Man, this was a real, old school FILM. Wonderful shifts in tone to keep you from feeling like you’re just sitting through a history lesson. As you’d expect, that great cast delivered.

The kid who played the con man hooker on White Lotus was surprisingly good.

Man, John Carter was done so dirty. That movie could have made gobs of money if marketed well.

The salt in the wound is this list coming out now, while Avatar is #1 at the Box Office. A franchise completely built on the premise of the John Carter of Mars books.

Not watching that either, but I remember that when Life of Pi came out it was revealed that the bidding wars between CGI companies reduced their industry to making effects almost at cost. The company that created the effects for Life of Pi won a ton of awards as they had to close their doors and go out of business.

John Carter is better than all of those other films combined. While the marketing was the biggest culprit in its downfall, the feeding frenzy of the press and moviegoers who couldn't wait to celebrate it as being a "bomb" (before any of them had seen it) is still keeping it from getting an audience (as seen in this thread).

How do the bank examiner, sheriff or whatever he was, and newspaper people get in their house? Mary's gone and is surprised by their presence when she get back. Their children are upstairs. How'd they get in?

People didn’t use to lock their doors. Up until the late 60’s, we didn’t always lock our doors during the day, left our cars unlocked, would leave the doors to our house unlocked at night until everyone was home.

Very well executed, especially when the films are intercut to show similar themes and intensity. Not a lot new here, but the murderer's row of films coming out is amazing. (Cazale's Godfather II, The Conversation, and Dog Day Afternoon were all in the theaters that year.)

Patton Oswalt and Seth Rogen aren't in it that much, but it still irks me to see guys that weren't around explaining 1975 to me. So many older artists still around to interview that were a part of that film movement. Patton Oswalt doesn't have to be in every documentary. Give him a rest.

For those that hate that the Oscars are now too political, the clips from the 1975 Academy Awards are insane. The old guard versus the young film makers going after each other on stage.
