[The tired cat]

I grew up reading (sidebar: I was mostly DC but aware of Marvel's 'big' names) comics and had never heard of Moon Knight until a couple years ago. I feel like a lot of Bob's "lifelong" Marvel fandom is performative and artificial.

It's such a fake nerd thing to cream yourself over an obscure character and pretend you've been a fan forever. Like when The James Gunn's The The Suicide Squad The trailer came out and people were like "OMG MY HECKIN POLKA DOT MAN" fuck you. You'd never heard about him till you saw the trailer and Googled the name from whatever forgotten Silver Age toilet paper he was featured on.

I dunno, Id disagree on the Polka Dot Man, while some people prob did google him, theres also a chance thry know of him from the Batman Brave&Bold series...where he was a whole different character actually.

Diabetics are advised to avoid fruit juice because it raises blood sugar levels quickly. So, he hasn't cut sweet drinks out of his diet and is doing further harm to his pancreas. He would be better off eating the fruit itself. If he has any kidney issues related to his diabetes or is in danger of developing them, he should avoid cola drinks as well. Alcohol is also not advised. I suggest Bob drink water if he wants to outlive his Mom.View attachment 2983306

Never mind the "occasional" fruit juice, Bob REALLY needs to cut OUT the REAL sugar problem in his diet.

The goddamn BOOZE. That stuff turns to sugar INSTANTLY (and if he gets drunk, it's not to great for his kidneys and liver either).

Spoiler: Herzogsperg

Herzog is not "epic" and I fucking hate his idiotic mythologizing of him, he's going to die pretty soon, same as most great men born in the 40s. He's a bold man and a good filmmaker and fully capable of throwing a great movie together with no actors or money, he's a living endorsement of what one man can do with his time and life. Seeing retards praise him based off of shit he half-remembered from a Conan O'Brien interview or wikipedia is irritating as fuck. Hell he didn't even remember it right, he did actually do this shit, it was a real film school he started. This is half-remembered Wikipedia shit from him.

You know why Herzog talks about random shit instead of how to shoot a shot? Because modern directors are overeducated in filmmaking when it's irrelevant for how movies are made now, the skill floor for filmmaking is actually very, very high. Shit that simply couldn't be done when he was learning to make movies is now trivial and cheap and doable with your phone. Ultra high framerate photography? High quality audio? Aerial shots? Achievable with a fucking craigslist post from your editing terminal which is also your camera and it costs you 1 grand and it fits in your hand. Herzog had to steal his first camera and film.

Herzog's idea of safety isn't for entitled professionals and coddled overgrown children, but safety in the sense of a head of a company (and any film production is a company, headed by the director and producers) provides at a basic level for the safety of his employees during a dangerous project. It was born from him shooting in conflict zones in South America and Africa, often with a frequent collaborator, an OG schizocow, Klaus Kinski. His Rogue Film School (think it's defunct now) was for teaching people who knew how to shoot a movie how to be a guerilla director, and not take no for an answer when it came to making a film.

Most of Herzog's best movies are shot on location, using non-actors, and occasionally (in his early career or during more desperate projects like Fitzcarraldo or Cobra Verde or Aguirre) using stolen materials and equipment or fake permits. He ignored the fuck out of PETA guidelines and drowned a fuckload of rats for a shot in his Nosferatu. He's an odd director in that if you hand him a bad premise and no money he'll give you gold (watch Family Romance LLC to see what he can accomplish with digital cameras and non actors, or Woyzeck), and if you hand him a zillion dollars and a bunch of stars he'll make some bullshit like Queen of the Desert. Famously he shot Fitzcarraldo in a conflict zone using what sure looks kinda like (to wokescold eyes) slave labor with fake permits and a lot of promises he, a German with a camera and a couple million dollars earmarked for one specific and autistic purpose, could never have achieved. He went to an active volcano to film a short documentary after the government of that island had evacuated all but the most stubborn and retarded of locals.

Herzog has made statements to the effect that making art is a sort of right that can be asserted by strength of will alone, and if you don't have the camera but have the film in you, you should steal the camera to make the film. Beyond that he's given several speeches to the effect that film has to find new kinds of images and stories, and only directors with great courage in both the artistic and pragmatic sense can achieve this. He's a very successful arthouse director so I imagine he's probably still capable of holding himself to art school ambitions without feeling like a hypocrite. These beliefs formed the core idea of his film school--a school to teach directors how to have balls.

