Mr. Gitz

@VoluntaryMoron @JosephKahn Exactly. 1 complaint u see again & again is “why aren’t there any memorable themes in movie music”. U see it all the time. The problem is Zimmer has such a stranglehold on the composer industry(50-70% are ghost writing acolytes of his company “Remote Control” aka a score factory)

@MrGitz @JosephKahn Yeah he couldn’t be more wrong. The audience didn’t start this trend, film scholars, critics, etc, they started this trend (call it around 2000), where music wasn’t to be noticed. Danny Elfman has talked about this at length

The problem with Spielberg's style, which I love, is that music telegraphs a lot of the emotion. Modern audiences find this old fashioned. They like no underscore and definitely no leitmotifs, yet they want a faster pace. So in camera blocking gets dropped for more edit based filmmaking - Nolan/Villeneuve. I like the latter too, but as a child of the 80s I die for Spielberg's classical blocking.

@anthonyTkim @Clint_Davey1 The movie bombed and was derided by critics. It’s only become a satire classic after home video and people realized the “good guys” are Nazi fascists

@Clint_Davey1 Having read the Starship Troopers novel, I recognize many elements of Heinlein's military meritocracy ideas in the movie. Regardless of the director's intent, the author's ideas shone through anyway, and the audiences clearly resonated with those ideas.

Getting slammed for my lack of "media literacy" over the Barbie movie. Here's the best example to explain the point. Starship Troopers was supposed to be a satire of American militarism/nationalism. We know this because Verhoeven said so, and because it looks like propaganda from within the world being depicted. But when audiences just watch the movie, it has a totally opposite effect than what the artist intended. Handsome, competent, brave humans are fighting for the survival of humanity against giant bug monsters. So naturally nearly all normal humans watching this side with the humans. This includes people who know the movie is meant to be satire. So, we can conclude that the artist failed in his objective. The actual effect of the movie is very different from his intentions. Is this "media literacy"?

@TNTransparency I think yours a rude dick head. Like…how obvious and stupid can you be? You are disrespectful. Aggressive. And worse? A douche.

Toronto Police supervisor assaults drone operator. TPS are well known for corruption and shady practices. Please let us know what you think.

@EricEngels Embarrassing

Eric Robinson makes it 3-0 Canes.

@ryanzlund @EricEngels I’m not saying bring Price out. But don’t bring Halak! It’s a joke bringing him out.

@MrGitz @EricEngels Price is under contract with the San Jose Sharks. That would be weird

Bah Gawd! On Jakub Dobes birthday, Halak comes out with the torch and a Dobes stop sign

@JosephKahn U think audiences prefer this? Come on man. That’s some BS studio suit speak. Audiences LOVE memorable themes. It’s wired into our brains. How do I know this? Watch an audience react to hearing the first few notes of the Harry Potter theme. Or Lord of the Rings. Star Wars etc

The modern style of musical scoring is Fincher/Reznerian ambient undertones or Nolan/Zimmer Sheparding

@guy_eagles @zakfilm Also. What’s up with the deleted posts? Realize you were misguided?

Can’t believe that delusional Nolan and Villeneuve stan said Spielberg now can’t compete when he’s just about to have an insane 2020s run with West Side Story, The Fabelmans and Disclosure Day.

@guy_eagles @zakfilm There’re 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who kno War of the Worlds fucking COOKS & the less enlightened people like yourself. The 1st appearance of the Tripods alone is better than any action beat Nolan’s done. War of the Worlds big flaw is its ending when the kid survives

@guy_eagles @zakfilm “Are just ok” is 90% of Nolan’s filmography. He’s never held title for highest grossing movie. Spielberg’s done it MULTIPLE times when tickets were dirt cheap. There’s no comparison. Nolan can’t direct action. Spielberg can do it in his sleep.

