JUNKFILM

That wasn’t pleasant imagery was it?  But, alas, it was all I could muster for having been awake for almost 2 days now.  Ok, so here’s the plan of action, my dear peoples of the reading… the blog…  You understand.

We here at Junk Film are expanding our writers to include some different points of view.  Now all the reviews won’t come from a guy who see Seven Samurai and Bring It On on the same level of writing.  No longer will we only be discussing my hatred and lusts for certain films… And no longer will we only be reviewing films I have seen.  Now we can review films I have no intention of seeing (i.e., anything at all involving Will Smith).

I’ll be sure to add more info as the information comes clear to me.

When the triad was leaked onto the Internet yesterday, the world found out just how insane Christian Bale is. Haven’t heard about this yet? Well, apparently, director of photography (whom at film school we are taught is the 2nd most important person on the set), Shane Hurlbut, walked into the set while Christian was acting and was thrown off due to this movement out of the corner of his eye. He stops the scene and proceeds to scream and belittle the DP in front of the entire cast and crew.

Today, the assistant director/associate producer, Bruce Franklin, came out and talked about the lashing out on the set… and get this… he sides with Bale on the issue. Bale’s argument is that the scene was the most intensive emotional scene of the film and breaking his concentration fucked the whole thing up….  and the crew is backing him up!!!

I’m sorry.  I’m sorry.  I completely forgot about the industry rules that specify an actor’s allowance to unleash and scream at a crew member (who is above them on the food chain) if they fuck up an emotional scene.  It was gone over in our producing and directing actors class.  They made it very clear that the actor was completely allowed to bark and verbally castrate major elements of the film making crew.  I mean, after all, that makes complete sense.

Uh….

How about not yelling at the guy who is going to make you look good?  How about not being a douche?  How about shutting the fuck up and doing your fucking job?  This is after all, his job.  I so want to scream at one of my bosses when they walk in the room because they fucked up my concentration while fixing a computer.

“HEY JAG OFF!!!  How about a little courtesy and some fucking quiet??!!  This is after all, a Fucking GateWay!!!!”

And my other boss would stand up for me and say, “Yeah, you walked into your office and disturbed him.  You are at fault.”

108,867 people are shaking their heads in disbelief.

After a 10 year silence, Red Dwarf the comedy/sci-fi show will be making a return in television. Cue tears of joy now. Red Dwarf ran on BBC from 1988 to 1999 for 8 seasons and accumulated a huge cult following.

Garth from Darkhorizons reports:

“UK digital channel Dave is planing a two-part, two hour Easter weekend special “Red Dwarf: Back to Earth ” which sees the cast finally reach home after being lost in Deep Space for over three million years. The shows co-creator Doug Naylor will pen and direct the episodes.

The four key cast members - Craig Charles as the slovenly last human Lister, Danny John-Jules as the vain half-feline Cat, Robert Llewelyn as meticulous mechanoid Kryten and Chris Barrie as the anal-retentive hologram Rimmer are all set to return.

The first part will be a double episode of the series which will be set ten years after the last season and will likely ignore the unresolved cliffhanger in “Only the Good…”. The time jump will also take into account the age difference of the actors and the absence of the other cast members.

The second part will be a behind-the-scenes special from the new episodes along with a “no holds barred” episode without sets, special effects or autocue. Essentially a “Whose Line Is It Anyway” style improv session in which the actors try to recreate famous scenes from the series.”
