Anticipating Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind

it has been discused, can't remember where.

And then there's Master Of Space And Time. I'm so into the future right now.

i have my doubts that 'master' will happen...

Um, exactly when is this film set? Does this place sell 8-tracks as well?

x-post

This movie is going to be awesome. Has anybody seen it - or even a trailer for it - yet?

http://www.director-file.com/gondry/bekind-pic1.jpg

Hey, I didn't know Mos Def was in this - awesome!

I hated Science of Sleep, which was sad cause I really loved Eternal Sunshine.

The trailer's up on Yahoo. It looks absolutely brilliant:

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809761737/video/3631941/

Terribly choppy streaming. Boo yahoo.

Really? No problems at all when I watched it again two mins ago...am on a very fast connection though.

Poor streaming, shitty sound.

Ah, Melonie Diaz. Now we're talking!

that looks awesome. can't wait.

I LOL'd at Jack Black's Boyz N the Hood wig.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR HOOD

Hey, this movie was filmed in the shithole city that's right next to the even bigger shithole city I was born in. Gotta see that.

Science of Sleep was snorezville and Jack Black is hit-or-miss but still.... I have high hopes

traielr is very funny. the gag that they don't remember the movies properly is really good.

"when you're walking down the street... and you see a little ghost..."

Paul Dinello!

Looks very non-Gondry like (no evidence of whimsy or emoness) and amusing!

OMG

that keeps being in my head

"whatcha gonna do about ghostbuuuusters??"

however all the crowd protest scene stuff kinda portends a lousy last half

when is this out...?

Gondry and I have a mutual friend... last time I talked to him he told me Be Kind Rewind has a brief scene built around this kitchen cleaning tool I gave him. I can't wait to see if the scene made the final cut (he could also have just been fucking with me).

Also, Paul Dinello is in it? That is EXCELLENT news.

lol that is the most bizarre namedrop ever

I know. But I'm going to be really proud if my stainless-steel dish brush makes it onto the int'l screen as a symbol of modernity or whatever!

or as a light-saber

Paul Dinello is in the preview, looks like he's the bad guy government agent.

hahahaha xpost

i wonder how much this movie will actually echo ghostbusters

this movie looks great.

why doesn't jb's magnetized head erase all the tapes that they make???

they shoot to dvd-r?

why does jack black have to be in this.

also the science of sleep was not snoresville, you fucks.

what year is this movie supposed to take place in? the most recent thing they feature is Rush Hour 2... were there still all-vhs stores in 2002? I can't remember.

xpost I have not yet seen a Gondry movie I didn't love at least a little.

i will still be doing this on december 21 but my god i hate jack black

what year is this movie supposed to take place in? the most recent thing they feature is Rush Hour 2... were there still all-vhs stores in 2002? I can't remember.

ned's kenan's just pointed out the one unbelievable thing in gondry's ouevre!

there was a Time Before DVD, you know. I was there!

That time was not 2002.

hey guys guess what??

in a lot of little local-owned rental places, like the one obviously depicted in the trailer, there are STILL vhs cassette tapes available in them!!! i know this is amazing in this day and age, much like fax machines, but they are still there, existing, on shelves.

i mean, if realism is what you are looking for in your gondry films, that is.

I think he was talking about stores that had only VHS.

i don't see why anyone is under the impression that this particular store in the film only has vhs. if, say, all of the vhs at kim's suddenly demagnetized they'd have a shit ton of lost business.

BUT LOL WILLING SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF ANYWAY ETC ETC wtf why are you people picking apart the vhs and not the fact that jack fucking black is in this movie with his d isgusting putrid face and his horrible voice and his unfunny everything?

i mean seriously there are bigger potential complaints here than the idea that maybe they wouldn't care so much about losing vhs.

my neighborhood video store was predominantly VHS just 5 years ago - FACT

I don't think I even owned a DVD player 5 years ago

I'm with you! I think!

