This is a great idea. I actually hoped for something like this to happen, because I like to stick around in the chat room from time to time.

Yep, that's the most basic "tool" you need to get started in long exposure astrophotography. And if you want to shoot for like ten minutes without any trail, it won't be enough. With great focal lengths, after several minutes of shooting, you'll realize even the most expensive mount isn't perfect: periodic errors and stuff like this.
You're gonna need to set up a camera following a single star on an additional telescope and sending orders to the mount's motors to correct those errors. See what I meant by expensive field now?

Holy shit, I actually started writing a thread a few weeks ago about this. I'll find time sometime this week to finish it and post it here. Glad the topic came up, I didn't actually think there would be people into astrophotography here.

Same here, great short.

If I were forced to formulate a negative point, I'd say that the cut at 0:47 lacks some angle difference for the character's face, but I'm not even sure it bothers me in any way.

Anyway, I loved how the music keeps the same tone while the movie actually changes with the twist. It brings some funny irony.

Oh yeah okay. Makes sense. But what I'm talking about here is more like hobbies and things I would like to learn or get into than what you'd call other lives. The rule can somewhat be applied here too, because time will be what you lack, but it doesn't have to be a major issue either. For instance, I've been meaning to start learning the cello. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, although I think that in this particular case, money will be more determinant than time.

Mine would be more like a three years and a half plan (I'm in this for four years). I'm now at the middle of my first year at my VFX school in Montpellier, and everything's going fine.

I'm very passionate about what I do there and I truly hope it goes on like this. I can't help but be a little frightened about the near future, since things are going to get harder year after year, but I'm just so glad I found a school I like - and in which I do things that I love to do - that for the moment, I enjoy every moment of it.

Truth is, I've tried computer science studies before doing that, and I hated it. I basically spent two years wondering what I'd do next, and I didn't even pass the diploma. What's happening to me right now is a very nice change.

And then? What's to happen after my studies are done is pretty much irrelevant to me at the moment. I'm just happy I've found my path for now.

On a more personal plan note, my goal would be to :
- be a more active Youtuber; I'm an electric guitar player, and I'm very interesting in doing covers - as in, arranging existing musics from movies, video games and stuff, into something I play myself. I've been following some guys doing this and I think it's great. This is an opportunity for me to find an actual goal to my guitar skills, because I've played the electric guitar for six years now and I've never played in a band or did anything "practical" with it yet.
- get better in doing astrophotography. I actually thought about making it a post in the Creations section some weeks ago, maybe I should start working on it again. Long story short, I'm into astronomy big time, and also into photography - my biggest passion being the combination of the two.
- find a girlfriend. Skyrim is great, but come on.
- over 9000 other things. I'll add ideas here when they come to mind. I'm that sort of guys who want to do everything but never quite do.

Well, you need to know what you consider a movie worth rating here. Personally I can't help but having The Room come to mind.

I still can't tell whether Tommy Wiseau was truly serious about it or if he's the biggest troll the cinema has ever seen. This movie kinda has that tone that says he's actually been trying to make a movie, which makes it terrible, but in the mean time I can't really hate it, because it's so awful I actually enjoy it.

It's been a running joke for years (the movie AND Tommy Wiseau himself; his laugh still haunts some of my nights), but it looks like the guy thinks his movie is popular because it's great.

I shall be there, and I shall get drunk while watching you get drunk. Prepare for an ultimate chatroom of the epicness.

Man, that's awesome. I ordered that shuttle a few days ago. I can't wait. It looks so fucking huge.

I'm gonna make a video, and I'm gonna say a shitload of bad words in french in it. Oh yeah I might just do that.
