Every Insert-to-Closeup in Little Women (1994) coldcrashpictures 2021-12-29 | "Little Women" (1994) does this thing where they'll open a scene with an insert on an object... and then pan over to a person's face—thereby transitioning the insert into a close-up. I think it's so good at establishing intimacy, character, and spatial awareness that I went ahead and assembled a supercut of every instance in the film. No commentary. I just think it's neat!

If you want to read more about the Alien series, I’d recommend the Alien Resurrection novelization by AC Crispin, and “Beautiful Monsters” by David McIntee—who really isn’t as bad a scholar as this video might make him sound. McIntee is a trivia-hound—just like me—and his production-narratives for all four films make for some really interesting reads. There’s also Roz Kaveney’s anthology of essays, “From Alien to The Matrix,” which presents some really interesting interpretations of the Alien series, even if I don’t agree with every one of them. In fact, the first several drafts of this video wound up referencing a *lot* more of her writing—back when the video was going to open with like a ten-minute analysis of the series as a whole. If you ever happen to see Kaveney, please don’t show her this video—I want her to like me. I’d also recommend “Framing Monsters: Fantasy Film and Social Alienation” by Joshua David Bellin, who pushes the Aliens-as-Reagan-era-propaganda theory even harder than Amy Taubin. See... whether you agree with that interpretation or not, it certainly makes for an interesting read. And, finally, special thanks goes out to tumblr user nancykerrigan, who sent me a really cool essay by Elizabeth Hills called “From ‘figurative males’ to action heroines: further thoughts on active women in the cinema,” which, like so much else in this video, wound up getting cut, either because it ran too long or it didn’t tie directly into Alien Resurrection.Check out my independent film "Second Service" here on YouTube: youtu.be/hWm6No3lGwcTwitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsTumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comInstagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesPatreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLO
Patreon AMA! coldcrashpictures 2019-08-04 | We made it to $200/month on Patreon (and beyond!), so I'm doing an AMA/Q&A to celebrate! Hope y'all like my unscripted ramblings!Even as this video was uploading, I was already wanting to go back and clarify/amend some of my comments. Like how I say the Oscars are just "pageantry and politics." Well, yeah, but... politics are important! And fascinating! Even in Hollywood! All I meant by that statement is that the Oscars have no bearing on the artistic value of any given film. Anyhoot. In the end, I decided if I really wanted to go back and clarify every single statement that I had the urge to clarify, I should just sit down and script all my responses, but then that kinda defeats the purpose of a spontaneous Q&A, so in the end, I decided to simply speak, upload... and let the dialogue commence!Special Thanks to my Patreon Producers: Johnny Coleman, Richard Ashmore, Romenia Snowden, Sang-Jin Chung, and Sunil!royalty free Music by Giorgio Di Campo for FreeSound Music http://freesoundmusic.eufacebook.com/freemusicforyoutubeyoutube.com/freesoundmusicoriginal video: youtube.com/watch?v=tN4xzc1pYXAAlton Brown's chocolate rum mousse recipe: foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/chocolate-mousse-recipe0-1955790Check out my independent film "Second Service" here on YouTube: youtu.be/hWm6No3lGwcTwitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsTumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comInstagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesPatreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLO

