'The first reactions to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer have dropped following a world premiere in Paris. Following the nearly three-hour screening, critics are praising Cillian Murphy’s performance and calling the film “awe-inspiring,” “staggering” and a “spectacular achievement.”

Total Film editor Matt Maytum said the film left him “stunned” and called Cillian Murphy’s performance “sublime.” “An epic historical drama but with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: the tension, structure, sense of scale, startling sound design, remarkable visuals. Wow,” he added.

Jonathan Dean of The Sunday Times says he was “totally absorbed” by the film calling it “a dense, talkie, tense film partly about the bomb, mostly about how doomed we are.”

“Murphy is good, but the support essential: Damon, Downey Jr & Ehrenreich even bring gags. An audacious, inventive, complex film to rattle its audience,” Dean added.

One negative point Dean mentioned was that the women in the cast “are badly served” noting “Emily Blunt only once gets out of her stressed mother role.” However, Dean has already ranked Oppenheimer in his top three Nolan films alongside Memento and The Prestige.

Bilge Ebiri of Vulture tweeted, “OPPENHEIMER is…incredible. The word that keeps coming to mind is ‘fearsome.’ A relentlessly paced, insanely detailed, intricate historical drama that builds and builds and builds until Nolan brings the hammer down in the most astonishing, shattering way.”

Associated Press film writer Lindsey Bahr called Oppenheimer a “spectacular achievement” saying the story of the film “is a serious, philosophical, adult drama that’s as tense and exciting as Dunkirk. And the big moment – THAT MOMENT – is awe-inspiring.”

Collider’s editor-in-chief Steven Weintraub said the film “is incredible” adding, “Every aspect of the film is worth talking about from the brilliant performances, to #HoytevanHoytema’s amazing work behind the camera, to the way Nolan tells the story. The 3-hour run time flies by. See it in @IMAX 70mm if you can.”

Jeremy Mathai from Slash Film said Oppenheimer was “staggering in every sense of the word.”

“Might sound nuts to say this about a Chris Nolan movie that isn’t INCEPTION, DUNKIRK, or even TENET, but this could be his most formally daring work yet,” he added. “Sharp script, impeccable sound design, and Cillian Murphy is a *force*.”

Oppenheimer hits theaters on July 21 and it also stars Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek and Kenneth Branagh, among others...'

Tolerance Project extra a long time ago in a Galaxy far far away

Part 3 Spoofing my Childhood and the boy will bring balance to the force

Introduction

Hello there and welcome to the third and final chapter in my own trilogy of blogs on the Star Wars Saga Chapter 1 covered the making of Star Wars my memories of the toyline and seeing Star Wars on Television in 1982 in the UK Chapter covered Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi my memories of both films and the lost sequel Splinter in a minds eye the third and final chapter will cover my feelings on the Prequel trilogy and the shooting of the Tolerance film which featured its own Star Wars spoof

Why did we pick Star Wars as our first spoof in the Tolerance film

When we decided to make the Tolerance film in 1999 we thought the best way to approach the film would be through the medium of a dramatic comedy, this we would do through a series of film spoofs.

The first one was the most obvious was Star Wars if you talked to any child of my generation who grew up in the 80s Star Wars was the big one with its space battles Special effects and that music by John Williams.

 It was also the first blockbuster film to have a concerted push towards moving merchindise such as books action figures breakfast cereals the list could go on forever. To take a look at a tiny fraction of the Star Wars Merchindise on offer see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6epoVSz8m2o

For the Tolerance film we used the blockbuster main theme to tell our story. And spoofed the now classic opening dialogue crawl that appeared in all 9 movies we slightly tweaked ours so instead of it telling you about the battles of the rebel alliance against the evil empire it told you about what the Tolerance project was and what you would be watching over the next 25 mins

You can read about how Star Wars created that original opening crawl by clicking here https://www.slashfilm.com/1322995/how-star-wars-created-original-opening-crawl-using-black-paper/#:~:text=Thus%2C%20to%20make%20the%20crawl%2C%20they%20had%20to,illusion%20of%20the%20letters%20progressing%20up%20the%20screen.

Deleted scene  Scene 3: Princess Leia Dream Sequence

The first deleted scene in the Tolerance film was the first of the intended film spoofs, taking off the popular science fiction film, Star Wars. In the finished film, there is a Star Wars homage, but the director, Richard Helliwell, shot it differently from the script. In 1999 when we were filming, there was no CGI, nor did we have the budget for anything out of the ordinary!

 Robert is in a Star Fighter ready to fire his thermo bombs into the Death Star. Dissolve to Robert, who receives a medal from Princess Leia, but she is not Princess Leia, she is Robert’s girlfriend, Julie.

Interestingly some of the deleted scenes were included in the props list (see the picture below the deleted scenes are highlighted in Green)

The Star Wars dream sequence for example has the following list attached to it Star Wars Footage blue screen equipment fighter pilot clothing medal Princess Leia dress there is a star Wars spoof in the finished film but it was not as direct as this one.

Star Wars the Prequel Trilogy The Boy will bring balance to the force

The scene continues 1 minute 22 seconds with the Star Wars music still playing, we get a nice opening shot of our leading man, David Smith, fast asleep, clutching a book about the latest Star Wars film, The Phantom Menace (episode 1), with his wheelchair close by. David Smith plays our hero, Robert.

Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace was doing its initial cinema run when we were shooting the Tolerance film  so it only seemed fair to include it as part of our Star Wars spoof sequence. 

