I don't get any love? I'm in the trailer too, everyone. I'm the hot one that's destined to have fan-fiction written about my brief appearance once the movie comes out on DVD and people can pause it and jerk off to my visage.

I'm just looking forward to more CG and shit that's different from when I was a kid.

I don't know much about lower-end cameras, but the Canon T2i seems to be what the kids are into. As I understand it, it gives you image quality similar to a 7D, but for around $800. Can't beat that.
For about a year almost everything I shot was on either a 5D or the RED, and in the past 6 months or so the 5D has surpassed the RED by a long shot. I'm not talking little shorts here and there, either. I'm talking commercials and features. The rolling shutter can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but it's not usually a problem unless you're handheld on a non-IS lens longer than a 50mm (which might be a 35mm on a 7D or t2i, I don't know the lens conversion).
You can go ahead and buy a camcorder, but a camcorder is not going to teach you anything about focal length or depth of field. Those two things are very important when you start shooting on the big-boy cameras, and I don't see why you would wait to start learning them.
I don't know much about the workflow of the DSLRs, even though I own one. I'm not a post guy. I think it's relatively similar to most cameras that shoot on cards.
As a final bit of advice, I'd buy a shitty light meter and start metering things as you shoot them. Not so you know what stop to set your lenses at, but so that as you progress and start to determine your style you'll be able to look at your footage and realize that you generally like a 2-stop difference between key and fill, a 4-stop difference between key and backlight, that sort of thing. That way when you're on a set you can call for your scrims and nets with much more efficiency, which will save you a ton of time.
That's all I got!

Is Ghostbusters 2 the one with "Ninja Rap" in it?

I enjoy the wording of "letting it walk". As if there's some mysterious force hindering the movement of NYC landmarks.

What are you talking about? No one would ever replace Charlton Heston with Marky Mark! That's crazy!

Hehe... "crazy-pregnant" because she's getting big, or "crazy-pregnant" like OH MY GOD! GET ME NINE DOUGHNUTS RIGHT NOW?!

If the scene was remotely watchable, it probably wasn't from the third movie.

The wife passed out, so I'm watching SINGLES. Kinda reminds me of a Bertocci flick...

PS -- Is it just me, or do the majority of actors/characters in quirky flicks from the early 90's seem like giant douches?
I'm actually not surprised that you didn't dig TAXI DRIVER. Not that I know you well enough to tell you shit about yourself, so don't take it that way, but you don't strike me as the type of dude that's constantly repressing urges to fight people.
I think the movie might appeal more to those of us who feel like their drowning in a sea of fucking morons and indecent ogres, and the only life raft has Smith and Wesson written on the side of it.

PS -- Just finished up RICHARD PRYOR ON THE SUNSET STRIP.
Taxi Driver is hard in my top 10. Hard.

I still want Tom Waits and Ron Perlman to make a buddy picture together, even though it would be the song that brings about the end of the Earth.
Haha. I know someone who's writing that movie as we speak.
- Branco
I'm surprised that everyone is getting so worked up about the last shot. Does it really matter? The character arc is over. Dream or not, he's clearly happy.
Secondly, the freight train was accomplished by covering an 18-wheeler with a train prop. Fucking. Awesome.
I also felt nothing for the characters. Couldn't care who lived or died before the last 20 minutes of the movie (aside from Joseph Gordon-Levitt on account of his being so sharply dressed).

If I'm not mistaken, the FOUNTAIN theme was used in the trailer for I AM LEGEND.

I just saw this because my girl wanted to. Holy shit was this movie bad! Like, I can't even describe how bad it was!

I'm really really surprised that UP is so low on everyone's list. That movie is so far and beyond anything else Pixar has ever done for me!

No, don't tell me.
Screw you, Brian, I'm GOING to tell you!
It's when you kick and punch.
Heh. You mean like an angry kid with Downs?

Are we talking about getting stuck in your head in a, uhh... **whistles twice** kinda way?

TS3 just didn't hit me. It didn't hit me NEARLY as hard as UP, where I was a grown man sitting in a theater wiping tears from behind his goddamn 3D glasses.
Nobody take this the wrong way, but what exactly was in TS3 that made it so emotionally powerful? As Fig mentioned, I had some issues with the fact that it was essentially the same plot as the first two, but aside from plot beef I'm just not sure what was in that movie that people connected to so deeply.

EDIT: To answer the question, I'd go TS1, TS3, TS2.
Can we just turn this thread into a LAST DRAGON quote-fest?
