Bryan and Dave are joined by their friends Jonny and Aileen from the Uy Que Horror podcast to cap off their month-long October spooky season rundown with a look at the utterly baffling horror movie misstep, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. It's what happens when a nobody really wants to make a movie but they have to anyway. John Carpenter and Debra Hill agreed to get involved but only if it didn't involve Michael Myers. Joe Dante quit the director spot to go work on another movie leaving it in the hands of Tommy Lee Wallace. Nigel Kneale, the original writer quit when Dino De Laurentis demanded more gory violence in the movie. The whole thing is a mess, really, with Tom Atkins playing a functional alcoholic and Stacy Nelkin playing a young woman in her prime suffering from severe daddy issues.

Craig Campobasso is an award-winning filmmaker and casting director who has had multiple experiences with extraterrestrials who have encouraged him to write books and make films preparing humanity for full disclosure. He has worked with famous Hollywood producers such as Dino De Laurentis and David Lynch, and actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Campobasso met with legendary extraterrestrial contact Frank Stranges, who in the 1960s revealed the stunning story of Valiant Thor, a Venusian extraterrestrial, being hosted at the Pentagon for three years. Campobasso subsequently produced a short film about the story called Stranger at the Pentagon. Campobasso has written the first four books in what will be a seven-volume series called Autobiography of an Extraterrestrial Saga that details how aliens incarnate on Earth in a Cosmic saga of good against evil. He has also written a book, The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac (2021), which gives detailed descriptions and illustrations of 82 alien species visiting our planet, which is also the subject of a documentary he plans to release in the middle of 2024. In addition, Campobasso discusses his most recent book, UFO Hotspot Compendium, where he discusses the most famous spots on Earth for UFO-related phenomena. Finally, he shares his thoughts on the End Times and what that means for extraterrestrial disclosure.

Bob Crewe1930- 2014Inducted Into The Songwriters Hall Of Fame In 1995.While songwriter/producer/recording star, Bob Crewe, is perhaps best remembered for the notable parade of hits penned with co-writer Bob Gaudio for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, his songwriting credits began considerably earlier.In the early '50s, New Jersey-born Crewe first tasted success on the music charts with writing teammate Frank Slay with a batch of hits for a variety of artists. Among the best known were "Silhouettes" and "Daddy Cool" for The Rays; "Lah Dee Dah" and "Lucky Ladybug" for Billy and Lillie; and Freddy Cannon's "Tallahassee Lassie" and "Okefenokee."In 1961, Crewe also blossomed as a recording artist himself, with a pair of solo albums on Warwick Records. Kicks, featuring "The Whiffenpoof Song," and Crazy in the Heart, both produced by one of the more colorful producers of that time.Following these successes as a solo recording act, Crewe joined forces with songwriter Bob Gaudio, and good fortune struck almost immediately for the pair with the smash hit, "Sherry," for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Thus began a years-long association with an uninterrupted string of chart successes including "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Ronnie," "Walk Like a Man," "Bye Bye Baby" and "Connie 0," as well as the monumental Frankie Valli hit, "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You."Other Crewe and Gaudio successes include "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine," for The Walker Brothers and "Silence Is Golden" by The Tremeloes. Following this phase, Crewe moved out again on his own to form The Bob Crewe Generation ("Music to Watch Girls By"), utilizing studio musicians and original material for instrumental music collections. Bob Crewe later teamed with writer, Charles Fox, in penning the soundtrack for Dino De Laurentis' film, "Barbarella."During the mid-sixties, Bob Crewe turned discoverer, locating a band known as Billy Lee and The Rivieras, which he later re-named, Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels, a major success on the charts with such Crewe-arranged smashes as "Jenny Take a Ride," "Devil With the Blue Dress On" and "Sock It to Me Baby."As the '60s were coming to a close, Crewe had also established his own recording firm, Crewe Records, which owned hits by Oliver and Lesley Gore, among others. Later, Crewe wrote and produced the song, "Eternity," which became an international hit for Vicki Carr. Following a short stay with Motown Records, when he produced what turned out to be Bobby Darin's final album, Crewe rejoined forces with Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli, and bought back from Motown the tape master for Valli's "My Eyes Adored You," a song co-written with Kenny Nolan, which became a huge new hit for Valli on Private Stock Records. The song "Lady Marmalade," another joint effort for Crewe and Nolan, went on to reach hit status and also helped re-establish Patti LaBelle as an artist of major stature.Still later, Crewe and Gaudio teamed with another writer, Jerry Corbetta, in penning the hit song "You're Looking Like Love to Me," for Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson. Crewe also collaborated with Corbetta and the writer, Ellie Greenwich, in producing the original cast album for Greenwich's Broadway musical, "Leader of the Pack."In addition to his music, Crewe also owned impressive credentials in the art world. He has designed numerous album covers and has been featured in several one-man gallery showings, including The Earl McGrath Gallery and Thomas Solomon's Garage in Los Angeles.

Guests: SAM J. JONES is best known as FLASH GORDON (1980) in the Dino De Laurentis cult classic film of the same name, beating out Kurt Russell and Arnold Schwarzenegger for the role. He has over 65 films and hundreds of TV shows to his credits.

Although she is fully in control in the boardroom, she is a complete wreck at the thought of becoming a mom. She is afraid she will get it all wrong, or worse, get it right and then suffer the same illness that took her mom away from her so early in life. Through an answer to prayer and the help of a New York Cabbie/angel (Robert Amaya), Janie gets a chance to see what her life could be in the future. Janie realizes that the baby years go by fast, and childhood is too precious a time to waste. Janie is miraculously offered the chance of a "do-over" and relishes every moment of being a wife and new mom. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzKCphl2-z4 Guest: Bruce Campbell of THE EVIL DEAD, ARMY OF DARKNESS & the new film BLACK FRIDAY https://www.bruce-campbell.com/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0132257/ Bruce Campbell has been an actor in Hollywood for 40 years, starring in movies and TV. He started with the low budget Cult Classic horror series Evil Dead, directed by Sam Raimi. He then starred in many more movies including, Crimewave, Maniac Cop, Congo and more, plus cameos in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. His TV credits include, X-Files, Brisco County Jr, Hercules, Evil Dead, Burn Notice, and more. His most recent movies (both premiering in the 2021 Holidays) are Black Friday, and Hallmark Mystery Movie - One December Night, co-starring Peter Gallagher. ABOUT BLACK FRIDAY, IN THEATERS & ON DEMAND NOVEMBER 19th (2021) On Thanksgiving night, a group of disgruntled toy store employees begrudgingly arrive for work to open the store at midnight for the busiest shopping day of the year. Meanwhile, an alien parasite crashes to Earth in a meteor. This group of misfits led by store manager Jonathan (Bruce Campbell) and longtime employee Ken (Devon Sawa) soon find themselves battling against hordes of holiday shoppers who have been turned into monstrous creatures hellbent on a murderous rampage on Black Friday. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3H5Ye2BvUk Notes: Power of the Story - Lessons from Pixar Marketing has shifted from running ad campaigns to social media. This requires connection with followers who may become your customers. But, how do you connect? The connection is made thru your content, and how your followers engage and enjoy it. Or reject and ignore it. Human Beings have engaged with stories for a millennium or longer. Good content = good story telling. Understanding that people want to connect with people and a good narrative. Now you need to learn how to tell a story. There's a company you can study that does a pretty good job at it, goes by the name Pixar. There are elements to every good story, and sometimes even a guide to how it's done. Here are Pixar's rules... Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling These rules were originally tweeted by Emma Coates, Pixar's Story Artist. Number nine on the list — when you're stuck, make a list of what wouldn't happen next — is a great one and can apply to writers in all genres. 1. You admire a character for trying more than for their successes. 2. You gotta keep in mind what's interesting to you as an audience, not what's fun to do as a writer. They can be very different. 3. Trying for theme is important, but you won't see what the story is actually about 'til you're at the end of it. Now rewrite. 4. Once up on a time there was _____. Every day, _____. One day _____. Because of that, _____. Because of that, _____. Until finally, _____. 5. Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You'll feel like you're losing valuable stuff but it sets you free. 6. What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal? FULL LIST: HERE Apparently there's a Rule 23: Rule #23: There are no Rules except Rule #23. This is all really important to keep in mind as you create your stories; rules are often accumulated wisdom from generations of people learning what works and what doesn't. But in a creative field, sticking only to the rules is staid and boring. Find out how they came up with Rule 23: HERE Rule of Three (3) is Everywhere What do a Play, Chess Game, Magic Trick & The Slogan in the Declaration of Independence all have in Common? Play – 3 Acts, Setup, the Confrontation, & the Resolution Chess Game – 3 Phases, Opening, Middlegame, Endgame Magic Trick – 3 Parts, Pledge, Turn, Prestige Declaration of Independence – 3 Word Slogan, Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness Do you see a pattern? ‘Omne trium perfectum' - from Latin, means ‘Everything that comes in Threes (3) is Perfect' Rule of Three (3) People look for patterns, and three things is the smallest amount to have for a pattern. The Rule of Three has a natural feel to it, since it is so engrained in so many things we commonly see. People can typically remember 3 or 4 things, so a shorter list does not confuse. Complex Ideas, Stories, or Events broken down into 3s is more Memorable & Effective. I believe there is also something subconscious we like with simple math. Math and geometry underpin many things (design, architecture, city planning, etc), so we see it, but do not see it. How widespread is the Rule of Three?

Join us as we "Fall Back to the 80s" (yeah, we know we're starting in the summer...what of it??), a special three-month event dedicated to some of the most infamous failed franchise starters of the 80s. First up, Dino De Laurentis' cult-classic adaptation of a beloved sci-fi character, Flash Gordon. Not only was this movie clearly made to cash in on the Star Wars-mania of the time, but it even has another fascinating connection to George Lucas. But, needless to say, the movie did not fare as well as Star Wars...could the gamble of hiring an untested newcomer in the titular role have something to do with it? Does it effectively tow the line between "camp" and genuine drama? And just how damn catchy is that Queen theme song, anyway? All this discussed, and more! Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd
In this episode, Christopher picks up where he left off in Part 1. He tried college up north for a couple years, but that ended when he lost his scholarship. His dad knew a guy at the San Francisco Art Institute and encouraged Christopher to come see the school. The idea was that he would finish his education learning how to make movies. On that visit, Christopher met George Kuchar, who would later become Christopher's mentor. He went on to get a BFA from SFAI. We chat about the various neighborhoods he lived in back in those days and the stories that came with them. Then Christopher tells us all about some of the fights he was in here in The City when he was a kid, one on a moving 22-Fillmore. Christopher ended up graduating from SFAI, and the only person he had at the ceremony was his brother Nicolas (Cage). Afterward, the two went out on the town to celebrate. We back up a bit to hear the story of how Christopher's parents ended up in Southern California. His mom's family came from Illinois. And his dad's ancestors came from southern Italy to the U.S. August came to UCLA, where he met Christopher's mom. Her family had an in-law house, and soon, August's brother Francis lived in it. After graduating, Christopher made some films that he describes as "maybe pretentious," but Nicolas's agent liked them. They wanted him to come back to SoCal, but he wasn't interested. He got involved with producer Dino De Laurentis, and shares some of those stories with us. Christopher was able to navigate pressures from outside and get some of his more arty cinematic techniques into his early movies. Next Christopher contrasts his lives in San Francisco and Los Angeles/Long Beach. Today, he lives mostly in the Bay Area and teaches at SFAI, which he talks about. Then he shares the story of how he and his sons made Sammy & Quinn, his most recent short. We end this episode with Christopher's thoughts on what it means to still be in San Francisco.