Hey Ally - you might appreciate this excerpt from the imdb message board for Gondry's next film Master Of Space And Time:

WHY IS JACK BLACK NO LONGER ON THE CAST LIST!?!?!?!

I THINK THAT GAEL GARCIA IS A REALLY GOOD ACTOR.
I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT J. BLACK. HE'S A PATHETIC FAT MAN.

don't worry, soon enough Jack Black will take his place in the hallowed pantheon of Dead Fat Actors

Dead Fat Actors Comedians, rather

PATHETIC FAT MEN

shakey mo, bringin the inappropriate death pool jokes.

/makin cooooopieeees guy

hey don't blame me cuz American has a love/hate relationship with fat "funny" guys prone to self-destructive behavior and dying young

2001-02 was the breakout year for dvd. the independent place i used back then was predominantly vhs and obviously most places' back catalogue (ie 'ghostbusters') was vhs at that point.

Jack Black is not partic. fat next to Belushi/Farley.

nor nearly as self-destructive, from what I can tell

Jack Black is not partic. fat next to Belushi/Farley.

why are you such a dick

I wasn't aware that I was being a dick, sorry - I didn't know it was a "dick move" to point out obvious similarities between the careers of various comic actors

it is a dick move to gleefully wish for people to die.

I didn't wish for his death wtf learn to read

pointing out that a hyperactive fat man that likes to party isn't liable to live all that long /= wishing for his death

what do you have against dead people shakey mo

1. what makes you think he's a mega-partier/substance addict
2. he's not even that fat
3. smugly predicting anyone's death is always a dick move, whether you wish for it to occur or not

people die, get over it

you're a dick.

get over it!

lol vhs this movie sucks is jack black dead yet

No, I just saw the trailer on G4 and it looks funny.

The movie part looks good, and I'm pretty excited to see Jack Black and Mos Def as a duo.

if, say, all of the vhs at kim's suddenly demagnetized they'd have a shit ton of lost business.

really? I work at TLA in Philly, which serves the same kinda crowd, and if our videos disappeared tomorrow, we wouldn't lose much at all. We only keep out of print shit in stock, I'd assume Kim's is the same.

That said, suspension of disbelief and all of that, though all they gotta do is put the words "1997" in the first scene and its all good.

The fake movie part, I mean.

it isn't set in 1997

“I’m writing a story about kids who invent a water that makes you hear music when you drink it,”

The trailer looked great!

“It’s going to be a scientific story, but completely unrealistic.”

o_O

filmed in my home town! i signed up to be an extra in the film, but they were filming the scene on the day i was going on vacation. some of the cast came to read to the kids in the schools in town though, which was pretty cool.

this does look interesting. when does it come out?

imminently.

it's very good.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR HOOD

-- BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, August 15, 2007 3:35 PM

seems like most viewers/critics who saw the early screening agree it's a flop.
oh well..

The previews looked horrible - I'm surprised at all the positive anticipating going on in this thread.

maybe expecting the niceness of "eternal sunshine" again?

this viewer/critic who saw the early screening thought it was good. it's a kind of alternative history of cinema, a remake of 'le crime de monsieur lange', and also a lolsy thing in itself. shitload better than 'science of sleep'. and the most left-wing film of the year to boot. which critics have hated on it?

it's nicer than 'eternal sunshine' -- which is maybe its only flaw. (gondry: still weird about girls.)

"which critics have hated on it?"
check out imdb and rottentomatoes.
anyway, get ready for 2009:
"Master of Space and Time " new Gondry film about "Two mad scientists discover a way to control reality"

from a book by Rudy Rucker which i never heard of

yeah i'm stoked for that too tho gondry needs a writer.

no-one i've heard of has reviewed it yet. i think it'll get middling-to-good reviews.

lol

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=26893092

I WANT IT TO BE NEXT WEEKEND NOW

"which critics have hated on it?"
check out imdb and rottentomatoes.

response seems largely positive? meh.

