Yes!! Well said! And that’s part of the beauty of MT: we can circumlocute, omit, insert – control the language any which way, all while staying on the tracks with the compelling visual.
I prefer to start with stills from a film as well before doing Movie Talk. The kids get less frustrated with all the pauses! One thing I try to do, though, to keep it fresh is to stop the story at a place that creates suspense. That way, the video feels like less of a re-hash because they’re waiting to see what happens. I’ve also used dictation and short readings to front-load target structures for a Movie Talk. It has the same effect as an embedded reading, with each classroom activity adding on to the last one, but with more novelty from the differences in input strategies.
I also can attest to the power of using a short film along with stills in a powerpoint. I used the one created and posted by Diane N some time ago, about the short film “Runaway” about a boy and his refrigerator (great overlap with Anne Matava’s refrigerator story from vol 1 of story scripts!).
If your computer does screen capture (shift, command 4 on a mac), then you can just drag those into a PPT. Not only can you project this, but you can also print it with say 6-9 images per page for a guided writing/speaking activity, much like Keith Toda describes here:

John had asked about other screenshots I’ve used, and I put them into a folder so I could share. There are PowerPoint slideshows from 7 videos. Most of the videos would apply nicely to any language; two have a Chinese context but could still work fine, I think.
There’s also a Word document listing the videos and links to them online.
Here is the link to my Google drive folder:
