Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin in their costumes sitting next to each other, Connery's arm on Baldwin's shoulder, inside the Hunt for Red October's tilting submarine interior set

a contender for my favorite behind-the-scenes photo: The Hunt for Red October crew built their submarine set(s) on top of a hydraulic gimbal, 45 ft above the stage floor, capable of tilting 45 degrees to mimic a sub's movements - Sean Connery said it made him seasick. even the gauges inside worked.

I feel like I've seen it done at least a couple times, though. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning does something very similar during the opening sub sequence (Russian and English voiceovers start to overlap on the words "Sevastopol" and "Operation: Podkova")

happy 36th birthday to one of the best thrillers ever made

screenshot from Pablo Ferro's title sequence for The Thomas Crown Affair, its characters' faces and bodies broken up into geometric, colorful shapes - Steve McQueen occupying the left half, with "The Thomas Crown Affair" above the shapes that contain his eyes and below his forehead

that was Will Trent's title sequence inspired by The Thomas Crown Affair. an episode with 2 storylines: a breezy resort caper inspired by '60s heist movies with a touch of Out of Sight, & in the other - a character grappling with the death of her abusive mother. unfortunately just an incredible show

lmao sorry to trash their song, it just isn't for me outside of Full Contact

It was going to be Robert Duvall

tried watching the music video for Extreme's Get the Funk Out and I was like, oh this kinda sucks. it's pure Ringo Lam magic that he makes it feel like the coolest song ever composed here.

it takes such big weird swings sometimes, I'm always surprised it's on ABC. and everyone's so lovable, which unfortunately probably makes it extra effective copaganda.

eternally it's probably Michael Mann movies and Twin Peaks, currently it's this

they assume Jim Carrey is always yelling and singing and barking like Ace Ventura

"stunts" and "yearning" also my 2 favorite genres

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

yeah the voice sounds no different compared to other interviews he's done - I think they really expect him to be operating at The Mask levels of intensity at all times

the eye color "change" is easily chalked up to lighting or color grading, and his demeanor/voice doesn't seem much different compared to his usual vibe during interviews. he's not always mugging and yelling like Ace Ventura.

I don't really want say anything at all about it, but it's also so completely, insidiously cuckoo that I feel compelled to do a PSA about blepharoplasty. and I was still shocked to receive a reply that was like "ok sure, BUT what about..."

just now finding out that there's a conspiracy theory they cloned Jim Carrey or that this is an impostor lmao. my guy aged, got a bleph and maybe some filler, who cares. grow up

"When I was young, I believed in three things: Marxism, the redemptive power of cinema, and dynamite. Now I just believe in dynamite."

damn - "Ikiru too long and boring" might actually be even more offensive than "Seven Samurai too long and boring."

exactly, there are certain thoughts that are best kept to oneself imho. and "this Kurosawa masterpiece is boring" is somewhere at the top of the list

I muted them in an attempt to be a chiller person, but... it's really bothering me so I might still hit the big block button after all

reply #1 "Of Kurosawa's films I have only seen "Rashomon", "High and Low" and Seven Samurai. I think "High and Low" is great, and "Rashomon" even better. But for all its hype, I found "Seven Samurai" to be very tedious and at least an hour too long." reply #2 "I love all 3 of those, but I do think Seven Samurai is a bit tedious and overly long. One of my favorites of his is Ikiru. It's more a of an intimate,"

it's actually not required by law to share your bad opinions about Seven Samurai with me

🫡 I thought you might like that
