    1:17:42 I thought utilizing some of Ennio Morricone's unused score for The Thing in The Hateful Eight was a weird choice as well. Until my close friend pointed out to me that The Hateful Eight is essentially Quentin Tarantino's version of The Thing. A snowstorm trapping a bunch of people in one location, each of them paranoid the others have malicious intent. Tarantino even went so far as to cast Kurt Russell! They're obviously completely different films at the end of the day, so I'm not saying he ripped it off or anything. There's a ton of The Thing's DNA in Hateful Eight though!

      Yeah it's very obvious when you think about it TBH. It's kind of a situation where the way we categorize movies doesn't have as much utility as the way we categorize, for example, games. Hateful Eight and The Thing very much have the same energy to them despite one being a western and the other being a sci-fi horror, two genres that seem to have nothing to do with eachother. Compare the way we categorize Among Us and Mafia - both social deduction games with the same kind of energy that we can easily draw parallels to despite their settings being just as disparate.

    The 2nd time I watched Titane, I saw Vincent from a different prospective. I guess the burning child he allucinates is actually Adrien. The fact that, despite being a fireman, he could not save his son made him feel so desperate and guilty he declared to the authorities that Adrien has been missing, so whoever will show up pretending to be him, Vincent will accept him as his son no matter what (“Anyone hurts you, I'll kill 'em. Even if it's me. I'd kill myself, I swear”). That's why, when the police asks him if he want to do a DNA test, he refuses saying "you think I can't recognize my son?". His ex-wife, on the other hand, moved on with her life. When she hugs Alexia/Adrien, it's like she's pretending to do it because she doesn't want to ruin her ex-husband's delusion. In fact, the director has mentioned Hitchcock's Vertigo as one of her inspirations. What made the ending so moving to me is that Vincent finally recognizes Alexia for who she really is and, instead of running away, he helps her delivering the baby, which he accept as his son/daughter even thought he/she's not even fully human, a powerful metaphor for unconditional love.

    The thing about Jackass is they are always playing with death. They've gotten injured really badly before, but there were also so many near-deaths in the previous movies. And Knoxville is the craziest because he's addicted to doing the scariest stunts. I appreciate those crazy bastards for harming themselves for our entertainment. Also, I think the more edgier stuff was actually funny, like the end of Jackass 2 or the Baby and Dad bits from the show.

    One thing I don’t see people bring up is how perfect of a monster design the ‘thing’ is.

Buuuuutttt John Carpenter has admitted that he is the man casting the shadow in that scene, and he did that so that the shadow didn't specifically resemble any of the characters, maintaining the ambiguity.

  • @cuddlesworthgwapo
    @cuddlesworthgwapo Před 2 lety +5

    To be fair / to continue off of what Adum was saying about musical documentaries, The Beatles doc is a completely different kind of music documentary. It's kind of like watching a series of archival footage from musical history we thought we knew, with an alternate narrative just now found within the select 8 hours of film Peter Jackson plucked out of the 60 hours of filmed segments & 150 hours of audio, which had originally been cut together in a way that gave the world the impression that The Beatles ended the band out of hate for one another. The original film, Let it Be, even convinced The Beatles themselves that their multimedia album/concert/movie was a failure. While there was some tension there throughout the sessions, some of which is finally revealed to us in its actuality for the first time ever, Peter allows us to get a far greater impression of their creative process as well as the mutual choice to eventually split. For anyone who loves music, especially Beatles fans, it genuienly is the closest a film has come to being an actual fly on the wall for such culturally beloved artists. It's a lot more innovative & creative (especially for its time) than pretty much any other musical documentary out there. If you're not into The Beatles then it's definitely going to be a much tough watch with the length it sits at, but each of the Sards have expressed some sort of appreciation for the four lads, so I really hope they check Get Back out sometime in the future.

    Something of note:
    - It’s pronounced “Kieran” Hinds (Ciaran is just how the name is spelt as gaeilge)
    - Regarding the CGI in The Thing prequel. Originally the film was going to use practical effects, but was replaced with CGI after the test screenings. Apparently, some producer came into production, saw the test footage and said how it “looked like an 80s film” thinking it was dated. The CGI was done late into production, so the artists didn’t have enough time to polish out the imperfections. There’s a video from GoodBadFlicks that goes into more detail about its production: m.czcams.com/video/NxPK3sYb90w/video.html
    - I have a theory on why The Thing didn’t do too great commercially or critically. 1982 was a busy year for science fiction. Releases like Blade Runner, Tron, The Thing and Wrath of Khan went on to be classics in their respective genre. E.T came out around June, a couple of weeks before The Thing. I guess the public and critics were enchanted with Spielberg’s family friendly alien, so a shape shifting monster from space wasn’t something to follow it up with. The Thing came out at the wrong place at the wrong time.
    The fact that it and Tron weren’t Oscar nominated for Visual Effects is absolute bollacks (The Academy disqualified Tron because CGI was considered “cheating” back then).

      I imagine the average moviegoer, especially in the 80s, probably didn't have a very broad understanding of the science fiction genre and would have the attitude of "do I really want to see ANOTHER alien movie this month?" when it came to seeing The Thing after E.T.

    My head theory was that the alien species from 'The Thing' is the same alien type from Carpenter's 'Starman'. Just the Thing's alien didn't have those spheres to stabilize it's form and sanity to interact with humanity. Crashed landing and assimilating any life around it wildly.