Star Wars Episode I the Phantom Menace was one of the last VHS tapes I ever bought when it was released on the 4th April 2000. what do I think of the film now  nearly 25 years later? very good it could have been a lot worse.

The space battles are very good as are the light saber battles the  music by John williams is as always top draw and the performances from the cast are mostly of a high standard

Its not my favourite film of the prequel trilogy though a lot of people favour Episode III Revenge of the Sith but I find that a hard film to watch for me its the middle chapter of the trilogy attack of the clones that gets my vote

I am not the only that likes Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones as Steven Speilberg likes it too as he mentioned in this interview with Slash film click here Steven Spielberg Praised A Maligned George Lucas Star Wars Movie

I think it also helps that I went to the cinema to see this one that put the cherry on the cake.

To read an article on why it took George Lucas so long to make the Star Wars prequel trilogy read this by the movieweb film website

Why Did the Star Wars Prequels Take So Long to Make It to the Big Screen? (movieweb.com)

What is the best order to watch the Star Wars films ?

If after reading this epic blog on Star Wars you want to watch the films again George Lucas once commented on the order you should watch the films in according to a recent post on the Far out magazine website .

Although Star Wars is the most popular franchise of them all, it always stirs up a considerable amount of debate. Pretty much every Star Wars film and show since the original has proved divisive in one way or another – even The Empire Strikes Back, now often heralded as the pinnacle of Star Wars on-screen, received mixed reviews back in the day.

And while the original trilogy is generally held in high esteem, George Lucas’ prequel trilogy and Disney’s sequel trilogy remain bitterly divisive and contentious among fans, even though there is actually plenty of great stuff in each set of films.

Another aspect that often stirs debate, aside from the quality of the trilogies themselves, is the correct order in which to view the movies, given that they were not released in chronological order. Well, there isn’t technically a correct order to view the Star Wars films – each person will have differing preferences, which is absolutely fine.

Nonetheless, if one really wanted to seek out a ‘correct’ viewing order, who better to ask than franchise creator George Lucas? He has lovingly described the first six Star Wars films as his “children” after all, and even if some fans still criticise him for the prequels, he is the definitive authority on the franchise.

When discussing the viewing order in 2015, Lucas argued for perhaps the simplest viewing order: the chronological one, starting with 1999’s Star Wars – Episode I: The Phantom Menace and ending with 1983 Star Wars – Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

He said: “That’s the way they’re supposed to be done. Just because it took a long time to film it doesn’t mean you don’t do it in order.”

This statement was made before the sequel trilogy (which didn’t directly involve Lucas) was released, but Lucas would no doubt encourage viewers to watch those last.

He would likely encourage audiences to watch the spin-off films Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story, which take place between the prequel and original trilogy, in chronological order too. This would mean Solo first, followed by Rogue One – which ends shortly before A New Hope begins.

Regardless of the order in which you watch the films, chances are you’ll have a blast. Star Wars is an absolute international treasure and in spite of the fan negativity that surrounds so much of this series, there is plenty of greatness within all of the franchise’s instalments – even the weaker ones.

With Pride Month of 2023 coming to an end and the way Netflix has send it off by releasing its new original film that is based on the graphic novel of the same name, Nimona. I have a feeling that people will be talking Ambrosius Goldenloin x Ballister Blackheart for the rest of the year, and might base their future Pride month works on them the next year.

Vito and Aldo 🖤🤌 -

Original Characters (Mobsters in love)

Vito Trepani & Aldo Morelli

Francesca "Frankie" Morelli

Max "The Bat" Pagliacci

From the diary of Vito Trepani, December 1945:

Aldo Morelli, my best bud. Smooth talker, ladies' man, everything I ain't. But then things got complicated. Our friendship started feeling more like something else,

I tried playing it Bogart, but Aldo saw right through me.

“Just come here” he growled. And then he kissed me.

Excerpts from Santiago Stracci testimony - 1958:

Vito Trepani, now there's a guy who's as complex as they come. He's got a mind like a steel trap, always calculating, always planning his next move. But underneath that tough exterior beats the heart of a hopeless romantic.

See, Vito never had much of a family growing up, but the Estacado Family has given him a home, a place where he belongs. And they've also given him an outlet for all that rage that simmers just below the surface.

But don't let his violent tendencies fool you, Vito's got a soft spot a mile wide, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. He's a sucker for a good love story, always dreaming of finding the kind of love he's never known.

Aldo Morelli, he's built like a brick wall, perfect for the jobs Angelo Boccino throws his way. But you know what really sets Aldo apart? His bond with his sister, Francesca. They're as thick as thieves, those two. She's his world, and he'd do anything for her. It's a beautiful thing, really, seeing how much they care for each other in our line of work.

Francesca "Frankie" Morelli, Aldo's little sister, is a firecracker, let me tell you. She's the kind of dame who could charm the devil himself with that smile of hers. But don't let her looks fool you, she's got brains to match, and she's not afraid to use 'em.

Frankie's always looking out for her big brother, Aldo. Most nights, you'll find her patching him up when he stumbles home from work, a real mother hen, that one. She's tough as nails, but she's got a heart of gold, especially when it comes to family.

But let me tell you, she's no pushover. Frankie's got a mouth on her that could make a sailor blush, and she's not afraid to speak her mind. She's a handful, that's for sure, but she's also fiercely loyal and would do anything for the ones she loves.
