Justin Roiland is incredible. That is all.

You see, I disagree - while I'm not going to deny there are differences, cinematically, between 2D and 3D movies (I'm assuming you're referring to stereoscopy when you say "3D"), the fundamentals of cinematography remain the same - lighting, lenses, camera placement. And even if Gravity is like 80% computer generated…

Holy crap that is fantastic. And really indicative of where CGI actually stands - I'll bet you there wasn't a single movie in 2013 that went into wide release that didn't feature computer-aided visual effects.

You know, the dismissal of Lubezki's work on Gravity as mere "CGI trickery" or what have you is really disappointing in light of the insane amount of work and innovation that went into that film's cinematography. There are a lot of online articles and such that go into why it's so groundbreaking (here's a good one…

You'd better Dance Yrself Clean first!

So the Grammys got me to check out that Kacey Musgraves album and I have to say I'm finding it absolutely fantastic so far. Those are some well-deserved wins.

At the risk of lacking the requisite amount of AVC snark, I'm going to admit that I'm genuinely intrigued/borderline excited. Say what you will about Zemeckis' movies, his skills as a technical filmmaker are pretty unparalleled and at the very least this should be awesome in a visceral way.

It bears repeating how utterly fantastic that Pierce Gagnon kid was in Looper. A bad performance in his role could have sunk the whole film.

Hey, don't sell Bruno Delbonnel short - dude's a master in his own right!

"…'great cinematography' is not the same thing as 'prettiest shots'"

Also, your shooting 16mm makes me so jealous. I somehow have an old 1950's Bolex laying around and I've always wanted to have some fun with that thing…

Well, Panavision's digital cameras have basically been rebranded Sony CineAltas (including the Genesis, I think?), and until recently Sony wasn't nearly as agile as RED or ARRI in the digital cinema space. Curious why the rebranding hasn't continued, though - maybe Sony figured they were a big enough name on their…

Wow, great finale (season or otherwise). Particularly of note was how Jenna ended up with neither Matty nor Collin nor anyone else - it's a statement for her as a person, for a girl in high school, and as a female character on television. That whole end montage was not just great writing but really came off as a…

A, definitely.

Absolutely. Raiders is an intelligent re-purposing of serial tropes while Temple of Doom is blind mimicry.

You know, a lot of people say that about the ending of Raiders, but personally I maintain that the real climax of the movie is the scene in the canyon where Indy's threatening to blow up the Ark. It's where all the personal conflicts that have been stewing the whole movie come to a boil. Everything after that is…

Fortunately/Unfortunately, vegetarian from birth!

Hey now, never said it was the best, just that it wasn't bad!

I currently go to school in the city, and while it's easy for my friends and I who have lived here our entire lives to forget, Atlanta is a *really* cool place to be, culture-wise. I feel like there are a lot of people that assume that just because it's in the American South it's some kind of backwards, redneck-y…

This sucks - I was actually really looking forward to this one! With that sort of cast you can't really go wrong.
