Text of the page (random words):
han life historical epics he was more widely associated with he gets a lot more out of the excessive stylization of his actors in films such as the cheat or the godless girl than he ever got out of charlton heston pretending he s moses in his later version of the ten commandments the silent version of the ten commandments is the perfect opportunity to see this difference as the film is split into two sections one set in biblical times and the other in modern 1920 s times the prologue depicts moses leading the hebrews out of egypt and the accompanying hedonism that leads god to strike down his ten commandments there s really nothing surprising about this section of the film everything from the wide shots capturing every last bit of the massive set to the vague let me just waive my arms wildly in the air and that will get any point across style of acting the actor who portrays moses decided to use was old hat when griffith employed that style in intolerance seven years previously the modern half which tells the story of a devoutly religious mother and her two sons one a believer the other not so much is where demille really gets a chance to do something interesting with the material for what is more or less a morality play this section is surprisingly tongue in cheek mostly due to la rocque and joy s performances what is perhaps even more surprising is the fact that a story which involves leprosy a church that falls on top of someone and kills them and an exotic and alluring half chinese woman who precipitates la rocque s major downfall can be so dramatically hefty it s laughable but it also works and that s a combination only demille could get away with first half c second half b posted by dame james at 12 05 pm no comments labels cecil b demille le cinema silencieux wednesday march 16 2011 i am liz lemon 4 a new semi regular series in which i point out moments from liz lemon s life that have either happened to me in the past or are currently happening to me in my own life this will be the ultimate proof that once and for all i am liz lemon where s my mac cheese true story i joked about seeing myself actually doing this one day when this episode premiered but it actually happened about a year ago i was getting ready to make dinner for myself one night and decided to make a box of mac cheese i had just bought i knew i had left it on the floor by the rest of my food and looked there multiple times but could not find it i asked my roommate who had just been cleaning if she had seen the bag that had my mac cheese she helped me look for a second but we still came up empty finally she admitted that she may have accidentally thrown the boxes away while cleaning i kept my cool but i literally wanted to flip the dining room table over it wasn t until much later that i got the irony humor of that moment posted by dame james at 11 20 pm no comments labels 30 rock i am liz lemon tina fey sunday march 13 2011 my lovely oscar winning cameo filled dream as a movie lover for the better part of the past decade i have had many a daydream about someday winning an oscar despite the fact that my best shot at winning one would be in the writing categories i often dream big and imagine snagging an acting trophy we can try and pretend that the other awards are just as glamorous and important as the acting awards but there s a reason the best sound editing winner gets cut off after 30 seconds while natalie portman gets to ramble for four minutes my dream for the past year has been to be discovered by a director become his lover muse let him mold me into a proper actor and snag an oscar for my troubles this is all despite the fact that i have no control over my facial expressions or my voice hey no one said it was going to be easy the reason i bring this all up is because last night i had an amazing dream where i won an acting oscar best supporting actor to be more specific but curiously enough i don t remember the moment where i was awarded the prize specifically happening the dream only covered before and after the big moment if we re being honest the dream actually started in britain on the eve of the outbreak of world war ii i was a student and one of my classmates was zac efron i m pretty sure we were dating and other classmates knew and accepted it which is surprising since pre war britain was not exactly the friendliest towards homosexuals not that any society really was to be fair anyways the only part i really remember from this part was a moment where zac was being chastised by someone in the middle of class and he was about ready to start sobbing i was also in the class sitting with a couple of my friends they were asking why i didn t rush over and comfort him i launched into this beautiful monologue about how i had no idea how to comfort someone how i would feel awkward putting an arm on his shoulder and telling him that everything would be okay basically i loved him but i had no idea how to express it it was a tender moment that i wasn t sure how it fit in with the rest of the dream but i finally figured it out this must have been my oscar clip you know the scene they play right before they announce the winner it sounds like the perfect moment if i was going for the supportive girlfriend nomination that happens nearly every year not usually in supporting actor but you catch my drift apparently the clip worked because the next morning i was at my house with my little gold man in tow what really surprised me was the fact that i wasn t taking my oscar everywhere i went i always figured that after i won that little statue would be coming into the bathroom with me i would not let anyone forget for a second that i was a fucking academy award winner if someone disagreed with me i d shove that oscar in their face and say do you have an oscar what s that you don t then your opinion means nothing in other words i d be even more obnoxious than i already am in the dream however i was surprisingly chill i walked outside and started talking to my neighbor emmy winner jane lynch she was filming a new sitcom a celebreality parody show in her own house we had a wooden fence between our yards much like the one between the taylors and wilson on home improvement and bantered for quite a bit at some point previously i had guest starred on her show and i made a particularly amusing quip about how she had to write her lines on my car mirror because she couldn t remember them when i was on her show okay so it s not quite so good in retrospect but it worked in the dream maybe jane was just in awe of my oscar after that delicious snark session a previous oscar winner stopped by to congratulate me christian bale of all people i m pretty sure he still had that horrible beard nonsense going on which is a shame but i still appreciated the gesture