Hmm. Iiinteresting. I do like unusual compositions. I like to push it to the point where it pisses the editors off a bit. Can't be too radical and forward thing, now, can we!?

It's the Philippines, so it really needed to be. But I think I am over-compensating for the utter shite weather we've been having here lately. Four bloody foot of snow in April!!!

Bring on the summer.

You, sir, know how to capture a summer mood.

God knows how. We never seem to have a bastard summer here.

It's the summer in your mind!

It's a debauched nightclub in MY mind, with neon lighting, booze and titties.

It's a wrong, sorry place, but I never let it bleed into my work.

Hahaha, then I suppose watching films like Falling Down helped you capture the summer mood?

My mind is some kind of post-apocalyptic disaster. At the same time, it's also pre-apocalyptic. Don't ask.

God, it's been far too long since I've watched it. I need to hit my old favourites of cinematographic loveliness...
Jurassic Park, Falling Down, Collateral, Cellular, Point Break, Beverly Hills Cop 1&2, Brick, L.A. Confidential and Bad Boys.

Can you have a 'post' apocalypse? Isn't apocalypse the end of everything? Post apocalypse would be after the end. So, like a post credits stinger. Does Samuel L Jackson pop up in your head and ask you about the Avengers Initiative? ha ha.

Oh wow, Collateral, I love that film as well. And I can see where your LA vibe comes from now!

A post apocalypse presupposes that there were a number of survivors. So I guess it really wasn't the end. But what I really mean is, a post-disaster world, Mad Max and Book of Eli style? Hahaha, Samuel L. Jackson doesn't pop out, but Morgan Freeman's in there often. D:

"...Andy, was a goood maaan..."

Not too keen on the dourness of the end of it all. I like the world how it is, with all it's faults and all.

I love how Collateral looks, as well as the story etc. Beautiful film, and oddly for me, all set a night. And you can't beat Jason Statham's cameo at the beginning. Is he supposed to be Frank Martin, The Transporter? I'd like to think so.

citizen17 In reply to CarlPearce [2013-04-24 15:37:47 +0000 UTC]

Oh I definitely agree, and prefer the world as it is. Though I am invariably drawn towards post-apocalyptic films. And it's wierd, because I also love films set in the city, in the ordinary world. Full of contradictions? Yes I am.

YES Collateral looks amazing. Michael Mann does like to shoot films with night scenes. Miami Vice is another example. DUDE I never thought about Jason's cameo that way before, you might just be right!

He's a courier. Dropping off a suitcase. Wearing the exact same slim-fit black suit.

I'll bet he could kick the living shit outta Tom Cruise.

Mind = blown. I'm totally watching it again very very soon. I have it on VHS can you believe it.

But does he also do his own stunts?

CarlPearce In reply to citizen17 [2013-04-25 16:18:22 +0000 UTC]

Statham? Yeah, he does. He has no stunts in Collateral, mind. But yeah, he does his own in Transporter. The majority at least.

Just like Tom Cruise, no? I call for a duel between the two of them, see who survives!

CarlPearce In reply to citizen17 [2013-04-26 00:13:48 +0000 UTC]

Statham. Sorry, no contest. Cruise would try to blind Stath with his silly porcelain teeth, but Jason would fly-kick him to the throat.

Hahahaha, true, but it wouldn't be a fair contest, Cruise is an old man these days!
