Josh and Aaron Sarnecky have returned for another podcast. This month their talking Pride & Prejudice for its 20th anniversary.Pride & Prejudice is a period romance film directed by Joe Wright. Based on the beloved Jane Austen novel, it is an adaptation by Deborah Moggach. Emma Thompson provided additional dialogue uncredited. It opened in U.S. theaters on November 23, 2005.Set in late 18th century England, the film follows Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), one of five Bennet daughters who needs marrying. Elizabeth becomes acquainted with Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), whom she loathes. While Jane Bennet (Rosamund Pike) cozies up to Mr. Bingley (Simon Woods), Mr. Collins (Tom Hollander) has his eye on Elizabeth.Other characters include Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn), their other daughters Mary, Lydia, and Kitty (Talulah Riley, Jena Malone, and Carey Mulligan), Darcy's benefactor Lady Catherine de Bourgh (Judi Dench), and the duplicitous Mr. Wickham (Rupert Friend).Pride & Prejudice garnered praise from critics and made $129 million on a $28 million budget. At the Oscars, the film was nominated for Best Actress for Knightley, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score. Josh and Aaron discuss their histories with Pride & Prejudice before going into the plot, performances, and cinematography. They also talk about the film living in the shadow of the 1995 miniseries and the upcoming Netflix adaptation.You can listen to last month's Anniversary Brothers on Static Shock.Pride & Prejudice is streaming on HBO Max.

Based upon the comic strip created in 1931 by Chester Gould, this eye-popping live-action adaptation was long planned by Oscar-winning director Warren Beatty (Reds, Heaven Can Wait) who also elected to star as the titular square-jawwed crime fighter sporting a bright yellow jacket.  Finally green-lit and released by Disney in the wake of the breakout success the prior year of Tim Burton's Batman, the studio was hoping that it could duplicate the mega-blockbuster success of that comic book adaptation, backing its release with loads of marketing hype AND three different soundtrack albums including an assortment of original songs written by Tony-winning songwriting stage legend Stephen Sondheim (West Side Story, Into the Woods) and performed one of its co-stars....that would be Madonna who played Breathtless Mahoney, who is also a key femme fatale for the story.  She is joined by completely STACKED cast by Paul Sorvino, Mandy Patinkin, Glenne Headley, Charlie Korsmo, Charles Durning, James Caan, Dustin Hoffman, AND Al Pacino who plays the film's main villain Big Boy Caprice. Alas the film did solid box office but did not live up to the Batman-level hype...though it DID set a record for most Oscars won by a comic book adaptation with three for Best Makeup, Best Original Song, and Best Art Direction.  This record of three Oscars would not be matched for another 28 years until it was eventually tied by another Disney comic book release, Black Panther. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

On episode 252 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello and AwardsWatch contributors Karen Peterson and Josh Parham to go back 50 years to take a look at the 47th Academy Awards, celebrating the films of 1974. Fifty years ago, the Academy Awards gave out the Best Picture Oscar to the first sequel in their history by awarding The Godfather Part II their highest award, as well as Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction and Best Original Dramatic Score. 1974 not only featured one of the greatest sequels of all time, but multiple masterpieces like Chinatown, The Conversation, Young Frankenstein, and many more. The Best Picture lineup, as well as the nominees, showcased a pretty stacked, diverse year at the movies, with comedies, ensemble action films, costume dramas being represented alongside prestige crime dramas that spoke to the moment. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1974, briefly discuss talk about The Godfather Part II as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 3h17m. We will be back next week to do discuss the latest film release, The Substance.

So is this memoir something worth opening or was it a story "that should never be told" as the opening narration states?

Inception is a 2010 science fiction action film[4][5][6] written and directed by Christopher Nolan, who also produced the film with Emma Thomas, his wife. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets. He is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased as payment for the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious.[7] The ensemble cast includes Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page,[a] Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Dileep Rao, and Michael Caine. After the 2002 completion of Insomnia, Nolan presented to Warner Bros. a written 80-page treatment for a horror film envisioning "dream stealers," based on lucid dreaming.[8] Deciding he needed more experience before tackling a production of this magnitude and complexity, Nolan shelved the project and instead worked on 2005's Batman Begins, 2006's The Prestige, and 2008's The Dark Knight.[9] The treatment was revised over six months and was purchased by Warner in February 2009.[10] Inception was filmed in six countries, beginning in Tokyo on June 19 and ending in Canada on November 22.[11] Its official budget was $160 million, split between Warner Bros. and Legendary.[12] Nolan's reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the film's US$100 million in advertising expenditure. Inception's premiere was held in London on July 8, 2010; it was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters beginning on July 16, 2010.[13][14] Inception grossed over $837 million worldwide, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2010. Considered one of the best films of the 2010s,[15] Inception won four Oscars (Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Visual Effects) and was nominated for four more (Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score) at the 83rd Academy Awards.

