(which aren't actually subliminal)

Has anyone seen The Five Obstructions? Supposedly, one of the obstructions is that no shot lasts more than a few seconds (I think it's a a specific number but I forget).

Godzilla vs Bambi

― andy, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Godzilla vs. Bambi is all one "take" though!

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoa, 12 frames is pretty harsh!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

it's the "cuba" bit, the first one, i think. it's great.

― g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

haha it's harder to think of really short takes because they're so short

― amateur!!st, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

does natural born killers count? that movie was very quasi-video gamey.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

i think stone's any given sunday was one of the fastest-cut films ever made in hollywood.

― amateur!!st, Thursday, 2 September 2004 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

"Psycho" shower scene.

The shots of the two young girls (when Danny has his visions) early in "The Shining."

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Thursday, 2 September 2004 23:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoa, 12 frames is pretty harsh!

Healf a second? Yeah, that's pretty harsh, I'd say. To watch.

the first porn movie I ever saw was a blooper reel hosted by Ron Jeremy. Before Jeremy would introduce the next clip there was sometimes a two second non-sequitur shot. One was an extreme close-up of penetration, another was him standing with his bathrobe open while doing the genital helicopter. Sometimes we'd rewind the tape to reaffirm what they just had flashed at us.

Half of Requiem for a Dream, obv.

"genital helicopter"!? ...nevermind, I don't want to know.

― Al (sitcom), Friday, 3 September 2004 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

the scene in Commando where Arnold takes off a guy's scalp with a loose saw blade

i used to be OBSESSED with that scene

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 3 September 2004 00:55 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it totally traumatized me because i used to think about it all the time. in my mind the guy's forehead just came off, revealing just a flat pink slate!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 3 September 2004 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I suppose you can't get any shorter than individual frames (unless you want to argue for split screens?)

The Flicker (1965) -- alternating solid black and solid white frames.

guy maddin wrote about this movie in film comment last year where a guy walked from one city to another (sorry i have NO idea where this was) with a camera, taking one-second shots of stuff as he went along, and that was his movie. it sounded great!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 3 September 2004 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

god i have a bad memory.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 3 September 2004 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

The "what happened to the other crew" shots in Event Horizon (they still freak me out).

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 September 2004 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

MAN that movie freaked my SHIT!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 3 September 2004 02:40 (twenty-one years ago)

You and me seem to be the only ones, everyone else says it was a lame film! :( Well I bloody liked it.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 September 2004 02:50 (twenty-one years ago)

it also had to do with watching it after finding out a friend was REALLY REALLY sick and being all body-weird (it was a complicated reaction)
