply important to his cinematic vision. And after creating a stir with "The Last Temptation Of Christ" and once again exploring the limits of the devout in "Silence," it seems there are even more stories he wants to tell about men of God. And he's got another faith based project in the works for TV.

"Right now I have a project for HBO, the pay TV cable channel, about another big name in the Church....Celestine V," he shared. "...It’s a story that takes place over just a few days. And it’s great.”

So what makes Pope Celestine V such an intriguing figure? He's the only Pope to have ever resigned from the position, with history deeming Celestine V as one of the more ineffective church leaders to come along. Most of his edicts were annulled by his successor and it's said he wasn't cut out for the political aspects that the role of Pope required. So yeah, fascinating material and we'd guess with the story being told in such a tight frame, it'll likely center around his decision to step down.

And while both of these projects represent different sides to Scorsese's complex personality, his own personal standard for the best of his abilities is "Italianamerican," the short 1974 documentary about his own parents, which he still considers his finest work. "It’s the best thing I’ve ever done," Scorsese declared. "It was then I realized that just one image of one person can tell a story. A world. They were better than actors, but they weren’t actors.”

Thus, another day, and more from Scorsese to consider as his work ethic puts us all to shame. Be sure to read the entire interview where he talks about doing ads to raise financing for films, the violence in his movies and much more.

I don't care for the movies but I'd think the fans would want to see Paul act in his last major block buster movie one last time. I don't think it'd be in bad taste to release the scenes with Walker as is, just don't do a dumb death in the movie to explain why he aint in the next one and don't make the next one about how somebody killed his character.

Is it Gigli or Daredevil?
 
I agree with the sentiment of keeping Paul Walker in the movie however they may not have the footage needed to finish it out.
 
I am assuming the plan wasn't for him to die in the movie, so I'm not sure how they would have the film be seamless without some weird editing. I don't think they were very far into filming, it wasn't like The Dark Knight.

When Heath died, the film was in post-production. While it's unknown whether or not Heath was done all his voiceovers, it was much farther along than FF7 was.
 
They are half way done with the film, Walker was in that mix as well, half way done with his stuff, but still some important scenes to be filmed.

I don't care how they do it, whatever they have of him in this movie, I want in the movie. He is one of thee main reasons this series has grown so popular, he deserves every second of screen time they can fit for his final film. |I

I sure hope they release some sort of bonus features on the home video set of FF7 where there are at least partial scenes with Paul Walker in them. If there are, I'll buy it. There will most likely be at least SOME kind of tribute.

Also, just to clarify an earlier statement, I meant that I assumed that it wasn't planned to have his character die in the film. I don't want to come off as sounding insensitive.

I had mentioned earlier that if they have ANY footage, from Fast 4, 6, whatever movie layin around, to somehow use some of that to fill in gaps if possible.

Depending on how much material they have from previous films that were edited out, I bet they could splice a few scenes together somehow. Just re-shoot the other halves.

So like if he was talkin to Mia and he said one thing, and she said another, they could re-shoot her part, have a Paul stand in (back to camera) and then she could say something different then whatever was edited. Then camera switches back to his dialogue, etc. Films usually have tons of extra footage, I bet they could put at least a few more minutes of screen time up for him and then figure out a send off somehow.


Either way, I am sure they will do right and honor him in an appropriate manner.