We are looking at the favourite of many 90s teen goths; Interview With The Vampire, including the performances, casting choices, Brad Pitt's body odor, annoying mimes, and burning down all of your problems.   Interview With the Vampire Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCmYN6TLd8A&ab_channel=RottenTomatoesClassicTrailers I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa Interview with the Vampire is a 1994 American gothic horror film directed by Neil Jordan, based on Anne Rice's 1976 novel of the same name, and starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. It focuses on Lestat (Cruise) and Louis (Pitt), beginning with Louis's transformation into a vampire by Lestat in 1791. The film chronicles their time together, and their turning of ten-year-old Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) into a vampire. The narrative is framed by a present-day interview, in which Louis tells his story to a San Francisco reporter (Christian Slater). The supporting cast features Antonio Banderas and Stephen Rea. The film was released in November 1994 to generally positive reviews and was a commercial success. It received two Oscar nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Original Score. Kirsten Dunst was additionally nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film. A stand-alone sequel, Queen of the Damned, was released in 2002, with Stuart Townsend replacing Cruise as Lestat.

Book Vs. Movie:The Red ShoesThe Hans Christian Anderson Fairy Tale vs. the 1948 Classic FilmThe Margos (and a special guest star!) put on their dancing shoes with the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale “The Red Shoes” along with the 1948 adaptation that is considered a ballet/film classic with some of the most beautiful sequences along with a meditation on “art versus life.” Published in 1845, The Red Shoes appears in “New Fairy Tales” and tells the story of Karen, a vain and selfish girl who has a particular pair of red shoes that causes her to dance with frenzy. Apparently, the author used his own sister's name for the horrible lead and his father being a proud shoe cobbler who demanded to be treated with respect from even his wealthiest clients. The movie is a technicolor masterpiece filled with renowned dancers and is the coloration between Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (following the successful 1947 film Black Narcissus.) It's considered one of the best British films ever and won the Academy Award for Best Original Score and Best Art Direction. What are the main differences between the short story and the film? Which version did the Margos like better? Have a listen!Our special guest is Dale Bridges, author of The Mean Reds, available from Stephen J. Austin University Press. You can follow his artwork at https://www.dalebridgesart.com/ and on Instagram @Bridges.writer In this ep, the Margos discuss:The original fairy taleThe history of the movieThe cast of the 1948 film: Anton Walbrook (Boris Lermontov,) Marius Goring (Julian Craster,) Moira Shearer (Victoria Page,) Robert Helpmann (Ivan Boleslawsky,) Leonide Massine (Grischa Ljubov,) Albert Bassermann (Sergei Ratov,) Ludmilla Tchernia (Irinia Boronskaya,) and Esmond Knight as Livingstone “Livy” Montague.Clips used:Victoria Page meets Boris LermontovThe Red Shoes 1948 trailerThe crowd enters the theatreLermontov picks his dancersGrischa Ljubov meets Victoria PageThe last dance sceneMusic by Brian EasdaleBook Vs.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here for the April installment of their monthly movie retrospectives. This time they're talking about 2001: A Space Odyssey for its 55th anniversary. 2001: A Space Odyssey is an epic science fiction film directed by Stanley Kubrick, who co-wrote the film with Arthur C. Clarke. It opened in theaters on April 3, 1968. In the film the principal characters, astronaut Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and artificial intelligence HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain), travel to Jupiter in search of extraterrestrial life. Though initial reactions to the film were mixed, it received Oscar nominations for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Art Direction, and won for Best Visual Effects. Popular but expensive, the movie only become profitable upon rerelease. In 2022 a poll of 480 directors voted it the Greatest Film of All Time in Sight & Sound magazine.   Aaron and Josh discuss the plot of the film, its effects, and its slow pace. They also briefly chat about Arthur C. Clarke's book series and the film 2010: The Year We Make Contact. Capping things off is a look at space travel and A.I. today. For more ‘60s cinema, you can listen to Josh and Aaron's podcast on The Birds. For another Kubrick film, listen to their podcast on The Shining.2001: A Space Odyssey is streaming on HBO Max.

