I'll share a quick anecdote on this subject: A couple years ago I kicked my resume and reel around to a few places and got a call back from Entity Effects, who do, amongst a lot of other things, Smallville, which is a show I'm a fan of, particularly some of their effects work. I went into the interview, and we watched my reel. They asked me to talk about the work as it was shown, to explain it. They were impressed and said that they were interested in bringing me into a short-term freelance position and wanted to show me around. It was then that I realized they hadn't even touched my resume, and almost as a formality, flipped through the pages and glanced through it casually before standing to give me a tour of the place. I think this industry in particular is very much about your work and what you can do, and less about where you've been and how you learned.

God what I wouldn't give for him to make King Conan now with an older Schwarzenegger.

If Kubrik was known for anything, it was for taking liberties with adaptations

Well, that and tripping balls.

I'm reaaaallly starting to get sick of these 1-2 min fake trailers or just short films that don't actually accomplish anything other than get you to go "Man, the actual thing of that would be so frickin awsome!"

If you did a movie that covered the Gospels and the book of Acts, he'd die in the first half or sooner. Hmm, I seem to remember a mini-series called AD or something that started with his death, and was longer than most movies about Jesus.

As with most stories, it's all in where you start and stop.
