      STEVEN SPIELBERG WAS right that the so called New Hollywood should ened after the Toxic chaos it cause!
      The New Hollywood was not without criticism, as in a Los Angeles Times article film critic Manohla Dargis described it as the "halcyon age" of the decade's filmmaking, that "was less revolution than business as usual, with rebel hype".[68] She also pointed out in her New York Times article that New Hollywood enthusiasts insist this was "when American movies grew up (or at least starred underdressed actresses); when directors did what they wanted (or at least were transformed into brands); when creativity ruled (or at least ran gloriously amok, albeit often on the studio's dime)."[69]
      This era of American cinema was also criticized for its excessive decadence and on-set mishaps.[70][71][72] Even Steven Spielberg, who co-directed/co-produced 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie with John Landis, was so disgusted by the latter's handling of the deadly helicopter accident that resulted in the death of character actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, he ended their friendship and publicly called for the end of this era. When approached by the press about the accident, he stated:[73
      so called VIDEO ESSAYS done by Nerdstalgic, the fake asian yellowface Accented cinema and Flimstack are lazy TOXIC people that are antisocial and dont have Girlfriends because they're emasculated from they LAZINESS

    If you ever want some suggestions for a part 3, here’s some which are worth discussing…
    The Exorcist
    The Omen
    Super Mario Bros Movie (the 90s one)
    Toy Story 2
    Come and See
    Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
    Cutthroat Island
    Poltergeist

    Jean Rochefort also said he hated working on the 2000 production of the Man who killed Don Quixote, because Terry Guilliam wanted the horse to look skinny and frail and thus the horse Jean Rochefort was supposed to ride was underweight and often starved (Jean Rochefort cared about horses a lot). When the movie production was canceled, the horse died a few days later if I recall. So yeah, Jean Rochefort never forgave Gilliam for that/

    Tommy Wiseau is one of the most baffling people I've ever come across, and I love the theories surrounding his fortune:
    1. There is an advert from the 90's of him promoting his denim store, which may give creedance to his import story
    2. He's a disgraced member of a European royal family who got exiled but still retained the money that comes with being royalty
    3. He's actually D.B. Cooper and 'The Room' is what he did with the stolen money

    It should be mentioned that Tarkovsky's Stalker is at least in part a heavy inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R trilogy. The map you play in is called the zone, there is mysterious entity known as the Wish Granter located in the heart of Chernobyl's Reactor 4, and of course, everyone who lives in the Zone are called S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs. had Stalker not released, S.T.A.L.K.E.R would not exist as it does now.

    For Nasrudin it was just a year earlier on 1967 when they began film production, Also he did storyboard the film, people say the complexity of the film is what caused its downfall but it was more of a setback in the middle of production, By 1992 they had alreadu finished most of the complex stuff in my honest opinion they really only had around maybe 5 or something shots that were complex and needed to be finished, i personally believe the reason why it failed was because of the story constantly changing and not actually able to spend full time on the project, and when they did get finished with a scene there was a chance it would uave to get thrown out due to the scene changing, this even happened during the warner Brothers production when they completed an entire sequence where the thief uses springs to try to get the golden idol but that scene is actually lost now with the completed version only being in the end credits of the princess and the cobbler. I think the statement about him making scenes longer than they need to be and then cutting the shots down is because he would sometimes decide to change the music or suddenly make a scene shorter to make the film feel tighter or to make sure they reach the desired film time

      That's a good point. This number is all over the internet though. At least one of the sources on wikipedia is from Life magazine in 1959, so we also have a contemporary source. I guess the question is, how much would a labourer have been paid in around 1957 in Italy? I couldn't find anything older than 1970 on Italian wages.

    Wages of Fear 1953, is an excellent movie, but there is a certain look that Friedkin is able to capture, regardless of the genera. A gritty reality and logic to each shot. Almost a newsreel documentary feel to the events. It was proceeded by the Exorcist, and the public seeing the title thought it was going to be another mystical adventure. It was not supernatural, although there is some sublime magic here. I was floored by 1917 and would love to see how it was set up, likewise. some of the Tracking shots from Children of Men. Poseidon Adventure put some of the cast at risk with the upsidedown ship sets. Before Cameron. Disney took a stab at Sience Fiction, It was not easy shooting Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.1954 Underwater shooting was rare in the fifties. and in Technicolor.

    Critics can say what they will of Shelley Duvall's performance in The Shining. In fact, it is her unpolished acting throughout the film that ties the narrative together. I agree her lines are often awkwardly delivered, but in doing so, she seems so out of place and disconnected from the drama unfolding around her. Commonly, bad acting often results in the audience becoming aware that the character is indeed only acting, but in her case in this film, it seems rather fitting as she successfully plays the part of a woman trapped in an unloving marriage trying desperately to pretend everything is okay. And it is clearly not working.

    "...instead of training real life Great White Sharks". There's probably a film in itself in people trying to do that. I mean, best of luck and all, but I doubt that's something that's possible. I would somewhat morbidly watch someone trying to train a Great White Shark though.

    Jaws had that National Geographic quality. It looks like a live version of a Nantucket article I saw from the 70s. Instead of trying to make low budget movies look high budget, instead try and make them look high class. Classy isn't necessarily big budget and it's probably a lot cheaper. George Lucas filmed Star Wars in a documentary style. I wonder if he was inspired to do that by Jaws. Jaws music reminded me of Jacques Cousteau who would come out with all these documentaries about the ocean and skin diving. I think I watched every one that came out.

    Everything is real in Fury Road? Wow! What a waste because it looks like a CGI heavy movie. Maybe that's why people didn't go see it. Maybe they should have filmed in Australia because a flat empty desert looks like it would be easy to do on computers. It kind of makes sense to use practical effects because it keeps you from going too far over the top like jumping from car to car then back again as the two cars do a jump past each other from opposite sides of a canyon.