God damn it moviebob can you fucking watch movies seriously for once in your stupid fucking life instead of gawking at the anticinema of the day. Herzog has been doing cameos to amuse himself and for easy paydays. He has a thick accent and a deep voice that's famous from his documentaries and people who make movies now like his documentaries and use his reputation for credit. I don't know if he's ever fucking seen Star Wars. He publicly claims to prefer reading books to watching movies, which I believe. His kinds of movies are the kind you make when you only give a fuck about your principles and your work.

Why the fuck is he on twitter when he's at peak fucking brainlet at the age of 40

Well I don't mind that he's on Twitter since most people on that horrendous platform are also brainlets. I have a strong feeling that part of those silly tweets was inspired by Patton Oswald's standup.

And the whole claim that film is a far more collaborative process doesn't really hold true when it comes to the most widely acclaimed films. The Director on set is the boss of the production. He tells the cameramen how he wants shots done, he tells the actors how to perform, if he doesn't like what the costume people made he'll tell them they need to change it. When the Editor is putting the movie together the director will often be there or in close contact to make any key decisions. And the result is that when the director has that full control & he's talented they have a signature style that's their own.

Martin Scorcese is a great example. Watch his Mafia trilogy in the form of Goodfellas, Casino, and Wolf of Wallstreet. They tell these stories of professional criminals in remarkably similar ways because Scorcese determined that was the best way to deliver the story. Watch Tarantino or Paul Thomas Anderson, they do the same thing. For crying out loud watch a few Wes Anderson movies, Wes Anderson likes doing his style of filmmaking. Even in a lot of your big budget blockbusters the directors style will still appear, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies used a lot of unique film techniques that Raimi developed when he was making his beloved Evil Dead movies.

Yes the director doesn't deserve credit for literally everything. But we all say it was their movie because we've always recognized it ultimately is the director especially the legends that define the film. Do great film editors and cinematographers merit more credit? Well yes since no one but super passionate film geeks remembers them. But at the end of the day people who care about movies tend to think of the director more than even the stars. That's why you can buy box sets of an Alfred Hitchcock collection because Hitchcock's methods overlap.

Going back to Tarantino see the enjoyable movie True Romance, it's a fun movie particularly if you like Tarantino's writing. But it's not a Tarantino movie because Tony Scott directed it and frankly Scott didn't direct the material as well as Tarantino would have. And that leads to my conclusion that the director's control of the film has even more impact than the screenwriter who came up with the damn story and dialog.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

As someone who actually supports blasphemy laws:
1) even if you don't hold the same beliefs I do about speech you have to accept that there's a difference between banning offensive or blasphemous speech and banning speech that could cause violence (like drill music). So Greenwald is wrong.
2) the difference between the Florida anti-LGBT ideology bill and what the Dems are doing is that the government of Florida has far less power than the Democrat establishment and that the bill has a far narrower scope. If Blackrock bans what they consider offensive speech than that is a bigger threat to "free speech" than the governor of Florida doing that. So Moviebob is wrong (although you could probably have guessed that)>

[glib]

I get what Herzog wants Directors to do. It's the same thing Hemingway was implying about writing.
If you have no life lived, then you have no life to write about. First live some life, get some experiences, life skills, and then direct a story about life. Otherwise you won't have much to go on.

But I'd have to ask Werner, "Why don't you just teach the Directors what the other departments do?"
Quentin Tarantino was obsessed with the idea he had to know how to do everything until Terry Gilliam told him he doesn't have to know about Fresnel lenses or how to set up his lights properly. He just needs to hire the right people and tell them what he wants.

But the thing is, the best directors and I'd even say the best filmmakers in general have skill-sets that go beyond just telling "X department guy" what they want.
Sure the vision and ability to explain what you want is a core skill/natural talent to have.
However, having skills in other creative areas is extremely helpful.

