There is *one* reason this movie is on my to-watch list, and this is pretty much it. Jaysus.
The trailers for that look make it look like a lot of fun, although Reese doesn't look like she has much to do.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Call me a bad feminist, but...I ain't mad about that. As long as she does what she has to do well. But I am all about the (inevitable, one true) interpretation that she's just a proxy for the guys' feelings for each other.
I hate it in movies when the camera pans around and I see the flickering as a result
I never see shit like that. I think I have slow eyes.

A White Collar vibe would be fun, but I'm with you. I predict (I hope) a lot of fic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or sometimes 29.9 something fps.
For values of "sometimes" which include "anything NTSC" and values of "29.9" which equal "29.97" t /pedantic
Sigh. SD video was so simple. Why'd we have to go and want more lines of resolution anyway?
FWIW, most HD video on TV is 1080i/59.94 OR 1080p/23.98. Interlacing gets you smooth movement, progressive video gets you crisp focus. Shooting progressive with a high enough frame rate minimizes the trade-off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, I knew someone would know more about this than me.

OMG yes. And the trigger finger!
I nearly linked that photo earlier, but I got predictably distracted and didn't really think about anything else for a while.

That's precisely why I chose that picture out of all the ones I saved to my Dropbox.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I like this one a lot too, for similar reasons, even though there's some other person in the picture.
I am pretty much only going to see this movie to see Tom Hardy handle guns.

Ha, and I'm going for the Chris Pine. That's okay, you guys can drool on the left side of the theatre and I'll drool on the right.
