In terms of one of your other suggestions though I do like the idea of watching a film from a cinematographer we love but haven't seen one from before. It would also be cool if the reviews were particularly focused upon the cinematography.

I think that should be the goal, even just as a writing exercise - judge the film in the context of the category of the thread, rather than just a generic "It was good/bad because" review.

One of the things I likes about the Reverse Shot idea was that the writers were asked to place the failed film in the context of the director's career and their auteurist tendencies.

Guy in the first picture looks to have about 14 stomach tumors considering the shape of his abdomen.

I'd be down for doing anything where I can pick the film myself. That is to say if we choose a specific genre (film noir?), time period, country, film movement or what have you.

How about African cinema?

Love it. Doubt it'd go over well, though.

Incidentally, La Noire de... was on YouTube last time I checked.

All this talk about film swaps just reminds me I still owe Morris a review about Aliens. Don't worry MS, I'll get it done soon.

Great film, that. Under an hour, if I recall.

As far as I can see, we've got 3 solid and agreeable ideas so far for themes:

-African cinema
-Underseen/Underrated film in a favorite director's catalogue
-Films shot by a certain cinematographer; reviews emphasizing cinematographic aspect

I feel like you could B.S. two paragraphs on Aliens right now if you really wanted to. Go on. Do it.

Might actually watch some movies this weekend.

The Skin I Live In
Bridesmaids
Unknown
Martha Marcy May Marlene...

Apparently, I'm a 2011 whore.

**Ezee E** · 11-18-2011, 05:47 AM

With that, I have a pass for one of my theaters, but there's absolute shit there.

Breaking Dawn
Immortals
Puss in Boots
J. Edgar
Tower Heist
In Time
Some others I can't think of, but I know I'll just sleep through or be bored.

Meh.

I'm down, I grabbed a bunch of African films a while back and only ended up watching about four. Yaaba was the best of the bunch, very good film.

Just call a moratorium on ideas, start all three threads and people will show up or not show up accordingly. I would participate in all three of those and I'm looking to up my review quotient anyway.

**Izzy Black** · 11-18-2011, 05:55 AM

I like the cinematography idea as well. I'd also participate in an African cinema thread.

I'd participate in all 3 myself, but let's let the majority decide what we do.

Come on, folks. Group participation is fun and encourages thoughtful discussion. Try something new. The more, the better.

No, jut let me decide because otherwise nothing will get done.

Punning may be the lowest form of humor but I feel like if it's sex related then at least it... oh wait no the porno industry does that... fml.

It's been a while since we had one of these late night defacing Match-cut sprees B. The mods are going to wake up and not know what hit them. I'm off now to toilet paper the off topic thread. Muahaahaha!!!

I do not anticipate any of the new threads having an active or sustained life. Brightside's event idea was better.
