I got an email from a viewer and they wanted to tell me about this new movie and OMG it looks really funny. It has a ridiculous premise, but with Jack Black, Mos Def and Michel Gondry involved it has to be good.

Plus it's right up our alley. All about DIY film making. What do you guys think?

Guys if you liked that you should definatly watch The pick of destiny. It's with Jack Black and Kyle gass on an epic quest of finding a guitar pick with the devils powers :D

What Justin said. Gondry + Jb = Sex

I've been excited about this for a long time. Such a fresh idea and not a frickin remake.

Well. I just saw it and....it wasn't a great movie!....it wasn't bad! it was just kind of...eh in the middle....Id watch it again if it was on T.V but I wont go out of my way to see it , kind of a movie.

Yeah, Gondry was on the Late Night with Conan O'Brien show
last night. They showed a clip from the movie.

Personally, I think the idea was already taken a few years
back when the "Amanda Show" was airing on Nickelodeon
and they had the segment called BLOCKBLISTER where the
family owned video store recreated all the movies themselves.

Anyone remember that show/segment???????????

Do you have digital cable or Direct tv or tivo or something like that?

im seeing that the day it comes out!!!!!!!!

17thletterfilms

02-23-2008, 09:59 PM

Yeah, I saw it and liked it! It was very Indy Mogul-ish (but not as good ;-D). The Amanda Show segment was kind of like it, but MUCH worse. I'd probably see it again.

I wanna see this movie so bad. But I have to work all this weekend and then I have to go to jury duty on Monday. :supermad: So the earliest I'll be able to see it is Tuesday.

blackdiamond

02-24-2008, 02:11 AM

I'd really like to see this but won't be able to until it's in wide release. It's just not playing near me. Happens a lot for films that start in limited release. I had to wait a while to see Juno.

FyceDesigns

02-24-2008, 04:23 AM

I just saw it tonight. Hilarious. Though the ending was a little un-ending-like, it implied what happened. I really liked the artsy look the film had. My favorite part was when it was showing them making all of the movies while the camera panned across each scene. I'd definitely see it again sometime.

I saw it yesterday, it wasn't amazing or nothing.

It's out now!

I could've seen it, but it was too far out of our way, so we saw Witless Protection instead.

smashingrobkins

02-24-2008, 01:04 PM

for some odd reason its not playing in any of the theaters around here,:supermad:

I saw it last night. It was really funny.

Kohrsfilms

02-26-2008, 09:18 PM

I finally got to see it last night. If you go in expecting the entire movie to be them making sweded movies you'll walk out disappointed. While that is a key component to the story, it's not what the whole movie is about.

It's funny and it has it's moments. It's an okay film.

SteveNelson'sEvilTwin

02-26-2008, 09:25 PM

so we saw Witless Protection instead.

May God have mercy on your soul for supporting such idiocy.

Has anyone else seen it yet? I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great idea and Jack Black and Mos Def we're really good in it. What's everyone else's opinion of it?

Shade2193

03-06-2008, 03:19 PM

I saw it, and I liked it.

(SPOILER)

My fav part was when they were breaking into the factory, and the cops came, and they kinda blended in with the fence.:D

snicket

03-06-2008, 03:29 PM

It is out?! I want to see it. I did not know it was out already....I wonder if it is playing in my theaters. Is it good?

HILARIOUS!!!!

NinternMike

03-07-2008, 02:38 PM

I just saw it as well. It was very enjoyable, cute, and creative. Lacked some needed depth, i think, but it does well to capture the heart and spirit of DYI filmmaking. A defineite must see for any moguler.

ERich2010

07-05-2008, 01:29 PM

Hey have any of you guys seen this movie. i just watched last night and just thought it captured the true spirit of movie making. Also, it reminded me so much of what we do here:making magic for little to no budget at all. if you havent seen it, go check it out!

fallingstarstudios

07-05-2008, 01:57 PM

i love that movie.. and jack black makes the movie even better.

It was very good, I especially like ghostbusters.

I thought it was a pretty funny movie. It was certainly fun to watch.

punkandska66

07-05-2008, 02:07 PM

Yeah I saw it about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I dunno if it captured the filmmaking thing TODAY, but a few years ago, sure why not? It kinda is related to Son of Rambow. It was the first good Jack Black movie that I've seen since School of Rock. I liked it alot.

17thletterfilms

07-05-2008, 02:10 PM

I thought it was really fun, and it was the best Jack Black movie I've seen since King Kong. In fact, I think I only liked Jack Black in King Kong and Be Kind Rewind.

ciwi286

07-05-2008, 02:25 PM

Am I the only person who didn't think this movie was that good. I mean... I would watch it again and I liked some parts but over all it wasn't a very satisfying movie. That being said I cant remember why. I went to see back when it came out I can't remember what I thought was bad only that it wouldn't be a movie I would go out of my way to see again.

Flamekebab

07-05-2008, 02:48 PM

I'm with you on this one, ciwi286. It's alright, it's not bad, but I didn't feel particularly drawn in. Heart-warming, maybe, but it was pretty tedious at times.

punkandska66

07-05-2008, 02:51 PM

It looked uber indie. Budget of like 1,000 dollars. Not really, but it sure looked like it.

Yeah I know, wasn't it great? Reminded me of my elementary school days of making movies with my parents' huge camcorder.

WesScog

08-12-2008, 01:47 AM

I know! It was like a can of condensed childhood.

Video stores, some of my favorite movies, building my own stuff, imitating my favorite films, it reminded me of so many things.

What was your favorite part? Mine was the montage scene where it showed all of the movies.

I loved that, how it drifted from film to film seamlessly. The ending was so sad.

Gondry is such a great great director.

My favorite overall part would probably be the Ghostbusters sequence, I loved their Marshmallow man.

Indymoguler

08-12-2008, 02:13 AM

oh when they screened their faces negative and taped it onto their heads when they did the negative scene, there faces would look normal. lol

WesScog

08-12-2008, 02:22 AM

That was so funny. I loved that.

I loved how they made films and came up with the same solutions that children would.

FyceDesigns

08-12-2008, 02:25 AM

It was hilarious when they showed the photo of the crowd, then sprayed whipped cream all over it to show the marshmellow man exploding. And the sparkly streamer things they used for energy beams. Haha, classic stuff.

The end was really special... It's the kind of premiere that I'd love - the whole community coming together.

Very life affirming.

I bought this last week at walmart for $13.

I just watched it a few minutes ago with my mom.

We both loved it. And it got her more excited in my decision to enter filmmaking.

There were PLENTY of "neat tricks" for us amateurs.

Does this director have a long history of 'indy' films?

Cause almost every tactic was clever.

Yes, Michel Gondry uses a lot of really "basic" tricks in his films, but makes them look amazing.

His films kind of have a very stripped down quality, where he utilizes his imagination over simply just throwing more money at them.

I HIGHLY suggest checking out his other films, Human Nature (http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2274361625/), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338013/) (With Jim Carrey), and The Science of Sleep (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354899/).

He's also done a lot of really fantastic short films, and he's done literally a PILE of renowned music videos, including The Whites Stripes "Fell in Love with a Girl", with the Legos.

I just saw this movie again, like literally a few minutes ago, and checked out some youtube sweded films. I just wanted to know if anyone here has tried any of their own sweded films.
