What connects the new One Direction 3-D concert movie and the later films of Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang, besides Kevin Bacon? Both are for-fans-only propositions that appeal strongly to a niche audience without seeking to broaden the base. We discuss the freedoms and limitations of making films for some and not for all. Inspired by the humorlessness of Elysium, this week’s second segment examines the leavening effects of comedy in action movies and what happens when they get too jokey. We also play a game called Parental Guidance Suggested, where the host throws out descriptions from the IMDb Parent’s Guide and asks the panelists to name the buttock-laden movie in question. Finally, Matt Singer and Nathan Rabin pitch their rapid-fire recommendations in 30 Seconds To Sell.