Whole family's going to see this next week we're giddy as fuck

boo @ this movie.

it's like michel gondry's heartwarming tribute to the creativity, passion, ingenuity and community spirt of... michel gondry.

That's good enough for me.

**mild spoilers**

Saw a UK preview of this last night and would say it's a modest delight. Obviously, the trailer spunks a couple of the best gags (Ghostbusters, "What's happening to our hood?!") so I was surprised when the first half hour was deliriously funny in its own right, well before any "sweding" takes place. There's one particular visual gag (the chain link fence) which had me pretty much roffling uncontrollably, and is *pure* Gondry.

I'd echo the comment upthread that Gondry really does need a writer, or at least a co-writer, because the funny stuff is very much a product of his visual genius and not down to the script (although there are a few very good throwaway lines and the ensemble has a nice natural feel to it). The whole VHS vs DVD issue is set out very early on and makes perfect sense in context, in fact a latter part of the plot hinges on the pressure to "upgrade".

So whilst it's not a very ambitious film it has a pretty convincingly good hearted centre and was a lot of fun to watch. If Gondry's general style appeals then I'd recommend it.

I saw the ads for this on tv and it looked so cheesy! I had no idea Michel Gondry had anything to do with it.

It looks a bit like a one-joke SNL sketch-based flick.

that's what the ads concentrate on, but it ain't like that.

If only current day SNL put this much effort into their writing.

there's a lot of truth in this, but he's trying to be nice and say hey, with the youtubes everyone could be as awesome as me, kind of thing.

this movie was filmed in beautiful Passaic, NJ, the neighbor city to the bigger shithole city I was born in. That's why I'll see it.

if the film is Gondry self-love over Jack Black vehicle then that might be enough for me (not liking JB and really put off by his presence)

Fat Tony Lane hates it! http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/cinema/2008/02/25/080225crci_cinema_lane?currentPage=2

so if I loved Science of Sleep will I like this?

to enjoy this you have to get past the OMG VIDEOS??!! stage right quick. also you have to find the spoofs funny, which i did, mostly. lane doesn't: probably not a big ghostbusters guy, really.

desperate bid to seduce the YouTube generation.

i think it's actually a parable of early (pre-1910s) filmmaking. but lol what do i care, tony tone likes 'cinema paradiso'. this film is closer to 'le crime de monsieur lang' (may have already said this).

xpost

ugh, hate that movie.

the spoofs are the best part. but they're like 15 minutes of the movie. i thought the first hour was terrible. totally unfunny.

it's definitely gondry patting himself on the back the same way science of sleep is.

But if I liked the Science of Sleep would I like this?

if i hated science of sleep, would i like this?

if i didnt see science of sleep would i like this?

If I mildly enjoyed The Science of Sleep and Gondry in general but that's about it, etc.

i hated SoS, liked this. but i think people who liked SoS, will also like this.

I dislike Michel Gondry as much as the next guy but this was really quite good!

Going tomorrow!

I have to keep gently telling the kids that it won't be all "lol Ghostbusters song".

science of sleep was so fucking bad

Alright, who is this guy that likes something and what have you lot done with Enriquit?

I liked them both. Actually I really liked SoS, probably slightly more than this but this was great. In fact I don't think I've actually enjoyed being in a cinema this much in quite a while. I loved the chaos of it all. Or the seeming chaos anyway.

Why do people hate Gondry even when they haven't seem his films?

Why can't a woman be more like a man?

I mean, has he done something terrible that i've missed. Rather than films.

Michel Gondry I have seen: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, Be Kind Rewind, plus a whole bunch of internet videos and music videos.

i liked this. i thought it worked in spite of its glaring flaws (i.e. awkward pacing, sloppy-as-fuck editing, a bit syrupy towards the end).

it's definitely gondry patting himself on the back the same way science of sleep is.

