Fans of Jurassic Park Should Watch This Forgotten Christian Bale ... - MovieWeb

In the world of large scary animals, dinosaurs are very much at the top of the list. This was proven in the 1993 smash hit Jurassic Park . The film left an indelible mark on the industry with fascinating special effects and realistic beasts. But another movie showed up years later, attempting to cash in on the giant scary lizard film. That film was 2002's epic dragon film, Reign of Fire . The Legacy of Jurassic Park Universal Pictures When Jurassic Park hit theaters, it wasn't a hit. It was a mega-crazy, ultra-industry-melting hit. Its use of ILM's creative teams and new types of technical know-how made for one of the most visually realistic monster movies of all time. Gone were the days of Ray Harryhausen and his stop-motion creations. In one instant, nearly the entire special effects industry was thrown into disarray. Not just that, but the storytelling was something people wanted to see. The film was based on the book by Micha...

8. Hoping to find a comedy star to voice Mulan's fast-talking dragon sidekick Mushu similar to Aladdin casting Robin Williams  as Genie, the filmmakers considered Joe Pesci, Steve Martin and Sinbad for the role before Eddie Murphy signed on.  9. However, Murphy almost passed on the movie when he was initially asked to do his recordings for the voice of Mushu in an actual studio. "We can record it in my basement," Murphy recalled telling Disney in a interview with The Chicago Sun-Times . Ultimately, Murphy recorded his part at his home in Englewood, New Jersey. 10. Mushu had his own song in the initial script, but the tune was scrapped after Murphy was cast, according to lyricist David Zippel . "We wrote three different versions of it," Zippel told  Entertainment Weekly . "But that's because we didn't understand at that point that it wasn't that [Eddie Murphy] wasn't liking our son...

Watch the Oldest Japanese Anime Film, Jun'ichi Kōuchi's The Dull ... - Open Culture

Image
[embedded content] In 1981, the philosopher Mary Midgley argued against cultural relativism in an article titled "Trying Out One's New Sword." In it, she makes reference to "a verb in classical Japanese which means 'to try out one's new sword on a chance wayfarer.' (The word is tsujigiri , literally 'crossroads-cut.') A samurai sword had to be tried out because, if it was to work properly, it had to slice through someone at a single blow, from the shoulder to the opposite flank. Otherwise, the warrior bungled his stroke. This could injure his honor, offend his ancestors, and even let down his emperor." Those of us who feel unable to condemn this practice due to cultural distance have fallen victim, in Midgley's view, to "moral isolationism." One could object to Midgley's use of this particular example: the historical record doesn't suggest that tsujigiri was ever common practice, and certainly not that ...

The Flash trailer reminds us that Michael Keaton’s Batman is in it - Polygon

Image
If there are any people left on Earth who are not aware that The Flash will have two Batmans in it, and that one of them is played by Michael Keaton, Warner Bros. is hoping to mop them up with its latest trailer — the third this year for the DC movie. We even get a glimpse of one Alfred: the Jeremy Irons one, who patches Ezra Miller's Barry Allen through to Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne at an inopportune moment when he's beset by screaming fans on the street. There'll be few surprises in this trailer if you've been following the marketing blitz for the film. (It's probably felt more like the marketing blitz has been following you.) There are two Barrys, after The Flash goes back in time to try to save his parents, and the multiverse goes all screwy. (Sounds familiar.) There's Sasha Calle as Supergirl, punching through a missile in one particularly cool shot. There's the return of Michael Shannon as an even more evil version of his Zod from Man of Steel ...
