that’s nearly unprecedented for a movie of this size. it’s hard to think of many comparable films that weren’t screened for critics in advance: as scott mendelson points out at forbes, the closest comparisons are probably the 2014 hercules movie starring dwayne johnson, and 2009’s g. i. joe: rise of the cobra, a $ 175 million film based on a toy line that wasn’t quite the successful franchise starter it was obviously intended to be .

founded in 1950 through the enthusiasm of the athens association of film critics, it wasn’t until the 1960s that key members of the association, artists and writers, formalized their activities to establish this nonprofit cultural institution as it is known today. this initiative was led by aglaia mitropoulou, whose close collaboration and exchange with the french cinémathèque was significant to the archive’s development. such relationships continue, and the greek film archive and film museum remains committed to the research, collection, conservation, and promotion of greek and international film heritage. with its strong tradition of presenting, discussing, and analyzing films and other relevant documents, the greek film archive hosts the premieres and special cinema screenings of the work of documenta 14 filmmakers in athens .

every christmas season, there’s at least one film that rumbles into theaters with the sole purpose of yanking tears from its most cold - hearted viewers. enter a monster calls, a story about a young boy wrestling with his mother’s terminal illness. in a way, the film succeeds; it’s hard not to get choked up at a premise like that. but as the movie rumbled toward its inevitably devastating conclusion, the chief emotion i felt wasn’t sadness but annoyance at the dashed grander potential .
he added: “i reached deep into myself and saw what this film was about, and i think it’s clear that audiences have responded. it’s is a very, very special film to me. ”
so, what wasn’t filmed in front of a live audience? one example is the cliffhanger in the season four finale, “the one with ross’s wedding. ” at the end of the episode, ross is about to marry emily, but accidentally says rachel’s name at the altar. “we couldn’t have an audience for that, ” aniston said. “we always remove the audience for the cliffhangers because, obvious reasons, you don’t want to spoil it. ”

“i don’t think i was that aware really of how famous harry was, ” nolan said on friday (july 7). “i mean, my daughter had talked about him. my kids talked about him, but i wasn’t really that aware of it. so the truth is, i cast harry because he fit the part wonderfully and truly earned a seat at the table. ”

production on the film was bumpy, which is more frequent at pixar than might be assumed. faced with story and scheduling complications in 2010, mr. lasseter ended up taking over the film from brad lewis, a first - time director who ultimately left the studio. if getting “cars 2” back on the road wasn’t big enough, mr. lasseter soon suffered the death of his father, paul. he also broke his arm .
when director nick broomfield sent a working edit of the film, i was so disturbed by the subject matter that i couldn’t even watch it. aileen wuornos led a tortured, torturing life that is beyond my worst nightmares. it wasn’t until i was told that aileen spent many hours listening to my album “tigerlily” while on death row and requested “carnival” be played at her funeral that i gave permission for the use of the song. it’s very odd to think of the places my music can go once it leaves my hands. if it gave her some solace, i have to be grateful .
that incident is one of many acts of militant suffrage depicted in new film suffragette, which is released in the uk on october 12 .

what the film does so well is to depict just how united the suffragettes were behind a single cause .
we’d been cutting on film for many years but we found that the infrastructure for cutting on film was just disappearing. the biggest problem was the cost of printing the sound rushes on mag stock and also printing all the film rushes. it was more than i could justify so, reluctantly, we cut on avid. it has some advantages but i found cutting on film was a more human way of working – you can see what you’ve done at the end of the day. avid seems quicker but i don' t think the overall time taken is any less. i just find the tactile quality of film is more interesting .
roderick jaynes is the pseudonym employed by the brothers joel and ethan coen to disguise the editing of the films they otherwise produce, direct, and write together under one or both of their given names. the use of this fictive persona (a source that dares not speak its name) in regard to the neo - noir ultimately released as the man who wasn’t there (2001) is doubly ironic. here it foregrounds a similar subterfuge of identification in the film itself, a subterfuge that has gone largely unnoticed or at least not remarked on in the discourse surrounding the film. 1

