Help! Death sound clips.
Kirei
obsession! I've been into Pterry and, more specifically, the Discworld books,
for about 4 or 5 years now (and recently also an addiction to Good Omens -- I
can't wait for the movie).
Anyway, I have a request. I recently got the Soul Music DVD (which I need to
return, as episode 3 on mine won't work... ::cries::) and I was talking to a
friend online about how amazing Christopher Lee as Death is, when suddenly she
said I should record a clip of him for her. Now, I don't really have the audio
setup to do this properly. Does anyone have any clips of Christopher Lee's
Death that they can send to me, or direct me to a website that has any?
Thanks!

Also, beside the wrong name, according to Total Film magazine (which is
pretty good at this, and also had an interview with Mr. Gilliam where they
got this via horse-mouth), the whole thing's fallen through again. No
funding forthcoming. Exact quote of quote:

look like we do now. I think it's another one that's collapsed"

Protected good. I'm comfortable with protected. Endangered? Something

Which reminds me, in an attempt to battle the fad for 'Singing Trout' and
other singing trophies, I had the idea known as 'The Screaming Deer'. Every
time you walk past it screams a variation on 'AAAAAAAAARGH! I'VE BEEN SHOT!
MEDIC! HELP! GET ROLF! THUMPER SET ME UP!'' and 'Does my bum look big in
this? Wait a second.... AAAAARGH! IT'S GONE!'

project doesn't mean you will make money by investing in it. They
currently have a script, a cast, and a director, but they're shy some
tens of millions of dollars. Gilliam can afford to move on and find a
project that will cost less (Tideland). Since there is no studio
backing, without a director committed the project will tend to founder.

Jim Carrey can act very well when they let him. I first saw
him in The Dead Pool before he was famous, and I've come
to the conclusion that he's merely useless as a comedian. As
an actor he's quite good; he should do more serious roles.

Jim Carrey was great in The Mask. Unfortunately (IMO) in everything
else he sucked.

He was very good in The Truman Show, and it's a film well worth seeing.
I've also heard good things about Man In The Moon, I intend to check
that out too.
And I also liked him in Batman Forever; he made an excellent Riddler.
OTT, yes, but in a style which befitted the part. It seems he's fine
when he's got to play a part in someone else's movie; that way he's got
inbuilt constraints on what his character has to be. If it's his movie,
or someone writes a Jim Carrey Part(TM), then he's free to go wherever
his excesses take him. Not pretty.

I like Robin Williams and Jim Carrey better than their usual work. They
both need very strong directors to keep their parts from becoming
stand-up impromptus (Groucho Marx being another one who was not noted
for staying with the script), which, however fun, tend to break up the
movies.

Do so. do so. do so. Do it now. Go on...
The Truman Show is a storming filum which, for some reason which I
never fully understood (probably the Carrey factor) didn't really
do as well as it deserved - the fact that it came out at around
the same time as Ed:tv which had a similar premise[1] didn't
really help, Ed:tv seemed to get more critical praise.
I actually thought there was something essentially Dickian (as in
Philip K) about the plot[2] - without spoiling it (hey, the basic
premise of the film is layed out in the trailer) too much, the film
is an essay on peoples (doesn't matter whose) perceptions of reality.
Or am I getting too analytical about this?
Anyway, I digress... The Truman show is one of my favourite
recent films, and it is far, far, far and away the best Jim Carrey
film I've seen. My opinion of him has changed somewhat since
seeing it as I'd only really seen those horrible Ace Ventura things
before that (and the Puzzler thing in whichever batflick he was
in) and had mentally tagged him as "generic rubber faced comedy
bloke". Having now caught up on (one or two) of his other acting
credits, I reckon he's a pretty decent actor - when he want's to
be although he still falls back on that mad-eyed sideways stare
thing a bit too much.
Cheers
Chris

I agree, it's a good movie. Unlike most Carrey movies it actually has
a point. I like both Jim Carrey and Robin Williams fine when they
don't try too be funny and, most importantly, keeps the improv ratio
very very low.

He was good in the sense that he didn't go in for masses of clowning
around, but, for me, it ended up feeling mawkish.
I feel that The Truman Show was a missed opportunity, it could have
said a lot more about the increasing "surveillance society" and media
intrusion into people's private lives.
If I'd been making it, I would have looked to Network as my model, eg
that sublimely ridiculous scene where the media are negotiating with
the terrorist group for coverage of their operations and the
associated royalty and residual rights.
I think TTS should have had shown more of the external manipulation of
the show to keep it in its prime position and the competition with
other networks who would, surely, have come up with their own versions
to get a "slice of the pie".

Wheras, for me, RW is much better when he's doing his pure improvised
comedy stuff (eg in Aladdin).
Good Morning Vietnam did rather result in Williams over-riding the
main characters part (the only name I can think of at the moment is
Crowley!), but frankly, for me, the improvised bits are the best part
and the rest of the film limps.

Hmm, I have no idea how they would have dubbed Aladdin, I expect
trying to translate RW's freewheeling style would be even more
difficult than doing it with Pterry's books.

enjoy Robin Williams' Genii in English. It's said that he gave them
many more hours of improv than they used, and during the promotional
tour the radio studio staff used to just stick him in front of a
microphone for a couple of minutes to see what came out.
Speaking of improv, did anybody hear Frank Bruno's astonishing interview
on Radio 5 Live about three or four months back? Not someone I had
previously associated with wit, he held the studio spellbound for the
duration of his call.

Yes, but I was actually quite impressed with it. The actor doing the part
in the dub can do pretty much the same stuff, but he was limited by there
being an existing movie. RW was in many scenes given a suggestion and then
they made the animation fit what he said. Not only lip sync, but a lot of
other stuff as well. Dan Ekborg was given a script that fitted with that
animation and was told to try to keep the speed up.
I've heard that the Swedish casting is usually held in high regard by
Disney, although they did complain that Scar in Lion King was better than
the original - they were afraid the kids would find him too scary. Oops.
No pun intended.

The original voice for Scar should be put in irons, btw.
