The Towering Inferno (1974)
Orange
I'm watching the Towering Inferno on UK TV. Has anyone noticed how orange everything is? In the office, the carpet, desks, chairs, wall hangings, the computers, typewriters, pen holders, signs are all orange. In Paul Newman's bedroom - the bed, phone, ashtray, seat, towels are all orange. In the generator room, the steel girders, the ladders, the workers overalls, the handles on the doors are all orange. The inside of the lift is brown & orange. Even the helicopter at the start of the film is orange. 70's decor - you can't beat it. I'm surprised the fire trucks weren't turned away because they were the wrong colour. The fire probably improved the tower.
2010: Moby Dick (2010)
Avoid at all cost
This is probably one of the worst films I've ever seen...and I've seen some real turkeys. Capt Ahab is in command of a huge nuclear sub, but the conning tower seems to be about 7 feet high. The sailors are dressed like marines. One of the crew wears a white head band on board, and a cameo one on shore. They drive the 600ft whale into a shallow lagoon and then the whale is seen swimming vertically towards the zodiacs. So the shallow lagoon must be at least 1200ft deep!!! Then a sailor steps off the beach into 1ft of water and the whale is hiding under the water looking at him. The whale even crawls out of the water, up the beach, over a hill & jumps on the sailors from behind. And the whale isn't even white. The CGI is a joke. The script is terrible. This in an insult to the original story. Avoid.
