I will always pick Bullitt as certain scenes, such as when you see Bullit come over the hill behind the Dodge, are filmed as you see it. The shot was of the actual rearview mirror, in the actual car, with the actual driver in the shot, and the Mustang perfectly framed. No cut and paste, no camera tricks. It's the pure truth of it. Steve McQueen drives the Mustang except for the most risky of the stunts, while Hickman is driving the Charger. It's the closest to true I've seen.

I discount the Gone in 60 Seconds original movie as you've never heard of the guy and actually driving like that out in general public is just stupid.

Yeah that still bugs me about the pentagon how can
1) it even happen
2) no camera footage released
3) remember the gas stations cctv footage was removed

Theres a lot of stuff going around the net about "inside job" dont believe that but theres a lot of questions need to be answered and if anyone could get those questions out there in to the mainstream on film its Micheal Moore.

It's a friggin 3D model you blasphemous widget heads.

No camera in the world being casually handheld can freeze that kind of action with absolutely NO differential effects seen between the hub of the rotor and the far end.

It's a 3D MODEL WHICH HAS BEEN TRADED ON THE INTERNET SINCE THE EARLY 1990's:

Additionally this whole thing would take about a day to make for someone with skills. Dont let the little specular effects and such fool you.

1) get HDR 360 degree panoramic image of the sky. If you dont have one, let Vue-6 render one for you automatically.

2) use the HDR image as the background, and also as the light source

3) place a specular "Sun" light somewhere matching up with the HDR location

4) take ancient moldy Hind 3D model from your most oldest ancient CDR on your most dusty bookshelf

5) use a flavor of hind paint scheme READY TO GO:

(or roll your own)

6) flop it around in the viewport, render to small movie, apply sound effects

Is that a 110 out of 200? because thats not so bad.

“You know how big of a film snob comment that was? The scale is hitting a 110 right now.

“i've never seen this. and despite my love of portishead and my love of film noir,... I didn't like it.

slightly too amateurish, in lighting, in editing, in shot framing,... jeez, when did i become a film snob? crap. i hate film snobs...

a bit more contrast (some blown out whites), a bit more grit, a more 'appropriate' looking apartment/hotel setting, some scene establishing shots, and some camera movement... so bored with no activity in the background and no camera movement... glad i hung in there for the death scene, which is soo bad its almost like they were making fun of film noir.

picking such a good song as background was a savy choice, otherwise nobody would see this.””

hah, yeah, sorry about that. I thought at the end if I constructively pointed out some of the things I thought were lacking then it wouldn't be just some bullshit film snob comment,... but it still was. I'd be willing to bet this video gets >20 votes in the next weeks.

This happens to me more often than I'd like; a song that I really like and that is very visually appealling to me (in the sense that you can close your eyes and imagine all sorts of accompanying visual themes and elements) is mangled on the visual side by someone who's not yet a director. This was especially a let down because the premise is fine (climactic murder film noir), but every details betray the inexperience of the artist. He/she'd make a fine closeup portrait photographer.

Yep, the survey says, As good as Walmart makes it for a segment of the pajama wearers, the people who really lose out, are the many hundreds of thousands of workers, mostly Chinese,who toil away to give us our Plastique! Our diapers, Our Hot wheels, Our make-up, Our Christmas decor.....yadda yadda...butterfly wings here, Tidal Waves there....cause and effect...take the sensible side of knowing how to help you and yours....Steal what you can back from WalMart, most of the bubbles have no cameras-Take a battery operated degausser with ya to the DVD/CD area, and start in t'stuffin' that special jacket....

Fripp & The League Of Crafty Guitarists Live at George Washington University, Continental Ballroom, Marvin Center, Washington DC Dec 14-15 1986 ....got to see this project live in 87', no cameras, no applause, by order of Fripp....

I'm sick of the media talking shit about what's going on there, stuff like this happens everyday and no camera is around to see it. The media is trying to make the war much worse then it is just ask any soldier who's come back.
