Grand Masti is basically Rape Culture: The Movie.

I think wearables have the most potential with health applications - microelectronics have finally gotten micro enough that we can pack all kinds of biometric senors into a package that isn't entirely unattractive. Who knows the kinds of advances we can make when large amounts of that kind of data are available? As…

I love my Windows Phone. People look at me like I'm crazy and ask me why I don't have an Android, but I did once, and now I'm on a phone that actually just works.

There are plenty of services that allow you to store your photos and such "in the cloud" (see: Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive, and some others I'm sure) that also provide means for uploading them automatically from an iOS device. External card slots are becoming less and less common nowadays as devices get…

I don't think that's "going Apple" so much as it is a necessary sacrifice for increased thinness/battery life. Sure, it doesn't make sense for power users, but that's why we have, say, the OnePlus.

But Marvel movies handle that MacGuffin scenario in a very specific way - not just in terms of plot but in terms of how they handle characterization and tone - and it doesn't really vary between films. I mean, you could see it as an interesting experiment, actually - let's see if we can take the same essential story…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was that even with productions shot on film, if they go through a DI, the final prints aren't assembled from the camera negatives but rather are just struck from that DI - because they're digitally color corrected? IIRC Nolan's the only major filmmaker who actually color…

Counterpoint: the vast majority of film prints screened in crappy multiplexes around the country were often poorly maintained, 8th generation abominations and the switch to digital actually, for the average theatergoer, was a net positive. Not that you're necessarily wrong - one of the last film presentations I saw…

If I'm not mistaken, the producers thought they knew when trains were coming so they didn't bother to get permission from CSX. I don't think Jones wouldn't have known about any of that, either, and it's not entirely unfair to assume that the $30 million production for which you work is following basic safety rules.
And…

The one that always gets me is the stabbing by the lake - it's a brutal scene to watch and the fact that they're CG stab wounds (not like you'd ever notice) doesn't take away from that at all; in fact, I'd say the fact that they're digital might have allowed Fincher to make it that harrowing…the stabs aren't…

All of the blood is a CG fluid sim, and pretty much the entirety of the Washington and Cherry intersection is CGI.

My go-to example for all of this stuff is still Fincher's Zodiac. It's the special effects film you never knew had special effects!

Actually, you'd be surprised how much CGI work isn't people "sitting at a desk clicking a mouse". I'm not sure how much this is done anymore but for a very long time CGI models were actually sculpted in real life and scanned in, and oftentimes animators use input devices (such as in Jurassic Park), motion capture, or…

That has to be one of the best dismissals of VICE I've read.

People love to hate his recent work, but Lucas has done a whole lot for movies - especially with catalyzing the whole democratization of cinema that's starting to happen - and I think this museum will be interesting.

You would think, but there doesn't seem to be as much of a single presence like Feige out in front making these decisions. In this case, the studio seems to be a bit more of a…phantom menace.

DISNEY EXECUTIVES, that's who!

Oh my goodness, not to sound all cynical but I'm actually kind of excited about this whole New Star Wars thing now!

God said, "Let there be light.". He never really specified how much.

It's really never mentioned how much a good villain death can improve a movie. I almost forgave Pirates of the Caribbean 4 for the gruesome way in which its villain died.
Almost.