declining to screen a film for critics before release is usually a pretty strong sign that the movie isn’t any good — or at least that the studio believes critics won’t like it. (although some early reviews of independence day: resurgence do appear to be relatively kind .) it can also be read as a signal that with a presold, megabudget sequel like this, the studio’s marketing team thinks critics simply don’t matter: it’s an independence day sequel. your decision to buy a ticket won’t have anything to do with whether a critic liked it or not .
part of the problem was that the thing opened two weeks after e. t. and while e. t. featured a benevolent alien and a happy ending, the thing starred a violent, evil alien and had an ending that left audiences scratching their heads a bit .
that sentiment is precisely what critics of to the bone have warned about: that the film glamorizes eating disorders and calorie counting and might serve as an instructional video on how best to have an eating disorder .
now, keene says, she’s glad about depp’s casting because it means a native person isn’t “embroiled in that mess. ”
though it’s often cited as a remake of the 1951 film the thing from another world, it’s really not. though the two films do share the same source material—john w. campbell jr. ’s 1938 story, “who goes there? ”— carpenter was clear that he “didn’t want to compete with the old film, which was greatly beloved by me. so i went back the novella [ on ] which both films were based. ” unlike the 1951 film, carpenter’s movie features a creature that can perfectly imitate its victims .
as for where “the daily show” falls on that continuum, stewart admits that it’s probably at the intersection of the two extremes .
kudrow said that she was surprised to hear perry’s interpretation of chandler at the first table read because when she first read the script, she thought chandler was supposed to be gay. and she wasn’t the only one. during the first few seasons of the show, many fans speculated about chandler’s sexual orientation. in 1997, david crane told entertainment weekly, “no, chandler isn’t gay. nor will he be gay. ”
winston, known for his work on movies like aliens, predator, edward scissorhands, and jurassic park, would not accept credit on the film, however, as he was adamant that it was “rob’s film. ” winston was thanked in the final credits .
as the truck rams the car over the cliff and falls off in the final film, there is a low roar sound effect that the filmmaker included to emphasize the death of the truck. spielberg, who wanted the truck to seem

carpenter does, however, pay homage to the earlier film, most notably in the scene where he shows the alien’s icy tomb that has been removed from the snow and in the main title sequence .

russell threw an actual stick of dynamite during a scene toward the end of the film. he did not, however, anticipate it being so powerful. russell was literally blown backwards after the device detonated; this take was left in the film .
as for the working title, “ not to float” suggests submersion, something kept beneath the surface, and what in a hollywood film is more likely treated as submerged (“subtextual, ” if you will) than the representation of a homosexual? yet “pansies don’t float, ” like “roderick jaynes, ” both shrouds and reveals, for, as we will show, more than one “pansy” (beyond the secondary character openly disclosed as homosexual) lurks beneath the surface of the man who wasn’t there. besides “outing” none other than the film’s protagonist, and assessing the significance of his “closeted” gayness, this essay will analyze the relation of homosexual submersion to film noir as a genre specifically, and to the issue of “gay representability” in american commercial cinema as a whole .

they choose this room, which is a very inaccurate replica of french architecture (deliberately so, inaccurate) because one was suggesting that they had some idea of something that he might think was pretty, but wasn’t quite sure. just as we’re not quite sure what do in zoos with animals to try to give them what we think is their natural environment .
if i do it, all the components need to be right. that’s not a movie i can compromise with. she’s been a big part of my life; at crucial moments, she was like an angel when i wasn’t in a good place. i have a painting in my house that’s four metres long that this swedish artist did for me. it has ravens and the lyrics of back to black. when i left sweden after my divorce (4), that was what i brought with me. so the film needs to be close to my heart and done the right way. and if not, it won’t be me doing it. it’s too precious to gamble with .
i was naïve in my belief that a public outcry would ensue. critics praised the film, but with regard to the topic itself, there was absolute silence. it was as if the events described in the film had taken place somewhere far away. it was as if we bear no responsibility .
when the t - 1000 goes through the doors in the mental institution? turns out that if you hold a can of dog food upside down, the sound of that cylinder slowly coming out of the can is the perfect combination of mud, metal, and suction. that sound effect cost 75 cents .
while the film was underway, we were informed that i had been awarded the israel prize. the headline on the front page of the yediot ahronot newspaper read ,
israel prize winner making film about the secret service' s' torture chambers.'
i was stunned by how it was worded. the use of the term
torture chambers
was ironic. perhaps it was intended to harm the film, and perhaps even to suggest that the state of israel' s highest prize would be given to a traitor .