Christopher Nolan was a script reader and camera operator, and he focuses heavily on concept, plot structure, and visuals.
Stanley Kubrick was a still photographer, and his films look amazing in terms of camera placement/lens selection/framing.
Ridley Scott was a production designer who studied Graphic Design, and his good movies look very aesthetically pleasing. They look like real places even when they're futuristic, historical, or anachronistic.
John Ford was an actor, stuntman, handyman, and more for his brother who was in Vaudeville and films. He had a very consistent output, and knew how to get the most out of his company.
John Huston was a writer before he was an actor and director, and his films are well rounded in my opinion thanks to such things.
George Lucas taught cinematography to US Navy students and assisted Coppola on The Godfather. I don't need to explain his significance.
Martin Scorsese was an assistant director and editor on a documentary before making Boxcar Bertha for Roger Corman.
Orson Welles was a stage actor who produced and performed with his own repertory. He also did radio before making Citizen Kane.

It's quite obvious that the more well rounded a filmmaker is, the better they know the art form.
the more vigorous they are, the more practical and experienced they are, the better their films and film productions can be.
The hidden art to producing films is knowing how to make them. I know that sounds ridiculous, but knowing what you can buy for your money, knowing how to get the best out of your cast and crew, knowing how to make decisions ahead of time and in the moment are all things that are underwritten in film blogs and books. There's simply no replacement for knowledge gained by doing, and the desire to know more about how to make things. There's no replacement for working with other people who you can call later.

It's like wanting to own a restaurant. You should work in a kitchen before you open one, because you're going to have to know what it takes to get the job done.

There's only a few people like Stephen Spielberg who just seem to transition from making films on 8mm, to making films in school, to making films for 500 bucks, and then making television professionally. But even he conceived of, wrote, and shot most of that early stuff himself.

The old joke is everyone wants to direct. But you gotta do something in the mean time to make money right?
So go to work. But if you have no skills, how are you going to get your foot in the door?
Another way of saying this is, how many youtube videos does Bob have to make before he gets noticed by Hollywood, and gets to tell everyone what to do?
Of course the answer is that to get the job you have to have something to offer that is written on paper, on your diploma, in your portfolio, or in your resume.
Experience, working hard, knowing things. Thats what gives people confidence in you, since all film funding is based on taking a risk. And yes, films are extremely collaborative.
Who wants to work creatively for someone who doesn't have an interest in their own creativity?
Who wants to work with someone they don't get along with?
Who wants to work with someone who doesn't know anything about what they do?
Who wants to work with someone who isn't going to do the job well?

You know why Herzog talks about random shit instead of how to shoot a shot?

Shit that simply couldn't be done when he was learning to make movies is now trivial and cheap and doable with your phone. Ultra high framerate photography? High quality audio? Aerial shots? Achievable with a fucking craigslist post from your editing terminal which is also your camera and it costs you 1 grand and it fits in your hand. Herzog had to steal his first camera and film.

Gonna have to hard disagree on "you can do what a film camera, proper xenon/arc lighting, and optical/visual/special effects" can do properly with a couple bucks and your phone.
Don't be swayed by this "8k Ultra HD 108 MP shot on iphone" memeing done by smartphone companies. The resolution can be there, the color science can be there, but its still a tiny sensor and a set of tiny lenses. High quality audio? At what bitrate? Aerial Shots? That match the resolution/color/etc. of your other shots? Editing terminal is your cameraphone? That's better than an AVID system with a properly calibrated screen on hardware that can actually process the data for you?

It just doesn't work that way I'm afraid, and that's part of why movies cost so much to make if you want them to look, and sound good. You have to hire the right people.

I don't think anyone could make a blockbuster hit on an iphone without it looking compressed and terrible in a movie theater.

Why the fuck is he on twitter when he's at peak fucking brainlet at the age of 40

Why the fuck is he telling people how to make films when he is so bad at making them?

@cardenio "...And the whole claim that film is a far more collaborative process doesn't really hold true when it comes to the most widely acclaimed films."

It absolutely does.
The very act of direction is knowing how to collaborate with others.
How else are you going to get the performance you want from actors for example?

The Director is in charge of vision, the Producer helps make that happen with material, planning, and funding.
Every department adds or changes something to the process.
The entire process is collaborative outside of the script generation.
But auteurs in my opinion, still make the most interesting films because they are artists.

@glib I agree completely with your point.

The tools available at close to 0 budget now though the kinds of things a student or fledgling filmmaker might have, I believe are superior to tools available during many old directors' youths at the same budget and instruction level.

