Here goes…

Short for Murphy, because it's the future, and, if we're naming our kids Madison and Dakota right now, then that's the direction we're headed.

Time is always relative. The crew will experience five minutes, the Earth 500 years.

I, writer of above review, grew up on Clarke and still own and read plenty of books with space stations on their covers.

I'm not big on Cooper either, but Man Of The West is as good as the Stewarts.

It's a reprint of the 2010 edition. Maybe the "many of Criterion's recent Blu-Ray upgrades" line is too ambiguous.

$300 million in the early 2000s dollars is the equivalent of just under $400 million today, so no.

One of the older slang terms still in circulation. Goes back to Shakespeare's day.

It's the same role. U.S. Marshals is the sequel to The Fugitive.

Eh, Kenigsberg's right, in that it's a kind of turned-inside-out noir. Anderson deliberately connects the whole thing with the post-war experience. And not to sound like an ass, but someone with a bit more than "a basic freakin' understanding of film history and styles" can recognize which movies he's borrowing from…

Y'know, in all of my years of being a hip, big-city millennial, I've never actually met anyone who had a trust fund.

Nope. Look, a production digital camera is a computer with a lens attached to it. When you're shooting to drives, you're essentially installing and reformatting them every time. Even a small production has to employ at least one person full time — a digital imaging technican (DIT) — to manage and format the drives.

Production-grade digital has to have media swapped out just about as often as you'd have to change film magazine. Red cards hold 11 minutes. You get more time with the Arri Alexa, but it only shoots in 2.8K.

Here's the thing: production-grade digital is also expensive. Above a certain budget level, there's no substantial cost difference between shooting either format.

Common misconception. Media for production-grade digital formats have to be switched about as often as film magazines. If you're shooting on a Red, most times the cards max out at 11 minutes.

Nope. Spatial(e) is the adjective for outer space, as in véhicule spatial (spacecraft), station spatiale (space station), etc., etc.

We most certainly have an "H." Garry is grandfathered in from 19th century Russian transliteration, along with Genry (Henry), Vashington (Washington), etc.

Whatever the truth is, it's confusing as hell.

Actually, the most interesting one was the once-common theory (since disproven) that neither Tang nor Filmark ever really existed, and that Ho invented them to make more money / movies while under contract to IFD. The theory went that when Tang Yan Gak died in a fire, Ho claimed that he had been Tomas Tang in order to…

Ho definitely worked for Filmark. Tomas Tang was Lai's longtime friend Tang Yan Gak, and IFD and Filmark pretended to be competitors despite being essentially the same company in order to scam foreign distributors. (Would those be your friends?) Godfrey Ho was their go-to director. IFD and Filmark's offices were both…