as soon as the video was displayed on tmz, peta called for a boycott of the movie and i began receiving messages on twitter that ranged from polite questions about what happened to harsh anger. i wasn’t surprised nor resistant to this messaging, as i have also called for boycotts against those whom i felt are doing wrong to animals .
one negatively reviewed film, especially one that goes on to become a megahit, isn’t enough to scratch the pixar brand. but the commentary did dent morale at the studio, which until then had enjoyed an unbroken and perhaps unprecedented run of critical acclaim. reviewing the film for the wall street journal, joe morgenstern wrote, “this frenzied sequel seldom gets beyond mediocrity, ” perhaps suggesting that the creative spark that had guided pixar so successfully through 11 straight hits — including three “toy story” films — was beginning to dim .
eagle - eyed viewers will catch the word “flammable” scrawled across the back of the truck, yet when it careens off the cliff at the end of the movie it doesn’t go boom. the studio wanted a big explosion, but the director wanted a slower demise for his film’s villain .

stewart wasn’t entirely convinced he should — or could — direct the thing, but he didn’t let that stand in his way. “oh, i’m still not convinced, ” he says. “if you wait to be convinced that you can do something, you’ll never do anything. people always ask me, ‘how do i become a comedian? ’ and i always say, ‘well, i think one thing you should do is get on stage and tell jokes. ’ ”

lisa marie roberts’s original lawyer wasn’t one of them. there were reasons to suspect her: she had a tumultuous, sometimes violent relationship with the victim, jerri williams. cell records showed that at 10: 27 on the morning of the murder, roberts’s phone connected to a tower within 3. 4 miles of kelley point park, where williams’s body was discovered. her attorney felt that was enough to convict her .

exclusive: learning today that his script the hateful eight leaked after he gave it to a small circle of actors, quentin tarantino tells me that he’s so upset that he has decided that he will not direct that film next. so basically that means the conversation that will be circulating around town following this story with tarantino goes from an ensemble western to a whodunit. as in, which actor or their reps leaked the script that, as a result, is going on the shelf — literally a bookstore shelf, because tarantino tells me he will publish it first and maybe revisit the prospect of a movie in the next five years .
chu’s meticulous, unconventional approach meant much of the attention he attracted was negative, but it wasn’t just his approach that people called out. much of that negativity was outright racist vitriol aimed at chu’s asian - american identity. since his run on the game show turned him into something of a public figure, chu has somewhat embraced that identity, speaking out about various social issues in public appearances and from his @ arthur _ affect twitter handle with more than 35, 000 followers .
i was once young, and have since grown old, and i have yet to understand the apathy with which the issues raised in the film were received, just as i do not yet understand the laughter that erupted in the audience when i was suffering on stage in that student production .
[ the film ] makes me feel like there' s something wrong with me ,

it makes me feel like other people are watching this film... thinking,' god, how awful that is, how bad i feel for this young woman.'
well it’s the old phrase isn’t it: ‘agitate, educate, organise. ’ you can agitate with a film – you can’t educate much, though you can ask questions – and you can’t organise at all, but you can agitate. and i think to agitate is a great aim because being complacent about things that are intolerable is just not acceptable. characters trapped in situations where the implicit conflict has to be played out, that is the essence of drama. and if you can find that drama in things that are not only universal but have a real relevance to what’s going on in the world, then that’s all the better. i think anger can be very constructive if it can be used; anger that leaves the audience with something unresolved in their mind, something to do, something challenging .

