September 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 22, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Anyone else watching Project Greenlight? The guy that won the contest is a dick but it makes great tv. One thing I'm it's him on is the look of film being better than the look of digital. I don't think that he is a dick, I just thinks that he is being really cautious with this being with first Hollywood film, look at the other winners of the show... they haven't done much. Out of all the seasons of the show he was the only person during the pitch meeting to say what he wanted to do with the film and bring up his concerns about the material, he's also the best filmmaker that they've picked out of all the winners. As someone who likes working with film and really, really, hates digital, its really cool to see him be passionate about shooting on film. One thing that is really disappointing to see is Effie Brown not doing her job, as a producer your job is to make the director's visions a reality. By her refusing to even pursue film or looking into the cost he is not doing her job. She is also not being accurate in saying that they don't have the money to shoot on film, because shooting on film if not cheaper, cost the exact same as shooting digital. I am curious to know when this was shot because I know Ben Affleck is a part of the Film Initiative that was started by Christopher Nolan and also includes Edgar Wright, Quentin Tarantino, JJ Abrams, Judd Apatow, Bennett Miller and Rian Johnson to name a few. The best reality show on TV right now (Thats not on Bravo)
September 22, 201510 yr The producers job is to stay on time and on budget. She's not the new directors advocate. The expensive part of shooting film is the processing and enveloping of it. Even the shorts I made in college were expensive because of it. Wish I had a projector to watch them again. They're probably awful now. I think it's weak to have the Farrelly bros as mentors. They're not exactly genius comedy filmmakers.
September 23, 201510 yr Finally saw Unbroken. Thought it was good, but a little long. I know it went in to great detail on his experience as a PoW, but I think that still could've been done without going 2 hours.
September 23, 201510 yr I was amazed when I read the grantland article reviewing the previous project greenlight winners that they all clocked in at like 70 minutes.

I couldn't get through the first two movies and never tried Feast. This season looks like it has its stuff together although I don't know if the movies will be in theatres or on HBO.

September 28, 201510 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) How dare you. I enjoyed the first one, but the sequel was unwatchable
September 28, 201510 yr Rowand watches one thing in that movie. Everything outside that one thing, does not exist

Seriously though, I thought PP2 was just fine. Wasn't the first one but I enjoyed it, I know a lot of people hated it though.

September 28, 201510 yr I thought pitch perfect 2 was fine. It's first 30 minutes weren't good but I thought it had a strong last hour.
September 30, 201510 yr "The Walk" was very good. Great visuals. I felt uneasy a lot because of my fear of heights. Comes off as more of a tribute to the towers than anything and that's fine.
October 1, 201510 yr ok, i am ready to get flame. i just saw straight outta compton and i like it. no matter what these guys, NWA really deserved a movie like this. not bragging or any of that, but it is a story of how it all started. very nice.

Why would you get flamed for liking an awesome movie?
October 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 02:51 AM) Why would you get flamed for liking an awesome movie? i don't know, maybe i was being silly at the time. i really enjoyed it and seeing the history. i never knew ice-cube was that talented of a lyricist .... i read up on where are they now on the google. that 1 guy who was always talking of getting laid, he became a pornstar and owned his own adult entertainment movie company. that is way to funny. that suge knight had about 500 mil + when dre left and thru all his legal battles and jail time he is now worth something like 300 K.
October 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) Yeah, SOC was great. If anything, liking it gives you street cred. i don't know how. but it was a great movie. they could've easily made this movie longer esp in the muz videos section and with tupac section. plus their aversion to being hooked up with any gangs images.
October 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 11:34 PM) i never knew ice-cube was that talented of a lyricist .... Do you not follow hip hop that closely? Cause if you do that's a pretty established fact.

October 5, 201510 yr I was not the target audience for Earth To Echo. Actually, I'm not sure that anyone is.
October 5, 201510 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) The Martian was solidly entertaining. yeah ... my family is going to see it again for the second time. they are catching the matinee showing.
