Can you do a commentary on Zero Dark thirty?
I love the movie (and the filmmaking especially), but I don't know if it's a good fit for a commentary. You'd need a really good panel to keep interesting discussion going for 2.5 hours on it.
I love Stargate, one of my favourite movies in fact. So... yeah...
I don't love the film as much as SG-1, though. But that I do love.
True, Stargate SG-1 is much better, it lasted 10 seasons and took the basic premise of Stargate and took it in every direction possible, tTelling stories about humanity in the way the best tradition of old Trek. I liked Atlantis (which was admittedly more flash) too as well as Universe (which had an altogether different tone that I admired).
You should do an Extended Edition on it ![]()
I've seen the film and watched most of the first season of the show, I just couldn't get into it. If I had seen it all and I hated it, then yes, that would have been interesting ![]()
Sorry, no hate, just indifference ![]()
I'm going to throw in Upstream Color just so we can get some healthy debate going.
Ya, Upstream Color would be a real interesting one. There's people that can argue it's pretentious bullshit, and the flipside is that it's just hyper-restrained story-telling. I would love someone to do an actual in-depth analysis of some of the filmmaking/editing techniques involved, because I happen to think there's a ton of fascinating stuff going on that's really effective. Like, it has the aesthetic of a lyrical art film like a Tree of Life or David Lynch or something, but the difference is that the pacing is EXTREMELY fast-paced and structured. It's like a Nolan movie if you cut out all the dialogue and just had to rely on the visuals. Every shot is conveying either an important piece of plot info or a thematic connection, and he's counting on those 1-2 seconds to be enough to connect the dots in the audiences head. And then on top of that he's doing really cool stuff from an editing standpoint, where he'll play the audio from the middle of a scene while cutting back and forth between the beginnings and ends of the scene. Just all sorts of stuff aimed at compressing the narrative as much as possible into as little space as he can.
I loved that movie so hard, and I will go to bat for it with an actual bat.
