Oners give me a boner.
Sorry, sorry, I've always wanted to say that here. Only DOOM might understand.
Oners - aka one-ers - is a not-used-enough slang for, well, a lot of things but among them, a single sustained shot, no cuts. It all started when I was little. Watching Shaw Bro & Golden Harvest exposed me to one-er - the kind of skill needed to do that with Kung Fu is inspirational. And after my extensive career in front of the camera, I know first-hand how hard it can be. When I was filming Season 2 of Man at Arms, my best line was 'penis'. That took like 300 takes to get perfect. You have no idea how many moving parts are in a long one-er. Well, maybe Greg does - but was there ever a one-er in any of his films?
Of course I mean a metaphoric boner. Thank you all for letting me express myself.
1917 is an incredible ride. Top DOOM recommendations with the added rec to see it on the BIG SCREEN. It is eye-poppingly cinematic, and spotting those digital one-er stitches is part of the fun. But overlooking the one-er masterpiece that this is, I found it very engaging from the start, a gritty edge-of-your-seat WWI trench warfare epic. Fools will compare it to Saving Private Ryan because it's a mission deep behind enemy lines to make a rescue, but that's like comparing M.A.S.H. to Apocalypse Now. Great action, suspense, and storytelling. I felt rewarded to see it in the theater.
As a weird aside, I just put together something about one of the stars - Dean-Charles Chapman. He was also on GOT as Tommen Baratheon. He was also on...Into the Badlands. I kinda blew him off. We had a chance to interview him, but that was at the very end and our reporter team was burnt, including our press rep escort, so no one pursued it. Maybe he went to dinner with us when I sat next to...omg Emily Beecham. Maybe? I don't really remember if he was there or not. Now I'm a little bummed because I have so little memory of him and here he is delivering an amazing performance in an incredible film. I'll have to look through my notes (here) and if I have any recordings. I don't think so.
