Bill Hicks was a pseudo intellectual hack.
And yet, he made more people think than you ever will. Funny how that works, isn't it?

I blame bill hicks for turning me into a smoker

Really makes OP think.
Your absolutely favourite bad ending.

The end of Star Wars III. I know it's not a very good movie, but I feel like it was a solid ending.

>sound of the TIE fighters
>"Padme's Destiny" mixed with "Imperial March"
>Vader and Palpatine look at the construction of the Death Star prototype
>>79055942
No movie has ever made me legitimately angry, until I saw that Turkish movie about the Fall of Constantinople.
>Byzantines are blonde-haired, blue-eyed, decadent people who party all day, the women wear miniskirts and are modern western sluts (even though in real life they were very conservative religious greeks)
>Ottomans are good muslims who dindu nuffin
It was such a blatant, disgusting piece of propaganda. My professor showed it to us after a semester of learning Byzantine history, and I think he did it with the deliberate intent of making us angry (he's a deeply conservative man, probably wanted to get us mad at the turks). And worst of all, apparently it was very popular in Turkey (which has a population of 90 million) and much of the Arab world. So many people, being fed blatant lies....it makes me sick.
Gonna kill you....gonna kill you...

There will never be a movie with a white male protagonist ever again
Eh, Trump could squash hollywood in the next four years, get some Peckinpah type cinema going again.

At the 89th Academy awards, the best picture nominees include:
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
La La Land
Manchester by the Sea
What's that? These are just shitty Oscar bait movies that nobody actually cares about? Let's look at some upcoming capeshit films:
Logan
Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Thor: Ragnarok
Justice League
that's quite a lot of white male protagonists, wouldn't you agree?
The other thread got off to a terrible start, so let's try again.
What are you working on right now? What can you show us?
I'm gonna be shooting a short based on a one-page mostly dialogue-less script I wrote that's basically one long JJBA reference. After that, I'm gonna do a lightsaber fighting short.
None of these projects are particularly "professional"In fact they're downright amateurishbut I haven't made anything in a while and if I ever actually want to make something of myself as a director I gotta get practice in where I can.
Well I recently finished editing this up. It was an absolute no budget project shot in half a day with help from two friends but it came out alright. It's flawed but I like it.

I also wrapped post on a bigger project (20 people, small budget, shot Anamorphic) last night but can't share that yet.

Nice, very nice. Might wanna work on your sound mixing, but it's a no-budget short that doesn't immediately make me want to kill myself and for that I applaud you.
Would have been neat to see blood spraying out when he's smashing homeboy's head in the toilet. Also that song running througjout was a bit grating, and detracted from the tension imo.
>>79056501
Yeah I acknowledge the music is pretty iffy, trying to give the "club bathroom vibe" but it wasn't entirely successful. Sadly I don't know many electronic musicians and I'll be Fucked if I can offer more than a pint of guiness to a friend as a licensing fee. Blood spray would indeed have been cool but the whole thing was thrown together to quickly to work on a blood spray rig. Sound mix is straight Shit and I have no excuse for that.
Thanks for the critique and kind words though.

Aging. If only they stayed young.
Is American Pie an implicit part of white identity?
what?
I'm pretty sure all those kids were Jewish.

white people are disgusting
Which looks better?

Why are the wings on kylos ship so freakishly out of proportion
>>79055153
bottom. The lighting of the two ships is real and not artificial, the framing is perfect, the stars are brighter in the bottom, the subject is minimal and clean vs the top image
That scene from Ep 7 was so un-memorable that I didn't even realize what it was from until the other anon mentioned it. That's how heartless and pointless that worthless movie was.
I hate you, Abrams. For fuck's sake, I understand that you want to get paid, but couldn't you have at least tried to make something somewhat exciting? That builds on the original and makes something new, not a carbon copy? This movie would have made bank regardless, anything with "Star Wars" in the name is an instant money maker, even that World of Warcraft clone they made was profitable because they called it "Star Wars". You had an opportunity to make something new, to put your mark on the series, but you just copied the original.
Where is your creativity? Your sense of artistic integrity? Surely that's what made you want to become a director in the first place? You have been gunning for the Star Wars job for years, that Star Trek movie might as well have been called "Abrams' Star Wars Demo Tape", but this is the best you could crap out? Are you kidding me? I could have come up with something better.
Alright, so I want to keep momentum going after I finish my next short film, so I don't fall into another creative slump and don't make anything for another year.
A friend of mine fights with lightsabers as a hobby, and seeing as Star Wars is undergoing a bit of a resurgence I figured it'd be the perfect opportunity to go ahead and make a little lightsaber fight video like what used to be the shit back in the mid 2000's.
I'm aware of my limits in terms of what I can and cannot do; no fancy jumping flips, no unrealistic camera moves, minimal force usage, just two guys fighting with laser swords. Very down-to-basics, but I feel I can work within those limitations.
I'm looking to see how could I make this the best possible short I can make with the minimal equipment I have available (Canon 70D, tripod, 2 LEDs, my phone, and a DJI Osmo).
What can I do to make this NOT look like it was shot on a budget of jack and/or shit?
Also post your favorite lightsaber fights, for inspiration.
Bump
Come on at least one of you fuckers can help me out right?
It's a bad idea
sorry
>>79055913
Why?
It's not like high fuckin' art but it's practice and that's worth something.
Is this a viable fighting stance?
>>79055082
This scene gave me a latex fetish.
Ever since then I've bought a few to wear.
>>79055082
it was at that exact moment, only a few minutes into the 2nd film that i new both sequels would be an unendurable mess
>>79055110
Guys in latex just look gay as fuck. It's only sexy when a woman wear it.
Was he not merciful?
He was /ourguy/

Not 1 person in Hollywood has the integrity to criticise China.
Even now as China buys out all of Hollywood's studios like a bunch of seaside estates, no one has the temerity to voice their concerns.
Is Hollywood the most intellectually dishonest place on the planet?
>Is Hollywood the most intellectually dishonest place on the planet?
duh
>>79054947
buying the studios isn't worth criticizing, shoehorning things into films just to appeal to the Chinese however, is worth criticizing.
>>79054947
I would rather films pander to superior chink culture than to a bunch of blue haired SJW lesbians and nu-males
