gravity getting a production design nom is another weird blurry line

xp Which is why it's going to sweep them all.

Avatar/Alice in Wonderland/Hugo all won production design. No going back there either.

yeah i mean... if the emphasis is on the DESIGN tho, who cares whether its built or not.
but then again you might as well hand the award to an animated film then. or give gollum teh best actor of all time award. and ruin everything.

ya sometimes feels like the award is for "most" prod design
― socki (s1ocki), Thursday, 30 January 2014 19:07 (ten years ago) link
no kidding! most editing, most acting...

Most scoring.

Wolf boasted a fair amount of CGI work too, interestingly enough.
― Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 January 2014 19:21 (ten years ago) link
And by "interestingly," I mean "not really."
not really enough?
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 30 January 2014 19:28 (ten years ago) link
Exactly. Needed more CGI.
― Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 January 2014 19:31 (ten years ago) link
Needed a meat cleaver in editing room.

Gravity isn't the sucky editing nomination in this field. Dallas Buyers Club is. Get your facts straight not gay, slock.

god, i just watched DBC today, it's really very bad! feels like it leaves out basically all the interesting parts of the story. real tv movie.
― socki (s1ocki), Saturday, 1 February 2014 23:49 (ten years ago) link
Six nominations for that piece of crap. SIX!
― Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Sunday, 2 February 2014 00:10 (ten years ago) link
the main thing that stuck with me about DBC were those bizarre scenes where mcconaughey's walking in front of green screened stock footage of foreign cities
― Hungry4Ass, Sunday, 2 February 2014 00:17 (ten years ago) link
i feel like all the fascinating details of that story, how he got in touch with all those people, the research he did, all of that was jettisoned in favour of award-bait jared leto scenes and shots of dewy-eyed j garns.
― socki (s1ocki), Sunday, 2 February 2014 01:19 (ten years ago) link
and the movie's idea of character development was like... mcconaughey is repulsed by jared leto's character *six months later* he likes him now
― socki (s1ocki), Sunday, 2 February 2014 01:20 (ten years ago) link
also treating AZT as like, the bad guy, was a bit dubious
― socki (s1ocki), Sunday, 2 February 2014 01:21 (ten years ago) link
*title card with tiny type at the end of the movie* azt is actually good
I haven't seen this yet but according to the New Yorker, Jonah hill got into character by prank calling best buys for hours

yah like I said upthread I like "process" movies -- movies about watching people at work. This guy went from redneck to Jason Bourne in eight minutes.
― Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 2 February 2014 04:54 (ten years ago) link
yup exactly!

right on!
disappointed at hearing the movie isn't good.

i was kinda into it more than i expected but i think it's because of how hard Mac Dog sold it. he's really great but yeah the movie doesnt surprise you at any turn
― Hungry4Ass, Sunday, 2 February 2014 19:04 (ten years ago) link
it feels almost like he actually wanted to make the movie about the jared leto character and his love of t rex cuz all those scenes feel like they're in a trailer for another film entirely

I could introduce you to some AIDS activists from the '80s who would verify that was part of the problem.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 2 February 2014 19:31 (ten years ago) link
it was extremely oversimplified tho no?
― socki (s1ocki), Sunday, 2 February 2014 19:39 (ten years ago) link
well, like everything in a commercial AIDS movie

“Most of my preparation entailed eating as much food as I could! I received a note after I won the role that Martin Scorsese wanted me to gain twenty pounds as the character is described as “Oddjob from the James Bond movies.” Chester Ming is a bit of an enforcer for Leo’s character so it was important for him to have some real heft. I gained the twenty pounds, twenty five actually, but it wasn’t enough so, in the end, they had a fat suit made for me.”

Jonah Hill didn't just prank Best Buy. From that bit in the New Yorker, what makes it hilarious is he supposedly called this one Best Buy in Hawaii again and again and basically talked to the customer service department at length as he refined his speech (it was hard to talk with the fake teeth) and they were so patient and pro they put up with him.

i love how everyone is just dancing like an idiot for like 75% of this movie
the frame is always so full of movement
the compositions are way more interesting than much-lauded stuff like wes anderson's characters standing in the center of the screen staring at the audience
― socki (s1ocki), Friday, 7 March 2014 17:26 (ten years ago) link
the frame is always so empty of meaning.
A friend of mine wrote on FB the other day that DiCaprio "looks like the fat kid in grade school whose dad had a lot of money."