The Ghost of Dune: Jodorowsky's Unmade Masterpiece On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I continue our look at Frank Herbert's Classic Sci-Fi Novel, Dune. There's no shortage of angles to come at this movie from. Last week we looked at Denis Villeneuve's new film playing in theaters and HBOMax right now. This week Mr. Chavez & I touch on David Lynch's failed early-80's effort with producer Dino De Laurentis. A disastrous production and final product that Lynch has disowned and has great difficulty discussing, for the longest time Dune seemed unfilmable. But the meat of today's episode lays with Frank Pavich's 2013 documentary, Jodorowsky's Dune - a documentary on the making of the most famous un-filmed project in Cinema History. Featuring interviews with directors Richard Stanley and Nicholas Winding Refn, special effects, production and artistic designers, and producers including: H.R. Giger, Michel Seydoux, Chris Foss, and Jean Giraud. This is a fascinating documentary on one of the greatest disappointments in Cinema. A Must-See for all fans of Cinema. Take a listen and enjoy. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.
Frank Herbert's classic Science Fiction novel Dune was released in 1965, whilst it was not an immediate success it has endured to become perhaps the most important work in its genre. The story of a galactic power struggle over a single planets natural resource has all the elements needed to not only propel an entire series of books but to cross mediums and inspire filmmakers eager to put their own stamp on its epic narrative. Jump forward to 1974 and Alejandro Jordorowsky threw his hat into the ring and started to assemble an all star team to bring Herbert's masterwork to celluloid. Unfortunately the money needed to make this dream a reality proved too much for Hollywood who got cold feet, not trusting Jordorowsky to handle a project of this size. The cat was out of the bag though. Hollywood had caught the scent, aware of potentially having a ‘Star Wars' all of his own Dino De Laurentis secured the rights and hired David Lynch to bring Dune to the big screen. So did Lynch's adaptation prove to be a successful investment? The short answer is no. Almost universally panned by critics the movie bombed failing to recoup the cost of its production. David Lynch has subsequently distanced himself entirely from the film, going as far to replace his name on the titles with dreaded Alan Smithee pseudonym. This as we know is never the full story and dollar bills are only a metric businessmen use to measure art's merit. The movie whilst flawed, messy and at times cringeworthy is still bursting at the seems with invention, wonder and spectacle. Which brings us to October 2021. French Canadian director Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of science fictions lord of the rings has hit the big screen. In what seems like a now compulsory statement the movie has been shuffled back and forth for over a year due to the ongoing pandemic. Joining ‘No Time To Die' and what honestly feels like every other movie we'll ever talk about ever again, in the relentless change the date game. It's no secret Eric and I have been champing at the bit for what feels like forever to sit down In a faux leather, sticky, almost comfy recliner and circulate our germs with strangers to witness one of our favorite film makers right decades of wrongs and finally put the beast that is Dune to rest. Was it it worth the wait?

The Secret Movie Club team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) pick up their sometime series on moviemaking. Today, they discuss the mysterious yet absolutely crucial role of the Producer. Somebody has to make sure the movie gets made. From developing the script through to overseeing all the movie's afterlives to streaming, TV, blu-ray, product tie-ins, the Producer has to deal with every heart attack and put out every fire. Famous producers like David Selznick, Daryl Zanuck, Debra Hill, Dino De Laurentis get name checked, and stories get told and debated.
We went big for 1976 in the remake of King Kong. This film is mediocre at best and the performances as well. Charles Grodin is excellent as the corporate sleeze though.
FLASH! Aaahaaa! After the mega-success of Star Wars, producer Dino De Laurentis hoped to cash in on space opera fever with a big screen adaptation of the comic strip/serial that inspired George Lucas to create a galaxy far far away. But despite wild, colorful sets, sexy stars and a killer rock score by Queen, director Mike Hodges' campy film failed to reach cosmic heights, either with critics or the box office. Join Sebastian, Jennifer and Troy the Merciless as they blast off to save the universe with Flash Gordon. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In this episode we celebrate the King Kong films. We will talk about the original starring the beautiful Fay Wray in 1933. We also talk about the Dino De Laurentis 1976 version. Then there are the more recent one from 2005 directed by Peter Jackson. Thanks for listening!
