Ouch. I like the old layout better. Just hold the 'page dn' key to whiz down the whole page and see every movie available, easy as pie.
When i click on the rss thingy next to 'recent comments' i usually get a page of html code and have to click 'reload' (in firefox 3.6.11) a couple of times to get the proper page.
Is the LotR marathon out yet? *looks at watch*
I don't really associate long tracking shots with 'creative'.
To me, the way Tokyo Story keeps the camera at waist-height for the first half of the movie (because they sit on the floor in Japan, or something) is more creative than that 8min opening of The Player (which i like and hope DIF will do one day), which is cool and a tongue-in-cheek homage, but not really creative.
I'm not worthy either but here it is anyway.
1 - Rocky. When he runs up the steps during his jog he's being followed by the inventor of the steadycam. It's nothing now but at the time that was pretty slick. Compare it to Chinatown 2yrs earlier, in the scene were they find Mulray's body, the POV moves up a little hill which had to be hidden by 2 cops walking in front of the camera.
2 - The Passenger. At the end they dismantled a breakaway wall to let the camera (apparently) go right through a window.
3 - Contact. I know it's CG but when the girl runs to the medicine cabinet, etc.
4 - Raging Bull. When we follow De Niro into the ring the steadycam guy follows then sits on a crane and gets lifted. It's one of those things were you go 'big deal' after you hear how it was done but it was clever for the time.
5 - The Matrix. Say what you will about the 'bullet time' thing, it's creative.
edit: Aaand Eddie beat me by 4min.
It was his first feature film, how can the answer be no?
No! I never... just that one time... only if there's an 'R' in the month.
And it works now, weird. Shh, i'm reading.
Squig have you heard Contact, where they do really funny Ted Levine and fruit bat impressions? Now that's entertainment.
I did not know that.
1) Puppies
2) Cheese
3) 1973 Olds Cutlass
4) Isabelle Adjani
5) Lamp
Dude. *in the voice of Jerry Seinfeld* Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I just want you to know that if we ever get into really heavy combat, i'll be behind you guys every step of the way.
