WATERWORLD ~ What Was So Wrong With This Film?

[ more ]

Films Found - Trashed by critics and box office sales, bad publicity or just plain negative non-trendy, knee-jerk reaction; some of the best Films Found for me, have come from society's ‘reject bin.’

Films Found - May 2008

Filmsfound Observation : 101

May 7th 2008 08:46

Lately, as I re-watched my way through the maze of vibrant 20th century movies (and sitcoms), something soon became more and more apparent to me the more I watched, to the point of distraction … and now alas, I cannot avoid ‘seeing’ this anomaly no matter how hard I try to pretend I am not noticing it.

I am talking about props ... specifically, cups and the fact that they very rarely contain any fluid at all, no matter the scene, actor or director?

Take a closer look and you’ll see the acting involved each time a mouthful of invisible java juice is “savoured,” but trust me, those on-screen cups are empty, even when propy-biscuits are tastefully dunked to expose on-screen tea-totallers. And keep a special watch on the take-away containers ... so easy to see they are too light.

Perhaps would be orbleactors (and over-reactors *giggle*) … should think about acquiring and listing this 'drinking skill' on their CV’s, when contemplating a life in the movies.

As for all you budding script writers, it strikes me that it is a key feature of any scene these days, easily replacing the lighting up of a cigarette as the ‘substance of preference’ for the new Millennium.