1986 was a big year for genre movies, and arguably the biggest — solely in terms of its central character — was the sequel to Dino De Laurentis’ remake of King Kong. Despite the presence of Terminator star Linda Hamilton this ape extravaganza went almost completely ignored at the box office and put the Kong franchise on ice for nearly 20 years. Join Sebastian, Jen and Troy as they attempt to kickstart the heart of the colossally absurd camp disaster that is King Kong Lives.

There is nothing quite as tedious as a pointless sequel. And that is definitely true of this weeks episode as we take a look at the mostly forgotten sequel King Kong Lives from 1986. Ten years after the Dino De Laurentis 1976 remake, his stubbornness to make a sequel finally happened. Was it worth it? Join us and Jesse Candelori to find out
It's barely a franchise. The original came from the studio with Dino De Laurentis's name on it. It's been 28 years since its previous entry. So why the hell are we doing the movies of Bill and Ted, two movie doofuses who until this year, had made two movies that made decent money, but nothing worth writing home about. But despite all odds, this year has brought us a brand new entry entitled Bill & Ted Face The Music. Do I have to reiterate how crazy a year 2020 has been? Now we've done franchises that waited awhile between sequels in the past. But a span of twenty-nine years, the amount of time between Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and this year's Bill & Ted Face The Music, is far and away the Aftertaste record for the number of years between films. So what made Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves finally come back to the roles that launched their careers? And is the film's story, once again concocted by original writers Ed Soloman and Chris Matheson, worthy of the long wait? Join Alyx, Jack, and myself as we answer these questions and more. And be sure to stay until the end, as Jack makes a bizarre proposition for a condition connected to a possible future retrospective.

So why the hell are we doing the movies of Bill and Ted, two movie doofuses who until this year, had made two movies that made decent money, but nothing worth writing home about. But despite all odds, this year has brought us a brand new entry entitled Bill & Ted Face The Music. Do I have to reiterate how crazy a year 2020 has been? To say that Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey was a different creature than its previous entry would be an understatement. Rejected by fans of the first film, it has since grown to become a bit of a cult favorite. But a commentary done on this site proved that the film has not gotten better with age amongst some fans of the series. However, this was my first viewing of the film, so my perspective is something I have not had in the entire six year history of this podcast. How would I respond, and would Jack and Alyx like it at all? Listen below to find out! Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10) CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW!

But before we get there, we have to review the first two. Join myself, Jack, and Alyx as we begin with the 1989 original, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. What are our memories of it, and is this one of those times when a movie that was a sentimental childhood favorite becomes a modern day laughable farce? Listen below to find out!

& Six Degrees Of MMO ***This Episode Should Be Listened To No Matter Your Likes or Dislikes of Spoilers*** We do Six Degrees Of MMO followed by a beefy production profile & then a full plot breakdown. So sans warning music, this episode has a spoiler section. Six Degrees Of MMO Challenge 3 Recap/Winner - 1:05 Our Answers - 4:55 Round 4 Challenge - 8:55 MMO Does Halloween Introduction - 12:00 Halloween III: Season of the Witch Review Non-Spoilers Cast & Crew & Surprise Cameos - 15:08 Movie Specs (who is Dino De Laurentis?) - 19:32 Production Notes (why is Dino De Laurentis?) - 23:40 Spoilers Plot / Premise - 27:11 Worst Scenes - 30:12 Best Scene Disguising As A Worst Scene - 43:48 Actual Best Scenes - 45:37 Where H3 Fits in the Halloween CU - 53:01 Serious Cinematic Subtext That Actually Exists in This Movie - 55:50 Outro / Longview of our Halloween Rewatch Series - 58:13 Great job with the Six Degrees Of MMO round 3 submissions. We had a difficult time choosing a winner because of all the fun you had with them and of course, all the fun we had reading them. This episode begins as we pick the winner of the round followed by our own Six Degree answers, and then we choose a “Halloween” inspired round 4 challenge. The bulk of this episode kick starts our re-watch of the Halloween franchise, a series of films sacred to Mike 1 and irresistibly critique-able AND appreciate-able for Also Mike. We’ve had some fun recordings over the last year plus. Though let it be known!!...this goes down as one of our instant favorites. Although we don’t have a spoiler warning dance music interlude in this episode, you can easily parse between spoilers and non-spoilers if you’re allergic to the former. Though we do encourage you overcome your allergy and just keep listening because this is one of our better discussions. Our format for these Halloween franchise movie reviews opens with a production profile of cast & crew, specs, & behind-the-scenes information. We enjoy comparisons to The Conjuring Universe pods (episodes 96, 98 & 99), mention the high school days of John Carpenter, and differentiate between the narrative through lines of the series at large as only an authority like Mike 1 could give. The plot is simple on the surface, but as we break it down via a marvelous litany of worst then best scenes (most of which could be described as best worst), there’s a ton of ambition and complexity on display from the powers that be. Legendary producer Dino De Laurentis, legendary stewards of the franchise like John Carpenter & Debra Hill, and of course, the filmmakers both credited and uncredited all have an impact on the story, and we relish every minute of this discussion. If this episode is any indication, we shall thoroughly enjoy this rewatch series on the Michael Myers slasher films to come. So stay tuned as we’ll work our butts off to get you reviews of all these movies building up to the movie event that is 2018’s Halloween coming out on October 19th. We’ll also be interweaving Oscar coverage. Go back to our previous episode (105) for a preview of all the terrific films coming out in this loaded month of October, and do listen to our massive back catalog of episodes for our full coverage of the Oscar Sprint. We feature OSPs (16 & counting thus far in this year after total coverage of last year’s awards season), retrospectives on seasons past, and plenty of wonderful divergences into the realms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mission Impossible films, and of course, The Conjuring Universe.

节目名称:Screen Age 荧屏时代节目主题:David Fincher& David LynchL: Hey Guys! It's time for the Screen Age. I'm your old friend, Lynn!B: Well, Lynn. Why are you so exited today.L: Because the film Murder on the Orient Express is going to be on the Chinese mainland. You know, I'm a stan of thriller. I've been waiting for it since the last year.B: Take it easy. I think that you would be interested in the director, David Fincher. He is the master of thriller. It's just your cup of tea.L: Yeah, I know him. Some of his films are really classical. However, I mistake him with another famous director, David Lynch sometimes.B: They are similar in some way indeed. And today, Let's just introduce David Fincher and David Lynch to our audiences.L: That's cool!L: David Fincher was born in Colorado Denver of America, whereas, he grew up in California. When he was 18, he worked for Korty--a film company. Later, he changed his job several times. Till three other directors built up Propaganda with him in 1987, he turned his way to directing films.C: Oh, I get a little about what you said. Before his company had been built up, he has directed many advertisement with lots of famous brands: Coca Cola, Pepsi, Levis, Chanel and so on. And he also has cooperated with numerous well known singers, including Sting, Michael Jackson.L: Yeah, you&`&re right. And on no account can we overlook his biggest character as a director, do you know that?C: The biggest character? I think it is his unique directing style. Because what he really think most is the realism of human nature and society. Right?L: You are right. Due to this point, his films are always popular, I suppose.C:That's it.L: Now, let&`&s learn about his films in detail.B: Fincher&`&s work, except "Alien 3", more familiar is "Seven Crimes" in 1996 (also known as "FireWire Chase Order") and "Fight Club" in 1999. In "Se7en", David Fincher shows the talent of a black thriller and cooperates with photographer, to create a detective films that are fascinating in both image and plot. The seven great Sins of the Old Testament: gluttony, lust, laziness, pride, greed, anger, jealousy ... S: Of course, chaos and darkness are the keynote of the film. The director said he deliberately emphasized the boldness of the uncoordinated. New York is