"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen
Yeah. That sounds about right.

Date: 2006-02-08 06:30 am (UTC)I've already claimed that Silent Hill does rely on the "things jump out at you" mechanic, in fact I think this is what allows reasonable translation from video game to film, although I would say that this mechanic does not relate to the nature of the tension. The mechanic works regardless of whether the "thing" is a nameless horror from beyond time, an axe-wielding serial killer, or a terrorist you're having a gunfight with. In fact, in a higher order sense, as the viewer of a film, any cut to a shot of the nameless horror is equivalent to it jumping out at you.
Does She's the Man feature a woman disguised as a man? Or maybe twins, or a shipwreck?