for it was wilding' s violent death that finally brought the suffragettes to the world' s attention. the film depicts it unflinchingly and shows real footage of the hundreds of women who marched behind her coffin through the streets of london .
in the words of the prophet beyoncé, paramount pictures ain’t sorry. if mother! ’s mania wasn’t for you, then … maybe there’s a sleepy showing of tulip fever you could slip into? the studio is standing behind darren aronofsky’s controversial film and its “f” cinemascore rating. (to be fair, the emoji movie has a “b” rating, so maybe take this with a grain of salt .) paramount’s worldwide president of marketing and distribution megan colligan spoke to the hollywood reporter about the critics and audiences who were disgusted that the studio would release such a gruesome movie. colligan basically says that aronofsky is an auteur, jennifer lawrence is a star, and not everything has to be palatable. per thr :
the film leaves it to the viewer to decide whether the more extreme actions of the suffragettes could be justified. there are certainly moments of pure triumph against the lascivious male characters but there are also flickers of pure violence that risked injury to the innocent .
in order to capture the contemplative persona of the novel’s main character, the film’s writing team suggested modeling its narration after the michael caine film alfie, in which caine regularly addresses the audience straight on. cusack was hesitant, telling the new york times in 2000, “i vetoed that idea. i thought there' d just be too much of me. ” it was only after director stephen frears joined the team that cusack regained confidence in the device .
in this film the characters are explored more fully. both katie and dan are seen in extremis. in the end, their natural cheerfulness and resilience are not enough. certainly politically the world that this film shows is even more cruel than the world that cathy was in. the market economy has led us inexorably to this disaster. it could not do otherwise. it generates a working class that is vulnerable and easy to exploit. those who struggle to survive face poverty. it’s either the fault of the system or it’s the fault of the people. they don’t want to change the system, therefore they have to say it’s the fault of the people .
in the fall of 2011, the administrative board ruled that winston was responsible for sexual harassment, and he was put on what the school calls “dismission, ” a form of expulsion that would allow him to reapply for admission. in the film, the finding against winston is presented as a rare triumph, though a fleeting one. willingham says in the movie that upon returning to cambridge in september, she received a facebook message from the dean of students, who wanted to meet with her. (willingham had graduated from the law school; she was back in cambridge for a teaching fellowship in the sociology department of harvard college .) the meeting was to deliver the news that winston’s dismission had been overturned by the faculty. but the movie is misleading on the process and the timeline. winston missed the entire 2011–2012 academic year because of the finding of the administrative board. during that year, he was barred from attending classes while his case slowly worked its way through the law school’s disciplinary process; at that time, expulsion required that two - thirds of the faculty vote to ratify the ruling. it wasn’t until the spring of 2012 that the faculty, after reviewing the testimony from the administrative hearing, voted to dismiss the charges against winston and allow his return that fall .

was the most expensive film ever made at that point, and it all hinged on this liquid metal guy. so now we’re making, essentially, one of the two main characters of a $ 100 million movie a cg effect. that was really scary .
the universal story of people struggling to survive was the starting point. but then the characters and the situation have to be grounded in lived experience. if we look hard enough, we can all see the conscious cruelty at the heart of the state’s provision for those in desperate need and the use of bureaucracy, the intentional inefficiency of bureaucracy, as a political weapon: ‘this is what happens if you don’t work; if you don’t find work you will suffer. ’ the anger at that was the motive behind the film .
everybody says, “oh, you’re going to replace actors. ” you can’t replace actors. we’ve created duplicates, clones, but they can’t act. they’re a computer, for god’s sake .
hijuelos said that authorities don' t have a good sense of the full impact of the disaster. news reports from mexico on wednesday afternoon showed that rescuers were still in the early stages of going through rubble piles to look for trapped people and bodies .
“the main objective of a premium vod (video on demand) release is to try to get more income from vod than you might expect from just a standard vod release, ” says a source at bulldog film distribution. “misconduct definitely wasn’t a flop for us as a distributor, despite only making a few thousand pounds at the box office. theatrical is just one area of the whole release and other areas, including pvod, are much more positive. ”

as for depp, he told npr that his version of tonto has to give a peek at the stereotypes that exist so that, when the stereotypes are flipped, the audience can recognize it. well - meaning efforts aside, keene doesn’t see it that way. “it would have been really cool and powerful if tonto was just another guy who happened to be indian, if they didn’t have to go into the whole mystical, spiritual fantasy element, ” she says. “just let tonto be a person. that would be really powerful. ”
