ngest video i ve seen all year nothing about it makes sense individually what the hell is with that ball of light but all together it reaches visual harmony originally i had forgotten about sneaky sound system s team america inspired kansas city clip but when i finally remembered what a fantastic video it is i knew i just had to add it in and finally duffy s warwick avenue video does nothing but focus on her face but what a lovely and expressive face it is my favorite strangely enough i m going to go with feedback for being the craziest non missy elliott video ever posted by dame james at 12 07 pm 4 comments labels britney spears duffy girls aloud janet jackson mtv pop music pussycat dolls rihanna the brothers jonas movies about movies blog a thon the opening scene of day for night movies about the filmmaking process is one of my favorite subgenres of film even when they are bad i m always fascinated by the process of getting a story filmed and all the things that can get fucked up between the sheet and the celluloid i love the bitterness of sunset boulevard and its portrayal of the hollywood dream gone terribly wrong singin in the rain showed just how awkward the conversion to talkies were and poked fun at the stiffness of the early ones sullivan s travels set out to prove that comedies are just as important to audiences as serious high minded drama sherlock jr showed that even by 1924 people were living vicariously through film the film i chose to talk about however is basically a love letter to the filmmaking process and how even when it kicks you in the ass you would do anything for it françois truffaut s day for night there are so many layers and so many things that can be discussed from this film that i decided to make it easy on myself and discuss one small section of day for night a nearly impossible task mind you but i ve narrowed it down to the brilliant opening sequence it is very short only about a minute or so but it comments on so much about the nature of film and sets up the rest of day for night and the rest of its film within a film meet pamela the film s opening credits i love how the sound waves are shown in these frames as a way to prove that truffaut is the ultimate film nerd even more so than tarantino and kevin smith and will stop at nothing to immerse us into what s rattling around in his brilliant mind the first shot day for night starts off with a long take of a bunch of random people doing ordinary everyday things in some random town it s quite a nice shot and everything but what exactly is truffaut doing this is supposed to be a film about the movies not about nameless people living a normal life the first 45 seconds leave you confused until you breathe a sigh of relief because you finally recognize someone jean pierre léaud now that we ve seen our star day for night is finally going to get off the ground and go on with the story or so we think the camera follows léaud for a few seconds but then drops him to go back to capturing the crowd for awhile longer then we get our first cut léaud is back now standing head to head with some guy we don t know the identity of no words are spoken between them then slap and in sync with the sound cue from léaud s slap we cut to truffaut himself yelling cut in case you re as confused as i was during the first time i saw day for night the film immediately cuts to a zoom out from the previous scene showing us that everything shown to us previously was all only a movie it s the perfect sort of reality bending trick than can only work in the movies truffaut s point in using this as his opening is to lull the audience into a false sense of reality from the opening shot we think we re going to be watching one type of movie and just as we re starting to put things together and try to understand what s being presented it s all being pulled out from underneath us with a little gotcha from truffaut i think it s also interesting that this opening is a further example of truffaut s thesis that the cinema is more important than life in real life this scene would be nothing special something we see every day on the street but in the context of day for night it s immensely more fascinating because we are trying to put all of these clues together to try to make some kind of story out of the visuals and admit it who doesn t find the moments after truffaut yells cut when he shows what is going on behind the scenes and the extraordinary amount of work it takes to make such an innocuous scene an exhilarating rush of deeply involving i could go on and on for days intellectualizing day for night but i think it s quite wise to stop right here if you haven t seen this gem of a movie what the hell are you waiting for go out and see it

august 21 2008 more zac efron pics from me and orson welles just jared has a couple of shots from zac efron s first attempt at serious filmmaking me and orson welles which is set to debut at the toronto film festival in a couple of weeks who knows if zac efron will be any good in this film but i must say that i love seeing him classy in his period clothes and hair posted by dame james at 4 56 pm 2 comments labels boys boys boys future movies zac efron wednesday august 20 2008 oscar predictions august 2008 i haven t updated my original predictions on here since march yikes a lot has changed since then so let s get started best picture australia changeling frost nixon milk revolutionary road changeling probably has the most buzz right now probably because it s the only one people have had the chance to see even if it was only at cannes but just wait until the release of luhrmann s australia and hopefully that will be the film everyone will be talking about frost nixon and milk are the obligatory biopic nominees although milk actually looks to like a fascinating film and revolutionary road will have the undeniable pr power from the reteaming of titanic lovebirds dicaprio and winslet best actor benicio del toro che leonardo dicaprio revolutionary road or body of lies frank langella frost nixon viggo mortensen the road sean penn milk i m already slightly bored with this category and am hoping for some new and unlikely contenders to emerge in the next couple of months del toro has the cannes win in his corner but who knows if his film will even get released this year langella and penn are the biopic subjects in two films i think will make the top 5 so they re in as of right now dicaprio just like in 2006 could go either way with his two films being released this year will oscar rather see him suffering in an unhappy marriage or looking for an al qadea leader in jordan mortensen has a powerful cormac mccarthy novel in his corner i ve only heard amazing things about the book maybe i should pick it up soon so that s enough for me at this early stage best actress anne hathaway rachel getting married nicole kidman australia julianne moore blindness meryl streep doubt kate winslet revolutionary road i still haven t given up on moore yet no matter how unlikely her