Well that was kinda what The Plan did, a little.

I tried watching The Plan the other day, but god it was just really boring for some reason. I only watch like 30 minutes or something, though.

I also wouldn't mind a 1-2 hour mini-series about life on new caprica.

Haven't seen The Plan yet. Only started rewatching the series because I said I'd dvd it for a friend, then got sucked in again.

Yeah, it's more or less BSG: The Clip Show - The Movie.

>>125 here. Saw it, and holy fucking hell was it bad. I knew the acting and plot would be terrible, but I was at least expecting top-notch naval warfare (I get a huge boner for that shit, and it almost never gets shown in movies). But holy shit, there were like, two scenes of actual ship combat, and 45 minutes of fuckface's girlfriend mucking about with a legless vet on a mountain. Do not see this movie.

I torrented it the other day. I got about twenty minutes in, and just couldn't watch anymore. There were some good elements in it, but at the end of the day, I could see it was a polished turd. I have better things to waste an hour of my life on.

I got as far as the CGI SUPER BLAST PLASMA RADIO TRANSMISSION. I think it was in the first 10 minutes. This is why I don't watch new movies.

The whole world is one city with one, one-way road. With the right director/company it could be very fun and strange.

theatrical trailer. Can't wait to see.

When the fucks this coming out in the US

Big disappointment. Worse than snakes on a plane.

No plot, no characters, bad cinematography. The nazis are so diluted and helpless that there is no trace of tension or drama. I couldn't tell if they were whipping their nazi "satire" or their Sarah Palin caricature harder. It goes nowhere and isn't even entertaining during the ride.

You get all the good parts from the trailer.

All the characters struck me as pretty aimless and hollow, the few that did have motivations quickly seemed to drop or forget them and proceed to do whatever random actions. This was especially prevalent with the Nazis. There appeared to be 3 or so factions of them, but what exactly differentiated them or what their motivations were came across as incredibly lost. The possible exception here being the girl, as she's literally I think the only one that gave a reason behind anything at all, which was spreading the message of true positive National Socialism to the world, but no one else seemed to follow this and she just sorta half abandoned it later on to go 'the hot chick role'; at least until the awkward ending kiss to a comic relief character (that had just killed her father) and it morphed into some weird multicultural thing.

It pretty much just created a really fucking jumbled plot with confusing character archs. I wouldn't mind if it was funny, but I pretty much only chuckled and the little Hitler reacts parody and one or two other little things that I can't even remember now.

I was also quite confused why they had an Einstein archtype as the German scientist; and why the Germans were able to develop advanced spaceships but incapable of advancing beyond giant gear technology, or advancing anywhere else in fashion, weapon design, etc for that matter.

I bought Iron Sky on Blu-Ray a few days ago. I found it odd that that even though it's a budget film, the special effects were better than 'normal' scenes. The special effects, like the space bits, do look great. It's worth watching just for that.

I found the storyline fresh and interesting, and ending somewhat poetically satisfying. Yeah, it's not exactly Hollywood polished, but I wasn't expecting that.

It's worth buying, if only to support the development of movies outside of Hollywood. Hollywood is stale as fuck.

I thought their technological progress was realistic. Most of our technologies haven't improved much in sixty years; aside from computers and electronics, few things have changed. We're still driving internal combustion engine cars and flying in the same basic aeroplane designs as existed in the sixties, for example. The Nazis had perfected fusion technology (to use the Helium 3) and their space technology far outpaces Earth's, but their computer technology hadn't kept pace. They focussed on technologies relevant to their environment, which is realistic.

This is gross and shame on anyone who could have but didn't delete this.

SAGE has been used.

Not much, I didn't particularly take to it either.

I don't have any analysis to add or anything, but yeah, you're not alone.

The movie isn't particularly good up until Maddie gets kidnapped. From that point up until the ending of the credits, it's solid gold.

I thoroughly enjoyed it due to Jeff Bridges' dryness when he kills. I also love to see an actor play an atypical role for them, and Jeff Bridges is a very diverse actor.

>>110
That movie is shit. It tries so hard to glamorise the absolute worst of human experience with cg. You can keep it all to yourself.

>>112>>111

I dunno, if you're into rave culture and psychedelics it's pretty fun. It's got ups and downs, sadness and joy, most of all It's good for a visual feast, the CGI is pretty modest and doesn't look dated, 13 years on.

I just like how they spend the whole film exploring and padding out the glimpse of stuff you get in the first 15 minutes, though it's quite long.

Last night was Rembrandt's J'Accuse followed by Nightwatching, with one of ChipCheezum's anime theater (the finale of the dog anime) for intermission.

The Book of Eli, then some Jackie Chan Adventures.

I view enter the void as a right of passage. I enjoyed it, I recommend it, but I'm not going to watch it again for another 3 years or so. It's an interesting file I think, mainly because it it is unique.

I guess simply because I feel different emotions about the movie (it wasn't that good, really pretentious, but fun, a breath of fresh air, etc) I have to recommend it.

Writing a script as we speak.. aprox. 10 mins so hey, gettin there.

Dunno how, appreciating works of other's easier, etc.

