Mike Ryan: 'Dark Shadows': Will Johnny Depp's Newest Put You To Sleep? (And 24 Other Urgent Questions)

Q: On a boredom scale, what movie were you reminded on while watching Dark Shadows?

A: On a pure boredom scale, Dark Shadows is reminiscent of Ordinary People. To be fair to Ordinary People, my mother made me watch the movie when I was six years old. There is still a little part of me trapped forever in that theater watching Ordinary People, just like there will always be a part of me trapped forever watching Dark Shadows.

Q: If you’re going to be blurbed in this weekend’s commercials for Dark Shadows, what quote do you think will be used?

A: “Dark Shadows is reminiscent of the Academy Award-winning movie, Ordinary People!” Mike Ryan, The Huffington Post

Q: Does Barnabas seek revenge against Angelique? Does he use his vampire powers to try to destroy her?

A: Barnabas uses his business knowledge in an attempt to destroy her stake in the fishing industry. Also: I’m serious. This is what Dark Shadows is about. I’m reading that sentence over and over, thinking, Is that right? That can’t be right.

I was willing to love you, Dark Shadows. Why did it have to be this way?

“[It’s] funny, but also has full-bodied horror elements. Barnabas [Johnny Depp] does kill people in this [and] there’s more of the Burton Sweeney Todd than the trailer implies. This is not Burton’s Addams Family, but a successful amalgamation of his comedic and gothic horror styles.” (via New International Trailer for ‘Dark Shadows’ | Rope of Silicon)

P.S. There is also nail polish.

Battleship review – Best For Film

So, is [Taylor Kitsch] the man for the job? The fact that this is a film where he obviously is says YES, but the fact that his is a face is so bland he’s genuinely trickier to pin-point in a scene than an alien ship deep in the waters of the Pacific says NO. Much of your viewing experience of Battleship will be spent thinking “who is this douche-bag now? Who is this new shouty man?” – the answer is, it’s always Taylor Kitsch. Even when you’re SURE it’s someone else, it’s not. It’s him. Even when it’s Rihanna, or Alexander Skarsgård, or that kid who looks like a teen baddie out of Power Rangers, it’s him, and he’s screaming, and the aliens are coming, but are they aliens or is it Taylor Kitsch again, and god I can’t think, it’s so loud, so unforgivably loud and hang on, someone was pithy, was that pith that just happened? How can anyone involved in this be capable of pith? TAYLOR! TAYLOR? PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME TAYLOR FOR THAT LASS WHO’S CLIMBING THAT SIGNIFICANT HILL CHEST-FIRST, YOURS IS THE ONLY FACE I KNOW AND THE ONLY ONE I CANNOT REMEMBER.

When my aunt and I went to see The Hunger Games, this ran before it; Katniss is hunting deer at the beginning, and my aunt leans over and mutters, “HERE COMES BELLA!” Make yourself useful and feed some starving Appalachian kids, Swan.

Interview: The Hunger Games Director Gary Ross - ComingSoon.net

Since someone who reblogged a clip noticed this—I thought it was interesting:

ComingSoon: One of the first things that struck me about the look of “The Hunger Games” is how you break the 180 degree rule in a very stylistic manner. That’s not an easy thing to pull off and it achieves a very distinct look in the final film. Can you talk about why you chose to take that approach?

Gary Ross: Thank you! You know, both my editors, Juliette Welfling and Stephen Mirrione, are tremendously comfortable with that. We also cut from people to the same people. There are like 300 jump cuts in the movie, too. You’re not supposed to cut from a person to themselves. We break a lot of rules, but it’s all very, very conscious and all within a style that we talked about in advance. It keeps the pace of the movie going and keeps the movie a little bit destabilized, as Katniss is. I love jumping the axis. I think that’s an absolute blast. But you have to do it in a way where you still maintain geography. It’s very astute of you to notice. We do that a lot, but it’s all very well thought-out.

There’s also some interesting stuff about the sound designer, who also did Drive.
