So... Charlie Kaufman.

I know most of you don't like Synecdoche New York (I found the first half alienating, but the second half stunningly brilliant, meself) and you've brought up Adaptation favourably a few times, but I think Being John Malkovich would be an interesting middle ground for you guys to do, with a lot to talk about and dissect.

Definitely on board with a Kaufman flick, anyone catch Human Nature?  I found that to be his weakest effort, although I was pretty high when I watched it.  Synechdoche New York is one I haven't watched since theaters but it was positively challenging and I think with another viewing could have a lot of gaps filled in from the first time.  Also, Kaufman said that was his version of a horror film, keeping that in mind when I first watched it and looking back it makes a whole lotta' sense in getting older as a form of horror.  Also, that reminded me of Spielberg's segment from the Twilight Zone movie with the nursing home and how it felt so out of place among the other stories told.  I know they were all based on original episodes but that one just took me out of the movie entirely.  And I still love Aykroyd and Brooks' book ends...shit, whose on board for the guys doing Twilight Zone: The Movie?

Bump. Any fresh Intermission ideas? We're creatively bankrupt as a rule.

Re: Suggest an Episode

As morbid as it sounds, you can discuss Robin Williams passing, among others. The idea of an aging actor base and who is coming up to replace them.

I also have been wanting a combat choreography describing the process of designing, training and crafting choreography, lightsaber or otherwise wink

Based on a thread of tools for cheap film making, it might be fun to discuss film-making on (no) budget. Tools, resources, etc, though this might be more of a thread topic but it might inform a lot of the amateurs around here.

Could be time for a Grab Bag or recommendation episode for what you are currently reading, watching, or creating.

The 80's action movie: its rise and fall. For a brief period of time action movies were, if not great, FUN. Why did that start, and why did it end?

Re: Suggest an Episode

You guy just have to do 'To Live and Die In L.A.'
It has to be as close to a perfect movie as you can get, besides some funky editing, But parts of it are like an 80's music video anyway.
If any of you haven't seen it, you should. Probably has one of the best car chase scenes in any movie ever made.
I just love the music, but I was born in 75' so, ya.....

While To Live and Die in LA is good (in a bizarro off-the-wall 80s way), there are way better Friedkin movies they should do first. French Connection or Sorcerer for starters

Big Trouble In Little China.  Also, if that flick had a different title, it's poster art tag line still could have read: "Big trouble...little china."

Re: Suggest an Episode

What is there to say about Underworld for 90 minutes? "Here's their Matrix pastiche. Here's their other Matrix pastiche. Kate Beckinsale looks hot here. What are Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy doing in this? I'm not sure the physics of that work. I'm sure the physics of that DON'T work."

I've been on a bit of an animation kick lately... Talking about a film like Coraline or Paranorman could be pretty cool!

Another Disney Renaissance film (esp. Beauty and the Beast or Hunchback of Notre Dame) would also be awesome.
