Weird and quite jarring to see modern trailer sensibilities applied to a film made in a totally different era and with a very different visual aesthetic to what is around today. Anybody actually think this works? You couldn't find a thread called "Close Encounters of the Third Kind Theatrical Re-release trailer"? http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27524-close-encounters-of-the-third-kind-theatrical-re-release-trailer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,369 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It works perfectly fine. The only reason people thinks it doesn't is they forget to click "in content titles only". Surely a smart man like yourself can remember to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Jason, can you see if you can find my It Follows review I posted on here using the search engine? While you're at it, see if you can find any mention of that film on this board anywhere, using the search engine. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 On 8/1/2015 at 2:13 PM, Quintus said: I watched it a couple of months back, a good little thriller with a strong and precise subtext. Can't remember whether or not I mentioned I'd watched it here at the time. On 10/2/2015 at 0:58 PM, Quintus said: I really enjoyed It Follows, it felt nice and indie. The suspense was effective of course, but it is the precise subtext which makes it. I'd call it the opposite of stupid. On 10/2/2015 at 1:13 PM, Quintus said: The climatic swimming pool sequence let it down. Suddenly the vague but dangerous threat became just another stalking monster. But I forgave the film for that little stumble. On 11/1/2015 at 7:15 PM, Quintus said: I thought it only really went wrong at the swimming pool part. It was actually a good sequence in itself, but ultimately the mystery was lessened quite a lot by what basically seemed like an invisible monster. An invisible Kevin Bacon could just have easily been in that scene. For me, the most successful think about It Follows is its expertly treated subtext.

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Thanks for highlighting that, Koray. That's all I see too. There's another film title I've struggled with on this site too, but I forget its name now. The search engine refuses to find it. Jason was attempting to be smart-arse with his presentation above, but Koray undermined it thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 No, in my posts above, I was talking about when you want to search for threads where you know a word in the thread's title. IE, I just found this month-old CE3K trailer, let me see if there's a thread about it by searching "encounters" in thread titles only. I wasn't talking about searching for specific posts within threads, that's a slightly different way of using the search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,537 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The climactic scene in IT FOLLOWS had a beautifully-lit swimming pool, and a sexy young woman, in wet Spandex. What the Hell's not to like?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmm 91 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Aronofsky has always been a master of ratcheting up the tension. Even with the overt similarities with Black Swan I trust him to cook up something diabolical. Jennifer Lawrence is overexposed though... she's just everywhere. Although I doubt it would matter much when actually watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Credit to her, she was very good in Winter's Bone, but I did not like the film much. The original Hunger Games movie and X-Men are the only other things I've seen Lawrence in. Is she really overrated though? I don't know, she's a movie star.