In my post I was comparing this more to the tech that you could get with a student's budget in the 70s when Herzog was reaching his prime as a director. Herzog started out with no formal education, and would like to produce more artists like him. This is, I think, the kind of perspective that an older director would make when thinking about a new kind of film school that offered experience and support for guerilla filmmaking, and why Herzog's Rogue Film School was pointedly not interested in classical instruction. I wasn't very clear about those particulars. The technology and access that students have without a specialized education or background are in general good enough to produce something that could be good cinema, even if it lacks the superior production values available to professionals. The kinds of student films and art films that can be made with little to no investment have a higher degree of technical quality, and the average film student nowadays has a greater understanding of film techniques. I believe that things like drone photography and new and more advanced computed photography features make new kinds of shots accessible at lower price points for less experienced journeyman filmmakers. There's things that can be done now at minimal cost that required a lot more money and cutting edge specialists and professionals. The real barrier to making a good movie I think is will nowadays.

Dammit, Blobbert, stop making me agree with you. >_<
I hate school with the fire of a thousand suns, and I will concur with mr. Broken Clock Twice a Day that a lot of schoolwork is pointless busy work. Excessive homework (hell, IMO 99% of homework is excessive, do the shit during the class day wtf) is the epitome of pointless busy work. I did best in school when I got all my schoolwork done during the school day. The idea of nuking 3 months of Summer Vacation (it's HOT, would YOU want to be in a damn classroom for 8 hours in 90 degree+ heat?! They don't have mofoing AC!) horrifies me to this day, and I haven't been in school since the mid-1990s.

One of the local districts near me (in a red state, no less) is currently experimenting with year-round school. I forget exactly how they have it set up, but I believe it's something like two weeks on, one week off, with a couple longer breaks thrown in as well. I have a friend who's teaching in that district and has kids there, I should ask her how it's working out so far. Bob being the absolute nitwit that he is thinks that year-round schooling means getting rid of all vacations and forcing kids into classrooms 52 weeks out of the year.

The issue is less the scheduling and more the one-size-fits-all mentality that has pervaded the educational system for decades and has only gotten worse in modern times. School in general was pretty boring for me because the lesson plans were generally aimed at the middle, but often lower. I didn't learn any new math concepts from classwork from something like third grade until seventh because the math program we used just went back to the basics at the start of every single year, and it was only thanks to pre-algebra that I actually got something new to learn. It took particular teachers that knew I needed something extra to keep me stimulated, and when I didn't have those, school absolutely sucked.

Thing is, while those lesson plans probably helped some kids out, they don't work for everyone. We all learn in different ways, and a good educator figures out how to bring out the best in each of their students. But there's only so many hours in the day and so many other things to deal with, so it's just easier to follow a standard template and be done with it. Then everyone wonders why Johnny can't read, the government throws more money at dem programs, and nothing improves.

Parents are also a major determinant in a child's educational success, keeping them engaged with things that they aren't going to learn in schoo. But far too many just leave it up to the schools and don't go any further than that. Sadly, it seems that it's only when it's finally brought to their attention that their kids are being shamed for being white and coerced into trooning out that they actually speak up and get involved.

Our educational system is a fucking joke and really needs a complete overhaul. Clean house, get rid of the bureaucrats that have failed to produce any results, stop the ridiculous amount of standardized testing, and let educators get back to their jobs.

I love how Bob still insists that the reason he sucked at school wasn't because he was dumb but because he has authority issues. It can be both, Robert.

Slight powerlevel, but I was a dumb smart kid. Too smart for the standard classes, but got Cs in the advanced classes at best. But before they bumped me up to the advanced classes, I was never disruptive because I had enough brain power and imagination to keep myself occupied once I'd done my work and was waiting for everyone else to finish. The reason many kids act out is because of issues at home, or they just can't get the school work. Yes you occasionally have the kid that's too smart and he gets bored, but teachers and school counselors usually pick up on that and work out a way to deal with this, possibly even advancing the kid a grade.

Bob was not sent up a grade, or sent to an advanced class, nor were his parents encouraged to send him to a gifted school. He was sent to a therapist, who he acted like a douche to until the whole thing was called a wash.
