The Film Experience

This weeks collection of short amusements features Olympians, a little Scorsese mania (it was going around for reasons we have yet to discover), an impossible dream of a Ghostbusters sequel, and my first impression of The Light Between Ocean which is out soon. It's all after the jump but we'll start with Scorsese...

Seeing all #Top5Scorsese tweets today I don't get how THE DEPARTED ever gets up that high. That, and how's its a gateway to better Scorsese.

The point is it was a fun exercise as most nerdy fan dives are. Consider this mic drop...

Okay then, General Tweetage

We think of 90 minutes as pretty short for a movie these days, yet I see so many that length that would still play better at 75.

The only reason for a Ghostbusters sequel is the odd chance that it might just be a Carol remake starring Kate McKinnon and Sigourney Weaver

and a sneak peek at LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS

Caught LIGHT BTWN OCEANS earlier this week. Have no idea why i wasn't looking forward to it. Fassy & Vikander have palpable aching chemistry
— Nathaniel Rogers (@nathanielr) August 7, 2016

The Cinematography is... gah! So beautiful. #LightBetweenOceans (Adam Arkapaw is the DP, prev: Animal Kingdom, Macbeth, Top of the Lake)

and we'll end with Olympic Mania...