Playing around with ideas occasionally in the head is fun though.

and then there's work or vidjya

My process is just sort of starting with a dream or some weird meta sort of concept, then wondering how that situation might manifest. Sometimes it ends up being some small tiny part of the story that develops around it, sometimes it becomes a key element. However I find that my vomit draft is created by starting with something and then making excuses as to why that might happen. Then it's just refining the details; tweaking the holes in the plot and modifying my excuses until things make more sense and eventually, out of this process (which usually takes about 7-10 re writes until I have my script), I get my story. It's refining the details and with every step I get closer and closer to something I'd want to watch. I'm a very event-driven writer.

As per excuses, time. I'm swamped as is.. getting things done a step at a time, when I find I have some.

>>I thoroughly enjoyed it
>> but it just wasn't my thing

I agree with these two lines.

I did a little write up about it here >>41

I found it to pretty much be the greatest told bad story I've ever seen. (not 'bad' so much as 'what would usually be uninteresting' I guess)

Enjoyed it a lot. Far more interesting than the far more common inverse of horribly told good story at least.

Just beautiful direction to it.

I thought it was okay. Just okay, it really failed to live up to it's hype.

The soundtrack was snazzy and cool. The girl was real to life hot, I found her very refreshing and loved her little smiles. Finney and Perlman seemed to be having fun chewing the scenery. I agree with >>41 about the cinematography and the technical aspects being very well done. I liked the pacing up until the second half. It went all dark and violent in the second half to try and impress and it failed, failed badly. I don't like that Jake Glyenhall guy very much, I don't think he's much of an actor. I didn't like him in Crazy Stupid Love either.

On a side note, I watched Taxi Driver on IFC the other night and was reminded why Drive a D+ movie, relative to DeNiro and Taxi Driver

>>79
>I don't like that Jake Glyenhall guy very much

He wasn't even in this movie...

I actually watched it and somewhat enjoyed it. Not the best acting in the world but hey. If only David Fincher did it or something, then it would have taken pretty decent real-world source material and made it into something a bit more interesting and memorable.

It's also one of the most notorious examples of modern movie white-washing. All those guys were Asian in real life, just like MIT in real life.

I thought it was bad. Just like a pseudo-intelligent version of The Girl Next Door. It's absurdly implausible, Kate Bosworth has a bad case of horseface, the main character has the personality of Hayden Christianson (that is to say, none at all), and the entire movie was pulling along by the extremely menacing Lawrence Fishburne and the eternal dick Kevin Spacey (I don't know how he does it, but he's just always an asshole. Impeccable actor though).

I had a lot of problems with it. It was reasonably entertaining and that's about all I can expect from it, but I think better writing and actors could have bumped it up to "pretty good".

>>67
Yeah, agreed.
>>12
I don't think Fincher would take that on.. but yeah no doubt he could do it better.

Doesn't ring a bell I'm afraid.

IMDB has a pretty useful keyword search tool that lets you find movies by their plot keywords though; bully, music, and poem might be good tries for yours. Might be worth a try.

Oh god yes. I love how the character of the Hero evolves over the series, from a young Famous Adventurers Correspondence School graduate fighting silly fairy tale villains to a chivalrous yet seasoned adventurer doing battle against eldritch abominations and a Lovecraftian Dark One and whose only friend is a gorgeous yet lonely vampire with ambitions to destroy the world.

I guess the best way to do it would be to start the main character off as a thief, and have him learn magic (as that is possible), and eventually reform his ways and become a paladin (That's ok because there isn't really all that much to steal in the third and fourth games.

I really really wanted to finish that series, but could never find 5. By the time I did find 4, I had to do all kinds of weird shit just to get it to run, and even then it was buggy as hell. Didn't even get to finish.

As for a movie, I think it could be cool, but I don't think that it would be done well enough to do the game credit.. If the puns were done subtly in the background or something, it could be funny Maltese Falcons. But if this ever did come to be, they would no doubt all be shoved in your face. "Look! We're being PUNNY! GET IT!!!"

>>21
Very yes. One of my favorite aspects.

>>23
I was thinking of 3 movies, one about each class. But in each one, they often drastically affect what happens to the other guy by doing things we don't actually see in the second person's movie all while they're acting towards the same goal. So once you watch the thief movie, you can watch the fighter movie and see how the thief's actions screwed things up for fighter and vice versa.

>>24
I loved 5 at the time. Went back and played through them all and just couldn't play 5 it was so clunky and the 3D graphics were so dated. They should've just kept the old engine.

/vg/ aside though, that's exactly how I was imagining it too. 3 movies covering the same time range and roughly the same events, something a bit like Rashomon. But there's so many locations and subplots, I guess I can't really see it working cohesively. For the series to fit in ~2 hours from even one perspective would be covering way too much ground, unless that were part of the "style" (like ADHD Indiana Jones)

>feel like I'm in the only person in the world to feel this way, but fuck Dexter

I'm pretty sure most people are feeling that way with that season they just wrapped up, most any discussions I witnessed about it were pretty much to that effect at least. Personally, I think it's been rather lackluster ever since the first season wrapped up, gradually more and more losing it's direction, but I tend to be overly-critical of procedurally written telly shows so I dunno. I do like what they started out with though, nice character.