The Worthy boys exchange keys as we're heading to Jack Lemmon's apartment for a wild night! The Apartment won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writing, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing. The film received five additional nominations, including Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon for Best Leading Actress and Actor.  Billy Wilder even became the first person to win the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. We discuss the gender politics brought up in the film and how they pushed the boundaries of cinema and workplace etiquette. We also chat about how this was the last Black and White film to win Best Picture at The Academy Awards until The Artist in 2011.

AvatarWelcome to The Guys Review, where we review media, products and experiences. **READ APPLE REVIEWS/Fan Mail**Mention Twitter DM group - like pinned tweetRead emailsTwitter Poll Avatar Written, Directed, and Produced by: James Cameron Starring:  Sam WorthingtonZoe SaldanaStephen LangMichelle RodriguezSigourney Weaver Released: Dec 18, 2009 Budget: $237M ($208M in 2021) Box Office: $2.847B ($3.7B in 2021) Ratings:   IMDb 7.8/10 Rotten Tomatoes 74%Metacritic 50% Google Users 91% Adjusted for inflation, Avatar is the second highest-grossing movie of all time after Gone with the Wind with a total of more than $3 billion. It also became the first film to gross more than $2 billion. Nominated for nine Academy Awards and won three, for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects.  First time you saw the movie? Plot:We start flying through a jungle, with a voice over about flying in dream, and waking up. We see Sam Worthingtons Jake. He's waking up from 6 years in Cryo. We learn his twin brother was killed before shipping out, but that he's a dumb grunt. Jake arrives at Pandora. A fresh start on a new world, as he watches his brother get cremated. The ship approaches to land, we see how the jungle planet is being strip mined. We learn Jake is an ex-Marine, in a wheelchair, he says that spines can be fixed, but you'd need money. "You're not in Kansas anymore" we hear from Col. Quaritch; he talks about the Na'vi and their arrows dipped in neuro-toxin that will stop your hear in 1 minute. Jake enjoys the safety brief. Afterwards we meet Norm, and we're introduced to the Avatars, grown bodies mixed with human DNA and native... Unlike Tucker getting his uncles DNA mixed in him. Drivers coming out and we see Grace Augustine, the woman who wrote the book on Na'vi... She and Jake have a tense first meeting. She storms off to speak with the corporate guy, Selfridge. They argue about how to handle the indigenous tribes, and Selfridge explains they're there for unobtainium, the mineral that sells for $20m a kilo and pays for everything. Jake loads up in the driver seat, and Grace chides him about not having any training. They connect his brain to the avitar, and he comes too. Jake wants to run before he can walk, and takes off outside. He takes off running, obviously enjoying the feeling of having legs again. He speaks with Grace, and they soon go to bed, and Jake wakes back up, in his paralyzed body. We meet Trudy, the pilot, who takes him to the Col... he explains who they are alike, and how he likes his facial scars. But that having a marine in an avitar can provide intel on the Na'vi, promising to get Jakes legs back to him when he rotates home. S:-They get on Pandora really fast, and show heavy destruction-Wonder if Selfridge is named after the magnate that created Selfridges in London?-The obvious allegory to how people treat indigenous tribes is shown VERY early on.-They kinda hit you over your head with the not so subtle good vs bad, dynamic.-Think they get to choose how big their avatar dicks are? The team is dropped in the jungle and they move, seeing the large environment and some native species. As Norm and Grace take a sample, Jake wanders off, and spooks a very large animal. Grace tells him to hold his ground, and as he threatens it away, he's snuck up on another large creature, that he does have to run from. Much like Chris's girlfriends that end up left at gas stations or Trey when he finds a missing digit. He eventually ends up jumping off a cliff into a river to escape. On his own, Jake whittles a pointy stick for defense, as a Na'ni watches him, she trains an arrow on him and as she's about to shoot, a fluttering critter lands on the arrow, and she stops, letting him go. The others search for him, but have to call it off as they don't run night ops. As Jake lights a torch, many animals are after him. He is surrounded, and tries to keep them away with the torch; so he taunts them, and they attack. He beats and stabs a few, when the Na'vi that had watched him jumps in to