For any production whether big or small sound is a crucial element. Here is a crash course on sound.

Thank you Dan Brockett for this great article.

Del Toro Comes Out of Hobbit Closet (via FSR)

Del Toro Comes Out of Hobbit Closet (via FSR):

Dave favorite (or davorite) Guillermo del Toro has officially announced that he will be directing The Hobbit. I liked the LotR trilogy as much as the next basement dweller, but the mere thought of G del T helming this thing is enough to send me into fits of giddy, some might say girlish delight. The man is a certified badass, or in his native tongue, mal asno certificado. Rumor has it that Ron Perlman won’t work with you unless you arm wrestle him into submission. Guillermo del Toro has cast him thrice. You do the math.

from Baby Mama. It exceeded expectations. Not so much that I’m inclined to write more.

Also, this. I love comic book movies.

Also also, met Peter Gallagher yesterday. He was very friendly. He’s the only man with eyebrows more impressive than my own.

Recent Film Roundup

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:52:18 -0400

natedna:

recently saw two films via netflix: Lars and the Real Girl and Wristcutters. Some reactions follow:

Lars and the Real Girl:

i’m a sucker for films about community. i’m also a sucker for sentimentality. a northern town in perpetual winter becomes the backdrop for a love story between an introvert and a church girl. small towns in movies are so much more open-minded than i would imagine their red-state conservatism would allow in real life. town rallies around a sex toy in a be kind rewind fashion. basically a story of awkward hipsters falling in love. i loved it. i want to be a part of the world. i’m such a sucker.

Wristcutters:

Tom Waits, an emo love interest in a slacker road movie cross-country with Golgol Bordello. again i want to exist in this world. its unfortunate that you can’t smile in the afterlife but then don’t do much in real life. purgatory for suicide victims is a lot like southern california without cars, hot and desolate. i feel like i’ve been there before, probably have. i love the tough chick who defaces signs for fun. life is as fun after death and just as boring and whimsical. i need an angel like Tom Waits to stumble into.

So I'm...

Would Indiana Jones’ Death Be OK? | SpoutBlog:

I would be totally ok with Indiana Jones dying. It’s about time, homeboy is ancient. And it would put a definite end to the possibility of Indiana Jones and the Adult Diapers of Andaman.

So long as Shia LaBoeuf doesn’t take up his whip. Shudder.

Robert Downey Jr. Channels Tony Stark (via metro.co.uk):

davedna:

I would expect no less from the actor in Iron Man’s shiny red rocket boots. Kicking an addiction to pills and booze is hard, but every recovering junkie needs a hobby. And both Tony Stark and Robert Downey Jr. have chosen high profile f*ckery to take the edge off.

I know not everyone shares my adamantium hard on for all things Wolverine, but come on. This picture is sick. Props to Hugh Jackman for sticking with Wolverine post X Men trilogy. Even though he has a few inches on the real Wolverine, I continue to applaud this casting choice.

Wolverine: representing the short and hairy since 1974.

The first reblog of an original piece from one of our contributors. Go community!

from Dave

anitadna:

Last night I went to see the new card shark movie 21. I hadn’t heard much about it before I sat down in the theater. I was really only there to partake in a birthday celebration with friends. You should all know I’m very critical of films, I mean I spent five years studying them, writing papers and making shorts. But in this case I was walking in blind, not even having seen the trailer before hand. And I like over the top gambling movies, with forced plot lines, smoky atmospheres and lots of expensive clothing. But this blog is not a typical movie review. I’m not going to talk about the very hot Jim Sturges, also from Across the Universe, who unfortunately is putting on an American accent in this film. Or Kevin Spacey doing his thing. Or how contrived the love angle is. Or how Kate Bosworth again bores the hell out of me. No I’m going to talk about how all of a sudden I missed the middle of the film when the picture went black and the sound went on….

David Fincher's World War Z (via The Deadbolt):

davedna:

I am pumped for this movie. The book was a departure from typical zombie horror, and I’m sure David Fincher will deliver. For those of you who dig the undead, check out the book. And then let’s go check out the movie.

I returned home to find my roommates watching the third X Men movie. I joined them to revel in the mediocrity, and we decided to check out the special features, in which I discovered solid gold.

In the deleted scenes, there are two versions of a short scene where Pyro tells Magneto that they have discovered a cure for the mutant gene. In the first scene, accurately titled “Clean Shaven”, Magneto looks like, well, Magneto.

Then in scene two, inadequately titled “Bearded” we see Magneto with… well… see for yourself.

Oh god, the horror.
