I haven't watch the video in question, but during TS3, I felt like it wasn't as original as the previous two and wasn't "necessary". Both TS2 and TS3 feel like the makers said, "Andy isn't going to play with Woody and Buzz forever, right? Isn't there more tale to tell?" But TS1 basically established that a boy never forgets or stops loving his toys even tho he stops playing with them, and that's enough to close the story. (It's not like every drama ends with the main character dying even tho, you know, everybody dies.)
Regardless, TS3 is a good story well told and is emotionally effective.
I have to imagine that the hard part of being Rian Johnson or Christopher Nolan or whomever is that lots of people tell you they loved the movie AND THEY DID. And other people say that your movie has very fundamental things wrong with it and it "doesn't work" or doesn't work as well as it should.
But if he made the movie KNOWING that people who care about writing are going to say it has structural problems, and he didn't care, then it's his problem. There's no such thing as an hour-long discussion about a movie that makes you understand that it's not clunky.
I think I've been ticketed for speeding at least 30 times, the top being 91 in a 65, I think. That can't be average.
I PREDICT THIS WILL NOT SURPRISE TEAGUE
Most famous or favorite celebrity encounter?
This is so weird.
I came out of the Bank of America on Sunset and Vine once to find a homeless woman bent over the trashcan rummaging through food. She was wearing short terri cloth shorts, and lets just say her figure wasn't flattering to begin with, especially since half of her ass crack was visible. The part of me that still is a 12 year old shit head trying to impress the awful kids in his school screamed loud enough to echo inside my skull, "PANTS HER!"
And I DID, and she was so shocked she dropped 40 bucks. And I was like, "CRACK KILLS!" and high tailed it back to my office, 40 smackers richer.
What's the most unusual thing you've ever owned?
By "original", the imaginary movie studio head just meant stuff that wasn't from traditional comic books, the '80s, or a hugely popular book series.
He didn't mean ORIGINAL original. That's contrary to the idea of starting with proven material, except where the writer himself is a proven commodity.
That movie was brutal. I had to stop it from time to time to gather the patience to go on. I'm sure it had some kind of point, but wow was it lost on me.
I like most of Charlie Kaufman's other stuff, tho.
They won't do that because Abrams can't do a giant tent-pole movie every year, and Disney won't wait four years for another Star Wars movie.
Enter: Guillermo del Toro.
Well, some of those are obviously not big surprises but a couple of things struck me. One, Americans don't typically speak more than English, so it rarely occurs to us that others do unless they have thick accents. And two, Hollywood very rarely makes use of the fact that many actors speak other languages. How awesome would it be to see Sandra Bullock and Kim Cattrall yelling at each other in German in a movie?
Perhaps the better way to open the film would be to dramatize the first responders. Forget the 911 calls and overused crash footage. Focus on the people who first responded to the events, then bookend that with Seal Team 6 as the "final responders" if you will.
Maybe somebody on Seal Team 6 even had a firefighter uncle in New York that day. If you're going to make shit up, that would be a better thing to make up than the fantasy that torture produced actionable intelligence.
