And yet for The Fall it worked out brilliantly. Look up the Tarsem interview on this very site.

I understand your point, it just felt to me like it stated the punchline of every one of my 5 or 6 big belly laughs and even walks us through the 'surprise' ending.  It seemed like a summary of the set instead of a review of it or article about what makes it special.

Those "virtual program houses" were an actual VR file system view on those old SGI boxes, running IRIX, which is a UNIX system.  Google FSN fusion.  Not that anybody would play with the silly buttonfly demo when actually trying to accomplish something.
Ah, I miss those old boxes that cost more than us animators…

I'm glad I read this review after hearing the show and not before…the review is basically a list of all the biggest puchlines and moments, spoiling them.  You know the guy at the party who says "You guys should hear this joke, it ends like THIS, it's so great, tell it Tig!"

Funniest awkward dinner since Spider-Man 1 where Green Goblin is over at Spider-Man's for thanksgiving and Aunt May slaps and scolds him, and he starts sharpening the knives?

Bowie's state of mind during Station To Station led to the greatest paragraph on all of Wikipedia:

Bowie's state of mind during Station To Station led to the greatest paragraph on all of Wikipedia:

Yes, it constructs new frames.  And yes, there are artifacts.  The first time I saw it in action, I was noticing Neo's fingers tear apart and regrow when his hand changed pose too quickly.
For how it works, it's pretty similar to MPEG-4 compression.  Ever seen a glitchy internet video where a bad frame gets left behind…

Well, it's a solution to a problem that nobody can actually perceive.  The problem is the 120Hz solution is undone by most people not realizing their 120Hz HDTV is in its default mode of making up new frames to fit between the real frames, destroying everything.

The Blu-Ray isn't the issue, people are wrongly assigning the blame to Blu-Ray when the culprit is their TV's default setting where it creates new in-between frames, thus "raising the frame rate". The TV has sophisticated algorithms to make the frames "flow" into each other instead of showing one crisp picture after…

No Country For Old Men. Greatest adaptation I can think of. Completely faithful, nothing missing, and the Coens left enough room to add their own touches and actually tie the whole thing together a little better.

F. It's 60065 and upside-down 59009. Check your work, indeed.
