Ferris Bueller is 30 - Boing Boing
"I am the famous French scientist sent over here to find the UFO"
"I was a scientist before I became a bad actor .. I know what that number is -" We got it all on UHF: An oral history of "Weird Al" Yankovic's cult classic - Dhoom 3 2013 DVDRip x264 Hindi ESubs-ViZNU [P2PDL]
Hold onto your butts, because now you too can hack into a Unix system - Kill Screen - Videogame Arts & Culture The-Avengers-2012-Extras-480p-BDRip-XviD-AC3-ELiTE
This is a brilliant concept for a comedic story. This needs to be a movie. A romantic comedy for the T2 geek set / sci-fi geek set? This could work really well if done right. -
Gotcha! was higher production quality, and slicker, but not as much fun. http://www.j4hi.com/page8/page93/TAG_Assassination_Game_dvd.html

The alternate identities thing in R.I.P.D. was pretty cool, however. The questioning scene with the Indian food was cool .. the movie needs more like that. -

tracking shots = always good. suspension of disbelief - if you can get the audience engaged emotionally, they are off and running with your universe. -
(Although you gotta admit, the sped-up-camera-while-filming / slowdown-for-playback Vigo speaking those lines with slow-motion mouth movements was cool too .. a nice effect ..) -
and the effect this paranoia had on the American people, and the country -
Music makes the movie. -

From Cameron to Carpenter, opening shots of identifying a bogie that travels at incredible speed (The Abyss), to the opening dramatic 15 minutes of a ship landing (and crashing) on earth (Starman). To someone taking on human form to blend in and deliver his message to the populace - Even Galactica 1980 (poor example) the two guys seeking out "the smartest guy on planet earth", a scientist - Gort: looks like / influenced Marty McFly 'Darth Vader' costume / scary stories pulp magazine cover ?
influence Spielberg, with his shots of wide-eyed, apprehensive, awestruck people, emotion and nuance painted on their faces? (the classic Spielberg 'wide-eyed' shot, from Close Encounters, to Jurassic Park, to E.T.) -
It's like calling Sully Sullenberger's landing the "miracle" on the Hudson - it's a miracle to people who don't understand, but to him it was all about skill and concentration. But the whole movie is a big AA meeting, this is what the movie's really about, so perhaps the airplane stuff is secondary. http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2012/11/flight-review-filmdrunk-aa-informercial-with-planes - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/22/movies/turbo-and-ripd-open-to-disappointing-results.html?pagewanted=all
a handheld reverse tracking shot (after a character does something bad, and is fleeing, or in anticipation of something bad happening) creates tension (damn, what movie did I see this in?)

The Man with the Golden Gun Corkscrew Jump | JT78 First movie I noticed Kerry Washington in: Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer -- I keep seeing premises for movies and my mind goes off on a tangent desinging my own movie - Spring Breakers - harold and kumar type story, none of he humor, all of the horror, they turn into action heroes Turbo - he gets in with the cars and has a transformative experience I keep wantign to see my own movies. This started with when I dreamed the first 15 minutes of Iron Man 2. The actual movie did not match what I had in my head, I could not watch it. It's interesting that both horror and comedy come from the unexpected. -- Storytelling: show, don't tell - (Re: "A Needed ) - this can apply to the smallest short film / PSA / youtube video - it does no good to preach or evangelize, to show a scenario that is the alternate, that is what you are trying to put across, is far more effective - showing your alternate reality is far more effective in changing minds than anything else - -- Site that took apart Aliens. Bogus, except for one thing: why didn't Ripley immediately clue in to Burke pulling a for-the-company right from the beginning? She had just recovered from Ash doing the same thing.
Moon: to evoke that feeling of being trapped, cast and crew locked themselves in a fully built claustrophobic moonbase set, for the entire shooting day. Apollo 13: Ron Howard segregated Kevin Bacon from teh rest of the actors, made him feel left out, to evoke that outsider / maverick feeling. Scarlett Johannson would stay in her trailer for copious amounts of time, never interact with the crew, to get that isolated, outsider feeling. (Lost in Translation) Models are *excellent*. The eye likes seeing live action, seeing real things. CGI was always a mistake, used to excess the way it was. CGI ran away from reason. The eye likes seeing real things. having characters react improves the validity of a thing. - ex. Die Hard 4.0 "You just killed a helicopter with a car" .. characters reacting to / remarking on a thing gives it more weight, increases the validity of a thing as opposed to *just* the thing happening -- the audience seeing characters respond to it gives them a guide on how to respond .. however, this can be tricky if there's not some validity to the event itself
To write a movie you have to speak the "language" of movies. How they cut, how they edit, how they talk. Movies are very much a language that you learn, subconsciously, non-verbally, just as you would a verbal language. They are very much like sign language in that there is a language there, that is different from the verbal. But it is a language. Movies, are a particular reality, --
