I just rewatched “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and one aspect I really liked about it was the way Ferris and Sloane’s relationship was portrayed. None of the conflict of the movie was about them as a couple, then being a couple wasn’t the focus of the movie, just a feature of it. I feel like I haven’t seen many movies involving teens and relationships that isn’t about two characters getting together or facing conflict in the relationship. The way they were with each other at the end of the movie is the same as they were in the beginning, and I think that’s kind of refreshing to see. Are there other movies with similar relationships between main characters like this?

Hey Reddit! Director Joshua Caldwell here. My new film MENDING THE LINE, starring Brian Cox, Sinqua Walls, Perry Mattfeld, Wes Studi, and Patricia Heaton) was the #1 film on Netflix last week in the US and hit #10 on the Global Top Ten. Which is amazing for a little drama about PTSD and Fly Fishing!

I’m excited to chat about MENDING THE LINE or anything else you’d like to know about me, my career, fly fishing, working with Brian Cox, etc. Ask me anything!

Trailer:

I’ve heard anywhere from “she was THE it-girl of the day” to “she was virtually unknown”. I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle.Who would be a good present day star to compare her notoriety to?

Anyone interested there’s a 10 part podcast about Manson’s ties to Hollywood called “You Must Remember This”. Well…Manson is one subject. The entirety of the podcast is about different aspects of Old Hollywood.

I just don’t understand the economy behind a movie like this. $200m budget, big, famous/popular cast and the movie just ends up being extremely terrible, and a massive flop

What’s the deal behind movies like this, do they just spend all their money on everything besides directing/writing? Is this something where “executives” mangle the movie into some weird, terrible thing? I just don’t see how anything with a TWO HUNDRED MILLION dollar budget turns out just straight terribly bad

Also just read about the director who has made other great movies, including the Kingsmen films which seems like what Argyle was trying to be, so I’m even more confused how it missed the mark so much

So, bear with me through this cause I have no clue what's goin' on here.

I spent some time in the slammer last year and eventually Tremors came on the television. But it was super old, like older than the original Tremors and it didn't have Kevin Bacon or the other dude in it.

But it wasn't any of the more modern ones to my knowledge because it only had the classic Digger Tremor Monster, none of the walking or flying ones.

We came in about 2/3's through so all I can really comment on was the typical Tremors behavior. Staying up on stuff and eventually getting tactical. (Oh, just remembered there was a part where they used an old cannon in town I think?)

For some reason I can't remember most of the bit I saw at this point but at the very end, the town bought a minigun for like, the town's newest badass resident. Which I feel like was the dude who later on in the movies bunker'd up and made shit happen.

As for the plot itself, at the end, there was a lot of talk of (I think) a Gold Mine in the town?

And that they wanted to keep the Tremors Monsters a secret in order to preserve the town's standing.

I think the implication was that the mining was what woke up the creatures in this instance?

If anyone has any clue what the heck I watched, I'd hugely appreciate the say so, lol.

I tried looking this up and came up so empty and clueless, lol.

What sequels come to mind that feel so incredibly different aesthetically from their predecessors?

Batman Forever seems to be one of the biggest ones that comes to mind. It's almost not a sequel at all except for some small references, but it was marketed as a follow-up.

Hellboy 2 was still a clear follow-up but also felt quite different and much more fantasy driven.

Aliens is far more of an action film than a horror/thriller film like the first.

Are there others that come to mind?

Was browsin’ Reddit this morning and skimmed over a comment about Forest Gump, which lead to me remembering how my old Dad STILL hasn’t seen it…

I saw Forest Gump twice a kid in the 90s, but my Dad still hasn’t seen it but has mentioned it on and off for 25 years how he wanted to see it because it was on a written list of recommendations.

So I texted him and joked about it being on his bucket list, so he’s going to come watch it with me Wednesday night.

Really why is this necessary and why is it such a habitual practice? Most movies do this anymore but Abigail has to be one of the worst offenders in recent memory. Like even if I was interested(I wasnt) I would feel none or very little need to watch it now. It literally makes no sense. The example I've given is basically reduced down to the methods by which everyone will die. It's that laid out already. Genuinely don't understand why almost everyone does this.

Coming in with only seeing the first thirty seconds or so of the first trailer, I came out pleasantly surprised by the end of this movie. I haven't seen a movie (at least of knowledge recently) that tackled "memes" in the sense of information and ideas rather than just Internet pictures. The way I took it was that Cages' character is a normal bloke and the story shows what celebrity and the want to be known by the masses could affect a person and how they are perceived, and ultimately remembered. Seeing him start as this truly average, non confrontational, and forgettable person really helps that radical turn in the dreams of the victims. Someone who doesn't really strive to do anything "important" in their life and ultimately just wants to go forward with no real deviations will have nothing really to pass on really so of course these people's dreams have him just being there. He's just observing, living, and not really concerning himself with anything that would cause him be bothered by them. He of course has a wife, two kids, and a job, but doesn't seem to see the importance and all those things start to fade farther. It's not until his thoughts and intentions start to waiver that the dreams escalate, and the way he is being perceived changes. Unbeknownst to him (arguably), he is changing the way people are viewing him, and in turn changing the information he is inevitably "passing down" to others about him. What he'll really be remembered for is tainted and terrible version of himself. While some of these choices and circumstances are not of his control, his lack of care and his choices feed into fueling the dangerous "memes." This is all off the cuff, but seeing what ultimately happens to the character really shows the danger of misinformation, celebrity, assumptions, and toxic culture. A meme in and of itself isn't dangerous, but the information on display is. Also be aware of yourself and your surroundings, since could need is right in front of you, and you should be reinforcing and building that.

That can be something that changes the entire subject of the documentary mid-filming or just something within the subject of the documentary that brings something new to it.

Examples I've already seen include

The Alpinist (2021): The climber that's being filmed for the documentary dies because of an avalanche during post-production.

Into the Deep (2020): The person that's being filmed for the documentary because of their inventions and ambitions is involved in a murder during filming.

I'm looking for some interesting documentaries, no matter what they're about.

Thanks in advance.

In power fantasy movies the viewer typically gets to see the self-insert character be or become important, powerful, and useful. Also successful in life.

I imagine in a "weak reality" movie, the main character would be some version of unimportant, weak, and useless. Unsuccessful in life in various ways.

Any movies like that?

For me it was One Day (Anne Hathoway and Jim Sturges). I was 18 when it came out, and a film that depicted too young people discovering adulthood is messy, disillusioned and flawed was the last thing I wanted to see. I hated it intensely, finding it pointless, depressing and unnecessary.

Now that I'm in my 30s and have lived my own messy, disillusioned and flawed life, I have a great deal more appreciation for it. It definitely has its flaws, but it it honest and has a clear message I hadn't wanted to hear before.

It's fascinating to revisit older movies like "Hackers" (1995) and see how they depicted the internet and technology from that era. I especially love their excitement over a 28.8bps modem which of course highlights how much things have evolved since then.

There are many 'errors' which one is your favourite moment of "hi-tech"

What are your thoughts on this film starring Tom Cruise? It's going to be almost 20 years since it's release, and I felt it's one of those films that just faded from everyone's consciousness. Many people felt the ending was rushed, but I believe it ends the same way in the HG Wells novel too. What are your thoughts from this Steven Spielberg film?

Are there movies you remember loving years ago but are afraid won’t hold up? Or alternatively movies you were excited to rewatch and we’re disappointed with how poorly it aged?

A movie I think about a lot is Sugar & Spice, which I loved when it first came out and watched a bunch. But I’m afraid it won’t be enjoyable to revisit and should just remain a fun teenage movie in my mind.
