I like pictures that don't use a lot of score, lets the audience decide the mood for themselves. Was their a really nice and gory JFK bullet time scene?

Everyone make sure to get in their yearly viewing of Bad Santa.

The post 3D conversion never feels like it works all the way? Like on action scenes it gets blurry and I start seeing the illusion lines. Anyone else notice this? Is this a result of the method or just poor 3D conversion?

Got the lawyers to challenge them on that, wiseguy?

Link a sample of it?

So why exactly are you guys up on plasma and down on LCD? And why doesn't Best Buy even sell plasma anymore?

That's about what I would predict it'd be. Also I remember seeing SW7 at 9 in the morning (on a weekday) and the audience applauded at the opening roll. I've never been so embarrassed to simply be out in public.

Yeah forced activism can potentially get annoying but then on the flip side, anti-activism is silly. "I think minorities should stop pushing for representation therefor they should now have less representation" lol. I don't find dudes typing "SJW" all that unbiased.

I'm used to zooms getting darker when turned longer, I guess more specifically what I'm asking is, did these cameras allow manual exposure? Or was that considered unnecessary for broadcast cameras at the time?

Is the auto-exposure function on zooming just the nature of the lens? I've been noticing it a tad, trying to see if I can turn that off. Thanks.

This is an unpopular opinion, but I'd prefer a writer/director who didn't hold Star Wars near and dear take the gig. Sentimental attachment clouds judgement.

Who said Lucas is a hack screenwriter? I'm just saying that was probably the weakest category of his many abilities.

But wasn't Empire received better and not written by him? Then the next time he manned the typewriter everyone was upset? Storytelling and screenwriting aren't completely identical entities.

Lucas was a god damn genius, but not for screenwriting. Film making innovations.

I'm not going as extreme as Tyler about this but if you don't put out the seeds of challenging art then momentum never builds to trigger change. I want the cinematic universe stuff in its current form to end as quickly as possible.

Just be cool and walk out to buy $200 sneakers. 6/10 sounds about right, just like Force Awakens. Tons of budget to hire great individual talents, but no driving soul to make it explode on the big screen. I get more enjoyment out of the prequels simply because the original mind is bringing everything together and nothing feels like a fan film. Waiting for the big fantasy/big hero movies to enter their own post-modern renaissance where they follow Felicity Jones' character getting groceries but in the Star Wars universe so you could see the politics of the galaxy affect the common man. Like Tyler said, slap "Star Wars" on ANYTHING and people will see it. May as well go out on that limb.

Just like... don't do that...quite yet. See if you have an eye for it before you do anything. Entry level equipment is cheaper than ever.

The thing I hope everyone realizes is there are multiple different ways one can rise through the ranks to become the director of wide theatrical releases. Some better than others, but we'll let that bridge become a 6 page argument when we cross it. Whichever avenue you take, ensure you're extremely proactive, always available, business-minded, and remember to finish any projects you start. Don't call yourself good until others say it first. Then work to make sure they remember it. As for a degree, if you're not Mister Moneybags, try a technical school, or make friends who can teach you. Call me Kanye West but I feel universities are scams for most majors.

If there's a part where your interview is saying "And all the firemen rushed to take care of the problem" and you have footage of said firetrucks (not for that fire) I don't see much of a problem. I'd say the only time it's okay to show visuals which aren't directly displaying the current speaking subject, is when that "unrelated" footage is still taken from the general subject of the documentary. But never do footage which is both not from the subject at hand and not related to the current words playing on the speakers. You break both of those and your picture becomes somewhat of a parody of itself.

If you were looking to avoid a gas guzzler you could get one of those Volvos with the deep hatchbacks.

They forgot the first minute of the Good Burger intro.

I talked to the company and they have 30day return policy. When I bought my HL59 off them, the tube extending the viewfinder was cracked and they're sending me a new viewfinder for free.

Any of the B4 experts have a take on these three lenses? http://www.ebay.com/itm/152340502116?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/162307037402?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/182156765929?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Thanks in advance.

I'm not attempting to justify any dishonesty in asking this, but would it be fair to say a 1080p image would blow up very similarly to a 2K image if projected onto a large screen?