-- s1ocki, Tuesday, February 19, 2008 2:54 PM (5 days ago) Bookmark Link

i didn't get that from this at all.

pretty much all brit critics ignore the fats waller/community filmmaking stuff and concentrate on the lol 'rush hour' bidnizz.

the end is syrupy, but i will keep at this, it's syrupy in a renoir way.

i'm so happy it's shitty in a way that reminds you of way better movies.

i mean you could just as easily say it's syrupy in a "every 80s movie about saving the community centre" way but i guess that doesn't have the same ring as renoir.

also i doubt renoir would ever end a movie with everyone in a town wildly applauding and cheering for a renoir movie. ugh.

The "yay community" bits seemed a bit tacked on, I don't see what's so bad about the simple premise of needing to correct mistakes, race against time, home-made attempts to do this. Mos Def was so charming in this, I thought. Bit weird pacing though and I wanted more movie stuff focussing on the random bits that people remember. But there's a website to see those. Didn't think it was overly Gondry-y indulgy at all.

In his Observer review today, the great 'Brit crit' Phillip French calls this "a sentimental embarrassment" and notes that Fats Waller "had nothing to do with Passaic". He goes on to add that "It's particularly sad that the demoralised citizens of the film's Passaic seem unaware that DW Griffith shot his earlier films in the area and that their town is the setting of a milestone documentary, THE PASSAIC TEXTILE STRIKE, produced by the Communist party in 1926. Kevin Brownlow brough it to the attention of cineastes in BEHIND THE MASK OF INNOCENCE, his great book on films of conscience in the silent era."

ugh

ha. it is kind of funny and random that they went with fats waller.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Sentimental, sure, but I don't think they were going for gritty urban realism duhhhhh.

i mean you could just as easily say it's syrupy in a "every 80s movie about saving the community centre" way but i guess that doesn't have the same ring as renoir.

yeah i agree, it's also kind of 'batteries not included', but it's also a lot more inventive than that. anyway how could the audience not be applauding a film by gondry? the plot is, the BKR crew make a film and the townspeople see it and applaud. it's no different from the 'arizona jim' stories taking off in renoir -- and his mid-30s films are partly a celebration of the renoir collective, and just as self-flattering if that's how you want to see it.

philip french quotation is o_O. the fats-waller-not-from-passaic thing is kind of obvious within the film itself from the first frame... the other stuff is too random to live.

I lived in beautiful Passaic, NJ, between a synagogue and the punk clothing store, for 4 years.

That's the alternate opening to Goodfellas I assume.

i loved it. i dunno why every single critic has ignored the fact that this is, by and large, an african-american movie.

you guys aren't really talking about Jean Renoir, are you?

i am, yeah.

i mean, if that's *particularly outlandish*, do say, but a lot of guff builds up around the old masters, as if they were working in an entirely different medium. i think you could compare jack black with michel simon, gondry's videos with 'charleston', stuff like that. i'm not saying gondry has made a 'rules of the game' yet; i don't think he will, either, and two of his films are godawful. but 'BKR', to my mind, has a lot more to do with poetic realism -- ie populist french cinema -- than with gondry's peers.

i'm saying you wish.

i think you could compare jack black with michel simon

o_O, especially in this movie.

i think simon is great in the films i've seen him in (off the top of my head that's 'boudu', 'l'atalante', and 'quai des brumes' then). i also like jack black, mostly, and think they're doing similar work. i'm not seeing transcendent genius in what simon does. i would imagine the large audiences who went to see his films at the time got a comparable pleasure out of simon than modern ones do from jack black too -- obviously i'm hinting here that now that vigo, renoir, and carne are bracketed as "art-house" a certain deference comes into play.

So wait ... according to Phillip French every movie set in Passaic should make reference to THE PASSAIC TEXTILE STRIKE? Or is the real point that every review he writes should make is clear that he is more knowledgable about film than the reader?

So who else had the idea of making a sweded version of BKR itself?

