Re: Those Personal Triumphs No One Else Will Ever Understand
I signed up with the Technology and Entertainment Exchange with the National Academy of Sciences as a consultant for film (video) and media, so--hopefully - - I can stop whining about how films never get the physics right!

Re: "I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND I MUST TALK ABOUT IT" Thread
High school and college, FWIW. And I also DO value a person's experience with regard to their opinions. I do not believe that "all opinions are the same." A person with NO experience selecting or directing actors--or being an actor--is just not going to have the awareness or the language, ...

Re: "I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND I MUST TALK ABOUT IT" Thread
PV, Asa Butterfield is--in my semi-professional opinion--incapable of an "on-screen chemistry" with ANYone. I forgave him in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," since he was only 10 years old. I never really cared about his character, which for that movie in particular is critical....

The more I watch this movie, the less and less I like it. I try to like it, but I can't. Maybe if I watch it drunk. But the shots are so damn STATIC. A bunch of talking heads in FAR too many scenes.
