The /Filmcast: After Dark - Ep. 40 - Blue Genitalia and Career/Genre Revivals (GUEST: Elisabeth Rappe from Cinematical)

Posted on Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 by David Chen

/FilmCast

The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file. In this episode, Dave Chen, Devindra Hardawar and Adam Quigley discuss the role of women in Watchmen, audience reactions to glowing blue genitalia, and careers/genres they’d like to see revitalized. Also, a brief discussion on Joel Schumacher’s Phone Booth. Special guest Elisabeth Rappe joins us from Cinematical.

You can always e-mail us with feedback/comments/questions at slashfilmcast(AT)gmail(DOT)com. You can also call and leave a voicemail at 781-583-1993. Join us on Wednesday night at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST at Slashfilm’s live page as we review Zach Snyder’s Watchmen.

After Dark, slashfilmcast, 

  • i thought Watchmen was fantastic. maybe even repeat theater going worthy.

    unfortunately, the audience reaction (in Northern WV, i live in OH) to Dr. Manhattan's Manhattan were what you would expect from a group of 7th graders. uncontrollable giggling, and not just even at the blue dong. there was obvious laughter during any scene where nudity was a factor (frontal, ass, whatever...it didn't matter). i felt like nobody really understood what was going on. it did make me feel smarter than a vast majority of those in attendance, which isn't exactly hard given the location.

    and i actually enjoyed "Phone Booth". but that's just me.
  • Maybe it was the fact that the IMAX theater had the sound at roughly 120dB, but I didn't notice any laughter at all. I thought that was pretty cool, especially now since everyone else seems to be talking about how giggly genitalia made people.
  • I went to the Marquee Cinema in Toms River, NJ at 4:30pm on Friday and had to wade through a ton of teenagers to get my ticket. The huge stadium seats were not packed at all, though, and there were about 50-60 people in my showing. The blubbering and cell phone use during the trailers was normal, but when the lights dropped, everyone shut up.

    I am proud to say there were about 2 giggles at the 1st full frontal shot, and that is it. Not another peep for the other Doc Manhattan scenes.

    Thanks you, Toms River Kids, for not ruining my film-going experience.
  • The only thing that people in my theater laughed at was the corny music playing during the very serious (and fairly graphic) sex scene. I thought that music choice was pretty off, even though I understand why they did it.

    I saw the flick at the midnight showing last thursday in IMAX, and it was sold out to the point that a bunch of people had to be turned away. The theater was mostly an over 20 crowd with a few teenagers here and there. The row of, for lack of a better term, "bros" behind me almost ruined the entire movie, and probably did ruin it for the guy next to me. Not only did they giggle like 5th graders everytime the member in question made an appearence (while the rest of the sold out theater was silent), but eventually started yelling at the screen to "put some goddamn clothes on." at this point, the dude next to me, mid 30's, sort of nerd-ish looking, turned around and told the apes that "if they didn't shut up he was going to pound the shit out of them." Which got a healthy round of applause.
  • Killjoy
    Unfortunately, the goons (about 6 or 7 of them) kept up, telling the guy next to me to "turn around if he knows what's good for him" and other such threats, which prompted myself and most in my general vacinity to yell at these guys untill they shut up. Ruined a good 5 or 6 minutes of the movie and left a really bad taste in my mouth.Aside from that though, I definately enjoyed the movie, warts and all. Hopfully, if nothing else, it'll serve as a catalyst for more of the mainstream public to go out and buy the book.
