Twisted Pair - The Cinema Snob

[@flagrarus]

I love Neil Breen's humility: in the five movies he directed, he's only given himself six leading roles.

[@ndep93]

Leading roles, of which, he is merely a super-hacker CIA agent, alien super god, hyper-intelligent author, alien super god, and the wonder twins. Modest roles for a humble man.

The thing that kills me about Breen movies is how vague all the writing is. Like the man has no imagination so he just says a character was a "corporate businessman". Can't even muster the effort to just say something like "He was a financial advisor for ZooptyWoo Pharmaceutical." Somehow he has no imagination, while also having enough imagination to accidentally write the plot of Trigun.

[@Exospray]

it often feels like multiple scripts mashed together as well. Is the focus on the twin brother, missions from Aliens or the evil corrupt government conspiracy that Breen always have?

[@JIAroJIy4]

Wow, great job pointing to unintentional Trigun reference, would've never guessed myself (even though I love it).

[@ElFreakinCid]

Not to mention he always plays the same stone-faced hacker cyborg Jesus exposing vague government conspiracies.

[@konstance13]

It feels so much like stories I'd make up as a kid, where every job title is vague, scifi and fantasy and espionage are mashed into one, dialogue is on the nose or nonsensical, and a magic rock I found in my yard is a major plot point.

[@addicted2mako]

His imagination is similar to Diet Coke: there's just enough of the thing there to technically count, but not enough to actually be the thing

Neil Breen is a genius. Casts himself as twins so that he can make out with TWO actresses onscreen! Brilliant!

Neil Breen... The only actor/filmmaker that can make Tommy Wiseau look like Warren Beatty! I didn't think it was possible, but Neil Breen actually reached a new level of bizarreness. The bad slapping and jumping through the air scenes are what did it for me.

[@mightyfilm]

Wiseau at least has a enough of a level of self awareness that there's a level of fun somewhere. Neil Breen seems like someone who genuinely thinks he's a master in the art of cinema.

[@Edax_Royeaux]

@@mightyfilm I don't know about that. It seems like Breen's favorite movie are the old Steven Seagal movie where he fight corruption and saves the day with flowers, but he just doesn't have the budget or knowhow to pull it off.

[@mightyfilm]

That's probably it. Wiseau seems to have embraced the fact his movie is seen as so bad it's good and all the celebrity that comes with it. Breen sounds like he has a bad frame of reference for what a movie is, and if he found out his movies were a laughing stock, he'd go apeshit somewhere on the internet on everyone who laughed at these things.

[@DocZFlux]

Leave it to Breen to cast himself as android characters, but still having his character hook up with a woman young enough to be his daughter. Given that, and his range as an actor, you could call him the 21st century Warren Beatty. At least Beatty can direct competently.

There are interviews on YT to see. Plus there’s a ‘behind the director’ featurette from him available too.

[@Blue_Sonnet]

OMG Neil Breen is a cinematic genius! I just ran thought the special FX scenes in slow-mo and they're stuffed with little hints and clues, to help us understand the truth of the piece! For instance, at 3:50 he briefly shows two Neil's at once, after he's jumped to the window. Surely this is a clue to the fact that there IS no twin, he's just a mental construct of his fears and failings as a human being. By separating this aspect of himself into a secondary persona, he gains the ability to become "superhuman" - better than he was originally, stronger, smarter. He uses this perfect form to perform all the superhuman feats that we see. For a brief moment we see his personas collapse into one, which is the VERY SECOND he stops flying and decides to land. Whether it's done consciously or subconsciously, Neil is able to briefly collapse this dual-waveform of personalities in order to "deactivate" his Christ-like abilities and succumb to gravity. I also see that Neil's character freezes in place for a moment before flying, and remains completely still whilst using this ability. This must be done in order to properly synchronise both aspects of himself - once he's reached that perfect state, he most cease all movement and bodily functions like blinking, in order to maintain that perfectly synchronised, ideally harmonic form. Whilst he cannot move his body whilst in this harmonious state, he is nevertheless able to manipulate the space around him; clearly evident when he jumps, flies or makes white powder appear and disappear in a matter of moments. (BTW The white powder only involved manipulating a small area of space-time, so he only needed to harmonise with his other body for a matter of milliseconds - far too quickly for a normal human to comprehend). This may also explain why his oxygen feed was placed over bandages - one part of him had his face bandaged, whilst the other only had the O2 tube. In order to recover from his injuries, he had to merge personalities, causing the quantum waveform to collapse into a state where he was wearing both the O2 tube AND the bandages...

[@weeds526]

I thank the heavens that Breen has stayed "true" to himself and not devolved to lame self parody like Tommy Wiseau or James Nguyen did

[@badman3000]

Yeah but that just goes to show how self-delusion on you really is.

[@Chipiliro613]

Neil's purity needs to be protected at all costs.

[@Never_heart]

@@Chipiliro613 Honestly this, he seems happy making these, he does get money for them, and we get a solid laugh. Everyone wins. I really hope he stays blissfully unaware because it's probably better for him. Otherwise someone with his passion and ego and lack of competence probably would spiral hard if he figured it out.

[@umachan9286]

While Tommy definitely went self aware and it ruined everything he touched afterwards, James didn't. The problem with James is his actors were in on the joke so that's what made Birdemic II terrible when compared to the original. Instead of trying to rein them in from overacting or repeating gags from his first movie he just let them do it because he's a terrible director with no self-awareness. The man is literally still trying to create a romantic thriller.

[@cornbredx]

No no. Tommy Wiseau still has yet to accept what he is. Its the fan films he's in that do that. He still sees himself as an autuer which I may have spelled wrong.
