I'm with Doc and Drew.  This is in no way a movie ABOUT time travel.  This movie plays in that sandbox but its about a lot more.  If they had, as someone suggested, just been a movie about JGL and BW killing Jeff Daniels, then it would have been a far inferior movie for it.  I'll have more to say once I sit with it, but I found it to be a stunning piece of work.

Well...I can defend ONE thing there, my wife got a caesarian and she had staples.  They were....gnarly.

I saw Master in 70 as well at the arclight and goddamn did it look gorgeous.  They depth of field was roughly the width of a nose hair and you could see different PARTS of a persons face just slightly out of focus.  To me there is a strange, literal, alchemy with film that I'm not quite sure digital can be fully capable of replicating in my lifetime.   Not saying most films shouldn't be digital, and I dont hate digital at all, I just think there will always be a place for actual film.

Huh....seems we have an issue with our new image upload feature...standby.

I'm perfectly halfway between Teague and Dorkman.  I enjoyed long stretches of it, but it is absolutely hamstrung by some irreparable logic gaps.  It fascinates me because it begs a larger question: Do you like your sci fi grounded in hard science, and use the story to then commentate on sociological issues (The original Star Trek series at its best did this, as did many episodes of Twilight Zone) or do you focus less on nailing the believability of the science to pose even deep existential questions (Kurt Vonnegut was great at this, as were many episodes of Twilight Zone).  You can follow either path with mixed results, but I think the presence of Lindelof cannot be understated here. 

There's much to dig into on this one, and as always, I serve at the leisure of my DiF Overlords (DiFgeneers?).  If I see the Eddie signal go up, Rohan will answer.

It's weird I got billed as Eddie.  I usually put Edward down on my credits.  Huh.

If you can tolerate it being entirely in Russian, by all means go for it.

That's partially because at no point in the movie, do you actually hear Gina Carano's actual voice.  Her dialogue is 100% ADR by a different actress.

My first gig as lead editor was for Playboy TV, yes.  With that said, I have a few friends who have edited adult (and one old Jiu Jitsu friend of mine who was actually a big name porn director) and while it doesn't necessarily HURT them, it doesnt help either.  Its just not a good indicator of skill set.  Most porn is just very basic paint by numbers assembly, without much story skill really needed.  The shows I did at playboy were 1) a music video show hosted by Ed Lover 2) a scripted faux reality show that had only simulated sex, and 3) a Punk'd style hidden camera show.  If you removed the presence of boobs and taint, they would still be fully fumctioning shows.  So I didnt mind putting those on my resume because they still demonstrated skill (sorta).

I do believe that's the first Orson clap I got. 

BTW, I'm not the exception, either.  Most editors I know have families and are able to strike the balance.  Much better than I am, it seems sometimes.

Ive been dying to do a documentary commentary, but again, it really depends on the right movie.  Most of the discussion of ETTGS would revolve around content vs form, which is fine.  A movie with subjects like that should actually be slanted towards talking about characters.

I think for a good doc DiF, something that has a bit of a mythology to it would be slightly better suited for discussion.  Something like Dark Days (Director was a former model who moved into the underground homeless community out of necessity to afford his film) Hoop Dreams (where they literally roll camera for 5 years straight to get their story) E-Dreams (Access is 50% of documentary filmmaking, this is a good example) Senna (a film made entirely in post from acquired footage) or Life int he Cage (because...I made that one) have a lot more read meat in terms of HOW they came to be, in addition to what they say.

I will say, this insane stomach flu I just had will undoubtedly help me squeeze into the armor a bit easier.