help, defeating the beasts, but showing mercy to an injured one. Jake then marvels at the glow of the forest/jungle. He tries to thank her, and she informs him its sad they had to die. As they argue running through the forest, the floating creatures come back and land all over Jake, and she takes him with her. Shortly he is attacked by more Na'vi, who take him to their home. They talk about whether or not to kill him, and they judge him, Neytiri's father and mother. They determine since he is a "warrior," to teach him their ways and see what happens. After an awkward dinner, he settles into a cocoon, and he awakes back in the base. The scientists marvel at his luck, the army and corporate guys want to exploit his new position. Back in the village, he gets on a large animal, and bonds with it, and promptly falls off. He gives more intel on the home tree structure, but he is observed, and they relocated to the floating mountains of Pandora. They get set up and Jake goes back. High in the tree, Neytiri calls a large flying creature to her, and explains how to choose one, and that it chooses you. She takes off and shows how to fly. A montage of him learning, voice over, what he's learning. Grace even putting Jake to bed. The attraction between Neytiri and Jake shows; esp when he makes a clean kill. They go to the floating mountains to ride a flying creature or banshee. He begins his trial. S:-I noticed Norms avatar has a hat with braile, i looked it up and it stands for "Year 1969" or the year of the moon landing.-I don't remeber the half naked natives from National Geographic looking that good-I wonder what the actual physics is behind the floating rocks?-Also, Grace smoking... no way that's still a thing that far into the future. I can see vaping still going, but not actual smoking.-If anyone has played the new Jedi falling order game, this whole sequence is also in that game. AFter passing behind the waterfall, there are many banshees, and he is told to pick his ikran, asking how he'll know if it chooses him, Neytiri tells him it'll try and kill him... He picks one, they fight, and eventually, bond. They take off and finally, level out smoothly. They finally get harnessed and have some proper flights, even going by the Tree of Souls. Eventually the alpha ikran attacks, chasing them, bu they escape. Jake learns only 5 people have ever ridden the alpha. In a voice over he talk about out there being the real world. The Col tells Jake he's got the Na'vi by the balls with the tree of souls, and that he can go back adn get his legs. He wants to stay for the ceremony and negotiate the relocation. He is accepted as one of the Na'vi in the ceremony. Neytiri takes Jake to the tree of voices and he can hear them. She tells him he can pick a woman, and he chooses her. He wakes up thinking, "what the hell are you doing Jake"? The next morning, the trees start to fall around them, but Jake isn't in his body. He's finally jacked in and stops one of them, but they level everything. The Col sees it's Jake and wants a pilot, as the Na'vi pull together a warrior party. As Jake fights to stop the party, Col arrives where Jakes body is, as he's trying to talk them down, the Col pulls Jake and Grace out. He takes them back to the base and they argue about what they are about to destroy. Grace explains about the connective tissue amongst the trees, but Selfridge doesn't listen. Col shows Grace one of Jakes transmissions about the Na'vi, saying there is nothing they have the Na'vi want. The Col convinces Selfridge to assault the tree. Jake and Grace also convince Selfridge to let them go in and try to convince the Na'vim to leave. Jake tells them he was sent to learn and tell them what was coming, and it instead hardens their resolve, like Trey assaulting a child, hard like steel. The Col arrives and starts with gas rounds. As the others evacuate, they fire arrows, and the Col returns with incendiaries. The Na'vi flee, leaving Jake and Grace tied up. Neytiris mom frees them, as the helos fire missiles, Trudy decides to pull out, unlike myself. The volley stops, as the base of the tree begins to collapse. The Na'vi run, trying to escape, and the tree comes down. They observe the damage, and wail. The Col pulls out, mission accomplished... as Neytiri finds her father fallen, dying. She takes his bow, to protect their people, and she mourns. Selfridge pulls the plug on Jake and Grace and take them. n le S:-As Trey says, everyone wants to fuck an alien, Jake did. The Na'vi walk away, nursing the injured. Norm, Jake and Grace are in the brig, when Trudy rescues them. As she starts the bird, the Col realizes and opens fire on them, and Grace is hit. They pick up the mobile unit to hide it at the tree of souls. The Na'vi have gathered and Jake is