Author Topic: Phil Hills house obliterated in 10.5 Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-04-2004 09:05 PM                     Did anyone catch that happenning in 10.5 last night? It occured at the point when the camera did a "Zoom in tight, then quickly zoom back, then zoom back in a bit" sequence. I saw it and Phil slide slide down into the fault. Man....... Was that the worst film ever made or what?

The movie was shot by people who grew up watching MTV and have never used a camera before. Expect an Emmy.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-04-2004 09:39 PM                  Mark! Oh, PULEEZE! I'm still here... waiting for the "big one"... Earthquake that is! I agree that show has to be THE worst POS I have ever seen! I cannot stand one more neck-jerk zoom! It reminded me of the 12 y/o kid with his brand-new 8mm camera back in the 60's! ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM! In N Out...and I don't mean the hamburger! I think the 1974 "Earthquake" was MUCH better as well as "Volcano" from a few years ago. The powers at NBC and the producers of that POS should be bitch-slapped for the POS they aired! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

I had planned on watching 10.5 (we've been plugging it on the 2wenty for some time), however something came up. Now I'm glad I didn't waste time watching this.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-04-2004 10:15 PM                     Supposedly a real 10.5 is slated to happen around September.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

The zoom routine was very aggravating since it was done with the look of an experienced IATSE union camera operator "trying" to look amatuer or docu like The operatic slo mo with the "Greek Chorus" soundtrack in the refugee camp earthquake was too funny to be serious ...Guest stars " Connie and Carla " doing some show tunes in the refugee camp would of help  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-04-2004 10:48 PM                        quote: Mike HeeNan wrote: Supposedly a real 10.5 is slated to happen around September.

During the earthquake, everyone is running away. FROM WHAT? WHERE ARE THEY GOING? can you run away from an earthquake? Did they all know where the ground was going to open up at? If they did why the hell would they put a refugee camp there? I've never lived in california, but I would assume when an earthquake begins, people stay away from falling objects, and take cover... not run around in a frenzy. Maybe one of you Californian F-T'rs can shed some light on this.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

Eathquakes are highly over dramatized in movies. So the ground shakes a bit. Who cares? Eathquakes don't kill people. Poorly constructed buildings kill people.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 05-05-2004 01:48 AM                        What with all the earthquake-retrofit projects and construction standards in California now, I imagine it would take quite a series of rumbles to be anywhere near disastrous. But as I understand it, earthquakes don't happen in "series" anyway. Sure there are aftershocks, but they don't tend to occur in patterns such as those depicted in 10.5. I've been seeing its spots on the 2Wenty as well, although I was nowhere near impressed enough to watch it. Ooh, ah, disaster movie, monuements being destroyed ... it was old in Independence Day (what I remember as what started it all) and it was still old in The Core ... and now, on television, hey, guess what ... IT'S STILL OLD!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-05-2004 05:25 AM                        I like how they spell it the "2wenty". It makes it hip and cool and makes me want to watch it and also makes me think Regal is hip, cool, and "with it"!!!! Go Regal!  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-05-2004 01:22 PM                     ....and it will be old "The Day After Tomorrow." =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

Where is that? I want more remakes... and more disaster movies. And more disasterous remakes.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-05-2004 06:36 PM                     Personally the best disaster movie was the one that was on the screen in the movie "Drive In"  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-05-2004 07:26 PM                     My favorite disaster movie is THE BIG BUS, with the worlds greatest piano bar musician, Tommy Joyce. That run from New York to Denver has always been a tough one. Only the older among us will truly understand the Bicentennial Dining Room.  |  IP: Logged
