Hey there nihilist, so nice to see you again.

I think the reason is because you are smart and they (being the soldiers) were dumb! :)

I was just talking to someone yesterday about our future line up and my answer is absolutely yes. The Black Hole is about 5 to 6 video series away. My current slate which is subject to change is Total Recall, Airplane! John Carpenter's Halloween, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Predator 2 and then either the Black Hole or Jaws 2. So, I promise it is coming up CC.

@@RepresentThis Great to know. Much abliged.

Since doing this series I've been humming that tune for weeks now.

Oh, that's great! We love Cinema Gulp here, was just talking to him. Welcome and please give your thoughts or takes on anything.

Got a lot of good stuff planned for the next few months, can't wait to share it with you.

Thanks, more to come...

Totally agree about those remakes. They were train wrecks.

I appreciate that but I think 100 k is a big stretch. I'm just happy we got to 5K and I'm optimistic about the future growth. Have you had any growth the last week?

@@RepresentThis well thanks to you we got a few new subs this week! I thank you for the shout out my friend.

@@CinemaGulp Glad to help, if you need anything just let me know.

@@RepresentThis just keep doing what you’re doing. The insight and entertainment is perfect for me!

Couldn't agree more Michael. Thanks for commenting.

You know writer, I am rarely surprised when I start digging in for research on my next video. Hollywood tales have some of the zaniest tales of mismanagement and characters. It would be a great sitcom. Hey, wait you're a writer, there's your next idea!

@@RepresentThis It's a decent idea but I don't write scripts . I write about movies on Substack But I don't write movies period. However, the Script/ director carousel in Hollywood and the way things can provide material for quite a few movies.

@@writeralbertlanier3434 Very true on that final point.

No, that definitely is not his style.

Well, I mean, to be fair to him, he just wanted to stick to Phillip K. Dick's writings as much as he could. But other just didn't agree with him. This happens sometimes. Creative Differences, you know.

@chaoticiannunez2419 I think Cronenberg was right to make it as much about Philip K Dick's work as possible. I've read some of Dick's novels and I think it's better to try to get close to the source material when making a film adaptation.

@chaoticiannunez2419 Yes Cronenberg was creative And they were different.

@@writeralbertlanier3434 I agree, but I will say that The Shinning by Kubrick is the exception and a few others.

No, that never happened - There was never any strong female led films before 2016. It's all a lie!!!!! :)

I love that little gem. I still remember seeing it in the theater back then like it's yesterday.

Practical effects are so cool!

Practical rules. Pretty much the only guy who uses CGI and makes it work is Fincher because he makes it invisible - Zodiac got tons of CGI and it never really hits you on the head.

Practical really demands a lot of creativity both in genesis and execution. CGI is great and all, and I love lots of film with CGI, but I prefer practical every time, even when it wasn't done to perfection.

He's gonna need a new coat!

@@RepresentThis …and arms! 🤣

Can you imagine how much of a mess it is today for productions with the politics added now. Oy vey!

I have a soft spot for Dick Tracy because it was one of the first movies I ever spliced together for a platter at my movie theater job at Carmike Cinemas in 1990. The movie itself is visually interesting to me but it was hard for me to sympathize with Madonna as a character and honestly as a teen I was waiting for her to be a bad guy, which she was. SPOILER!

@@RepresentThis I actually wanted to see this movie as a kid when it came out, but my parents didn't think it was worth the money. And afterward, I could never find anyone who had seen it and liked it, so I just assumed it wasn't very good. And then it disappeared from public memory, as far as I can tell. I've even read think-piece articles talking about it as an example of out of touch executives trying to make movies off of properties they remembered from their childhood that had completely lost relevance by the time it started. That's why I always assumed it had been a failure.

Being from the UK, where Dick Tracey wasn't such an iconic figure, and I never understood why he deserved the Hollywood treatment. The movie itself left me cold.

I remember the McDonalds promotion ad material featuring the faces and names of the villians.

@@cheezemonkeyeater It is certainly a reflection of a forgotten era and to be honest it's a part of the films charm. It is even acted like a 50's film in some parts with over-the-top performances and cheezy lines that you wouldn't be caught saying.

Yes, he really is one of the biggest men in Hollywood.

Screw your freedom - Arnold

Sure there was a handwaving quote from him amid groping claims about how some 'crazy' things happened on movie sets during the 'metoo' era....

