Thanks, guys, for taking a look. Doc, what's your email? Shoot me an email at ericbranco at gmail. Thanks!

I'm in a (friendly) dispute with another producer, and I need some fresh eyes to watch a tiny piece shot at the Occupy Wall Street protests. We're both too close to the project, and we need the opinion of someone who wasn't there and doesn't know what other footage we have.
I don't want to post a link publicly, but anybody interested?

He used to write movies in the 80's, but he killed himself after years of producers calling his office asking to CUMMON, ETHAN and then giggling.

I don't even think you have to do that much legwork to understand the characters. It's all right there for you.

Okay. I loved this movie as well. Before you go trashing it, realize that this was supposed to be a Hugh Jackman vehicle from the director of DOOMSDAY and CENTURION. Just keep in mind what this movie was supposed to be, and what it became instead.
Also, the main character of NO COUNTRY isn't Josh Brolin. It's Tommy Lee Jones. The movie isn't about whether or not this guy will get away with the money, it's about how this series of events changes the way an old school cop looks at his job and the world.

Generally, if you're not going to profit off of the movie you're okay. There could be some issues if you show the film at a festival and someone recognizes themselves, but I'm not positive what they'd be able to do legally. Anyone know more about this?

Holy shit. Phil Tippet's beard is the most awesomest thing ever.

Really? Sandra Bullock in SPEED? Anyone could have played that part and it would have been the exact same movie.

Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden.

Didn't they make several eXistenZ flicks? Maybe it's in once of the sequels?

I'm not sure Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry are actually good directors. They both got came out of the gate strong (Being John Malkovich/Human Nature), then got hooked up with AMAZING scripts (Adaptation/Eternal Sunshine), but haven't really done anything great since (Science of Sleep/Be Kind Rewind/Where the Wild Things Are/Green Hornet).
Their music videos are great, but their features average out to pretty mediocre.

So do Newark and Jersey City take over as massive cities in this world, or is it like real life where outside New York there are just small pockets of civilization trying to scrape by?

For what it's worth, I haven't seen anyone in New York cutting on anything but FCP in the past 5 years. I would see Avid before that here and there, but I've literally NEVER seen a professional editor here using Premiere.
Producers are notoriously susceptible to hype and buzz words, so I imagine many editors will be hesitant to ignore the fact that their producers want to see and use the latest and "greatest" software.

DISCLAIMER: I'm a DP, and not involved in post in any way. What I know is based on stopping in to say 'hi' to producers and doing color corrects.
It's European. Mystery solved. Crisis averted.

The first movie that I have a distinct memory of being enthralled by as a kid was THE ABYSS. There was something just magical about it. It's also one of the first movies where I can remember thinking "This is new. Someone made this, and it's pushing the limits of what we can technologically do in film."
It's a hard question to answer with a single movie. There have been so many movies that have opened me up to different things. I'm just gonna list movies that have had a major impact on the way I think about moving pictures. Keep in mind that there are many many movies that I like more than some of the films on the list, but they didn't actually CHANGE anything for me.
ABYSS
STAR WARS
SEVEN SAMURAI
FIGHT CLUB
CASABLANCA
FORBIDDEN PLANET
LOST IN TRANSLATION
ANNIE HALL
PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK
TAXI DRIVER
SNATCH
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
SLC PUNK
MADE

I looked at this thread, and I was excited to rate my movies... Until I realized that I already had months ago. Boo.

I rock Brugal Anejo if I'm in the states, and Havana Club if I'm abroad. It's worked out pretty well so far...
