Podcast Episode Summary
Before I tell you a little bit about this episode of Most People Are DJs. I want to mention something that's been bugging me a bit lately. It's movie trailers that have parts of a movie that don't end up in the movie. My recent example is Iron Man 2 - which, by the way, is a good movie. In the trailer, there's a scene with Iron Man jumping off a roof, yelling to Pepper Potts "You complete me!" I found the moment irritating and cliche, so I was glad it wasn't in the movie - (or, at least, I don't remember it in the movie). But, it begs the question, why was it in the trailer? Was it an early trailer and the scene was cut out from the film? I can see that could happen if you're rushing a trailer to complete the film. However, I've seen that bit on other trailers. Seems manipulative to me. But, isn't that the point of most trailers? Okay, that's off my chest, though I may look for a few more examples and expound on it another time. On this podcast, I am talking with Mark Bell, the owner and publisher of FilmThreat.com, a website of independent movies, movie reviews and more. I was interested in talking with Mark because Film Threat was a magazine I read in the 90's and 25 years later it's still alive and kicking as a website. I've also been listening to the FilmThreat Podcast which features lively film discussion between Mark and co-conspirator across the country, Eric Campos. It's good to see a zine from back in the day, go from little zine, to popular mag, to zine zomebieland and get resurrected again as a website and still be the vital film resource it is today.
