I hate how people are so quick on Gofobo. I never get to enter the code or find it or get to enter a drawing. People are so damn quick. 

[K1stpierre]

I'm predicting a bit higher, 38/115 for now. Might go higher. Don't want to get too crazy.

I heard that the Gofobo screening today ended up having people turned back again. They should seriously not keep Open screenings. Screenings which you need to RSVP for have much smaller crowds and everyone has a chance of getting in leading to good sentiments.

 

They didn't even offer a keychain or something to thank people for waiting in live for over 2 hours. Even "Olympus has Fallen" offered keychains

Well a friend and his wife were going to go see Sweeney Todd of a screening that a radio station was doing.

The station sold 700 tickets....for a 250 seater.

Is that how you almost got to go and got tickets for a later showing on?

Yup, a lot of pre-screening organizers feel pretty bad when they have to turn people back, so they try to get people into future screenings.

Not to be hyperbolic, but Alfonso Cuarón's #Gravity may be the best film I've seen since starting /Film almost a decade ago.

 

Can't. Deal. With. This. Hype.

It should be best space film, right?

I never check Gofobo. I go to advancescreenings.com or this group http://www.txtmovieclub.com/group/californiaextrapasses where people post RSVP codes and latest screenings.

That's a bit hyperbolic. It has a mild stumble or two in terms of drama and/or character, very much rooted in classic Hollywood melodrama. However, as spectacle, it has no equal in recent memory. Don't expect any subtle, revealing character study, I guess. It's not science-fiction-as-metaphor, it's an action/thriller. Edited September 16, 2013 by Telemachos

Have you seen Gravity already Tele?

Have you seen Gravity already Tele?

 

Yes, I saw it this afternoon.

[The Stingray]

I heard someone describe it as Speed in space. Accurate description?

[Jandrew]

Yes, I saw it this afternoon.

 

Well I've asked this question a couple times, but no answer...I love astronomy and I know theres no sound in space, and Rallax said all the sounds you hear in the trailer arent actually in the movie, so I assume hes seen it..is that true though? Is this basically a silent film when Sandra isnt huffing and screaming?

That's not entirely off-base. There's definitely the same sense of it being one giant extended action/thriller sequence that never fully lets up.

Yes... and no. In terms of being scientifically accurate, absolutely: in the movie, you do not hear explosions or things zipping by or anything like that. However, the genius of the sound design is that you hear basically what the astronauts would pick up on their microphones; your body is a conduit for sound, to some degree. So when they're physically holding onto something metal (say, while unscrewing a panel to inspect a circuit board), you hear a dim, muffled version of that sound. But any event that happens in vacuum without any way for the sound waves to travel is silent. Both instances are used to great dramatic effect.

I figured any sound would be through their helmets/suits so that sounds great, and cool that theyre staying scientifically accurate. Very intrigued, comes out a day before my birthday so im excited. Thanks T.

btw, I noticed that WB has released several clips, there's an extended trailer, etc. If you haven't seen these.... DON'T WATCH THEM. This is a movie where your experience will be significantly heightened the less you've seen visually. And I know I mentioned it in passing easier, but find the biggest goddamn screen to see it on. This is a movie that will be one hellaciously awesome experience in IMAX.
