As Wookie said, the process of getting a film made at all is a statistic miracle compared to the attempts, since so many factors have to line up ahead of time. Investors won't put money in a movie unless there's talent involved, and sometimes the talent is only available RIGHT NOW. And as much as we consider movie…

The edit in the article is neutral enough to me now. Obviously no way to know for sure but I feel like if I read that it wouldn't have raised flags. Sorry to belabor the point, i appreciate it.

This is me: [www.imdb.com]

I think it was more Soderbergh and the studio (the Wikipedia page for the movie explains it better, mainly sounded like SS wanted to make a weirder movie and the studio was already skittish about having a baseball movie that didn't have much actual baseball in it).

Good question. I'm sure he has a bigger chunk of the back-end if he also produced the film, though I actually think he only acts in films in which he's a producer on at this point, so it's a moot point.

I mean, if two guys who are involved with the film industry are trying to explain to you that the context in which you make your statement create an overall unnecessary implication regarding reshoots, perhaps you should take it seriously?

As a film and tv professional in hollywood (with many friends and coworkers in the same industry), I know for a fact that they all do (TV is different because of its quick turnaround, but even they do). The only ones that don't are ones that are so rushed to a release date or have prematurely run out of money, both…

And that's why he gets consistent work. Same with David Fincher, who has a clause in his contracts that guarantee him final director's cut of the film as long as it remains under a specific running time. It's a matter being smart about how to get your vision on screen while still keeping the execs happy enough to give…

Actually (and this is speaking as a film professional), both your statements are only true when it comes to the major outliers. Every film especially ones with lots of characters and plot and setpieces gets rewrites even in post production, leading to reshoots.

Please correct the statement: "Reshoots are common enough with major films." EVERY film has reshoots, and as such is not a clear cut indication of its final quality.

That's annoying to me too but the thunderbolt port can connect to a port that would have firewire, usb, ethernet, and dvi.

Oh, I forgot to address your earlier point about how much punishment is appropriate... the answer is I don't know. The cost of the item pirated is tough, because so far litigation against users have been regarding distribution of the item, not strictly is download (as much money as they're throwing to lawyers they…

You're not jumping all over the place at all. It's likewise a pleasure to have a reasonable conversation about this, and again I want to emphasize that I think we both agree about this more than we disagree.

(I understand numbering my comments may seem antagonistic but I just wanted to make sure you knew I was referring to specific parts of each of your argument)

Odd request, but who would have a recommendation for a Gizmodo-alternative blog with the following conditions:

I don't disagree with the fundamental thrust of the progress being done here, because knowledge is always good, but those who say this type of technology can't possibly be conclusive enough to incite definitive action among parents (to abort) seem to overestimate parents' rationality when it comes to information that…

I totally understand and it's not like I'm absolved of this myself (I posted like 5 youtube links to rare Beastie Boys songs after Adam Yauch died), but it just seemed to me a lot of times people were posting this type of news just to be the first one in their circle to post it, to get the credit of being the first…

I have much less of a problem with most of the things you have a problem with than people posting their own comments about such and such famous person's death, or sharing the same meme 1 millionth time. THOSE seem to me like much worse "hey look at me" moments because they're not really anything to do with that…

Thank you for your well-balanced answer. Replying to promote.

The free market economy does not fully account for a system in which obtainment of the item outside of legal means outnumbers legal purchases.
