MovieSnob
A community to discuss, debate, and celebrate the history of cinema, emphasis on—but not exclusively—the groundbreaking, avant garde and experimental, with a healthy dose of irreverence instead of the usual navel-gazing that usually surrounds cineastic appreciation.
Community Rules
-
"All is fair in love and war" but keep it witty or, at minimum, intelligent. If you can't do either, keep walking. This community's administrators will not abide simpletons nor bullies.
-
"Franchise picture" fans and similar ilk, be forewarned: you are open game to be verbally flayed in this public square. Did you not see the name of this community?
-
There ~~may~~ will be occasionally adult subject matter (NSFW)—such is the nature of the beast. While it is not the scope of this community to purvey nor condone extreme or gratuitous sex or violence, neither subjects are necessarily condemned when in context with the subject matter at hand. It is also not the scope of this community to discuss only adult themes; how else could one discuss Fleming's The Wizard of Oz (1939) or Donen/Kelly's Singing In The Rain (1952)?
-
It is suggested you do not subscribe if you are highly sensitive to either subjects.
-
It is strongly suggested that authors of submitted posts mark NSFW content as such. Err on the side of doubt.
- All opinions expressed are strictly of the respective authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the moderators of this community nor the administrators of this instance (lemmy.film).

Bad LinkMonkey! 💥 Trick mirror links not interesting enough for @jordanlund@lemmy.world! 🤣
Re:how...Psycho is one of my all-time favorite movies and in all the years and all the times I've rewatched it, I've never, ever thought about how that shot was achieved! I'm inclined to agree with @bennyinc@feddit.de
I heard a rumor years ago, no idea if it's true or not... That Hitch did it by constructing an oversized showerhead and running salt through it rather than water.
Interesting solution, and you can kind of see it in the still I posted.
Would love to confirm it.
Now that you mention it, this sounds awfully familiar to me...the salt doesn't ring a bell, though...not confirming nor denying 🤔
Y'know, this could have been another super Jordan Lund MovieSnob post on its own, ratzenfraztengrumblemumble!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
