When I saw that about TDKR on the features I was pretty amazed. Just another reason why Nolan is that dude.
The Jurassic park is crazy.

I was reading some things about commercial crime insurance coverage. It involved forgery and someone making a trade in your name and how you would be covered
First thing that popped into my head was "plot hole" in TDKR haha

nolan is crazy with the effects,
he uses alot of old school methods that still hold up even to this day.
if you guys want to watch a good documentary check out side by side, its all about how shooting on film is now becoming obsolete.
they interview scorcese,nolan,boyle lucas and its hosted by keanu.
it is very interesting and touches on alot of subjects concerning todays methods of shooting.

Side by Side is very good. I recommended it after it was added to Instant. Very informative and narrated by the one and only Keane Reeves.

He loves beer.
Wolverine walking in to bars for a drink and eventually getting in to a fight is a thing.

What the hell kind of direction can they go with a Batman reboot? We already know it's coming in 7-8 years, but what story can be translated onto film well?

Less gritty and realistic.
Not cartoonish necessarily, but in a universe that could have the supernatural.

I wish the Batman Beyond stories would be the ones told next. It just feels right.

I never had any idea this whole film v digital debate existed.
I would of never imagined Lucas being SO pro digital as well.
Personally I can't tell a difference, and that's probably because I've never thought to see. Ill always be watching from now on wondering how "this scene" was made. Good stuff fellas.

Yes.
I can't even really form my own opinion on it, cuz Patton Oswalt nailed it.
Link
It's brilliant and grotesque and so damn American. Only in America is this story even possible. Every time this movie stopped to take a breath, I'm hearing Selena Kyle's words bounce around my head. "How did you ever think you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us." And it just challenges your own pathetic humanity. You suddenly understand how one of these guys could get a golden parachute and still act like they took an L. I mean...he made Florida 2000 happen. But still...I felt disgusted with myself that I was starting to feel bad for these insane people. Those kids. This movie.
Top 5 of 2012 for now (still catchin up, esp w/ docs)
It's a 9.5/10 for me....Michael Moore wishes Capitalism: A Love Story was as deeply affecting as this.

You likely can't tell the difference because modern digital has gotten a lot better, as the movie explains.
I'm split on the issue. Digital is a great tool for the democratization of filmmaking. A lot of great movies would never have been made if there wasn't access to cheap, digital cameras. It puts the tools in the hands of filmmakers easier and cheaper.
I do think there's something inherently more interesting with film... and not relying on a lot of digital effects. Especially in the editing room, being able to manipulate colors in such a way, it makes it so easy. Easy can be good, but when you don't have to work as hard to achieve your end goal, that can also make you lazy.
I hope film never goes away and the directors who want to use it, can do so easily and without hassle. Digital is great for beginners, for high level directors who embrace new technology, or who recognize when smaller, lighter cameras can give you options you didn't have before. I'm sure in the future, digital will be able to replicate film as much as possible and you truly won't be able to tell the difference... and those who worked their whole lives on film will be replaced by directors, DPs, editors, etc. who worked their whole lives on digital and film will become a niche choice.
In the end, I hope both options exist so filmmakers can make the movies they want to make... how they want to make them... so we get the best possible movie. That's all that matters.

This documentary has definitely made me appreciate both approaches. There's arguments on both sides of why they will be used.
With the technology getting better, it only seems like it'll help the overall filmmaking process which in the end would be good for everyone. I can't see it being phased out entirely.
BTW, what the hell happened to Emile Hirsch? He fall off the face of the earth or something? Seemed like he was taking off with Alpha Dog and Into the Woods.

Anyone heard about the development of Dolby Atmos? I really don't like 3D movies, but I think this will be a better innovation for enjoying movies in the theater (way more than 3D). The vid in the link explains it beautifully.

Late last night, I watched this movie on my iPad... 1974 starring Andrew Garfield & Rebecca Hall. It's part of a trilogy called Red Riding which premiered in the UK on in 2009 & showed in limited theaters the following year here in the states.
This one's about a reporter played by Garfield that's investigating a series of child murders & comes across the mother of one of the children played by Rebecca Hall. He ends up uncovering a "Chinatown"-ish conspiracy that involves local business owners and the police.
This movie is a first of a trilogy. The others are 1980 & 1983. I love a good British crime movie & this is one of the best ones I've ever seen. I plan on watching the other 2 within the next couple of weeks.
You can find each of the full movies on youtube with decent video quality...

someone was asking about a new Kauffman film...
FX says it is developing a comedy pilot from Charlie Kaufman, called "How & Why."
