I want to make clear I am not a fan of Spider Man as a character.  I rarely read his books (same with Supes) but with the exception of 3, I quite like Spidey on film.  Iron Man has had a way better translation, though.

There are tons of production companies that still use Avid.  The Assistant Editor talent pool is rich here, but surprisingly fewer AE's know Avid that well.  If you're staying near by, I could give you a refresher course on FCP and tell you what you would need to know as an AE or cutter.  I might have some work I'd be able to kick you down at my company, but nothing concrete yet.

HA!

We said we'd probably end up doing it, but I don't think anyone committed to a time.  My wife is about to poop out our son, so I would miss it if it were now.

Yeah man, you gotta come correct.  Start cold calling NOW.

1)  Without question, Yakima Kanute's climbing under a moving Stagecoach during "Stagecoach."  If you haven't seen it you're missing out.  Greatest there ever was.

2) Bullit, the car chase scene.  I count it as a stunt in the amount of drifting and jumping that McQueen performed himself.

3) Tony Jaa's Fire Legged flying knee from Ong Bak.

4)  The Man Who Would Be King, Joe Powell cuts an actual rope bridge and swings from it.  No trickery or gigging, just an actual rope bridge over an actual ravine.  Breathtaking.

5)  Tony Jaa doing another flying knee, this time onto a woman hanging from a helicopter over Australia.

Next, top five albums you listened to in 2010.  Not that came out in, or you bought in, but just ones you listened to the most in 2010.

And oh man do they....

Aside from the hamfisted love story, and out of nowhere patriotism in the end,  Caine Mutiny is a vastly underrated movie.  There's some real moral ambiguity going on and Fred McMurray shines.

Maltese Falcon is in my top 20 of all time

My favorite Coen Brothers are Blood Simple and O Brother Where Art Thou.  I think O Brother in particular would make for a good DiF.

I recently suggested 24 Hour Party People because I think Teague would lose his mind for it once he sees it, as any good music nerd does.  It's absolutely insane, and it has to be to capture that period of time.

KARATE KID

I confuse Jerry Weintraub for Fred Weintraub.  Very, very different movie producing Jews.

I blame the editor for not making that clear.

Um, what's happening?