going to try to get to them. His avatar wakes up in the aftermath of the destruction; though he was worried about facing them. Jake takes flight on his ikran, and then jumps on the alpha ikran to bond with it. He arrives at the soul tree to everyones surprise. Neytiri apologizes and he addresses the lead warrior, Tsu'tey, and they agree to fly together and help Grace. They bring Grace and her avatar to the tree of souls, but it is up to the great mother to transfer her to her avatar. The Na'vi pray to save her, Grace wakes up and tells them she's with her, and she is real, and dies. Jake makes a speech to rally all the other clans together and take on the corporation, and they scatter and gather them all up. Back at the base, the Col briefs everyone about an attack. He plans on destroying the soul tree with a preemptive attack. Jake works on a plan with Norm and Trudy to stop the attack. The second attack begins. Airships move in, as do ground troops, for some reason. The horse riders, with Norm, ride straight in, as do Jake and the arial assault. The battle rages, as men and Na'vi fall to bullets, arrows, and missiles. Col ID's jake and goes after him, when Trudy shows up and distracts them. Neytiri, trying to escape, her ikran is killed. Tsu'tey boards a ship, and is shot, and falls, Trudy is killed, there is destruction everywhere. They are reeling. As they start their bomb run, Neytiri is surrounded. As she is about to take a shot, a stampede of large creatures storm through, and kill the troops, at the same time, many ikran attack with no riders. Jake boards the bomb ship, as they are dropping the bomb, he disables an engine, sending it crashing, and the bomb blows up on impact. As Jake attempts to bomb the Col ship, he's stopped, but manages to throw a missile into an engine, sending it crashing, but the Col suits up in a mech and escapes. He stalks through the forest and finds the mobile site with Jakes body, Neytiri attacks, but is stopped. Jake arrives and they fight, eventually making the Col open the mech pod. He breaks the glass to the mobile unit, causing Jake to start to wake up, which allows the Col to catch him. As he's about to stab jake, Neytiri shoots him with two arrows, and he falls. Human jake falls out of his pod and can't reach the oxygen mask, almost dying, Neytiri saves him. The troops and corporates were watched as they left, and the alpha ikran is let go, and Jake makes one last video diary. The Na'vi are shown praying again, trying to transfer jake to his avatar, a deep close up and his eyes open, cut to black and credits.  S:-During the rescue, it's surprising there are no guards walking around, and only one person guarding them. re-The tree of souls surrounding looks like Halo rings from the new game-All the Na'vi got tinny titties-Why are they sending ground troops for this, what should be an air assault?-I like that Trudy is Rogue 1     Top Five Trivia of the movie: 5: Cameron started writing Avatar all the way back in 1994, but waited for the technology to catch up.4: the initial image for the Na'vi came from his mother's dream, where she envisioned a twelve-foot-tall blue woman, which was "kind of a cool image"3: Linguist Paul Frommer Created A Thousand Words In Na'vi from scratch2: James Cameron seeing lord of the rings, and gollum specifically led him to know the technology had come far enough to make Avatar1: there was so much CGI, obviously, but even Dr. Graces cigarette was animated. Cameron even admitted that they're basically animated movies with cgi used throughout.  TOP 5Stephen:1 Breakfast club2 T23 Sandlot4 Back to the Future5 Mail order brides Chris:1. sandlots2.

It's almost time for The Game Awards (December 9, 6pm CST) and we (Joey, Tab, Ron, and Paul) thought it might be fun to make some predictions! We're not fancy, shmancy video game journalists, so we don't have extensive experience with most of the games nominated. But we DO have opinions based on sometimes nothing more than a small picture uploaded to The Game Awards' web site or the existence of a particular musical instrument in a game! Join us as we discuss every category, making predictions and talking occasionally about who we actually want to win these things. We're a little critical of The Game Awards, but we do hope that game developers are actually honored by the awards they are nominated for and that these awards get better in terms of highlighting and awarding important games and voices. Check back with us after the awards to find out how we did, and if you want to send us your own predictions, you know where to reach us! We also continue to collectively shake our heads at Bobby Kotick's BS, talk about what Harmonix might bring to Fortnite now that they've joined Epic, and what we've been playing!
