Yes, I'm talking to you James Cameron.
Awesome!devildeac wrote:Personal fowls are called.captmojo wrote:Anybody know the penalties for stealing chickens?
Sadly, I think the Academy recognizes it as such, and so do the Hollywood bigwigs. Kelly and I are going through our Netflix account and front-loading it with classic movies. This weekend we'll be watching "The French Connection". No CGI there!Lavabe wrote:You mean, CGI isn't the same thing as cinematography?Miles wrote:You and me both.

DANG!
One of the benefits of the 16 hour flight from Jo-burg to Atlanta was the movie selection. I decided to load up on Oscar nominated/winning performances. I finally got to see WALL STREET and NORMA RAE. Simply stellar performances. French Connection was an option, but I chose MONTY PYTHON instead (had to get something light after those two movies). Got to finish up with Patton.Miles wrote:Sadly, I think the Academy recognizes it as such, and so do the Hollywood bigwigs.

Agreed. Granted, it's being hailed as "the best movie EVAR!!!!" by some, so to me over-rated means it was just very good.Lavabe wrote:Movie review: Over-rated.
I think real film-making can be loaded with CGI. It takes incredible talent and artistry to bring what isn't there to life. George Lucas went overboard with it in the prequels, and in my opinion didn't use it very well.Lavabe wrote: Wow... real film-making with no 3-D/CGI crap!!
I understand your points. And if I want to see Jurassic Park, I would at least expect that. Or if I go to a fantasy movie, I expect it there.CameronBornAndBred wrote:I think real film-making can be loaded with CGI. It takes incredible talent and artistry to bring what isn't there to life.

Steven Speilberg used it to perfection in Jurassic Park.
Titanic wouldn't have been the same movie without it, and I love Cameron's ability to create an entirely new, fascinating and yet believable world in Avatar. A really good film maker will be able to use the CGI to enhance the film or tell the story he otherwise couldn't. I find nothing wrong with that.
Agreed on most points. My only qualms with Avatar, and they're huge qualms, is that ALL the movie offered was an entirely new, fascinating and yet believable world. Every other aspect of filmmaking that I enjoy and care about were almost non-existent.CameronBornAndBred wrote:I think real film-making can be loaded with CGI.

I won't even watch the digitally remastered remakes. I saw them in the theater when I was at Duke, and I was pretty disappointed. The scene in the cantina TOTALLY broke my heart. Han Solo was a scoundrel in the beginning. One of the best parts of those movies is his character development and his turning his life around. That HORRIBLE piece of CGI to add in a totally unbelievable shot by Greedo just, well it just me. I bought the version that has the original theatrical release as a bonus feature, and that's the version I watch.Miles wrote: I don't think Lucas went overboard with CGI, that's too big of a net to cast. A lot of the CGI in the Star Wars Prequels was awesome. For me, it was that damn Jar-Jar BInks that spoiled the fun, among a few other issues. The CGI that royally sucked was in the digitally remastered, remakes of Episodes IV - VI.

There's some pretty fancy shmancy chickens at the state fair..I bet they are worth more than $5...my guess is they can get pretty pricey like dog breeds. I wonder how hard it is to steal a live chicken. They run away and have a built in alarm.lawgrad91 wrote: In VA stealing fowl is a felony larceny if the chickens are worth more than $5, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. It's a misdemeanor if worth less. I would think any chicken would be worth more than $5 but it's probably a holdover from the days of the hallowed Thomas Jefferson.

Got a good chuckle out of me.
