Sorry, yes, true. But I thought that was more about Amazon. I just discovered I had ‘subtitles’ on (surprise, surprise!), but still, since when do we have subtitles for silent scenes describing character actions? A rhetorical question...[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]No idea, but that reminds me of the time my wife and I watched [i]The Shipping News[/i] and the subtitles said something like "windshield wiper blades move in sync with heartbeat." And we were like, okay, subtitle writer. I'm sorry you have literary aspirations that maybe aren't being met in this job, but let us figure that out for ourselves.[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX]Just started watching Midsommar on Amazon Prime, and the first few seconds gave me subtitles to a picture of a tree. I.e: a man reaches towards the tree branch while another man bends down... and it continues too! When the scene is totally silent the subtitles read: ‘She eyes her recent calls, including home, Terri...’ What on Earth is up with that? I’ve never seen anything like this before.[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike][quote=Cobra]Here’s an idea for a movie, a parody of art house films in vein of Airplane or Naked Gun. Whoever takes it, good luck on a script.[/quote]

Many problems here. First "Art House" isn't a genre so it can encompass a wide variety of films, probably too large a variety to distill. Secondly your target audience for a low-brow, gross-out, over-the-top spoof of these movies is likely to have watched few if any of the targets being parodied. Third the easiest, laziest way to parody these subjects is the reason the original movies were made in the first place. [i]Brokeback Mountain[/i] was successful enough and known enough to be a target in one of the [i]Scary Movie[/i] sequels, but it is just a bunch of dumb gags and homophobia.

How would you parody [i]Boys Don't Cry[/i]? It is a dramatization of a real life tragedy. You go down that road and it gets truly disrespectful and unfunny very quickly.

A movie like [i]The Favourite[/i]  already has a satirical eye on costume pictures. It is not an [i]Airplane![/i] style spoof exactly, but it is partly designed as response to and plays against the "Art House" standard, whatever that is. Woody Allen's [i]Love & Death[/i] is an over-the-top, anachronistic, silly spoof of Leo Tolstoy. Considering nobody reads anymore I would think you'd have a difficult time getting a picture like that made today.

But otherwise, good idea![/quote]
