    Deathworld: Casting

    Although I love Tarantino's movies, I find him distracting as an actor. He always looks like he's trying to keep up with the other actors. gelder

    Dissecting movies - No Country for Old Men

    I hated Burn After Reading like few other "comedies". God-awful. And like Nick, I like Big Lebowski, but don't find it to be as engaging as many of my friends. I attended Lebowskifest here in L.A. one year (security guard and I talked for a minute and he let me in free), and watching it with...

    Thanks, Josh - yeah, can't complain if it's slow and good. If it was slow and crappy, I'd... Well, I probably wouldn't have mentioned it, actually... Never mind. gelder

    After four years, our review on FILM THREAT...

    I was searching for some reviews on line of past projects, and found this review for "Cabbie", which was just posted in August of this year - four years after the film was released. This also contains a link to the 12-minute online version of the film (the original festival version was 26...

    Tagline Idea

    "Killing Machines...that learned to love life!' Sounds like the tag line to some awesome 70s hippie/sci-fi flick...in a good way. gelder

    Tagline Idea

    You're welcome to use whatever you'd like for a tagline, but since you were looking for opinions, mine is that you're making a sci-fi adventure movie, and rarely does anyone leaving one of those go, "Man, those guys sure were vain to think they could travel into space and land on other planets...

    Tagline Idea

    But, vanity reads as more of a character flaw, to me, than a danger or threat. It's like having a movie with robot workers who revolt, and then saying that the greatest threat in the movie was man's laziness... gelder

    Tagline Idea

    Doesn't really grab me. Something being humanity's vanity doesn't sound ominous or threatening enough, imo. gelder

    Are a lot of comedies really degrading to women?

    There's a plethora of reasons why there are fewer women comics. One, is that girls are raised a certain way. They're encouraged to be nice, pretty, etc. They're not encouraged to be funny. Second, becoming a female comic is extremely hard. Traveling on the road to work (where you make...

    In Final Cut Pro, you can choose a "Dip To Color" dissolve, then change the color it dips to, to white. gelder

    Saw this earlier in the week - maybe some of the info will be useful... http://www.king5.com/video/featured-videos/Planet-discovered-orbiting-two-stars-129904038.html and: http://halfmoonbay.patch.com/articles/nasa-confirms-existence-of-planet-orbiting-two-stars gelder

    Are a lot of comedies really degrading to women?

    Comedy is based on a few basic principles, one of which is that it is funny to see someone, normally in a position of power, get their "come-uppance" or "just rewards". Seeing a woman get anally raped is not funny, because men can and do take advantage of women in such ways. It's horrible...

    How Should I Handle This?

    SinEater said almost everything I was going to. Definitely, don't give out a rough cut. If anything, as a courtesy, if you have some edited scenes with the actor(s) requesting footage that you feel are locked, let them have that. If a good scene gets out there, it might promote, rather...

    Why is the type of camera given more attention than DP skills?

    I know I'm late to this thread, but - you can use any HD stock footage with the RED the same way you can use it with any other HD camera, right...? The RED is HD; they are not mutually exclusive. gelder

    Kickstarter for my Series!

    Hey, Mike - nice Kickstarter project. I always appreciate when someone takes the time to shoot something that at least looks nice when pitching an idea. I went to your Facebook page and checked out the trailer - looks fun. I actually think the Kickstarter video could've used a little more...

    Brain Storming -- Building A Fan Base

    Facebook may have an even larger impact in the near future (and I agree with Papertwin - I think it's more than just getting messages out. I've seen people conduct the majority of their successful funding campaigns on Facebook.) ... I believe it's in October when they start offering their...

    Movies that switch gears midstream?

    It's a different vibe, to me - two different movies, but it's not like one is funny and one sad - they're both different looks at war - preparing for it, then fighting it. Both horrible in their own way, but very different. It's been a while since I've seen it, so I can't be much more coherent...

    Movies that switch gears midstream?

    "Full Metal Jacket" is like two different movies. Boot camp being the first; Viet Nam, the second. gelder
