Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted December 26, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted December 26, 2004 The DVD of Miller's Crossing, and a book on the Coen brothers. Not people whose existence had previously impinged greatly on mine, so interesting. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Michael Nash Posted December 26, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted December 26, 2004 The new DVD release of Top Gun. Great cinematography in a hokey, dated movie. What could be better? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filip Plesha Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 a refreshing thread.. -SW trilogy DVD set....been waiting for it ever since DVD became the home video standard. -A Buddha statue -ordered a set of Hedler light gels, still waiting for them. It will probably be more of a new year's present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles DeRosa Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Here's a question: One of the things I got was a subscription to Variety. What are the thoughts on keeping up with this side of the business as opposed to dedicating yourself solely to the art and technique of cinematogrphy. Granted for me as a film student in LA the technique and art is all i'm concentrating on at the moment. But my knowledge of production companies, on-going projects, writers, etc. is so limited and, like cinematography, takes time to become familiar with. Any thoughts? How much do folks pay attention to "the business" side of things. Happy holidays. chuck los angeles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Wengenroth Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Books: Operating Cinematography For Film and Video DVDs: Citizen Kane 2-disc special edition, Psycho, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Faith Restored (a chronicle of the Red Sox victory!) I also got a pretty cool Blue Velvet poster and some Jack Skellington stuff. Oh, and money...for the camera of course! As far as movies go, what are some of your favorite holiday movies? My dad is obsessed with the movie "Bad Santa", I am not sure why. He just thinks it's really funny. Talk about strange tastes. My personal favorite holiday movies are The Nightmare Before Christmas, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, and A Charlie Brown Christmas. I also like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. :D Happy Holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Pacini Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Here's a question:One of the things I got was a subscription to Variety.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow, you keep company with better-off people than I do! I hinted for an Aaton 35mm camera, but it didn't work. Got two watches (I'm gonna start registering like they do for weddings so this doesn't happen), a couple shirts, a couple books, a couple gift cards... Actually, I'm sort of sick of what Christmas has become; a big guilt-ridden shopping spree that everyone HAS to engage in. I saw a great Bizarro comic on Christmas. It has a picture of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the manger, talking with the three wise men, and Mary says "remember, the whole point of this is to promote shopping" Matt Pacini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
