Subject: annoying nuances in films
Organization: University of Virginia
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 01:44:47 GMT

	Why is it that some of the most annoying little things
that are so obvious in films really turn you inside out while
watching a film???  For example, I can remember seeing "Die
Hard 2" and being so annoyed at some of the tiny things that
they let slide through the film.  For example, they said the
film was taking place at Dulles International Airport near my
hometome outside of D.C., yet all of the phones in the airport
were "Pacific Bell."  D.C. is on the Atlantic Coast, so
naturally no Pacific Bell phones would be in Dulles.  
	Just last weekend, I rented "White Men Can't Jump" and
in it were two really silly slip-ups in the filming of the
film.  The character Gloria, was on JEOPARDY and one instant
she had $5300, the VERY NEXT instant when the camera was at a
different angle, she had $8300, and then she was back to $5300
when the camera was faced straight at her again.  STUPID!! I
rewound the film twice just to see what was up.  
	The other one was where a thug goes to jump in a van
and the van takes off before he has time to get in without a
doubt, and yet when the van has sped away, no one is in sight.
I hate these nuances!!  My question is: if they are so obvious
to us, why does someone in the film-making process miss us?
Don't they have people to check for these types of slips?

Gilliam was at least slated to work on it at some point.  I saw an interview
with Gilliam after he released Baron Munchausen and he was wearing a
bloody-smiley-face pin on his shirt.

I think my childhood had two shocking experiences.

One was a movie called Giant Ant (I think).  This was about giant ants (as
you can imagine) taking over the world.  I couldn't watch the end, and had
nightmares for weeks.

The next was an episode of House of Hamer (is that right) Horror.  It was
an espisode about a man who believed he had demons in his dead, and decided
to let them by drilling a hole in his head.  Needless to say this killed him,
and the doctor who investigated him was the next victim...

Powerful stuff to a 9 year old!

	Well, maybe pretty cool, but there is a Scene in Return of The Jedi
where Luke and Vader are LightSaber fighting... in front of the emperor... And
the camera is placed somewhere on top of them, and it is funny to notice the
shadows of the light sabers on the ground...

	Isn't it funny to think that something that is supposedly a fuzzy,
transparent, immaterial source of light, like the Light Saber blade, sould
make such clean shadows on the flour, non? But I love the film!

I noticed this too.  I don't suppose it would have been as impressive (if that's the
right word) without a big explosion - this is a Die Hard movie, after all!

Also, you know how at the end McClane lights the fuel trail coming from the 747?
Someone told me that you wouldn't be able to do this with airplane fuel anyway - I
don't know if this is true or not.

Another small point is when McClane is climbing up the ladder under the runway, he finds
the access hole cover has a padlock on it, so he shoots it.  The padlock neatly splits,
and we see the body falling away (leaving the shackle where it was) - I don't suppose
this would have really happened...

Anyway, some of these points are to do with the kind of "comic book" style these movies
have - there's some pretty "remarkable" stuff in Die Hard as well.  I think perhaps one
of the problems with Die Hard 2 is that it was trying to live up to the standard of
Die Hard.  I think they're both great, but Die Hard 2 seems to have had less
"attention to detail" than Die Hard.

By the way, in Die Hard when McClane chucks the chair and monitor down the lift shaft he
stuck lots of detonator-things into the C4.  How did he get the stuff to explode?  Did
the detonators do it - they didn't look like they could do much - or was it something to
do with the computer monitor?  Perhaps someone who knows more about explosives than I
do could help!

Looking forward to Die Hard III,

Nicolson would be a great older comedian, if they get Christian Slater to 
play him in his younger days. Robert Redford might be a good Ozymandias,
and Frances Sternhagen (sp) as the elderly Salay Jupiter.
However, the best bit of casting would be Adam West as Holis Mason.

My (1988) copy of Maltin's lists the particulars: released in 1951, dir:
Joseph Losey; David Wayne, Howard da Silva, Luther Adler, Karen Morley,
Jorja Curtright, Martin Gabel.  No notice of video availability, but the

MYSTERY TRAIN.  3 stories about Memphis, Elvis, and the death of America.
		Directed by one of my heros, Jim Jarmusch.  Rent it now.

A NIGHT AT THE OPERA.	The Marx Brothers at their funniest.

THE THIRD MAN.	The lighting and music alone make this a national treasure.

BLOOD SIMPLE.	See my previous post.  The last scene is amazing....

NORTH BY NORTHWEST
PSYCHO
THE BIRDS
VERTIGO.	Four years (Vertigo-'59, Psycho-'60, Birds-'63, NxNW-'64),
		Four classics.  You can't pick just one Hitchcock film....

ANNIE HALL.	A Tale Of Two Cities, Retold for the 1970s.  Amazing.

EUROPA, EUROPA.	Only the best movie that will probably be made all decade.
		Foreign.  A must see.

THE GODFATHER.	Gotta see it about once a month.  Just love it...

DR. STRANGELOVE:  OR, HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB.
		Stanley Kubrick vs. the Air Force.  
		"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room!"
		Peter Sellers plays three roles.  His conversation, as 
		President with the Soviet premier is classic.  Also, to miss
		him as Dr. Strangelove should be a crime.

TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE.	Bogart gets paranoid.  Great Huston film.

MODERN TIMES.	Charlie Chaplin deals with the terror of the workplace.


This is just a starter.  And now, films to avoid:

ANYTHING WITH KEVIN COSTNER IN IT (Except maybe Bull Durham)

ANYTHING DIRECTED BY LAWRENCE KASDAN (All his films are ripoffs of movies by
	John Sayles, a much more gifted director.  Case in point:  THE BIG
	CHILL rips off THE RETURN OF THE SECAUCUS SEVEN).

REVENGE OF THE NERDS II: NERDS IN PARADISE.

That's it.  Oh, one more thing, to stir up some talk:

In PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE, the main character, played by Pee-Wee Herman, is
a Greek Hero in modern society.  To comment, post or email.  'Till then,

I think they do have it. I recieved a catalog from Intrada and both Barbarian 
and Destroyer were in it. Both published by Varese Sarabande. This could
be an error in the catalog, but I don't believe so. I haven't yet ordered
them, so I can't say for sure, but soon I can.

Destroyer soundtrack has also own music composed for the particular
film. I don't think its as excellent as the Barbarian, but its definately
worth listening (IMO).

I believe you have seen MILAN's European release. Avoid Milan's
version at any cost!!!! As far as I've heard, their version of The Barbarian
does not, I repeat, does NOT have extra 20 minutes of music that Varese's
version has. Definately go for Varese's version if you can.

Yup. He was one of the best things in the movie, to me, by far.

Pretty amazing he had never done any acting before. But then again, neither had

If you ask for US, I am living in Houston,Tx, . If you ask for France, I used
to live in the western part (Brittany) in a small city, 10000 people.
Even there, I saw much more US movies than French/European movies in Houston.
Sorry to be picky, but when I see a post saying "best N movies in the world"

US is NOT the world. Suppose I do the same "best movies in the world" and I list

by people saying France (or Europe) is not the world. And I don't even speak