In this video series, we're going to take a look at the history of the Confederacy, and how the film presents the Confederacy to its audience, in order to try and come up with an answer to the question: should we still be watching 'Gone with the Wind?'Script Consultant: The Eponanonymous JPSpecial thanks to my Patreon Producers: Jordan B and Josh Frye!Here's Tom Richey's video "Was the Civil War About Slavery?": youtube.com/watch?v=MbvDRY0O30E&t=359sHere's Rebel Media's video "5 reasons not to ban the Confederate flag -- from a Canadian immigrant": youtube.com/watch?v=MbvDRY0O30E&t=359sCheck out my independent film "Second Service" here on YouTube: youtu.be/hWm6No3lGwcTwitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsTumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comInstagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesPatreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLO
Rise & Grind Film Culture: A Rant coldcrashpictures 2019-04-15 | I like to think I'm not known for "rants." But I threw up a poll on Twitter and people said they wanted to hear one, so this is what I made. I like to think this video isn't criticizing any individual *people* so much as individual *ideas* that might get repeated by certain people at various times. Anyhoot. Wow. My "rants" are so apologetic!Special thanks to my Patreon Producers: Jordan B and Josh Frye!Check out my independent film "Second Service" here on YouTube: youtu.be/hWm6No3lGwcTwitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsTumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comInstagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesPatreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLO
Run by Gnarls Barkley ft. Mission Impossible coldcrashpictures 2019-03-10 | This project started life as a music video for "Run" by Gnarls Barkley, featuring footage of people running from all my favorite movies. Then I realized... I really only needed footage of Tom Cruise. THEN I realized... I really only needed the "Mission Impossible" franchise....
Top 10 Favorite Films of 2018 coldcrashpictures 2019-02-18 | Sometimes, a year of film is so fun & exciting that it almost feels disingenuous to try and rank them. I did my best with 2018, but ultimately, you can't go wrong with any of the films on this list -- or even several that didn't quite get a shout-out!Special thanks to my Patreon Producers: Jordan B and Josh Frye!Twitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsTumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comInstagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesPatreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLO
20 Films That Helped Me Through My 20s coldcrashpictures 2019-01-28 | I just recently turned 30… and I guess it’s got me more than a little ponderous. This is probably the closest thing to a “draw my life” video I’ll ever make. It’s not meant to provide a *complete* record of the last decade of my life—I’m just going to be using my life as a reference-point for the films I’m gonna talk about—instead of what’s usually the other way around. There won’t be a lot of film analysis in this video… but there WILL be a lot of honesty. If for nothing else… I hope it makes you feel something. Special thanks to my Patreon Producer: Josh Frye!The Full List:Cool Runnings (1993)Gattaca (1997)Nightcrawler (2014)Magic Mike (2012)Bicycle Thieves (1948)Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)Pacific Rim (2013)Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)Serenity (2005)Network (1976)Second Service (2017)The Martian (2015)Cast Away (2000)Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)The Birdcage (1996)It Happened One Night (1934)Brooklyn (2015)Up in the Air (2009)Before Sunset (2004)Twitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsTumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comInstagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesPatreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLO
Top 10 Favorite Films of 2013 (RE-UPLOAD) coldcrashpictures 2019-01-11 | This video was originally uploaded on Feb 23, 2014. I took it down after I realized one of the songs I used as a punchline was sung by disgraced pedophile R. Kelly. I've taken out the offending song and replaced it with something that doesn't make me so wildly uncomfortable.This video is quite the time-capsule! Five years ago, I knew next to nothing about lighting, editing, focusing the camera, or how to source clips from anything other than YouTube. It's a wonder so many of you have stuck with me for so long! I almost have it in mind to remake the entire video from scratch, but... alas... time probably won't allow it.
Candyman: Breaking all the Rules of Horror coldcrashpictures 2018-11-01 | There's so much to talk about with "Candyman." I consider this video a mere introductory course -- basically just bringing up topics for future discussion. My favorite points-of-interest include the structure of the narrative itself (as it relates to GRUESOME KILLS), the implicit commentary about race & class in America, and the unique mixture of emotions it invokes -- all of which help it to stand head-and-shoulders above most other horror-films.Twitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsTumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comInstagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesPatreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLOSpecial thanks to my Patreon Producer: Josh Frye!
Best of the Jaws Rip Offs coldcrashpictures 2018-08-26 | When "Jaws" broke box office records in the summer of 1975, the market was suddenly flooded with similar "Natural Horror" films -- everything from vengeful orcas to giant mutant bears savaged the silver screens of the late 70s & early 80s. I'm here to crown a winner... if I can only manage to track down copies of them all!

Top 5 Favorite Feminist Film Tropes coldcrashpictures 2018-07-11 | Sexist tropes tend to be easy to spot. They're all about overriding our default understanding of the equality of the sexes. They make us feel weird and out-of-sorts, even if we don't precisely know why. Feminist tropes, on the other hand, tend to be a lot HARDER to spot, because they're often all about NOT calling attention to the differences between the sexes (most of which I find to be pretty academic). This video is here to celebrate the films that remind us that everyone on the gender-spectrum deserves a place at the table.Special thanks to my Patreon producer: Josh Frye!

Thematic Retconning in Blade Runner 2049 coldcrashpictures 2018-05-15 | "Blade Runner" is one of my all-time favorite movies, but not just because of the art direction. I love the questions it seeks to answer about life... and death. "Blade Runner 2049" isn't necessarily a "bad" film... but it's not seeking answers to any of the same questions that "Blade Runner" was asking. It's retconning the THEMES of the original film.Special thanks to my Patreon producer: Josh Frye!Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsFollow me on Tumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comFollow me on Instagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesCheck me out on Patreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLOThe Cold Crash Pictures logo is courtesy of geeksigner.com!
Headcanon, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love John Wayne (Films) coldcrashpictures 2018-04-09 | "The Cowboys" (1972) is one of my all-time favorite westerns... not just because of how viscerally satisfying it is, but also because of my own personal headcanon, which considers the possibility that the last act is actually a figment of the audience's imagination. Also featured in this video are special appearances by (1) an issue of Playboy, (2) a cameo by "Moulin Rouge," and (3) a bunch of my old baby photos!Special thanks to my Patreon producer: Josh Frye!Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/coldcrashpicsFollow me on Tumblr: http://coldcrashpictures.tumblr.comFollow me on Instagram: instagram.com/coldcrashpicturesCheck me out on Patreon: patreon.com/coldcrashpicturesAmazon wishlist: amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2R54ZO5M65RLOThe Cold Crash Pictures logo is courtesy of geeksigner.com!

4 Cinematic Victims of Hays Code Era Censorship coldcrashpictures 2017-11-26 | The Hays Code was a system of self-censorship that Hollywood subjected itself to from 1934 to 1968, in an attempt to stave off legislative censorship by the government. In that limited sense, the Hays Code served its purpose, but some would argue that it did even more damage to artistic expression than the government was prepared to do. In this video, I outline 4 cinematic victims of Hays Code-era censorship -- not to make fun of the past... but rather to learn as much as we can from it.
