I’ve already posted more than one trailer and my reaction to this beautiful and impressive and also, I fear, vastly overrated and overhyped indie monster flick/love story. On the other hand, the imagery is really nice here, so consider this a chance to see what’s best in the movie early.
H/t Cinematical, which reminds us that Hulu videos are not viewable outside North America, so my apologies to any overseas readers.
Freddie Mercury of Queen very sadly passed on back in 1991. On the plus side, that meant he never had got to miss the second “Star Wars” trilogy. Ironically, however, some very talented but so far nameless musical types have married Mercury’s most famous composition to those misbegotten prequels. The result is, needless to say, a lot more entertaining than their source material.
H/t Pajiba.
I could have gone in a lot of different and rather obvious directions for the last entry in this series of clips from work-related movies, “Office Space” and “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” being but two of the more obvious possibilities. However, when it comes to productions that really capture the feeling of struggling to get a job in the real world, and then keeping it and balancing it with other commitments, Steven Soderbergh’s deceptively modest “Erin Brockovich” is one of the very few that really seems to get it.
I would have edited this series of clips a lot differently, but it does give a feeling for the movie. (If you remember “Erin Brockovich” at all you’ll know this is NSFW. Actually, if you put up a camera in most offices and then ran it on YouTube, it would probably be NSFW.)
A bonus and a bit more commentary after the flip.
Another Labor Day inspired clip.
It’s rare that a movie about something you’ve personally experienced actually gets something right, but then one thing a lot (but by no means all) filmmakers know well is the movie business. I never worked for directly anyone quite as powerful or as mean-spirited as Buddy Ackerman, but what I did experience was close enough. This (ironically NSFW) scene from George Huang’s “Swimming with Sharks” definitely brings up the old unpleasant goosebumps. Feel free to skip to 00:20.
Yeah, sure, Kevin Spacey is great at this sort of thing, but I tell you that no actor in the world does scared better than Frank “Check Out the Big Brain on Brad” Whaley.
Another Labor Day weekend inspired video clip.
Remember, any job is easy if you have the right tools.