what slayed me about his visit though was the fact that he called my acceptance speech sassy ha can you imagine christian bale calling anything sassy let alone an acceptance speech by little ole me when bale left i went back to my bff jane lynch for some girl talk she was taking a break from shooting with a new guest star candice bergen yes murphy brown herself was also in my dream i told you this was an all star ensemble candice was everything you d expect her to be with that voice and that disapproving sarcasm the way jane and candice were talking it kinda reminded me of the episode of will and grace where candice bergen makes a cameo as karen s best friend arch nemesis as i was leaving jane and candice and heading back into my house i half jokingly mentioned that i was disappointed i hadn t heard from oprah yet about doing an interview since i was a hot shot oscar winner i know i said i was half joking but come on this is me we re talking about you know that i would win an oscar just so i could sit down and have a conversation with oprah well after i had been home for a bit i heard a knock at my back door i went to answer and there were two people standing there one holding a camera and another holding up some kind of monitor they turned the monitor on and who do you think appeared ready to speak with me about my oscar win up until this point i had been really cool about winning the damn oscar when i saw that face though i completely lost it i screamed oprahhhhhhh in the highest pitched voice you can imagine it would be totally embarrassing if it wasn t me we were talking about just imagine what i would have done if she had actually been there this is where my dream ended unfortunately as i had to get up and go to work how dare they interrupt our lord and savior trying to interview an oscar winner sorry if this was completely long winded and dumb but i thought it was just so ridiculous and specific that i had to share it now i need to plot how i m going to win my own oscar posted by dame james at 8 20 pm 1 comment labels christian bale dreams jane

the nanny viola davis tuesday march 8 2011 the five films that made me a critic a few weeks ago the hosts of the newly revamped at the movies ignatiy vishnevetsky and christy lemire took a break from reviewing the latest flicks and spent the half hour discussing the five films that made them want to become a critic the show was a riot mostly because christy insisted on picking obvious films the wizard of oz the breakfast club and was almost embarrassed by her one excursion outside of hollywood nights of cabiria while ignatiy picked relatively obscure films even from iconic directors like jean luc godard and d w griffith but afterwards the exercise stuck with me and i thought it would be fun to talk about here it happened one night the one that started it all was one of those happy random moments that you can only describe as divine intervention for some reason i had been researching the greatest movies of all time and saw that this 1934 comedy had appeared on multiple lists i remember being curious that a comedy a romantic comedy at that was so widely beloved when at that time i perceived that dramas quality i decided that i had to see what all the fuss was about so i went out and rented it having just been previously obsessed with old tv shows like i love lucy and the jeffersons watching old stuff wasn t anything unusual for me seeing it happened one night for the first time however truly changed my life i adored the film so much so i watched it twice in two days having such a positive experience with capra company i decided to start exploring other older films to see what they offered the rest as they say is history gone with the wind when i first saw gone with the wind in junior high at my mother insistence i had no clue that it would someday end up as my favorite film ever i enjoyed the film but it was in no way life changing cut to a couple years later when i decide to start reading the novel on the spur of the moment i start slowly but eventually i can t put the damn thing down then one day during spring break i m tearing through the last couple hundred pages crying like a baby the entire time even though i knew exactly what was coming my love for the novel led me back to the movie and it instantly became my favorite to this date there are very few movies in my life i think i ve seen more times than this nearly four hour beast spice world and aladdin quickly c ome to mind if it happened one night ignited my passion for movies gone with the wind cemented it breathless i first saw breathless in one of those undergraduate film survey courses that non film major students bitch about because they are shocked we are studying 50 year old foreign films instead of titanic and adam sandler s filmography breathless wasn t the first french new wave film i had ever seen i had seen and loved the 400 blows twice by this point but it was the one that ignited my passion for the movement watching the film was literally a revelatory moment before never before had i seen such an engaging film done in such an atypical shooting style breathless was the first film that opened my mind to the idea that films were much more than its story a scant nearly non existent story could still make for a fun fast loose cool film with the proper director setting the right mood through such simple things as non linear editing and costuming rear window it took me many years to come to this conclusion but rear window is easily the best film alfred hitchcock ever made i never really got what this film was all about until my third viewing which happened in my very first film course over the years i literally saw it in every single film course i had in college and i loved it more and more every time even as i was getting slightly bored with my then favorite hitchcock psycho rear window offered something new and fascinating every time i saw it the main reason i chose rear window is simply because this film proved to me that sometimes you need to watch a film multiple times to truly get what the filmmaker was attempting and that the best films are the ones that stand up to repeated viewings kill bill volume 1 i spoke a little about my history with kill bill volume 1 before and looking back i really see it as a turning point in my movie watching normally i would have been put off by tarantino s gore fest but i saw something unique and special in all the violence and gallons of blood i m still proud that at 16 i was able to look beyond my own limited tastes and appreciate something out of the ordinary it was a high point in the early stage of my cinephilia what about you what were the films that turned you into a movie lover posted by dame james at 1 10 am 1 comment labels alfred hitchcock film criticism frank capra french
