When you check out Tree of Life, or if you do, would you mind swinging by here and laying down your take on the movie: http://cinema.videosift.com/talk/Anyone-else-see-Malick-s-Tree-of-Life
Cheers.

1. i don't care which religion you giggle at. or don't. whatever.

2. I only get irritated when religious people talk shit about mormons.

3. i dont get irritated when people without religious affiliations talk shit about mormons.

4. i'm just glad to see farhad in this thread.

5. don't fuck with the jains. they're beautiful. their thousands of years old tenets also resemble some kind of primitive metaphor for what would become quantum mechanics. i love them more than life itself.

So, after putting on my detective hat and going through advanced searches for a while (can you tell it's a Saturday and I'm happy to be at work?) here are the precedents I discovered.

Videos of the exact same event taken from different angles (same audio)

Wind Turbine Self-Destructing
http://www.videosift.com/video/Windmill-Destroyed-By-Wind (original)
http://videosift.com/video/Wind-turbine-self-destructs (potential dupe)

In this case the majority (6-4) barely decided it was not a dupe and it stayed.

Window Adjusts Lighting
http://videosift.com/video/Philips-Daylight-Window-Concept-Presentation (original)
http://www.videosift.com/video/Ambient-window-adjusts-lighting-hue-and-patterns (potential dupe)

In this case, kronosposeidon conceded the extra camera angles added nothing and left it up to Farhad2000 whether to declare it a dupe or not. Farhad apparently graciously decided not to.

Mythbusters paint the Mona Lisa with Paintballs
http://videosift.com/video/MythBusters-CPU-vs-GPU-or-Paintball-Cannons-are-Cool (original)
http://videosift.com/video/Mythbusters-Paint-the-Mona-Lisa-with-Paintballs (potential dupe)

In this case, the original garnered far more votes than the dupe, so there wasn't much controversy. Consensus seems to be that it is a dupe. However, to this day it remains Sifted.

Mentos and Diet Coke Explosion
http://www.videosift.com/video/Record-breaking-Mentos-and-Diet-Coke-Explosions (not sure)
http://videosift.com/video/Mentos-and-Coke-Light-World-Record-Attempt (not sure)

In this case, Maatc and Ant came to an amicable agreement in which they agreed to put links to each others' videos in the descriptions.

Suggestion

Precedent seems to be that the same event captured with different angles but containing the same audio is not a dupe. However, precedent also seems to suggest that most Sifters are gracious to each other and try to spread the votes around fairly. So, maybe each of you could put a link to each others' vids in your description and hopefully people who vote for one will go and vote for the other. Sound fair?

Hey Eric.

I might publish some new ones. I made a bunch since the last ones I posted.

Am taking a nostalgia hike through my old vids.

I'm a fucking retard, sifty. drugs are bad, mkaaaay! I thought farhad's version was older... *promote

Sorry, Farhad, but it looks like this one is *dead.

I agree, farhad. Not sure why I think this (though i agree about movies this year), but I just get bad feelings. Guess I am generally skeptical of movies that use the "dream-to-real-life" device--seems like a really facile way of just doing whatever you want as the storyteller.
But who knows... I will see it immediately. and looking forward to discussing it with y'all.

Have you seen Paprika? That actually had a pretty similar premise to Inception, and I thought it was quite good. I mean, it was nowhere near the face-melting awesomeness I expect from Inception, but it was above average nonetheless.
