<![CDATA[<p>Everyone loves a good movie. Be it James Bond, Indiana Jones, Iron Man or whatever you might be into, we all enjoy watching a good Hollywood movie. We all hear about the latest news regarding movies and movie stars, but there's also a lot of trivia which we never even hear about. With that in mind, I thought I would write this article with some interesting facts for all my readers.</p>
<p>1. For the movie the Wizard of Oz, Judy Garland was paid $35 a week while Toto received $125 a week.</p>
<p>2. The Blues Brothers once held the record for crashing the most police cars in a movie at approximately 30. The record was eventually broken by Blues Brothers 2000.</p>
<p>3. In the movie E.T. there is a scene where the young boy lures the extraterrestrial with some Reese's pieces. Originally Spielberg was going to use M+M's, but he could not get the rights. Reese's pieces were the replacement.</p>
<p>4. When the Mother-Ship passes over the Devil's Tower near the end of Spielberg's movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, R2-D2 can be seen hanging from the bottom of the ship.</p>
<p>5. When filming summer scenes in winter, actors suck on ice  	cubes just before the camera rolls - it cools their mouths so their breath  	doesn't condense in the cold air.</p>
<p>6. The Godfather was the first movie in over twenty years in which Marlon Brando was required to audition.</p>
<p>7. Before anyone is killed in the movie The Godfather, an orange is always seen somewhere.</p>
<p>8. Near the beginning of the movie Back To The Future there's a scene where they show all of the clocks at Doc's house. If you look closely there is one clock with a little man hanging from the minute hand.</p>
<p>9. Brooke Shields spent a lot of time during the filming of Blue Lagoon standing/walking in a trench beside Chris Atkins so that she wouldn't be taller than him in the scenes that they had together.</p>
<p>10. The producers of the movie Gone With The Wind were fined 5,000 dollars for allowing the word "damn" to be heard within the movie's dialog.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FCinemarolling%2F10-Interesting-Facts-About-Movies.346923"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FCinemarolling%2F10-Interesting-Facts-About-Movies.346923" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Zombie Film Facts</title>
<link>http://www.cinemaroll.com/Horror/Zombie-Film-Facts.233953</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>I keep seeing people refer to 28 Days Later as the film that introduced "fast zombies".  BULLSHIT!!!  This is a popular misconception, and it makes me nuts.</p>
<p>The first movie to introduce fast, or sprinting zombies, was Return of the Living Dead by John Russo.  If you never saw it, get on it, it's a cult classic.</p>
<p>A lot of people don't know Night of the Living Dead is the only movie to have TWO sets of separate sequels!</p>
<p>You see the Original Night of the Living Dead was co-written by a man named John Russo with George Romero.  The two had a big fight over finances and split the propert.  Russo took the "Of the Living Dead" title and Romero took the time of day aspect.</p>
<p>Romero went on to make Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, and recently Diary of the Dead.  His zombies remained slow and shambled, and they were killed by shooting the head.</p>
<p>Russo went on to make Return of the Living Dead and then 5 other crappy sequels to that.  His zombies sprint, eat brains only (yes that's where the term "braaaaains" came from), and they actually could speak and use police radios to lure people to them.  Also you can cut up a russo zombie and shoot it in the head and it will still wriggle around trying to get you.  Very scary.</p>
<p>So there you have it folks, you are now more enriched in Zombie film lore.  Use this knowledge only for good!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FHorror%2FZombie-Film-Facts.233953"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FHorror%2FZombie-Film-Facts.233953" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>10,000 BC</title>
<link>http://www.cinemaroll.com/Action/10000-BC.177779</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Rarely do you find a movie that balances effects with story. Most of the time it seems like the story takes a hit so the director can show off the most resents technology in special FX. Hollywood has become a battleground where bad action movies are nothing more then a series of lame explosions and bad cliche. This movie isn't one of those.</p>
<p>10,000 BC is a great story with sound effects that do not overpower the actors or story. All hail Ronald Emmerich. He joins the ranks of directors like Joss Whedon and Tim Burton as a great storyteller of our age. Let's hope the all-flash directors take the hint.</p>
<p>The movie fallow's the adventures of a young hunter who is on a mission to find the love of his life; a blue eyed girl named Evelyn. In his travels he raises an army and meets all kinds of beasts such as mammoths, predatory birds and my all time favorite beasts; the saber tooth tiger. Of course the worst beasty in the story is as always, man itself.</p>
<p>Though the story is a reach that tries to make a history where we have none, it doesn't reach so far that it couldn't be possible. It is a good story that takes place into account that different tribes would have different languages. With the well made CGI creatures and the lack of the typical cliche villains it still keeps you interested. If you haven't seen it I think you should, if you have watch it again anyway. It's worth the price of the DVD.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FAction%2F10000-BC.177779"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FAction%2F10000-BC.177779" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>10 Astounding Facts About Bambi</title>
<link>http://www.cinemaroll.com/Animation/10-Astounding-Facts-About-Bambi.102457</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Who hasn't heard of the cute, furry fawn, Bambi? You know the one with all the woodland friends like Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk. Today, Bambi is practically a household name to everyone under the age of five and, when you come to think about it, there must only be about 0.001% of the world's population who can honestly say they didn't cry when Bambi's mother got shot. But no matter how many times you've seen the movie, how much do you really know about the film?</p>
 <ol> 
<li>
<h3>Bambi's Beginnings</h3>
</li>
 
