In Reply to: If you notice the "beautiful cinematography", then the movie probably sucks. Sorry, guys. posted by clarkjohnsen on November 27, 2003 at 20:15:55:
***Cinematography is a fallback position, taken when plot, dialog, character development and mise-en-scene all fail.Sounds like you are talking about Dali!
Yes, I am looking for a few *watcheable* movies with great cinematography, something better than the HDTV demonstration I can get... he-he...
If only I could find the Passison in the Desert on a DVD!
Hint - yesterday a friend did show up hours before the dinner, and he did sit through the six hours of Lord of the Ring... I still can't figure out why, but anywho, I tried to sit along a few times... and every time the boredom and uneasiness set in quickly, as I watched more of that gray screen, and I left without looking back everytime. Crap. That is not what I am after.
Lawrence I already watched a few times on the large screen, and it was just slightly above boring. Actually once was in HD. I suspect the cinematography was good when it first came out, but it aged poorly in my opinion.
But all dinner guests were completely taken with the images last night, they had to be escorted to the table by force. You couldn't drive a wedge between them and Macaulay Culkinon on 100" 16"9 HD screen... the power of trash! Poor souls - most of them have not seen the HDTV glory before. I felt like Jesus.
I have quite a few great films, but I can count ones that have great image on one hand's fingers. For instance, My Fair Lady, that I value exceedingly highly, has only a mediocre quality... shame, as it is a treat when shown right.
I suspect Greenaway might be a good thing - if it is slightly move lively than the Prospero's Book - that one was too thick even for my blood... heck, even my wife asked to ternimate the torture! If only I could just watch like a ten minute segment every now and then... and.... in HD! It would be like visiting Mona Lisa on Tuesday morning, when there's no crowd.
