Saw this a month or so back, it's good for what it is. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "District 9 and Star Trek abortion baby" thing that's been going on lately in every single gods damn indieish sci-fi movie lately. But it was fun, and I really love that actor, still one of my favorite guys on CSI.
Can't say I'm jacked about a movie, but we'll see how it looks once it gets into full swing.
Hey all, so I've been wanting to start this up for a good long while now, and I finally got everything together! So if you like minecraft or LP's or know people that do, pass it around. I'd appreciate comments or likes on the videos. 
There are three episodes up atm if you aren't sick of my voice after the first 
Cheers,
BDA
ROTFLOL!
A Shakespeare-ian interpretation of Pulp Fiction.
There are no words known to man that can describe how much I loved this!
Wow, thanks Dave. Now I have 2 things to look forward to being disappointed by. My day jut keeps getting better and better.
Here's one ",How to make an Indie Feature" and have Julian Higgins & Chad Peter on that panel.
This.
Beetlejuice for kids? Fuck yeah
*hugs movie*
Oh stop-mo, I've missed you.
It's still painful to watch, but more entertaining.
Gods damn sonuvabitch. That's what I get for having some semblance of a life.
It is now March 2012, I expect a movie.
You see cause the website says expect a movie by...march...2012...and now...it is...march...2012, and yeah whatever.
So long as we're accepting views from work. This is the view from the studio I'm at right now.
When we got a nice dump of snow a few weeks ago.
And what it looks like most of the time.
/Sorry for shitty cam phoneness of em, I haven't been able to get my real camera down there to take a decent pic of it yet
Hasn't he been trying to do that since like...The Abyss?
TThe trailer is doing nothing to relieve those fears. But it does look cool as hell.
That suprises me, the trailer has done nothing but relieve some of my fears. Namely I now know that Joss is at least doing the character dynamicss right, in that they each want to be the main character and none of them will give ground. And plus it looks like he's doing good with the action stuff, so I'm excited.
Trailer #2, released today.
Finally watched Synecdoche, New York. It was a lot like 8 1/2, in a Charlie Kaufman kind of way. I've liked Kaufman's other work, but I had a hard time connecting with it, as I did 8 1/2. The ending was effective, but most of it was an endurance test.
The only time I've tried watching Synecdoche was a few years ago, and I'm fairly certain I'd been up for about 48 hours at that point. So for about the last half I was fazing in and out of incredibly odd quasi dream states and the movie, and I can't really remember which is which anymore. So the last half is this incredibly weird mish mash of craziness. Although from what I hear that might just be the actual movie.
I havn't really had much of a drive to go back and watch it again, probably should though, I like Kaufmans stuff for the most part.
In the latest theme of threads prying into your personal lives.
What are you reading atm?
I'm about a quarter of the way through Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, in my attempt to read it before I watch any of the movies. And it's really really quite good.
I just started this one, but it already gave me something awesome. The phrase "rake of an arguement".
Nice one. very useful.
Anyways, back into it.
EDIT: Hey Teague, any chance of a full unglitchy version of that exposure rant sometime? Thats still one thing that aggravates me to no end.
The website is also real.

That was so epic. I am so ridiculously psyched for this thing now. If the whole thing is that good, we're in for something special.
You made one for me?! How kind. And it's in red!!
I don't even know what they are and I'm excited!

Kick-Ass, that was a good one. Iron Man, fair enough. But now we don't need any more superhero films. Especially not pretentious ones. There's a new Dark Knight film out this year. Calling Batman "the Dark Knight" is like calling Papa Smurf "the Blue Patriarch": you're not fooling anyone. It's a children's story about a billionaire who dresses up as a bat to punch criminals on the nose. No normal adult can possibly relate to that, which makes his story inherently boring, unless you're a child, in which case you can enjoy the bits where he rides his super-bike around with his cape flapping behind him like a tit. The scenes where some improbable clown-like supervillain delivers a quasi-philosophical speech are even worse, incidentally.
Tip: if you want to make your bad guy interesting and menacing and exotic, don't waste hours gluing prosthetic dice to his eyelids and giving him a name like "the Quizzlestick". Just show him masturbating into an oven glove while watching earthquake footage on CNN. Then you've got my attention. And automatically made a film worth watching.
And here we witness the douchebag in it's natural habitat.
The cell phone gut bomb, for example. He had to know 1), a cop was going to be in the room with him, 2) over power him and take him hostage, 3) hope the gut bomb guy would be in the same cell he was taken to, 4) that he wouldn't be taken to a hospital sooner, 5), that he would be close enough to NOT get blown up when he triggered the bomb, but that everyone else would be knocked out, 6), that he'd even get the phone in the first place.
You're missing the part where the Joker has his (and the mobs) goons seeded throughout the entire police force. I think they could have managed to swing a couple things to get the plan to line up (See previous post about plans)
The only plot holes I can ever find have to do with the Joker's actions. He claims that he never has a plan, but everything always manages to work out in his favor somehow. .
And frankly anyone who actually believes anything the Joker says about himself deserves to be caught up in whatever fire and hell storm anarchy he manages to incite.
It's pretty clear throughout the entire movie that the Joker has a pretty solid plan, incite fear, chaos, and anarchy by turning gotham against itself. He thinks it's frickin hilarious (Joker...funny....eeeeh, there we go) He did it to Harvey and he tried to do it to the good people of Gotham city, but they showed him they wouldn't fall as easily as he thought. And that sinceeerly pissed him off, because things weren't going TO PLAN. And then right as he was about to blow them both up, Batman swoops in.
I never had a problem with his voice. Ever.
So you sir, are WRONG.
I might be the only person who doesn't hate the growly batman voice. Not really sure what else they could have done, really. Put on a Batman suit and affect your voice so people who know you won't recognize you. Your first instinct isn't going to be to pull an Elmo voice. It'll be to go lower. They may have gone too far, but it doesn't bother me so much. Same with Bane in the new trailer. I understood everything he said in the trailer, and I thought the vocal effect was cool as hell.
THANK YOU!!!! Finally someone else who gets it!!
Also, it's a little sad how an entire generation of twenty-somethings seems to have learned the ins and outs of proper storytelling by studying why TPM wasn't it.