I get that, Nrq, but other than the fact that they're well-liked, comedic actors, what's the comparison? I don't think Simon is some sort of "transcendent genius", but I do think that in the movies you mention, Boudu in particular, he's the most captivating physical presence--it's like every scene organizes itself around him--while in BKR, Black just sort of flatly plays his one character.

other than the fact that they're well-liked, comedic actors, what's the comparison?

buffoons-who-upset bourgeois mores (in 'school of rock' anyway). i'm not disputing that simon is good at all but don't think the comparison is o_O. JB is a bit tooo subdued in on 'BKR', and in a way i think the film as a whole could have done with some broader touches. still rate it highly tho.

Re: broader touches. Yeah, it's kind of a pity that the film abandons the slapstick/silent comedy riffs that happen in the first third.

however all the crowd protest scene stuff kinda portends a lousy last half

The movie is 94 minutes.

this movie stinks.

IS MY POINT.

I couldn't tell, you were so vague upthread.

I thought the Sullivan's Travels thing they were going for at the end nearly made it. And Mia Farrow is a convincing crazy old lady.

B+

that's extremely generous.

I am exteremely generous, and don't hate humanity like SOME folks.

that's definitely how i would describe you.

Finally saw this, wanted way more visual whimsy and a little less diegetic whimsy.

yeah this movie also ruled.
the "men in black" bit in the montage is possibly my favorite moment but there's a lot of them. Gondry does a great job of making the whole mess OTT and weird enough that you only really notice that Jack Black is overdoing it on a couple of occasions.

watched this last night thought it was okay (more enjoyable than Science of Sleep at least). Mostly reminded me of a John Waters movie sans the gross-out gags.

ha, it is a bit john waters, but I think mos def is more fun/likable than most of (if not all) JW protagonists

I guess - at the beginning of the film I wasn't sure if he was supposed to be mildly retarded or not ("Keep Jerry Out" note, etc.) But granted MD is just kinda likable in general in a way that a 400-lb sweaty drag queen is not.

I mainly drew the Waters' comparison because of the rather slapdash approach to pacing and characterization (characters are more like broad gags than actual people), as well as the overall themes of "gang of oddball losers vs. rich uptight assholes", piracy, private mythologies, and the championing of a seemingly nondescript nowheresville (Baltimore vs. Passaic).

or maybe it was cuz earlier that afternoon I stumbled across WGN broadcasting "Polyester"

I am kinda with s1ocki about the end though - there was a bit too much of a self-congratulatory air about it

Amiable, but so weightless at times, especially in the second act, that it floats away.

I can listen to Mos Def's crinkly drawl all night.

Mia Farrow's wittingly used.

ehhh i feel like you're all giving this movie way too much credit on the basis of a couple of clever ideas.

but clever ideas are worth a lot! I would like more movies with clever ideas plz

sure... but don't just have one or two and coast the rest of the way

I liked this way more than I expected to, esp. since I pretty much hated science of sleep.

yah - the plot was mad embarrassing sons

no argument there - the plot was clearly a super-flimsy excuse to make a bunch of goofy genre-excercise movies Gondry-style.

ghostbusters can hardly be called a genre exercise

am i right in saying the romantic plot climaxes with the girl... licking jack black's face? gondry needs to man up and stop that shit. but this is a good film.

but the sweded movies were like 5 minutes of the whole! xp

Yes, Gondry needs to man up. That's what is needed.

i was amused by a bunch of stuff but the one part i really lold at was when they were breaking into the power plant and the cops came - lol camo

it was better than i thought - didnt go in expecting much tho

okay yeah "genre-excercise" is not quite the right phrase

lolz "romantic plot". Gondry's totally got some girl issues. It was like he included a woman in the script cuz he felt guilty about making a sausage-fest, and then decided to overcompensate by making her spout "y'all are sexist and don't appreciate me even though I'm smarter than you" sorta lines.

