My entry is too long at 8:30 but nonetheless I did get to produce a film with some big stars in it.

#movie #98: The Fellowship of the Ring

Also, I watched the extended version this time and it just reaffirmed my long-standing belief that the standard editions are better movies, and the extended versions are just “more LOTR” and that all some people want, which is fine. For me, it shows how impactful editing is on the final product, and how amazing a job they did for the theatrical cuts.

It's truly one of the greatest films ever made, a crowning achievement that feels positively impossible to have been made at all.
Thank god this came out in the height of the DVD era and we got deep behind-the-scenes and commentary tracks for these films. It would be such a crime to only get the overly-produced, hide-the-real-work BTS stuff we get today. I can't imagine how many people people got into movie making and special effects based on these features.

#movie #97: The Pope’s Exorcist

Was it particularly good? No. Was it at least having some fun with the genre and still manage to be decently entertaining? Yup.

I dreamt I was on a really good film set, shooting a high profile comedy (yeah, I know, we don’t really make those as much lately) with really talented writers, directors and such. Felt really good, such a nice break from what the world is right now.

The Vanishing Lady (France, 1896). It is a trick film directed by Georges Méliès. It features Méliès and Jehanne d'Alcy performing a trick in the manner of a stage illusion.

Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vanishing_Lady

#silentfilm #classicfilm #cinema #film #movie

A frame from the film. The scene is set indoors, possibly a stage or a decorated room.

The primary subject is a man dressed in a formal suit, complete with a white bow tie and a small flower or emblem on his lapel. He has a mustache and a neatly trimmed beard. He is holding up a large object, which appears to be a striped or patterned fabric, possibly a cloak or a large sheet. The fabric is draped over something, giving it a conical shape.

The backdrop consists of a wall with decorative panels. These panels are ornately framed and feature painted scenes, possibly landscapes or decorative motifs. There is also a window or doorway with a detailed frame visible behind the man and the fabric, which hints at an outdoor scene. To the left of the man is a dark, possibly upholstered piece of furniture, perhaps a chair or a bench.

⚕️A Cure For Wellness. This abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium was used as filming location for this 2016 psychological horror film. In the movie a young executive is sent to a mysterious health retreat in the Swiss Alps but soon realises this spa's miraculous treatments are not what they seem!

Although this fascinating building is actually located near Berlin (Germany), and not in the Swiss Alps ;)
