Movies In Frames

text 11:12:00

moviesinframes:

The Terminator, 1984 (dir. James Cameron). By rizomer.

Oh, come on. This isn’t even chronological order, damnit.

I know I’m biased (I did my own version a while ago), but a lot of movies in frames are pretty meh. There’s no theme, or narrative: they just feel like random shots from the film, picked because they mean something to the author, but they never manage to convey what that something is.

That’s not to say they’re all rubbish; on the current front page, the Reefer Madness frames are very well done. More like that, please.

[Edit] Tom points out that the first frame might actually be from the “in the future” sequence at the beginning. If so, then I’m wrong. (I’ll admit the colours work really well in rizomer’s version, too.)