nomination is seeming at this point maybe she and the film gain some more buzz once it is released in september kidman streep and winslet almost seem too perfect at this point but until i find some other more likely contenders they re staying in hathaway sneaks after the amazingness that was the first trailer for rachel getting married will she get the attention she should have gotten three years ago for brokeback mountain best supporting actor josh brolin milk robert downey jr the soloist heath ledger the dark knight michael sheen frost nixon kodi smit mcphee the road at this point ledger is crushing the competition so i m curious to see if his buzz will last all the way until january or if it was subside as we move farther and farther away from the dark knight s dominance over our lives downey has gotten great reviews for both iron man and tropic thunder so i suspect that oscar will top off his spectacular comeback year with a nomination for his baitiest project the soloist the film sounds completely shitty and almost designed solely for awards consdieration but i doubt at this point that oscar will go with both a ben stiller comedy and a comic book movie in its lineup brolin and sheen still seem like good choices at this point so i ll stick with them oscar isn t as fond of male child actors as they are of females i can only think of jackie cooper justin henry and haley joel osment getting nominations at such a young age correct me if i m wrong so i m a bit nervous for smit mcphee but getting a nomination seems feasible at this point best supporting actress penelope cruz vicky cristina barcelona viola davis doubt taraji p henson the curious case of benjamin button samantha morton synecdoche new york ashley tisdale high school musical 3 senior year my craziest category as of right now cruz s film has just opened and she s been getting tons of press for her performance oscar has shown that they already love her so that s one less hurdle to overcome davis apparently has the big supporting role in doubt if the film is any good and she gets good press add her name to the shortlist i figure one of the multitude of supporting women in synecdoche new york has to get a nom and i m just guessing samantha morton at this point she can be fun when she wants to be right i don t know anything about henson s role in benjamin button but i think she s fabulous and if the film s big she could go all the way i know it may seem like wishful thinking but wouldn t it be a wonderful world to live in if la tisdale got an oscar nomination for hsm3 stupider and sillier films have been nominated and in the second one la tisdale was so in tune with her character that she became the sole focal point of the movie best director clint eastwood changeling david fincher the curious case of benjamin button spike lee miracle at st anna baz luhrmann australia gus van sant milk eastwood luhrmann and van sant are carry overs from the best picture race and i m guessing there will be two lone director spots this year fincher hasn t been embraced by oscar yet but i think this year will be his year speaking of never being embraced by oscar lee 20 years into his career hasn t received a single best director nomination hopefully oscar will right this wrong and give him a nom for his wwii drama a favorite subgenre of oscar miracle at st anna best original screenplay woody allen vicky cristina barcelona charlie kaufman synecdoche new york baz luhrmann stuart beattie australia j michael straczytnski changeling stanley weiser w best adapted screenplay william monahan steve zaillian body of lies peter morgan frost nixon joe penhall the road eric roth the curious case of benjamin button john patrick shanley doubt posted by dame james at 1 00 am 5 comments labels oscar oscar predictions monday august 18 2008 the greatest loudest love story ever told um well that sure was different after revealing my shakespeare prejudice and proclaiming my love for zeffirelli s 1968 version of romeo and juliet a couple of weeks ago i was instructed in the comments to check out luhrmann s 1996 version before making a definitive decision i just watched it tonight and i must say that i m still backing the zeffirelli version whole heartedly don t get me wrong luhrmann s vision and execution is impeccable and that opening scene a nearly post apocalyptic version of a violence torn city due to a grand feud between two wealthy families sucks you in so fast you almost have no idea what hits you my biggest problem was that everything in william shakespeare s romeo juliet was so fucking loud i could kinda deal with the loud sound effects because in context they made sense with luhrmann s vision but when all of the actors are just shouting their lines so much that you can hardly make sense of what they are saying it begins to become sort of a problem and let me just add something about the acting i never thought i d say this but sometimes shakespeare should be left to the theatre experts john leguizamo had the potential to be great but he spoke every damn line through a clenched jaw that i suppose was trying to show how badass he was but instead made it impossible to understand the words coming out of his mouth of the star crossed lovers dicaprio was better but not by a wide margin he was at least trying to get into the character and make the material seem fresh danes on the other hand played juliet like just another random lovestruck teenager in some 90 s teen romance instead of a first class auteur s modern vision of one of the most recognizable love stories of all time this brings me to another point watching this in 2008 as a child of the late 90 s early 2000 s the film already feels slightly dated from the cheesy clothes and haircuts which are very much of their time to the romance it didn t feel tragic enough to the point where they d do anything for each other and i didn t feel any connection between dicaprio and dances and sort of wished they had cast someone like kate winslet to completely ignite the screen with chemistry and the general debauchery and antics of all of the supporting cast which felt like it should belong in some fucked up hybrid of she s all that and boyz n the hood everything felt completely 90 s and almost kitschy it will be interesting to see how this film fairs in 20 years will people still love it or will it be a relic i know this may sound like i hated this film but truly i thought it was a very jarring and provoking experience in a good way it was exactly what i needed to see that not all shakespeare adaptations need to be excessively theatrical and can be used to express an unique point of view i sincerely think that this film needs to be shown as part of shakespeare units in high schools to prove that his works are still relevant 400 years later well look at that maybe luhrmann s converted me after all b posted by dame james at 12 59 am 3 comments labels baz luhrmann billy shakespeare film rants le cinema leonardo dicaprio smart people they should have called this