@guy_eagles @zakfilm “Like he use to” is moving the goal posts hard. I sound like a hater? I love Villeneuve. Nolan is overrated. But comparing them to the guy who made Jaws, Close Encounters, Raiders, E,T & Poltergeist in less than a decade? Made Jurassic Park & Schindlers list IN THE SAME YEAR?

@guy_eagles @zakfilm Spielberg is so far beyond needing to compete. No one has had a mainstream run anywhere close to his. Villeneuve has legit talent. But Nolan? Dude made the most unimaginative movie about dreams ever. Nolan made the most unimpressive nuclear bomb explosion in film history.

@zakfilm From a financial standpoint, Spielberg can’t compete.

@mjarbo It was awful & worst of all? Forgettable. Too much of it looked like a video game & Mangold feels way out of his depth. Gore Verbinski would’ve been my choice. This was an empty husk. It was too long. A $300 million fan film. Indy 4 was far better(competent) & at least memorable

With THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU in theaters, scratching that pulpy Lucasfilm adventure itch, I have been thinking a lot about INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY as it approaches its third anniversary. People were way too harsh on this movie. I understand why audiences may have been hesitant. Set leaks involving Roman soldiers made people nervous about the time-travel element, while the usual culture-war crowd spent months insisting Helena was going to replace Indy by the end of the movie. That obviously did not happen. What we actually got was one final adventure with a man who spent his entire life trying to understand history, only to reach the end and realize he no longer understood where he fit into it. That is what made the movie work for me. Indy does not know he is going on a time-travel adventure at the beginning. He is just an old man who has lost too much, feels left behind by the modern world, and gets pulled into another hunt for an artifact. Then, at the end, he finally gets the one thing he has chased his entire life: the chance to actually live inside history. And he wants to stay there. I also love how much it feels like a spiritual companion to TEMPLE OF DOOM. It is strange, pulpy, darker than people expected, and far more emotional than it was given credit for. By the time Marion walks back into that apartment at the end, I was tearing up like crazy. Was it the financial hit Disney wanted? No. But as a final Indiana Jones adventure, I think *Dial of Destiny* is quite wonderful. I really wish more people had given it a fair chance.

@Timcast Are you fucking stupid or what? Do you need to hear the tape where Trumps brags about raping women? “Grab em by the pussy”. Also. How many lies has Trump told? Try holding him accountable you bald incel.

OH SHIT SHE LIED??! THE WHOLE THING IS FALLING APART

@dawnofthediscs So Howcome you credited me here and not on your Troy and Last Samurai? You obviously got that from me on blu ray.

@Dega87A22 @dawnofthediscs My posts on the blu ray forums are his source. it’s clear he looked at my post history on blu ray. He credited me for The Sopranos but didn’t credit me for Troy or Last Samurai. I mentioned Kill BILL TWBA was going up for pre order last week & he took that.

@dawnofthediscs Is it released directly by Warner???? Need a source!!

@EricEngels It’s over. What’s sad is I think Vegas is a very beatable team. So we won here, we’d have a shot. Oh well.

Canadiens start the second period with Anderson, Bolduc and Danault as a line.

@cperez3220 @marklevinshow Lmao. You have zero idea what you’re talking about.

@marklevinshow You're nicer than I am Mark. I consider their recent moves a threat to our national security and think we should go after them full force politically and diplomatically for now. We can't have China loving muslim run neighbors. NOPE.

I never thought I’d say this. But … time to cut relations with Canada unless and until they get their Islamist Nazis under control.  It’s becoming unlivable for Jews and it sits on our border.

@RealDealYup @EricEngels Don’t be a dope. They aren’t going to win with 12 shots a fuckin game. & guess what? They aren’t winning. They won a single game off a rusty team. Now they look like chumps instead of would be champs. With Vegas probably winning the west this could’ve been an opportunity.

@MrGitz @EricEngels Is it most shots or most goals that wins?

They must've ruled Caufield wasn't in possession coming over the blue on the orginal entry. Dobson goal wiped.
