Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

I’m much more baffled by Once Upon A Time In Hollywood being on there. I enjoyed it, but what?

Sound of Freedom outperforming Mission: Impossible at the box office is crazy

I’m sure a lot of the receipts are malarkey, but I’ve heard about at least two people who saw it at a theater. My parents’ Sunday school classmates said it was “eye-opening.”

Bunch of wtf choices on that list

Feels like it was done to troll people

Any relatively mainstream list like that where I haven’t done work for at least 10% of the movies is suspect (I did work for 8 of the movies). It was a very weird list.

Who needs 100 best films when you can have 1,000?

Yea I went to Mission Impossible in IMAX and it was cheaper to get a monthly subscription that included an IMAX ticket than an IMAX ticket itself

Those were the days.

Your strategy makes sense.

The studios are going to light an unimaginable pile of money on fire because they don’t understand at all what made the Barbie movie work. It’s going to be very entertaining.

It’s a list of 10 best movies for each decade since the 1920s, unless you’re extremely old it shouldn’t be surprising that you haven’t worked on most of those lol

it’s a weird editorial choice to have an article like that for a list made by only one of their journalists, but the list itself is mostly standard and only mildly contrarian…any other reaction than “decent list, mine would not be the same” is objectively wrong tbh

(glad to see phoenix(2014) making it for the final decade, this is a great movie !)

View Master film might get me back to the theater tbh, I love metafiction.

LOL an UNO movie?

The sequels just name themselves.

I could swear the Story Break podcast actually did a few of these story ideas already.

Operation would make a good movie - inherently tense game, already involves nudity. Script writes itself imo

I’ve done a tremendous amount of sound work for DVD/Blu-ray among many other things since 2001 (had a whole other career in sound before that), so my filmography covers movies all the way back to the 1920s to today. My earliest movie is The Ace of Hearts (1921).

Edited to Add: The movies from that top 100 list I did work for were Scarface, Out of the Past, Imitation of Life, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, The Right Stuff, Wings of Desire, and Moonlight. I think I originally miscounted one. The place I worked at also did I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, but I didn’t work on that one.

The surgery on your broken heart was successful. However, your funny bone procedure did not go well. As a result, your mended heart will need to be fulfilled without the sense of humour you once had.

We will notify your partner, Charlie Horse, as soon as possible.

Nice, seems like a cool line of work to be in (if you like movies at least), congrats.

Thanks, it’s been very educational and I love that some current directors out there have mentioned that listening to DVD commentaries acted as a quasi-film school for them. I put a lot of effort into the ones I edit and mix but they’re few and far between these days.

Very cool to get so much insight into how Pat made his What if Wes Anderson Made X-Men video .

Had no idea it was part of a larger series of other videos replicating movies in the style of other directors.

Makes sense why he has a lot to say about people/studios doing the same thing by making soulless AI concept drafts.

Watching Devil’s Advocate. Just saw Keanu Reeves’ hairy ass. Was not prepared.

Now I’m at the scene in Trump’s penthouse. Insane.
