i also watched all the boys love mandy lane which was reasonably ok, tho the end is deeply stupid

i didn't hate this one, but i also didn't really see the point. the attempt to keep the title character mysterious so as to make the ending "shocking" just translated into title character being a dull cipher.
i thoroughly enjoyed dredd. cinematography was really smart, mix of a variety of film-like and video-like effects to good purpose. i guess it bombed pretty badly, not even making back its (not all that high) production budget internationally.
dumb question, but does netflix just pay a lump fee for a bunch of films or do they actually keep track of "views" and provide royalties on that basis? if something is a "hit" on netflix, does the studio see any more money, as they would with physical-media sales?

i didn't hate Mandy Lane, either, but the ending wasn't shocking in the least imo---the fact that the baddy was outed fairly early on made the "shocking" ending pretty well telegraphed, i thought.

lump fees that get negotiated on a regular basis, from what I've been told.

I briefly considered out of morbid curiosity but opted against it. The fact that I did the same thing for The Croods today says a lot.

dan clowes and ivan brunetti are featured a lot in the "shut up little man" doc, which is a little weird because i don't think i've seen them featured quite so much in even comic documentaries.

i watched in bruges last night and enjoyed it. not the best movie ever, but i liked it. funny and sad. i like movies whre SPOILERSSSSSS the main characters die

The Croods is not a good movie, but it does have some surprisingly trippy visuals after a very brown and dull first act - like a Yes album cover come to life.

saw it with an audience of nurses (some from the oakland area) and the Q&A after was petty, angry and occasionally deeply heartfeltwatched the first fifteen minutes of act of killing while eating tomato soup and promptly shut that down for less gustatory times

There's something wrong with people who enjoy the chilling inevitability of humans in a little tin can being snuffed out until none are left. I feel the same way about undersea "thrillers" only at least those are ON EARTH.

Which reminds me, I loved the Smithsonian Channel's Air Disasters series. Its greatest lesson: Don't fly in the 1970s. Also, flying is SUPER safe.
― Je55e, Tuesday, 11 February 2014 05:13 (ten years ago) link
I am crazy addicted to that show for that very great reason as well as some salient secondary lessons like: don't fly through St. Elmo's Fire, don't fly over Africa when your plane is on fire, and piping in live POV video of your takeoff to passengers isn't such a hot idea when your plane's engine flips off the wing and you bank hard into a crash. Oh, and pilots probably shouldn't let their 15-year-old sons sit in the driver's seat and disable autopilot.
