“The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does,” Zemeckis tells Vanity Fair in this exclusive first look. “It’s actually never been done before. There are similar scenes in very early silent movies, before the language of montage was invented. But other than that, yeah, it was a risky venture.”

I’m sure it’s been done before but quite where is eluding me.

He doesn’t exactly look his age also timey wimey business could handwave that away.

They’re a strong choice - Timo Tjahjanto seems to have learnt all the right lessons from The Raid (he even worked with Gareth Evans on the best segment from VHS 2, possibly the best segment of the franchise) and he poised for a big breakout hit western cinema.

Definitely do, it’s a great film.

Red trunks! Terrific!

And we love him doing it.

Not now and not 20 years ago.

He only likes the white ones.

#NotAllTicTacs

They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.

Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.

So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯

It gets better - between the movies and TV shows you get a range of Lostprophet songs. It’s not like the lead singer is one of the worst pieces of scum alive. 🤔

Exorception

The intrinsic problem is the classic Lovecraft story is: scholar discoveries some terrible, ancient evil and goes mad or runs away. Thus doesn’t lend itself to a big movie adaptation and the most successful Lovecraftian films have worn their inspiration lightly. I’d have loved to see what GdT did with MoM but I don’t quite know how you could jazz it up for the general movie-going audience.

I saw that in the cinema but was underwhelmed.

This is a real pity as Marvel needs to expand the horror side if their offering to keep their output fresh. We’ve already got Man-Thing, Elsa Bloodstone and Werewolf by Night, throw in Blade, Ghost Rider (one of the younger ones with Cage returning to pass the torch) and you have your Midnight Sons ready to roll. You can bounce that into Marvel Zombies (as they did with Marvel Zombies 4). As Marvel Zombies 3 includes Machine Man and leads into 4, we are almost there for Nextwave. Create a separate bit if the MCU for it, as they did for GotG so someone can noodle away on it without too much studio interference.

Really looking forward to this - hope it gets shown in UK cinemas.

Yes, there’ a 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition out, although most of the extras aren’t that worth having (it doesn’t even have a booklet) and they’ll, hopefully, make a standard 4k at some point.

Last point: as a non-native European, I never really paid attention to the English-speaking social media being very US-centric, hopefully that’s a bias we can correct here on Lemmy.

I’m working on it. And there are Canadian and Australian instances doing their bit too.

Definitely give it a spin.

Lockdowns help highlight a lot of “just because it’s what you do, not because it’s actually good” things for people.

Lockdown hit entertainment venues across the board as people found it cheaper and more convenient to just stay at home. The manager of my local pub says a chunk of his clientele just never returned. The cost-of-living crisis has just made it worse as prices soar.

Theatres are generally awful.

I have excellent options where I am - a community-run cinema a few minutes away and a multiplex 15 minutes away (that has reclining seats, good air cin, plenty of space, etc and I have a monthly pass which hammers the price down - I usually cover the cost in a week).
