I'd see it again, too; it was absorbing, and spectacular. If I were brought in to re-write one scene...

Posted by: second gary (a.k.a 80181597) on Jun 14, 09:40 in response to islander's post hmm okay. now can you revise the rest of it?

... it would be the scene where Weyland "appears," and talks Shaw into going back into the ship.  There has to be a more plausible way to get her back; that would usually involve a rescue attempt of some sort.  But there wouldn't have to be... there's just something mis-handled here.  Think of the parallel situation in "Contact," where JFOST's character has a sneaky, dying industrialist pulling the strings; that relationship is spacious and credible, and there really isn't one between Weyland and Shaw.  David takes an interest in her, and the captain, a little.  There has to be a way to fix this moment without spoiling its Kubrickian chill quality.

TF: New images and first clip from Life of Pi Jane_Citizen Jun 14, 04:41

Images are beautiful.. But I hated the book :) {nm} Dave3626 Jun 14, 05:21

I liked it :) Thought it would be unfilmable, but am interested to see what ALEE does with it {nm} Jane_Citizen Jun 14, 05:27

Yeah, ALEE is the kind of director who could make it work. Loved Crouching Tiger.. And an ex-girlfriend forced me into going to Dave3626 Jun 14, 05:37

Did you see the LIFPI scene shown as a trailer before PROME? It's terrific. second gary Jun 14, 07:07

I'm also a big Lee fan. Crouch is fantastic, but so are Sense, Ride, Ice Storm, Brokeback. Hoping Pi will be a return to form {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 14, 07:17

Ice storm my least favorite off all time, and with taking woodstock and hulk, ive no love for ang! islander Jun 14, 07:20

What I appreciate about "The Ice Storm," and I can see in the others ("Brokeback Mountain" and "Crouching...", too) is... second gary Jun 14, 07:48

i hate sitting through other peoples struggles, misery, hardships, etc (unless there is a Rocky style happy ending :) islander Jun 14, 07:58

In that spirit, idea for a revised ending for PROME. second gary Jun 14, 08:07

hmm okay. now can you revise the rest of it? islander Jun 14, 08:44

I'd rewrite almost every scene so that the characters behave like... you know... actual PEOPLE {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 14, 11:40

oh, I love Ice Storm. I think he's such a versatile and sensitive director. Jane_Citizen Jun 14, 16:09

Not yet! {nm} Jane_Citizen Jun 14, 16:08
