Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies

I guess it depends on your tolerance for collage. by Brody Wilder 03/28/2020, 7:02am PDT In the Golden Age of Hollywood, it wasn't uncommon for people (kids maybe? weird gay guys definitely) to keep scrapbooks full of pictures of movies and their stars clipped out of contemporary periodicals. Before television, those books were more or less the only proof movies existed after they finished their runs and the prints vanished into a vault somewhere. They're still a useful resource for anyone researching classic films. I bet Tarantino would've made great scrapbooks. With Inglourious Basterds, it looks like he started with To Be or Not to Be, then kept pasting bits and pieces of other movies on top until a fun romp about a theatre troupe foiling the Nazis with theatre became a commentary on propaganda movies like To Be or Not to Be itself. And it's still a fun romp! The Joint Security Area pipe that Vested Id posted is a good example, in that it works as a bizarre sight gag on its own, but also ties even modern South Korean political thrillers into the propaganda tapestry. I'm not saying it's art, because to me an art film needs both boobs AND bush, but I still enjoyed it. Even more than Kiss of the Spider Woman, which covered similar thematic ground, but was practically anti-art in its refusal to cough up the babes.
