Good morning, good morning. How art thou today?
June 21st birthed Summer; let’s go out to play.
I’m duly on break from my collegiate affair
and confess that I’m rarely without a movie in my hair.
Not a man’s fingers or an offspring humdinger but hear me when I speak,
I have been averaging for the last 3-months about 3 movies a week.
Yes-yes! Ol’ AMC Theaters is getting a pretty fair cut.
I used to court Harkins until I joined AMC Stubs.
Yeah. It’s just a loyalty click with a roped-line appeal
and their awesome full body recliners have an “at home” feel.
Anywho, between me and you, I’m likely going to see another movie today.
I’ve seen AVENGERS, SUPERFLY, DEAD POOL, UNCLE DREW and a few more via satellite play.
So, yesterday I saw a satellite run of the film EXPOSED on SYFY tv,
starring The MATRIX’s Neo; ol’ Keanu Reeves.
The director of the film is credited as a man named Declan Dale,
after Gee Malik Linton filmed his vision and producers in editing shot it to hell.
Yes. It appears producers are “known for” pulling a PROUD MARY; also known as “puzzle-editing” after the shoots.
I always reference PROUD MARY to make a point about movies made at the miscalculation of loot.
It was clear to me as I sat in AMC to watch the debut of PROUD MARY,
that the acting talent was great, but none, in particular, seem to be able to carry
the films expected reputation.
Producers unintentionally invoke degradation
when they plan to reign over sequence play
after the film has been shot via the editing bay.
I remember the writers of BLAIR WITCH having been under a terrible strain,
regardless of their film concept – the producer’s financial grip was a pain.
The producers withheld crew pay just a little bit
until writers bent in creativity and yielded to their will.
The writers did bend to feed their family’s – ’tis true.
At the risk of the entertainment experience of me and you.
There was no sequel; no part two.
The film EXPOSED pull something like a Blair Witch Deux.
After hiring Linton to envision the script and film the tale
producers, in editing, rearranged the sequence of scenes;
forcing Linton to create the pseudonym: Declan Dale.
Now, why is this important? Once the artistic view is reeled who will protect her?
The vision of most scripts aren’t the writer’s dib but yielded to the director.
So unless the writer is the director and the producer too,
it is likely (and pretty darn highly) they’ll be vulnerable to the producer’s hue.
The producers have the money, honey!
Pockets so deep they risk swallowing creativity.
The best producers are artists and writers with financial fluid.
Either way, if big money is at play…
Rearranging a director’s view? The producer will do it.
It’s how the business works. Besides, producers are mostly known
for having a good gut feeling of what the people want reeling.
Producers co-sign and finance – if a film is to be shown.
So why then did producers change up the view of EXPOSED?
The original title was DAUGHTER OF GOD, so God only knows.
The film seemed to be presented as a composition of two different stories
with Spanish subtitles and a mass request to believe in conceptual glory.
I bit on the subtitle reading and I’m a believer in glory,
regardless of the re-arrangement of scenes in editing, I still enjoyed the story.
Though I hated to hear about how Declan Dale came to be a credited pseudonym name.
I suppose the timing is perfect to get an understanding; I’m studying the science of the game.
I’m a student of film; not a day goes by that I don’t see several flicks,
I’m Qui
Timing this Tuesday with thee to be reflective of a Digital Cinematography chick.
She is me and my movie viewing log is thick.
The first film today starts at 11:30. Wouldst thou come with?
By 5pm, the two of us could have at least 2 films in.
