Almost at the other end of the scale from the preposterously showy Swordfish shot is the almost too-subtle-to-notice shot showing you the outside of the TARDIS with nothing behind it, which then seamlessly follows the Doctor in and up to the console:

Anyone else's footage missing? For instance, MINE? I'm sure I can re-upload to somewhere if required.

Clichéd remote-control action chase:

When I see Doug Liman's original Bourne Identity, it's so much more coherent visually than Greengrass's wobbly chop-suey sequels.

The action scenes in Quantum of Solace are just a depressing ruin, particularly given the amount of effort everyone must have put in to make exciting things happen in front of the cameras, only to have confusing things happen in front of the audience.

I'm so pleased that there are still directors who know how to shoot action with long, steady shots, such as Brad Bird in MI: Ghost Protocol, and that know how to maintain coherence as they cut between moving camera shots, such as JJ Abrams in Star Trek.

I'll tell you what really annoys me: frivolous twitchiness of the camera when the scene is just talking heads. I've seen a reporter doing a piece to camera in a news item, and the shot is full of changes of framing, short snap zooms and faffing with focus. "Sod off and create music videos on your own time!" I want to yell at the camera operator.

For a moment, I saw that ep VII poster Trey posted as a reference to the crashed ship in Alien. Which would certainly be an unexpected direction to take the franchise in...the adventures of Luke Facehugger and Acid-Blood Kenobi.

Man, this project really is cursed, I don't know if you want to take it on Tom, you might get struck by lightning or something

Maybe we should ask Terry Gilliam to cut the thing, then; I believe he's used to working on cursed projects.

Kim Cattrall speaks German?! OMG dass ist FAHbelhaft!

But, now that you mention Hollywood's lack of use of language skills, it reminds me how I'm often surprised to discover how well some actor can sing, dance or play a musical instrument, despite such talents not being uncommon among people attracted to the entertainment professions.

As a Scot, I can also speak English, and (with a warm-up) reasonable German and touristy French. My wife can also speak touristy French and reasonable Italian. Immediate work colleagues can speak (at least) Urdu, Chinese, Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish and French.

Maybe I'm spoilt by working in London, but is this that unusual these days?

Yeah, a lot of those people are speaking either their native languages (with the English we're used to them speaking a second language), or grew up in circumstances where they picked up another language alongside English.

Being multi-lingual is a pretty commonplace thing among the people I know, so I'm neither surprised, nor really that impressed, that there are celebrities who can speak more than one language. Is this actually surprising to others?

I'd love to see the storyboards used to plan those videos. Where, by 'storyboards', I mean 'drugs'.

I'm just the messenger. FoT5k is guaranteed never not wrong some of the time.

I owned that one, had it on my wall for years.   In fact I may still have it somewhere.   

As I recall it came with the soundtrack album (hence the fold marks).

I had the Williams score as soon as it came out, but I don't remember that poster at all.

I feel swizzed now.

Also, I notice that, in this Italian one, Leia has been coloured pink and Luke blue:

It's as if they didn't expect people to know who was the boy and who was the girl without colour-coding.

I totally wanna see the movie based off this poster:http://www.filmweb.pl/Gwiezdne.Wojny/posters#poster-7376767-fullscreen

I'm picturing something like Pulp Fiction meets the early 00's era teen animation (Digimon, Beyblades, pokemon, yu-gi-oh etc, Yes this the generation I grew up in, why do you ask? tongue)

That's one of those posters where I want to ask the artist, "have you actually seen the movie?"
