Closed Film and TV threads

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

this is pretty much it

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.

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

And the trigger finger!

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.
