Birdman is shot in a way that makes it look like the movie is all one continuous shot. That means the camera was always moving, often quickly, back and forth.

They'll be rebooting once a week! After six days and 23 hours off the air, you can enjoy the latest rebootisode!

Sorry to be pedantic, but if it’s resuming the existing GG continuity, it is not a reboot, it’s a revival.

If you get the proportions right, then, yes, absolutely.

So, when she pair the word "liberal" with the word "elite," does... does she think that means some specific thing? Does she thing she's conveying any meaning at all?

Sorry, I posted without looking to see if other people had said exactly the same thing.

In fact, the character is still called a pound sign. It’s only a hashtag when it’s being used to code metadata.

Because the image has to immediately convey “hologram” to the audience watching it. We don’t know that diegetically they actually look like that to the characters - that could be as much a distortion for the viewer’s benefit as the fact that Basic is identical to English.

The performing arts can be viewed through a post-modernist lens, the same as any other form. Regardless, I agree that, in most mainstream performing arts, there are things that can be defined as “good” and “bad.” But, while there may be good and bad, but there is no “best,” and there is nothing but harm done to the…

Not trying to defend the obnoxious behavior, but I will say, yeah, while on public transportation, I've had to shift my torso around to avoid being squeezed by people apparently basing their seating selection on the width of my hips/legs.

For me, multi-colored serials have to be eaten multiple colors at a time. If my spoon comes up with all one color, it feels like I'm missing the point of the cereal, and I have to re-scoop.

Darn it, I decided not to post my comment mid-way through typing it, and forgot that Kinja is terrible and hitting "Cancel" does the same thing as hitting "Publish." Still not gonna post my original comment, because it wasn't going to add anything meaningful to the discussion...

Starred because I was right in the middle of listening to the last verse of “Ode to Billie Joe” when I read your comment.

Yeah, I cannot read “smh” as anything but “so much hate.” Maybe that says more about my disposition than my age, though.

My wife really wants to see this, and I really want her to sit down and watch Throne of Blood, so maybe we’ll make this a weekend of Macbeth adaptations.

I’d like to quote your entire post on FB. Shall I just attribute it to your handle?

But why should financial self-interest trump every other issue?

Re: “I wish I could see this again for the first time,” that makes me think of the time in my mid-20s when I found out that a friend not only hadn’t seen Psycho, but knew literally nothing of the plot beyond, “somebody gets killed in a shower.”

The owner of the building I work in has a monthly newsletter posted in the elevator, in which she typically says a bunch of clichéd things about "the new season upon us" or whatever, then ends with an "inspirational" quote. For the last couple of months, the quotes have been Deepak Chopra word salads. I generally like…
