That's a really nice looking one.
Thing I've notice with copilot: no matter the movie title, it insists on setting something on fire.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 11:07:41 AMI also recall liking SOCIETY's theme song and I agree that CLOSE ENCOUNTERS evokes the fever of peak Herzog. Definitely among the top 5 Spielbergs for me.
JEANNE D'ARC [JOAN OF ARC] (1900):
Georges Melies beat Dreyer to the punch by 28 years w/ what appears to be the first Joan biopic. It's 11 minutes, not a feature, but it's in color - actually in color originally, not colorized later. Melies couldn't photograph it in color of course so his team hand-colored each frame. Clearly this was a labor of love.
We see major tableau from the life of Joan in wide-shot for about 45 seconds each on average. If you know the Joan mythos then you know what's goin' on but sans dialogue or close-ups you lose a lot of the drama of later renditions. Also there's one scene (the Siege of Orleans, I think) that commits one of my pet-peeve film-crimes - staging an epic battle w/ about 10 dudes, including a few who have to be recycled on the opposing side. However, the homemade quality of the sets is oddly charming (instead of off-putting) and the static staging of each tableau likewise predicts the self-conscious pageantry of Peter Greenaway or Roy Andersson (or Wes Anderson for that matter). That's kinda' cool.
3/5 Joan is played by "Jeanne Calvaire", which seems like an impossible pseudonym. Her mother is played by "Jehanne d'Alcy", which sounds like an even faker name in a Jeanne d'Arc movie, but apparently she appeared in a lot of Melies' films. Melies' himself Hitchcocks as Joan's dad.

Off Topic Discussion / Re: World Cup?
Last post by Alex - Today at 08:16:45 AMI heard that's Scotland out of the contest. It looked like it was fun while it lasted. I don't know if any of the other home nations beyond England are still in, although if they are based on their results so far I can't see them going on to win it. Letting in two goals in the first game, and then drawing in their second makes me think they just aren't good enough.
I've not heard anything about what nations are looking strong and are in the favourites pool. I'd imagine its the usual suspects though and it will come down to a European or South American team. I've agreed to support a friends national team since Scotland is out, although since I only know them online and I don't know what country they are actually from I do not know who I am actually giving my fairly tepid at best support to.
