The single greatest SHOT ever...?

[Alex Boothby]

Brando would never have made that jump across the rooftop. And his fingers were to fat to break.

what if tarkovsky had made bladerunner with brando

I think Tarkovsky and Brando would have made for an extraordinary collaboration.....but not for the film Blade Runner.

Tarkovsky is the master of mis en scene. He holds on a single shot like there were no tomorrow.

Brando loves the camera, he prefers a long, grueling performance shot.

Blade Runner would be a completely different film than the Blade Runner I know and love.

If there were any films tailor made for Tarkovsky's style they would be those of Akira Kurosawa's. I think he would blend in perfectly Kurosawa's love for the wide shot and performance pieces.

The Third Man, what kind of server do you have to be able to host all these clips?

Tom, nothing special, it is a very old computer Apple G3 upgraded to G4 running also an old version of Apple Mac OS X Server version 10.3.9.
BUT it's a ROCK STEADY SERVER on a cable/broadband connection. That's it.

And more Tarkovsky examples coming soon!!!
Stay tuned.

This makes sense: Tarkovsky was, incidentally, a huge admirer of Kurosawa and his work. You can read a number of things he wrote about Kurosawa and his films in Sculpting in Time, his book about filmmaking (which is about as good a book on the subject of filmmaking as has been written; highly recommended for those who haven't read it yet).

or van helsing with eddie murphy

Imagine Stanley Kubrick's version of "Home Alone" or other inappropriate director / feature combinations, like Tarkovsky's "Happy Gilmore"... or Michael Bay's "Tokyo Story"...

Anyone remember SCTV's skit of a Jerry Lewis / Ingmar Bergman collaboration called "Scenes from an Idiot's Marriage"?