filled with moisture, graffiti, and dark corners, and becomes the best place to interpret psychopathic murders. B: The plot is more difficult to get rid of the old mechanism, is still a fresh-blooded new detective cooperate with a old, stable, experienced police. Combat difficult criminals. But the layout of the story and the handling of the conflict are pretty good. It is a good-looking and style detective film.S: However, more exciting is the next work "Fight Club". This is a description of the people who divide the mind, the evil leader of a group of people, to fight each other as the emotional catharsis of the film, not only shows the modern people face the oppression of life, but also revealed that the brutal nature of the confusion will be confused, step by step to the destruction of the hidden worries, for the nature of modern society has a very good warning role.I: Only the subject is very innovative and interesting, and the director of imagination and the wild is also quite aware of convergence, so that the film in the logic and knowledge of experience can be resonance, the view of chilling. However, the director still does not forget the power of rational and love redemption, the drama and The Strange Woman&`&s love, faint become the later male lead reason awakening motivation, it is the most important meaning for the film.B: Like the Seven sins, the Fight Club has been criticized for its violence by some cheap critics. But it is in some ways a serious discussion of the difference between meaningful violence and senseless violence, making these attacks a slap in the face.I: The film&`&s Mirror is smooth and fast, the plot is strong and powerful, a runaway atmosphere full of splitting, tightly clasped the hearts of the viewer. In addition to the "Guess Train", "Tai Pin code", for the lens language application is very good work. "Fight Club" more than the connotation of "seven crimes", the form of use and depth beyond the general Hollywood film.L: It could be said that if David Fincher is a genius, David Lynch could be a lunatic. As a famous American director, who is addicted to the coffee, he made his own brand of coffee. He is the representative figure of the American non-mainstream film industry contemporary. Although he is in the Hollywood, he develops a school of his own. His film is famous for the gorgeous, gloomy and strange style with his black humor.SH: He grew up in the bottom of the society in Philadelphia. He lived in the dark side of citizens&`& life. The violent and corrupt he met has made a great influence on him. Although he is getting on for seventy years old, he has been devoting himself to reappear the nightmare in people's pallium. L: He is so remarkable that he reveals the trauma which we do not want to face with his imagination. I am just a ordinary person like anyone else, he said, our greatest fear is from the death. It's the source of the fear itself.SH: In the 1977, Lynch inspired his Philadelphia life, created the 5-year-old horror film "Rubber Head". In this film, he showed his fear and anxiety to the dark side of society from a father&`&s point of view and surrealism.D: Thanks to the famous producer Ben Barennoz's efforts to finally be released, and a shot of popularity, has been widely affirmed in the commentary field, he pushed on the surreal film production at the forefront.SH: The success of "Rubber Head" attracted attention of the famous director Mel Brooks. In 1980, he invited Lynch to direct the drama "Elephant Man", the first mainstream film of Lynch&`&s creation. Tells the story of a distorted head-shaped "Elephant Man" John Merrick in British society in the 19th century. D: In 1984, Lynch directed the action sci-fi "Dune" for Dino De Laurentis, adapted from Frank Herbert's "Dune" series of science fiction. At the pinnacle of his career, Lynch gave up the big screen film, and in 1990 he launched a music video "Heartbreak Dream" with longtime partner-composer Angelo-Dalmonti. In the same year, he filmed his most successful ABC TV series "Twin Peaks".L: Later, Lynch launched his 5th film, "My Heart Is Wild," and the next few years, he disappeared from people&`&s view. In addition to a 1994-year photo album, there are five of years, people can not hear any news about him. He changed his familiar bizarre themes, directing the road Plot "The Straight Story". More than one person commented: "David Lynch is back." L: That's all for today's program. Hope you enjoy it. I think I won't confuse them anymore.B: Have a nice evening. 最后感谢制作张宇航。 See you next Friday.L:See you~节目监制:赛碧乐编辑:毕鑫屹 邹佳琳播音:邹佳琳 毕鑫屹 孟萌萌 孙晨棣 张桐珲 王雪莹 姜晓璐制作:张宇航
