@cryostars doesn't seem to have bothered her though:
“Extras are the lowest and you don’t ever speak to a star unless they speak to you. We’ve been told: ‘Tom Cruise is about to come on set. Please do not make eye contact.’” She has always found the strictly enforced on-set hierarchy more amusing than demeaning. “I had self-worth, because I was part of the film. Films would be very boring without extras. You’d get on the tube train, and there’d be no one else in it!”
Yes, he is. I worked on one of his films and he is everything you read about him. I witnessed him flip his shit but to be fair, that was when he and Katie Holmes were breaking up.
Absolutely loved it. Went into it having only the most basic knowledge of the events it portrays. It’s kind of like a reverse murder mystery, where the who, how and why are known and the mystery is whether or not people will get convicted for it…
I loved the length of it, which really let the characters sit and breathe a bit. I was enjoying every minute of it. Heck, I might just see it twice. I’m sure it’ll do well with the awards.
Saw it this afternoon and really enjoyed it! It was actually the first Godzilla movie I’ve ever seen. So I went into it pretty blind after I’d seen the trailer a while ago.
It had a lot of heart; actually a surprising bit of drama for what I’d usually imagine in movies like this. It has the usual pretty telegraphed punches, but overall I’d say it’s a decent movie. It’s not something that I’d outright buy a ticket for, but since I’ve got an unlimited movie pass, all it costs me was the time. And I consider it well spent.
I’ve just watched Brazil, a dystopian scifi from the 80s. The visuals were great, and I love the genre, but I wasn’t really feeling it. I just couldn’t really care about the characters.
Not as voluminous as other directors, but Guillermo del Toro is fantastic at realizing movies with dark fantasy elements, giving them equal measures of humor and earnestness to keep audiences invested in the story.
Loved it. Maybe even more than Shin, but I think being a veteran with PTSD let me connect to this story a lot. I couldn’t help but feel for Koichi, with how he was fighting his own war internally. Hit very close to home. When he got pushed into the alley, I just felt like “how much more survivors guilt can this guy have”. And it hit me hard when he was asked if his war was finally over.
But as far as Godzilla goes, loved his design. He was so menacing in this. Not an anti-hero, nor a “good guy”. He was a monster just destroying everything. The boat chase scene, he just looked evil. The atomic breath design was a highlight and the explosions that it made were incredible.
The cinematography was so well done, especially the 3rd act. The whole movie had very much an anime feel IMO. Lots of Attack on Titan vibes, especially with how Godzilla moved. I loved the boat captain, he felt the most like an anime character to me.
I watched Airplane II last night. Hadn’t seen it since I was a kid. I remember it being as funny as the first one but now not so much. Just a lot of recycled dumb jokes from the first one. Although the end scenes with William Shatner did crack me up - pretty much the only saving grace.
We watched the Murder on the Orient Express series, including the nee Haunting in Venice movie. I really liked them. They’re fun and keep me guessing until the end.