@@nihilistlivesmatter I have to agree nihilist. It's so easy for folks to easily judge others over a few single words, especially if they don't agree with whatever the words were. That way they can ignore a lifetime of actions. It's not like we're supposed to be human and make mistakes. It must be hard being perfect and sitting on such thrones of judgment. It's sad, but it's modern-day America.

As always, I appreciate your feedback, and we will continually work to not disappoint if possible. A lot of folks think Arnold is just a muscle-bound dude and there is a ton more to him than that and we wanted to kind of explore that one. Ironside had a lot of health issues, but we couldn't really explore that as it happened mostly after the production, and we try our best to keep our coverage during the time said films we cover so they are as immersive to that time as we can get. We pretty much focused on Sharon in our Basic Instinct coverage and as for Ticotin her interviews are all pretty much in lock step with the fun she had on the film and the appreciation she had for being in it. Whenever we do Robocop, and we will do that someday we are going to take a more personal look at Verhoeven as his journey as a director and his temperament on that film. Look forward to hearing from you again.

That was some crazy, funny stuff.

Dude, ... Open your miiiiiiiiiiiiind !!

Right back at you, so glad you're here. :)

I'm so glad you got something out of our videos, and we're overjoyed you're here. We hope to see more of your comments in the future and feel free to ask anything on any vid as we try to get to all the comments. Thanks again.

So glad you enjoyed it, hope to see you again in some of our other series.

Different tastes are different tastes. Seven was not off as I said nothing of the kind like that in the video, but by 1997 everyone was using that method of color and yes, I would say it was tired and gimmicky by the time Alien Resurrection was released. The mood of the color was appropriate for Seven, Dark City and other such films as it matched those movies, but Alien Resurrection was following film styles of its own franchise and didn't need to copy modern film-making trends. It is what I thought then and it's still what I think now. It is in the end another person's perspective, so I hope I cleared up whatever bafflement you had on what I stated in the video. Thanks for commenting.

@@RepresentThis I never said you referred to Seven as off, but Alien Resurrection. It seemed like you were saying it was gimmicky and tired. Odd that it worked for you in Dark City, a movie that came out after this. I just think the whole argument is odd. I mean the first movie was shot anamorphic, the second was shot on Canon K35 lenses spherical, a complete departure. Just seems like people seem to do what they want with the franchise. Fincher went back and shot anamorphic for alien 3, but now says he will never shoot anamorphic again. "Off" to me says that there's something wrong with it, not an opinion.

@@BrennanMartin"Also, were you saying that Seven was gimmicky visually? I'm baffled." I see that Alien Resurrection as off and its visually copycatting Seven. That is my opinion. Nothing more nothing less. I hold Alien to a much higher standard than Dark City so yes, I'm fine with that movie copying the aesthetic. There are many movies that used the silver palette after Alien Resurrection that worked, even Saving Private Ryan and it fit. To use it in an alien film was lazy and trendy in my opinion. Alien and Aliens floors this film visually and that is the standard for this film, not other 90 films. Simply disagreeing with me and giving your point is great but stating what I'm saying is weird or suggesting that I'm saying Seven was gimmicky visually is misrepresentative of what I said.

Once again, @RepresentThis you're reaching. In my first comment I asked if you said Seven was gimmicky visually. Re-listening to it, it really seems you use distain when you say Seven lol. I mean it's fine, go right ahead, but I just found it odd... You said that aliens should be above gimmicky things like Seven did, in changing the colour. That seems like you also thing of colour grading or in the case of these older movies colour timing as a gimmick. And that you can make a movie visually appealing without such gimmicks. But every single movie you've ever seen has its colour timed or colours graded by artists and technicians to get a certain look. I guess that's why I'm confused by your point. It's like you're saying what every film does is a gimmick. Everyone manipulates contrast when grading right? I mean you're perfectly well to ignore my comments but it just felt like an odd thing to say is all.

@@BrennanMartin Believe what you want. I am not here to convert you to my thought. I told you my thoughts and then you came back at me with IT SEEMS. Then let it seem that way with you. I'm fine with disagreements, assumptions or outright ignoring my stance. I cover behind the scenes to understand why movies become the way they are and then I give MY insight to a film. I never ask others to subscribe to it. I'm just not interesting in circling a wagon around an ant hill that is being made into a mountain. Best wishes regardless.

We did cover that in the vid and we completely agree with you Rapp, thanks for chiming in.

Williams certainly was the mid 70's and 80's, everyone knew his tunes. It was a great time to be a movie goer. Thanks for commenting.
