Q: Did silent film actors actually say their lines when being filmed or did they simply improvise ‘“dialogue” when being filmed?

JakeGouldBeen watching some old Buster Keaton films. And—of course with silent films—there are title cards that convey setting, place and even show lines being said by the characters on the screen. But often it seems like actors are saying more lines than the title cards seem to convey that they are sayi...

01:35
I certainly wouldn't have expected to film to play that much with its historical background, though.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ curiosity mate.. that's what get us going
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ uncle ben is the only one who's dead at marvel. so there's that
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ why would batman fight anyone? why did he fight superman? why would he fight martian manhunter? why would he fight oliver queen? questions has answers itself bruv.. simple as that
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ picked up when lurking most of the day I guess, eh? ;)
AJ: sings about mole
Mole Man: ooh, someone has a crush on me, crush on me, crush on me,
@Vishwa even superman's super father csme back so Uncle ben one day will
@AnkitSharma i'm not holding my breath though... uncle ben is the one constant factor in comical world.. it's significant and unique...
Superman Birth parents also but father did come back for a time being

@Vishwa BvS is BS. If you're a believer in Nolan's Batman, that is.
@Vishwa P.S. IRL people don't make a scene to entertain others. If they can talk, they will.
Someone who goes "oh no that guy looks menacing. Kill first, ask later" is probably not a hero.
Kinda a psychopath, if you ask me.
06:16
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I'm hella lot in love with Nolan's batman than BvS, but BvS is a great movie if you give a little thought on it. it has a deep meaning. I'm not talking about both Mom's being named Martha and everything is hanged on it. but trust me, it has a deeper meaning... check it when you get a free time
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ do you think anyone I mentioned, will surrender to the bat and talk peacefully? under Bat's utter control? no, egos will collide and they'll fight at first, then they understand each other's motivations and finds a way to deal with them together. that's basic comic hero character behavior bruv..
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ if you have lived in Gotham since birth, you'll be doing the same. if you wanted to protect that bloody awful city, you have to be extra careful... PS. Bat is not considered as a pure white (pun intended, white ;) ), but somewhat anti-hero. like wolverine
06:39
@Vishwa "Trust me, it has a deeper meaning" has been Snyder's maxim for oh so long. His stuff suffers from poor execution, but his ideas are also . . . wannabe dark and goth and zomg I realism.
@Vishwa Is "comic" supposed to be a synonym for "unrealistic"? Looking up a dictionary
@Vishwa Batman is portrayed as a grey character, sure, but he also wanders deep in ideas about what he can do if he wants to call himself a hero and what he can't. It should be pretty established that trying to kill someone who just thwarted a superior alien race's plan to commit mass genocide just because they incurred some mayhem along the way, and causing more mayhem for this utterly avoidable fight, is not Batman.
More Deadpool, really. But even Wade Wilson has semblance of a code.
That said, DO YOU BLEEEEEEEED.
07:05
@MovieReel correct me if i'm wrong but weren't "silent films" back then a result of a lack of technology to record audio, which was why there was a pianist playing at the same time
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ *stabs self*......nope *looks at yuri. nose explodes in a fountain of blood*
@Memor-X Or rather, incorporating it into motion picture, no?
@Memor-X I don't know how that's related though, I always thought they just do that to look normal and the title cards can't because they're not essays.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ well from my little understanding when motion picture began it was just the basic principle of rapid changing of still images so when they started having "dialog" or onomatopoeia they had to edit in cards because they had no way to capture sound
ofcause when i think of silent film i think Charlie Chaplin
Well me too
I'm just saying there was probably some way to record sound, but no way to incorporate it into the motion picture
One way to find out
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I dunno about Zack mate, but I like darker tones. and I still think BvS has deeper meaning. i said trust me just because I said it, not because Zack said it somewhere, I dunno if he did at all
So a couple of years after cars, and eight years before motion picture
07:16
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ that, I can't help you with mate... sorry
@Vishwa And what I'm saying is, if you look a little bit more closely, you'll see it's merely an illusion of a deep hidden message and really, it's just a hollow husk.
It's like a nihilist trying to make a movie about appreciating life.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ at daytime, no. at night, almost everyday ;)
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ that's the deeper thing we've to got to understand bruv
@Vishwa whoa, are you also a vigilante who beats up criminals
@Memor-X I always laugh when someone says pianist
@Vishwa That the B in BvS is a fake?

Q: RIP Rutger Hauer, actor for Roy Batty

ThunderforgeVariety reports that Rutger Hauer, actor in Sin City, Batman Begins, True Blood, and other sci-fi and horror films, has died at 75. He will perhaps be best remembered for his role in Blade Runner as Roy Batty, a Replicant hunted by Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford). During his final moments, he gives...