x-post

i was amused by a bunch of stuff but the one part i really lold at was when they were breaking into the power plant and the cops came - lol camo

this was really really funny and I appreciated it cuz in the previous scene I was thinking "what the fuck is wrong with Jack Black's face? Is he burned, or in blackface or what...?"

the moustache bit was pretty funny I thought

yes exactly xp

I had the misfortune to watch Jack Black in this and Margot at the Wedding this weekend.

though he was alright in this.

this is a minstrel show

you should swede margot at the wedding!

omg yesssss

that scene at the end where hes all blubbering and spazzing

s1ocki too wrong about this

no.

someone was trying to sell me on this tonight at a party
i was full of turkey
so i said okay,
maybe

turkey is the correct word here.

this movie is so weird.

this was alright, better than the science of sleeeeeeeep at least.

i don't think gondry will ever make a movie as good as eternal sunshine again but that's totally okay - just bring on the visual gags and try not to overdo the whimsy.

jackblack's character's decision to darken his skin to play fats waller may be the weirdest/dumbest thing about it (would've thought he would've known not to)

i liked this about as much as Eternal Sunshine (and it was maybe funnier). wasn't sure about the ending at first but i like the merging of fiction/reality for the Passaic people - gimmicky but it works.

it's weird and flawed but i like it

i couldn't watch this movie. so bad

interesting divergence of opinions here!

I have problems with Eternal Sunshine and kinda hated Science of Sleep...but I adored this. I liked the cast, it's OTT without trying too hard, and it's funny without being jokey. and that gag with the brick and the windows brought down the house with the group i saw it with.

I don't really have a problem with the ending, since it sorta struck me as a fable/wish-fulfillment...and I liked the actors/characters enough to find it very nice. and it's clear that they demolish the building anyway.

and sort of a nice "response" to Science of Sleep since it shows image/fantasy making as a collective enterprise rather than the province of the lonely and desperate.

one day im gonna alternamom out so hard w/this movie

how funny/interesting it would be to have your first exposure of 2001 or Ghostbusters through this movie...

10%

hahaha....yes everyone knows you hate this movie!

Gondry is a visual genius, no question, but this came across as an empty exercise in formalism - without the sort of heart and soul that, ironically, the movie wanted to address.

^^Yes, I'm a bitter fan.

this was good enough for me

so much better than at least 3 of the films that will be Oscar nominated

such trivial garbage

don't worry, soon enough Jack Black will take his place in the hallowed pantheon of Dead Fat Actors

― Shakey Mo Collier

such trivial garbage

you're thinking of those apatow films you enjoyed

lets not do that

this film is fun

Ugh, this is fucking baaaad. Gondry has no business directing feature length films.

yeah i saw this a wk or 2 ago and i hated it so much and read this thread in disbelief

yeah this sucked

nah it was good

I dislike gondry, liked this movie

did I say tht already?

Don't have much to add that hasn't already been said. Weightless and empty pretty much nail it. The whole thing just sort of floated by. Lots of hollow sentiment. I didn't care about or believe the characters or situations. Mos Def was super bland, don't get the praise here at all. And what was up with the "Keep Jerry Out" thing? The general dopiness of the characters wasn't endearing but kind of fucking annoying and inconsistent.

Guess it comes down to the fact that whole thing is basically a pretty flimsy excuse for Gondry to indulge his Gondryisms and I'm not particularly charmed by his cute and "clever" faux-naive whimsical shtick in the first place, so yeah, Massive Dud.

did gondry fuck slockis girl or something?? cant imagine hating this movie that much!!

caught like 3/4s of this on tv and i thought it was pretty fun!!!

should have been way more sweded movies way less fats waller obviously

it was cute when the girl snuck the Lion King tape into their stack

this movie is ass... but funny enough as a matter of fact gondry did once hit on a friend of mine's gf... TRUE STORY

badass

i liked this up till the lame-o ending. definitely needed more sweding.
