Love Vince and his show but saying that "those who made it" would get more is clearly overlooking the way people are paid in TV land. He means "those above the line" would have made (a little) more.

I just came in to say that if I ever saw Stan Lee on the street, I'd fucking shank him and whisper "Jack sends his regards" in his ear.

Drinking Jack Kirby's blood might do that for you.

"Oh God, please kill me. No, shave me, then kill me."

If you have a headache in the next five to six hours, please consult a physician because I am scanning the fuck out of you and your head is about to blow into a billion fragments for that statement.

It's all teaching kids about the merits of dog fighting to me.

I haven't seen it yet so I probably shouldn't comment, but from what I've seen from the trailers I doubt that it was mostly handheld. Snyder's modus operandi is to bring everything to the table, so while there may have been hand held shots (like in Suckerpunch during the trench sequence) it was most likely a mix of…

Different director, the next one is Francis Lawrence who directed Constantine (a film I loved but the mixing is gutwrenchingly awful) and I Am Legend (which wasn't very good IMO, high concept, low payoff, no real connection to the source material).

300 is absolutely chock full of grain, I should omitted that one but I had forgotten. It wasn't shot in broad daylight at all actually, it was shot entirely on a sound stage in artificial light which explains that. I like the look in that film as it reflects the source material to me but I remember sitting in the…

Nope, they are still actually sorting it out when it comes to digital. I've seen a couple of features recently that were shot on RED and they still have grain and artifacting on artificially lit scenes, it really does depend on how much attention to detail a dirctor wants (usually every bit of that are scrubbed from…

I can't really recall much from the film but I think many of the camera issues people had was that it would radically shift from one to another, most of the sit down dialog scenes were fairly straight forward but the action would often get frenetic. I think this was an artistic choice, maybe not the best one (people…

It sounds like it was removing wire and green screen so yeah those shots would be easy because the set is made up to work that way and that isn't taking 3D modeled objects into play. But if you are compositing for something lower budget that doesn't have a ton of money to properly construct a set that is going to be…

No it makes VFX a nightmare since tracking is at times 90% of what you are doing depending on the scene, I watched Master And Commander last night and I was struck by how most of the shots dealing with sky as an element were locked down while anything below deck was fair game (by locked down I mean on a crane, jib,…

Again I recommend looking at times that it does work and adds to a scene. As I said, I haven't seen a set of singles or twofers (single person in frame, cut to another single person in frame, semi close up or full) that isn't shot off of the shoulder for the past couple years (actually Breaking Bad, a show which used…

I love that people get so immersed in films that they literally forget what they've seen at times but the next time you are at the theater log the number of moving shots you see. I can garantee that in this day and age almost every film is shot this way, its just a matter of how present it is in the camera work.…

Before people come in and start knocking "shaky cam" as being a cheaper way to shoot or somehow artistically less worthwhile than other styles of cinematography, it simply isn't true. When you shoot in this manner you are still running slate, still checking the gate, and more or less doing the exact same thing to…

Forgot one.

I love it when people make very obvious conclusions (more people live in cities = more war in cities) and then proceed to frame the entire argument from there. Also it should be noted that calling something a "geographic fluke" is just covering your ass for other broad based assumptions.

I can assure you Tom was crazy before then.

I'm curious, whats old? If it's the Strike Distance joke then I'll happily change it to a Sudden Death reference instead.
