Vlad Magic Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Also watched “Jack Reacher” couple of nights back. Its pish. I have read a couple of the books. Now I know books don’t necessarily translate into good films but FFS whoever cast Tom Cruise as Reacher needs firing. Reacher is 6ft 5 220-250 pounds and described as Bigfoot in one of his books? Cruise is a dwarf. The film itself is based on one of the books I haven’t read yet. One of the most enjoyable things about Lee Child’s books is they are fantasy. You don’t take them seriously. Complete over the top, mindless fiction. The film failed completely to replicate this. It simply took itself too seriously. 5 out of 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there’s another rock star anywhere who’s lived in an apartment like that. Especially in LA. I’ve not seen in it years, might be time for a rewatch.

Jibbers Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Finally saw Samsara on DVD, yes I still buy them. It's totally stunning. If you've seen Baraka you'll know what to expect as it has similar themes and imagery. If you've seen neither, see both but be warned, these aren't movies with a plot, actors and a storyline. They are more like artistic documentaries. The cinematography is amazing. Really deserves to be seen on the big screen but if you have a big tv and a soundbar that will be a decent approximation. For a flavour go to YouTube and watch Shpongle's Around the World in Tea Daze (OTT remix) which uses footage from both films. I was left awestruck at the world we live in and dismayed at the world we've created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting trivia fact. They actually used vintage 1930’s camera lenses to get the authentic old school black and white look. The lenses are so rubbish the set was incredibly bright from the amount of very powerful HMI discharge lights they had to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a bit geeky about lighting stuff as it’s my job, hopefully I get to do it again properly sometime soon. Each special HMI light they use is roughly 4 times the power of a normal tungsten filament light and they were using 8000 watt units so each single light was 32,000 watts! Makes the 100w bulb in someone’s living room look a bit rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
