It was a terrible movie story-wise. However, at least in IMAX, it was an eye feast. I saw in the theaters and it was a treat. I have zero interest in even Netflixing it.

First paragraph: better explanation than what anyone else has given me (which was mostly snobbery/elitism).

I entered User: admin PW:admin. I figured I had a 5% chance of that working. No dice this time though.

I certainly would. In fact, I'd try to get it posted on Facebook.

Saying primes make you better by "forcing" you to do without a convenience is like telling people to ditch digital altogether, because nothing teaches you more about exposure than developing film in your basement. It's outdated and absurd.

Handcuffing yourself doesn't enhance you, it handcuffs you. But congrats on doubling down on absurdity. Go enjoy your prime-fetish by yourself and stay away from the newbs.

So you protest such people by behaving like them? Does not compute.

Yeah, all those lazy people who can't be trusted with modern technology. You know what will really help people appreciate composition? Taking away their DSLR/ILC, giving them a film cam and making them process said film in a darkroom. That will teach them not to get lazy and lean on auto-white balance too much.

Of course, zooming doesn't do the same thing as moving closer. It does something different and different isn't less valid. I'm not arguing that primes don't have their place. I'm arguing against the kind of prime-snobbery that some of the other replies to my comment reek of, that primes make a photographer better by

If a person is "serious about learning photography" then they won't be "lazy with composition". You can't be both lazy and serious at the same time with the same subject. Either you're lazy, and you want the zoom because it's less work, or you're serious and you need to experiment with ALL ways of composing your shot.

Yes, however, learning that distinction is actually EASIER when you can compare a zoom and physical movement. Saying that "primes help you learn composition by..." is a misnomer, is teaches you one and only one aspect of composition.

I don't get this. A zoom, basically, keeps you from having to walk back and forth from the subject. That's it. Composition is something else entirely, and something that can be learned with a zoom. In fact, I'd recommend it, since all that movement is far more tedious, and thus far more likely to turn off an amateur,

The military created GPS. It was, and remains, a strictly USAF program.

A wall drop is literally taking one end of a cable and dropping it behind the wall, reeling it out until you can see it from the hole in the wall you cut out for the outlet/jack. You then pull it through and connect to the jack (guides to strip and wire an Ethernet jack are plentiful on the web) If your wiring is in

Fanboy? Quite the opposite, but I appreciate the use ad hominem in lieu of a substantive argument. I really just dislike that one movie and find it surprising that such "story/char-centric" people would write such a tortured, convoluted and illogical movie.

No it's not. The "type of behavior that characterizes Bears fans" is eating large amounts of sausage, getting drunk, and fetishizing anyone connected to the '85 Superbowl while wearing legacy jerseys of players who haven't set foot on the turf in 50 years.

"There's a logic and concreteness that has to exist with Chris [Nolan]. You can't just do stuff because it's cool. He demands that there be story and character behind all of it, which I'm a big fan of."

Paypal isn't free, at least, not beyond a certain point.

Hostess is dead. The brands and recipes, freed from a debt-ridden company saddled with the leftovers of a poorly executed leveraged buyout, and no longer bound by absurd union contracts, will be bought by a better run company.
