I would emagine they have a work order for each scene they shoot, and which film it was for. I'm sure costs were very carefully monitered for for each work order and script, and if something like catering were shared, the cost could be split (by head perhaps). Just a guess.

Oh, I'm sure Disney has an internal method of determining how to split costs. I just highly doubt that was shared since such things are rarely announced or publicly confirmed.

Finally saw ~~Inglorious N-word~~ Django Unchained

Pretty much exactly the same reaction I had with Tarrantino's previous historical fiction revenge porn fantasy. Well put together movie and all, but in the end, so much of the emotional impact it's supposed to have relies on the, "F yeah! Those sons of bitches got what they deserved!" factor. And I can't help but be immediately crushed with the followon thought of, "Oh..wait...they totally DIDN'T get what they deserved. That's a bummer."

I'm sure for most people it's just a cathartic fantasy, and certainly I am on board with other impossible fantasies...but something about the historical certainty that, no, this did not happen just ruins it for me.

Loved Gravity.

A side note: The previews were the usual special effects dominant yuk that one would expect to see prior to a movie full of special effects. Which this was. Except this truly was not that kind of movie, so it seemed a bit tin ear-ish to run those previews

Did you see it in Imax 3D? I'm planning to see it in that format on Friday. It looks like it will be good.

Quite like it. Have to be willing to ignore the liberties taken with delta-v, but otherwise compelling without too much physics issues.

Strangler Lewis · 10-06-2013, 08:47 PM

That's exactly what I was thinking during the combined Alien/Barbarella homage.

Had an interesting discussion about "Gravity" this weekend, despite no one involved having seen the actual movie.....

What film genre would you put "Gravity" in? I think it's a Historical Drama. A period picture.

Popcorn flick. Though to be fair, I haven't seen it yet, either. But looking at the trailer, it looks like an exciting action flick but check your brain at the door because the physics will make your brain hurt.

Ok, I stand corrected. Turns out the science errors aren't quite as egregious as I'd feared they would be.

He does give spoilers, though, so be warned.