<p>Originally, Sidney Franklin thought he would make the story of Bambi as a real life film, nine whole years before Disney released his version, even going to the lengths of recording stage stars of the day, such as Margaret Sullivan, as the voices for the soundtrack. Yet common sense finally prevailed when he realised that there was no available technology at that time to deliver the film in the way he wanted. However, when Franklin saw “Snow white and the Seven Dwarves” he knew his dream could be created in animated form and he approached Walt Disney. The animator loved the idea and even though he was developing “Fantasia”, “Dumbo” and “Pinocchio” at the same time, he started working on the project in 1936.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>Bambi's Success</h3>
</li>
 
<p>Even though it is now probably one of Disney's best-loved and most remembered animations, back in 1942 when the film was first released, it was not an overnight success. In fact, it was a box office flop and didn't start to recoup the $2,000,000 it cost to produce until it's re-release in 1947.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>Bambi Footage in Other Films</h3>
</li>
 
<p>Disney was so taken with the animation of the birds, leaves and general woodland scenes in Bambi that much of it has been reused in other Disney films. The most reused part is the few seconds of Bambi's mother looking up from eating grass when she hears the killer hunters - this was used in hunting scenes in “The Sword in the Stone” and “The Jungle Book”. It also featured in “The Rescuers” and the opening scene of “Beauty and the Beast”. Bambi's mother has even been put with Donald Duck in a later animated short.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>Bambi's Use of Sinister Music</h3>
</li>
 
<p>Whenever the unseen threat arose in Bambi, it was expressed solely through the music. Disney used a low three note, repeating musical motif to imply impending violence that is a powerful psychological technique - Its effect was so good that later on in 1975, Steven Spielberg famously adopted it for Jaws.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>The Faceless Killer in Bambi</h3>
</li>
 
<p>Originally, the hunter who kills Bambi's mother was going to be an actual character in the film but Disney knew he would have to portray this character as totally cruel and evil and he didn't want to be seen as maligning all hunters in this way. Therefore, this character was never seen in the final version of the film. Ironically however, years later this off-screen character of “Man” which had never actually been seen on the screen was named as one of the 100 Greatest Screen Villains by the American Film Institute.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>The Killer's Identity</h3>
</li>
 
<p>It was meant to be revealed that Judge Dread was the person who killed Bambi's Mother in the film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” but while reading an early draft of the screenplay, Walt Disney's nephew, Roy, who was the head of Walt Disney Feature Animation at the time, thought the association was inappropriate. When the idea was discussed at a weekly Sunday meeting it was decided it would make more sense to hint that the killer was Gaston.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>Scene of Bambi's Mother Dying</h3>
</li>
 
<p>In an early draft of the script, Bambi actually found his mother after she had been shot, lying in a pool of blood. It was deemed, however, that the scene was just too graphic and harrowing for any prospective viewer and it was duly cut.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>The Voice of Thumper</h3>
</li>
 
<p>Before Thumper's name was finalised, he was called “Bobo” and was just one of the several young rabbits in the film.</p>
 
<p>Several children were auditioned for the voice roles of Mother Rabbit's children and when six year old Peter Behn said the line, “Did the young prince fall down?”, a casting director who was watching the audition in another room, shouted “Get that kid out of here! He can't act!”</p>
 
<p>The Disney animators, however, loved Behn's voice and called him back to the studio. The role of Thumper was created mainly because of Peter's vocal talents.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>Bambi Parody</h3>
</li>
 
<p>In 1993, Warner Bros. made a parody about the sensitive subject of Bambi's Mother getting shot, perhaps trying to suggest the whole topic was just too violent and upsetting for children. In one of their Animaniacs episodes there was a segment called, “Bumbie's Mum” where Slappy Squirrel and her nephew, Skippy, go and see a movie “Bumbie” - Bumbie's mum get shot off-screen and Skippy bursts into tears. Then Skippy gets even more scared during the forest fire scene. Eventually, Slappy has to pull a sobbing Skippy out of the movie theatre and then Skippy learns Bumbie's mum wasn't really killed.</p>
 
<li>
<h3>Bambi Controversy</h3>
</li>
 
<p>Recently, Bambi was criticized by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior for propagating the idea that the best way to manage the forest resources in America was to fight forest fires. The Secretary commented that controlled burning is now recognized as more beneficial and animals, such as Bambi, simply move out of the way of the fire and do not get hurt by them. The very fact, however, that the character “Bambi” was even mentioned in such a speech, shows how deeply and irrevocably that cute little furry fawn has burrowed his way into the public's heart.</p>
