I don't think I've ever seen something like this before. You often get big actors, directors etc doing them, but to have the studio executives... That's a lot of money and influence sat round that table.

The influence of audiences on some pretty big films and studios has been interesting. Hollywood's been using test audiences for a while, but I'm thinking specifically of "the internet" ripping the trailer for the Sonic film to pieces then the studio actually going back and "fixing" the character design and now "the Snyder cut" of Justice League actually materialising after years of online pressure.

I notice that there is a film coming out about Fassbinder who has to be one of my favourite directors. Called Enfant Terrible it should be worth a watch I reckon.

This looks interesting from the trailer though I think I semi hated all the other films they made....


(glad I resurrected this thread anyway cos I forgot about the Fassbinder thing above)

"Martin Scorsese, your frequent collaborator, has been in the news lately for saying that Marvel movies aren't cinema and upsetting a whole lot of people in the process. Do you have the same opinion?

No, they are cinema. So is that cat video on YouTube, it’s cinema. It is kind of surprising that what we used to regard as adolescent entertainment, comic books for teenagers, has become the dominant genre economically. Each generation is informed, and informed by literature, or informed by theater, or informed by live television, or informed by film school. Now we have a generation that's been informed by video games and manga. It’s not that the filmmakers have changed, it's that the audiences have changed. And when the audiences don't want serious movies, it's very, very hard to make one. When they do, when they ask you, "What should I think about women's lib, gay rights, racial situations, economic inequality?" and the audience is interested in hearing about these issues, well then you can make those movies. And we have. Particularly in the fifties, and sixties, and seventies, we're making them one or two a week about social issues. And they were financially successful because audiences wanted them. Then something changed in the culture, the center dropped out. Those movies are still being made, but they're not in the center of the conversation anymore.

What do you think changed?

Well, it happened all across the board. There’s no Walter Cronkite, there’s no Johnny Carson, and there's no Hollywood studio movies. The mass center has gone. What happens then is people retreat to the periphery. So you have the Comic-Con world, or you have the X or Y, Z world, and it's very hard to bring these people together again. That has been lost culturally. It's not going to ever come back."

This looks intriguing. Ballard, Cronenberg, Gaspar Noe and, maybe, Holy Motors come to mind,



TITANE: A metal highly resistant to heat and corrosion, with high tensile strength alloys, often used in medical prostheses due to its pronounced biocompatibility.

It stars Agathe Rousselle as a female serial killer who becomes pregnant after having sex with a car.

I read your post and thought that it did indeed look interesting so I remembered the name figuring that it was gonna be an obscure thing thay I might not hear about again - stepped outside to take some recycling to the bin and was surprised to see a poster for it stuck to a wall.

Incredible looking film. Raw from the same director a few years back is also one of the best teen horrors of this century

That was the one where a vegetarian became a cannibal right? I quite enjoyed that but I didn't love it as much as some... but certainly it was good enough that I would wanna see more... and suddenly from nowhere to crazy, everyone id taking about this film and how mad it is.

It won the Palme d'Or back in July, but there's obviously more buzz around it now it's being released in the US and elsewhere.
