#34016 Lack of Screen Presence on the Parts of 'Stars'

Posted by GOAB on 21 August 2010 - 07:39 AM in Silver Screen

James Dean Steve McQueen Robert Mitchum Charles Bronson Lee Marvin Paul Newman Clint Eastwood Daniel Day Lewis The list could go on and on but try doing that now and you would be lucky to find ten actors with any presence on screen or off it, its not just presence but believability, all of the above mentioned actors never really felt like they were acting but that they were living the story and its a rare but special gift.Like me Winston you have a passion for the older styles of acting but thats not going to change until actors with character and style come along.Im trying so hard to think of this generations great actors but i can't.Yes there are actors that can act but not the way it used to be done.Name one actor that has been better in a film like Cool Hand Luke, shit, just that one performance never mind the career.Acting for the most part is less of an art now, you can phone the shit in and the studios don't really care, society has become so used to mediocre films with mediocre casts that nobody really cares who is in a film or how good they can act. This generation will have to suffer the indignity of shitty films with shitty actors, which is a shame !

#33929 Films that were made for the story and not the money

Posted by GOAB on 20 August 2010 - 01:59 PM in Silver Screen

If you haven't seen The Woodsman you should definitely check it out Maddy, very good film with some incredible acting from Kevin Bacon, plus Mystic River should be watched for the cast alone.Blow was very good



#33928 Films that were made for the story and not the money

So which films have you seen where the story felt more important than the box office profits? I can't think of many but Mystic River, The Woodsman, The Green Mile, Dead Man Walking. I appreciate all are concerned with the eventual profit margins but they never felt like it while viewing them



#33926 Historical buildings V's new modern buildings

Posted by GOAB on 20 August 2010 - 12:47 PM in Main

Today i got to wondering about buildings, now that may seem very random but it led me to question which types of buildings i prefer.I love some of the new buildings architects create, they use space and light so well but there is just something about the character of older buildings, they have stories to tell and in some cases secrets to keep.I see old buildings and no matter how much of a run down shit hole they have become i can't help but be curious and sad at the same time.With newer buildings they have to be visually spectacular to stand a chance of peaking my interest. So the question is : Save older more historically interesting buildings or pave the way for the future but building innovative modern sculptural buildings?