Aw :(
I think he finally got the memo
\o @Tink
07:27
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I read somewhere that BvS has huge connection with christian bible. not sure when I read it. but I always try to see some different angle in everything, even though that's not what director intended it to be
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I didn't see this, so I won't have to answer ;)
@Vishwa A lot of very dumb works (not just movies) are based on or inspired by much more beautiful things. It doesn't automatically make them good.
Calm down atheists. I think we can agree The Bible is at least a very beautiful piece of writing.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ of course not. but I never expected BvS to be similar (tone, casting, story anything at all) similar nor remotely close to MCU.
@Vishwa Wha, I would never want it to be.
The two are orthogonal to each other.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ same. so that's why I watched it with empty jar of a mind. if you do the same, then maybe you'll see what I saw
I want Batman movies to revel in philosophies and be an abstract, high form of thought-provoking cinema.
07:30
anyway how one can spell your name? is it Mar or Maroo or something else?
But Snidy snide's work is just not it.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ bring back Nolan?
@Vishwa It's just my initials. MAR would do. MA would do.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ not only the director mate. screenplay, casting, etc etc... all are responsible to that
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ :)
@Vishwa If he would accept it, which I doubt he would. He's on a soul-searching journey to become a Kubrick, while also maybe rake some money and not be broke.
@Vishwa And yet being directed by Snyder and a poor attempt at resembling higher meaning, while not having any, seem to be correlated.
07:34
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ may be... my fav. on casting so far was Bale. Keaton was okay but when I see it now, feels bit weird. not gonna talk about Clooney, nor Kilmer
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ you really dislike Snyder eh? :)
I don't know the guy. He just gave me reasons to dislike him.
His best movie, Watchmen, has a few glaring facepalm-y scenes, and later movies leave no doubt those are his original work, and the better parts are adapting other directors' good work.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ o/
Wow so much to read, what did I missed
Just @M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ 's rant and @Vishwa 's counter-rant
Oh but of course your writing is perfection eye roll

I have a vacation now though, so there's time to chat here too :)
@Tinkeringbell been there but I am sure IPS is different thign then my experince :D
@Tinkeringbell Wow great
@AnkitSharma Hmmm. I don't know. I think the chatroom is nice, the questions and answers we get can still use some work :) Not having 5 posts simultaneously in HNQ helps a lot though :)
@AnkitSharma Is that sarcasm?

@Tinkeringbell not in any way.
@Tinkeringbell yeah IPS used to be easy bet for wintebash too due to HNQ
Yeah, I hope this year's winterbash is going to be more quiet :D

@AnkitSharma Of course it is, but let's not delve further into this, please.
@NapoleonWilson I think, to conform to the norm, your next message should be in German
Multilinguals are awesome
@NapoleonWilson BTW, do you have any tip of learning noun genders and articles? I realize it's one of those things that people that commonly use it don't have much of a problem with it nor care, but it's giving me a big learner's block here
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Experience. ;-)

I doubt there's much of a rule to it, I'm afraid.
Yeah I figured that much

Had that recently, too. Of course from a super easy and fast answer to a famous pop-culture film.
Meanwhile my excellent historical analysis answer sits in the rain lonely. :'(
@NapoleonWilson where is it? I'd kill for some good movie analysis rather than "omg taranito is lame" especially recently
Oh, people don't like the new one?
I haven't heard much about it yet.
The opinions on Hateful 8 were already mixed, though.
@NapoleonWilson Well, being the controversial guy that he is, everyone is all like "I get this Bruce isn't supposed to be realistic, but OMG HOW COULD YOU". Like, stop contradicting yourselves right in the sentence, please.
Bruce Lee, I mean
Oh my.
Noone complained when he gunned down Hitler. ;-)
Also, even as a non-expert on Tarantino I'm pretty sure he's a big fan of Bruce Lee anyway.
12:40
@NapoleonWilson IKR.
@NapoleonWilson The same people already acknowledge that by his tribute in the Kill Bill movies.
I mean the guy is utterly crazy for genre cinema, especially the 70s'.

Awesome. A good question about a movie I haven't watched
I appreciated the question very much. While the film was already interesting anyway, knowing about the question probably sensitized me more to pay attention to the historical context and its connection to the film.
(Not that naked ballerinas bathing in blood weren't already worth it.) ;-)
Though, while the historical context of the remake is interesting, the original had a lot more surreal (and maybe naive) appeal.

Napoleon WilsonThe 2018 version of Suspiria has Tilda Swinton not only play Madame Blanc, but also Mother Markos and, more prominently, Dr. Klemperer.
