Sorry about the false link guys. My bad. The correct link is now in place.

That clip was grabbed directly from the opening credits of the DVD of the original.

Agreed. I saw the new movie in Boston with my brother last night and his reaction was basically "This situation is already really tense! You don't need to try and make it more tense with your quick cutting and slow motion-blur and bombastic music!"

FYI guys, Just dug out my kill bill DVDs to grab a Carradine-only screencap.

/Film : Marketing Up\'s Asian-American Lead Character

Thu, 28 May 2009 16:02:45 +0000

1) I don't see a controversy either, but we thought the fact that Russell is Asian-American, and how Pixar is handling it, might be worth bringing to people's attention 2) I don't remember getting terribly "worked up over" the film, nor did I say it was "racist." I understand what the point of the film is, but my point was that a lot of its humor derives from outright mockery of another culture (or at least rendering them as outrageously quirky or bizarre). If you want to discuss "Lost in Translation" further, feel free to e-mail me (as this comment thread is for the above story). But your points about "Up" are well-taken.

We discuss the mind-numbing technicalities of this time travel mechanic this for the first 40 minutes of this week's /Filmcast After Dark. So, that's something everyone has to look forward to!

What's remarkable about this video is how the fight quality actually matches the fight quality found in both "Never Back Down" AND "Twilight."

/Film : Movie Review: The Brothers Bloom - A Con Film with a Heart

Fri, 15 May 2009 18:28:16 +0000

Jiff, I saw this film 3-4 weeks ago before I had ever met or spoken to Rian Johnson in person or on the phone, and it was at that point that most of this review (including the final score) was written. It hasn't been published until now because it was under embargo from the studios. Subsequently, Rian Johnson has given /Film an interview, which he's done for countless other sites and publications, many of which have also gone on to review his film. Additionally, he guested on our podcast on Monday night, and hung around afterwards to answer questions from listeners. I do not believe these appearances constitute a special relationship requiring disclosure. If something smells like impropriety, it's probably because of my enthusiasm: I love his new film and think everyone should go see it, which was true even before I met him and not because of some sort of "established relationship." In the end, we have to support filmmakers we believe in, whether or not they are accessible. If "Bloom" was a piece of crap, I would've said so. But it's not. It's awesome.

Pegg is always fantastic, and provided great comic relief in the film. Not really sure how I felt about the sidekick though..,

Does that mean if quadrilogy is ever recognized as a real word, you'll promise to never bring this issue up again?

It's very possible that it will get a limited theatrical release, but right now it's still unsure. it will be going to a lot of festivals in the near future though.

/Film : /Film Arrives at Independent Film Festival Boston (IFFBoston)

Buy tickets early and, at LATEST, get there half an hour before the screening. But I believe 500 Days is supposed to be one of the most packed screenings for the entire festival, so maybe even earlier?

In my experience there's usually ample parking (scattered metered lots throughout Davis) but T is also a fantastic option.

The spoiler section will be completely separated from the rest of the interview, but yeah, it might be a good idea to save the interview until you've seen the film.
