There are many different techniques that filmmakers can use to enhance their storytelling, add or alter our emotions, or convey a message without dialogue. One of those techniques is the use of silence, or obstructed dialogue, or putting music or sound over talking to convey a feeling. Editor David Verdeure made an outstanding video essay for Fandor called “When Words Fail” looking at this technique, and providing a number of different examples. “The reasons for the use of this stylistic stratagem are diverse—they range from comedic to horrific, from wistful to suspenseful.” The video tries to give some potential explanation for each scene, but it’s also cool to see these moments and make whatever you want of them in your own mind. ›››

“What are we up against?” Wow! Want to get a glimpse at just how epic and gnarly the new Godzilla from Japan is? A new international trailer from the Philippines has arrived online featuring tons of extra footage of the giant lizard monster attacking and destroying cities in Godzilla Resurgence, or Shin Godzilla. We posted the full Japanese trailer for this a few months ago and it finally showed Godzilla in all his glory, but this trailer shows off even more of his deadly abilities, including some crazy destructive lasers coming out of his back. Starring Jun Kunimura, Shin’ya Tsukamoto, Satomi Ishihara and Hiroki Hasegawa. This definitely has a cheesy side to it, but I feel like it’s going to be so much fun to watch. Maybe? We’ll see. ›››

“It’s not because we wear skirts, it’s because we wear glasses.” Fox has released a trailer for a film called Hidden Figures, directed by Theodore (Ted) Melfi, a drama about the many African-American women who worked at NASA. The story focuses specifically on three of them, known as “human computers”, who helped worked with NASA in calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit (in 1962), and guaranteeing his safe return. The full cast includes Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, and Glen Powell, among others. This actually looks pretty damn good, more than anything it’s great to see this story about these wonderful women shown on the big screen with so much attention to detail. Take a look. ›››

Square Enix and Sony today announced specially branded PlayStation Vita systems themed around the soon-to-launch Final Fantasy game World of Final Fantasy.
According to a translation from Gematsu, these include the Primero Edition and the Oobito Edition. They are priced at ¥20,980, which comes out to around $207. As you can see in the images below, the systems feature imagery from the game on the back, including characters and creatures.





Included with both models is an original World of Final Fantasy theme, along with packaging that is themed around the game. The systems go on sale on in Japan on October 27 alongside the game.
You can click through the image gallery above to get a closer look at the systems and the special content.
People in Japan can preorder the systems starting today from the Sony Store.
World of Final Fantasy was announced at E3 2015 and launches in North America on October 25 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. A $120 collector’s edition has been announced for PS4.
Square Enix is positioning World of Final Fantasy as something of a gateway title for those unfamiliar with the mega-franchise while keeping its appeal with longtime fans. While it will star new characters, it is also chocked full of familiar faces from the series.
The game is set in the land of Grimoire, where all the Final Fantasy characters live. The two main characters shown in the announcement trailer–Rain and her little brother–are venturing into the world to battle against and befriend monsters. These creatures have been pulled from all previous Final Fantasy games, giving players a chance to do battle with cute chibi versions of Behemoths and even cuter chibi chocobos. The monsters featured in The World of Final Fantasy will come from the entire series history, including spinoff titles like Final Fantasy Tactics and Crystal Chronicles.

After its record-setting first weekend, Suicide Squad took in around $43.77 million at the US box office this weekend. That’s down a steep 67 percent and below expectations.
However, the DC Comics movie’s second-weekend dropoff is not quite as dramatic as Batman v Superman‘s, as that movie’s box office receipts dove 69 percent back in March for its second weekend.

Despite the dropoff, Suicide Squad remained the No. 1 movie at the US box office this past weekend, according to Deadline, which supplied all the figures. The film broke a number of records for an August release, in particular shattering Guardians of the Galaxy‘s previous opening-weekend record.
Suicide Squad has now made more than $465 million worldwide against a budget of $175 million, according to Box Office Mojo. A sequel is apparently already on the way.
The No. 2 movie this past weekend was the animated comedy Sausage Party, which cooked up $33.6 million for its opening. According to Deadline, this raunchy comedy “stole a big chunk” of Suicide Squad‘s holdover crowd during late-evening hours.
Additionally, it probably didn’t help that American Olympian Michael Phelps swam in his final races this weekend, which may have kept some from going to the movies.
Go to Deadline to see a full breakdown of this weekend’s US box office performance.
