Stunningly filmed, beautifully edited.

This was for a contest, user-generated content. I personally know the dudes who made this one, oddly enough...but hadn't seen them post this until it showed up here at the sift! Small world. Here's a behind the scenes video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi-qp_HQsIw

Agree with @RedSky, I don't see how he can spend any more studio money unless this movie kicks ass. Unfortunately, based on Shyamalan's track record, this will blow.

Maybe he knows it, and that's why he's doing a kids movie. They are a lot more likely to forgive his normal filmmaking transgressions...

Southwest continues to rock. Best airline out there.

This is like Star Wars Kid 2.0...

Delightful. What a national treasure Neil is! He puts such a personable face on science.

Some really insightful commentary on screenwriting and character development in there. Almost as if this was made by a filmmaker who was close to everything that went on...

While I accept the crux of your reply, "countless" is probably not the best description of the audience that enjoys Curb. 1.1 million, actually. :-)

But sure, you make a good point. I guess I'm reacting because it feels really really overrated and everyone fawns over it (for reasons I cannot fathom).

Yep, still not funny. No amount of odd tuba music makes the "punchlines" any funnier. And the very thing that critics seem to love (OMFG ITS BASICALLY UNSCRIPTED! *shats critically*) kills the flow. It desperately needs to be more scripted.

Yep, still unfunny.

I must know the story behind this...

Brilliant.

I can't speak to the certification process of camera systems on the launch vehicle, but I do know that NASA and others have been shooting ground-based video of the launches in 4K resolution on the RED One camera. So that's a start I suppose.

Unfortunately, the RED One is subject to well-known CMOS-sensor based Rolling Shutter issues (skew, "jello" etc), and I wonder if the vibration of the launch would cause these image issues to surface, making it (and all current CMOS designs) a poor option for shooting from the launch vehicle.

Curb is by far the funniest comedy on tv at the moment. I feel sorry for all the fans of boil-in-the-bag, insert-joke-here comedy fans that can't understand it. I'm sure another rerun of friends will be on a channel soon.


You're a little later than I expected, but congratulations on winning today's CYE Trite Apologist Award! Your entry had the complete winning combo of standard phrases!

Sigh, I don't suppose reading this article will change anything, but here goes...
An excerpt: "...CYE is an in-joke that no-one else is invited to. Its television for those who want others to know how good a taste they have, an exercise in painfully self-aware good ‘taste’. And the last thing that Larry David needs is people telling him how clever he really is."

Yep, gave it another shot. Nope, still not funny. Curb is probably the most overrated show on TV.

Louis CK is amazing. Love his perspectives on life
