playbynumbers Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 yeah it's crazy to me that someone could not like 'the new world,' oh well. though i loved 'synecdoche' and i'm the only person that i know personally for whom this was the case ...

Guest Mirezzi Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yeah, I heard the other day that Kaufman's next film will be really controversial. It will feature a 30-40 minute timelapse of Kaufman being castrated for its denouement. Heady stuff. Jon Brion is working on something "epic" to span the length of the scene.

Bob Dylan Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I could watch a 6-hour version of any Malick movie... I hate people who naturally associate slow with negative things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playbynumbers Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 haven't gotten it in the mail yet, but i'll let you know. i do know that malick was forced by the studio, years ago, to cut it down from a much longer original version, so i'm guessing this is just the original version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awkwardsilence Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Yeah, I remember him saying in interviews when the movie was released that he had been forced to cut it down for theatres, and that there was an extended edition coming. I'll sit it out and wait for the blu-ray version. Here's hoping they'll remaster Badlands as well. That old dvd release is ugly looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeshi Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 they say the next malick film is gonna have dinosaurs in it?!?! Tree of Life I think the plot has probably been changed a lot from the original treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Tree of Life is still vague. It's unknown if the Dinosaur thing is still part of the movie, some reports say that it was edited out and made into another project for the next year. Lubezki is again his DP, so it's (as always) going to be beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zaphod Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 watched this again. ok, so it is a beautiful movie, i concede. the thing that bothers me, and it really bothers me, is the score. not the wagner and mozart, but the somber james horner score that lifts from braveheart almost verbatim. it's hack work and it brings the movie down for me. this is a film that relies on the interplay of imagery and music, so when the music is great, it works, but since most of it is just the score, it doesn't. still my least favorite malick film (days of heaven is his best).

playbynumbers Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 yeah, it was a hassle for malick to even get that much horner out of it (he threw out the entire original horner score). also the film is like 12 minutes too long. also, hilariousness; days of heaven is his worst film, i think, and the new world is his best. UH OH, OPINIONS ON THE INTERNET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Horner has hacked himself for decades. He reuses stuff constantly. If you go to movie music forums, you'll see how it's a constant running joke what he does. Not only lifts from himself, but is majorely deritative of existing classical compositions. Every composer is "influenced", but he just rips them off blattantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
