    Use of Copyright Material

    I just worked on a short that used a clip from the public domain film "Detour". Honestly, there's a ton of stuff that might be worth checking out. Also, GuerillaAngel, I tend to disagree with you on that point. See: Every French new wave film ever.

    hamlet 2: A goofball comedy with a cliche story and a weak ending. It was pretty funny at times, though. 4/10

    P.T. Anderson's "The Master" This is one I've seen before, but it's sooo good. Honestly, I think that Freddy Quell is the best character that Anderson has ever written (Yeah, that includes Daniel Plainview), 9/10

    To be fair, general audiences aren't particularly discriminative when it comes to movies. Also, the man from nowhere is a great movie, but not really remotely comparable to something like Brazil.

    How was it boring, though? I mean, it wasn't... like... a Bela Tarr film or anything :/

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    To each their own, but brazil is in my top ten films of all time. Robert Deniro wasn't in very much, but that's not really a problem with the film, just the way it was marketed. I didn't find it boring in the slightest, or too long. That's like saying 2001 is too slow -- it's not a fast paced...

    editing What's wrong with this audio?

    Yeah, I certainly can't hear anything. I'm going to guess that it's an issue with the speakers?

    Something I noticed about Paul Thomas Anderson

    I'm not talking about a merging of A and B stories. Often, when the character leaves the group, said group is scarcely mentioned until the reunion happens. And, most of the film usually has the protagonist with the group. It's not until perhaps the last quarter of the movie that they break...

    Something I noticed about Paul Thomas Anderson

    For starters, I'm not trying to criticize Paul. I actually think he's the best writer/director working today. But there's something that I noticed he does a lot. It involves the way he concludes his films. Generally, the main character reunites with another character or group towards the end...

    That's fair, I guess. I'll try not to be so hard on myself. And I am proud of parts of it. I agree on this point. That's really good to know, actually. Thanks! I felt like the edit wasn't very smooth in that respect, but couldn't figure out how to fix it. I'll remember to talk that into...

    Title First or Title Last?

    I can never come up with titles. I start out with a crappy script, which repeatedly gets re-written until it's not crappy (and usually much more complex)

    plot How do you write plot turns without coincidences?

    Take the planet terror route! Seriously though, it seems like it would be hard to write like that. Go where the story takes you!

    quick question about using more than one audio device

    Hi. I was wondering if it's at all easy to integrate the sound from multiple (types?) of audio recorders. Like, if I record room noise on something like the zoom (is there a word for those sorts of devices?), then do dialogue on a boom, will I easily be able to seamlessly put both of those...
