The New World

[RegularKarate]

This is the PERFECT movie to initiate this in, THANKS JAPAN!

if malick had anything to do with the creation of the smell, it's one thing, but if it's whoever created the technology forcing his fragrant interpretation of the movie onto the audience, that's another.

I forgot to post this a few weeks ago, but here's an early draft of Malick's script for The New World.

I've only skimmed it so far, but it's interesting to see how dense his screenwriting is, and to imagine how it serves as an outline for the eventual film. A lot of the script is made up of the sort of descriptive passages you'd find in novels - the sort of thing that would make any Robert McKee tear his hair out.

I also like how he includes alternate endings.

Wow, I've never seen a 60-minute making-of that features not a frame of the writer-director.  Looking forward to it.

How true this is.  I wonder if the making-of cameras ever accidentally caught a smidgen of Malick.

[picolas]

in my eyes, the new world is his best film.

why?

malick has raised the bar even higher with this film.

how?

Just in case anyone here was planning on going out of their way to get this, it's just a slip cover over the original box and they even put that goddamn price sticker on it.

Ha Ha.  How true this is.  I was thinking about that as I was standing in line waiting to purchase it. 

[modage]

yea okay, so tell me again why we're talking about this movie?

[pete]

dude, voicing your dissatisfaction towards a movie is one thing, chiming in every other page just to shit on other people's delight is another.

[meatwad]

for anybody who watched the making of doc, was i seeing things, or did Emmanuel Lubezki   answer his cell phone in the middle of a shot?

[analogzombie]

you are correct sir, he sure did.

after watching the doc I was amazed by how completely hilarious all the LA people were trying to deal with normal Virginia weather. Listening to them you'd have thought they were making Apocalypse Now. Very boring doc all together.

Nice film tho.
