Movies are all the important parts of stories cut together. For
instance, the Godfather cuts out the part where Marlon
Brando
drives to his daughter's wedding. That scene might be about 20
minutes of him sitting in the back of a limo reading the paper.
Now with modern technology, all the missing
parts of a movie
that would happen in real life are there to view as they would
actually happen. This was inspired by videos currently on
Youtube consisting of things like 15 hours of paint drying, 20
hours of grass growing etc.
Luke Skywalker taking a nap before doing battle with Darth
Vader and finding out he's Darth's son. 4 hours.
The shark in jaws swimming... and swimming... and
swimming.
Indiana Jones making lunch.
You would have dozens of screens showing all the characters
doing stuff in real time but here's the good part. You could
scroll
past these to scenes where they interact and actually perform
the movie parts. You could even flip a switch where it fast
forwarded through everything that was boring and slowed to
real
time for the important scenes.
This would impart an air of reality to your favorite movies.
NOTE: All bathroom scenes would be just the door closing
obviously.
The camera would patiently show the door for however many
minutes before you heard a flush and the character walked
out drying their hands.

Yes. About a third of the movie would be sleeping. |
|
| |
Andy Warhol already explored this in his quest to see what
he could get away with calling "art". |
|
| |
This would have a point though. And you could fast forward
through it. |
|
| |
You might have to use CGI since I'm not sure how many
famous actors would be willing to revisit their roll in
famous movies to fill in the missing parts. |
|
| |
This movie exists, almost. Link. |

"Darth" is the guy's title, not his first name. (Though I don't think that was actually established (or even known to the creators) in the first movie. Certainly Luke being his son wasn't.) |

//Darth" is the guy's title, not his first name.// |
|
| |
I am so proud of not knowing that. I'm also a bit sad that now I
DO know that. |
|
| |
I do love Star Wars and the Empire Strikes back, but stopped
going to the movies when they had that stupid rasta talking
mutant dogfish thing. |
|
| |
What about the millennia of human evolution preceeding the action? |
|
| |
The starting point for that would be a troupe of grunting hairy hominids capering round the Black Monolith ... |
|
| |
...aaaaand cut! I love it when we get it in one take!
That's lunch people. |
|
| |
I think Vader's first name was Kevin. |
|

Regarding //impart an air of reality to your favourite
movies//, just no no no. I've had reality up to here. If I want
an air of it, I'll just go and visit Aunt Judith, who lives in a
semi-detached in Penge. She has a job, drives a Renault, has
no history of substance abuse and has never appeared in the
tabloid press. She is generally considered the black sheep of
the family. |
|
| |
// That's lunch people. // |
|
| |
If the caterers are serving filled tortillas, you could say " That's a wrap ! " |
|
| |
... and then run before they had s chance to throw stuff. |
|
| |
We have caterers?... why the hell have I been bringing a bag lunch for the last two decades? Does nobody else care about the budget? CGI isn't cheap people let's just ease up on the surf'n'turf a little is all I'm saying... yes, I'm looking at you Phil. |
|
| |
Does Superman get his cape washed? Is it some kind of
super no dirt getting on it material from the planet Blasto?
Crapton, whatever. We might find out. What does
Spiderman eat? Does he eat what spiders eat? Because that
would be disgusting. For that matter what does Darth
McVader eat? I've never seen him eat. Does he take the
mask off? He'd have to. Does he sleep in that thing? |
|

There was an interesting idea for an art exhibit once where
it was just videos of famous people in frames not doing
anything. There's a bit of that here. I'll see if I can find the
link. I think it was put on by the voice of Homer Simpson if I
remember correctly. |
|
| |
The voice of Smithers among others actually. (link) |

//grunting hairy hominids capering round the Black Monolith// - Yes, the 'missing bits' in 2001: A Space Odyssey might take a while, as you'd have to fill in all the action between these early hominids and 2001. |
|
| |
You could just use CGI to add a Black Monolith to old videos of parliamentary debates, if it weren't for the problem that the hominids in 2001 are considerably more intelligent, likeable and above all articulate than most mps. |
