You know, these days, it takes a cat to make a youtube sensation (or in Rebecca Black's case, autotune.)<br /><br />Man, you are very lucky! 10 months is a pretty long time, mind you. And it is going to be an awesome experience!<br /><br />Yeah, I've gathered that too. I definitely am!Stevee Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284769251750574447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-3074942270653769782011-03-20T01:49:30.394+13:002011-03-20T01:49:30.394+13:00Pets are always the best for film footage.

Mostly everything I have ever filmed centers around either our family dog, or my cat. <br /><br />It has been a good insight into the 'industry' so far I guess, yeah. It's gonna turn out to be some great experience even if it's for a 10 month stint, I was so lucky to get it and am not letting the opportunity pass up!<br /><br />What I have gathered (not with thos job, but I mean in general), is you have to make your own luck and just go out and try and do something, even if you have shit all money and in a way, I think you're already doing that with your blog!Cherokeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-4830948178805301262011-03-18T20:45:08.890+13:002011-03-18T20:45:08.890+13:00It does have a pretty awesome poster, I must say!
...It does have a pretty awesome poster, I must say!<br /><br />Wow, that job sounds AWESOME. It must give you like a really huge insight into the world of making videos. Office work isn't too bad. And it will be a nice touch for your CV!<br /><br />Jeez, you're job makes my classy job at Blockbuster look so much more unawesome! And yeah, it sucks living where I am. I'll just keep helping my niece make some amateur videos of her cat sleeping :(Stevee Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284769251750574447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-27193524505159550652011-03-17T21:22:02.897+13:002011-03-17T21:22:02.897+13:00Same (at feeling empty), and it's a shame when...Same (at feeling empty), and it's a shame when that happens. It also has a great poster too.<br /><br />Well, it's not like a permanent job, it's for 10 months because I have to study for this certificate in something or other, but it's good so far. I got to go on a music video set and stuff, which was nice experience and shows just how much work goes into getting like 2 minutes of footage, and hopefully, I am going to be able to go for a few days on the film the company is directing/producing, which will be awesome.<br /><br />But yeah, I'm just doing office stuff atm (and for probably most of my duration there), but it's cool and I actually don't mind office work, it keeps me busy. But for the time I am there, it's gonna be really good experience for me, and a nice touch to my CV!<br /><br />I feel lucky living where I do, because we have an industry of sorts, so opportunities are more easy to come by, and where you're based, it's more difficult.Cherokeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-29124386473936827792011-03-17T19:28:07.939+13:002011-03-17T19:28:07.939+13:00Yeah, I don't mind things not being concluded ...Yeah, I don't mind things not being concluded either, but I just felt so empty after watching this.

Most of the time, I don't mind if things don't make sense, and aren't concluded, but with The Killer Inside Me (on film), it just didn't work. <br /><br />Still, it should have won something for it's cinematography, or at least have been nominated. <br /><br />I totally agree with you on it not being a women-hating film. Because, to me, it didn't come across like that at all.<br /><br />And sorry I've been MIA at the moment.

Casey Affleck is fantastic again, but half of the film is made up of Ford's flashbacks to love scenes with Alba, and offers very little insight to his motivation for violence. You said it...empty. I have read the novel, and the adaptation is quite close, but there is a series of narrated monologues that reveal so much more. I just have issues with the whole story in general, though. I don't shy away from brutal violence, but none of it served any purpose whatsoever. The glowing reviews for this film, which not surprisingly has divided audiences, puzzle me somewhat. Nice review Stevee.<br /> <br />Here's my fairly average review from mid last year: http://buckle22.blogspot.com/2010/06/short-review-killer-inside-me-2010.htmlAndy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-49581331675482945022011-03-16T10:30:22.220+13:002011-03-16T10:30:22.220+13:00This comment has been removed by the author.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-81083893812047751472011-03-16T10:22:54.709+13:002011-03-16T10:22:54.709+13:00Totally agree with you on the photography, it was ...Totally agree with you on the photography, it was extremely beautiful, and one of the highlights for me of the film. I remember writing a feminist piece about this film when I saw it back in September, because it was supposed to be this all 'women-hating' extravaganza, and I totally didn't get that. Just characters than ran back to Ford without an explanation why they should love him, as he was a pretty - and that is putting it lightly - unloveable guy.<br /><br />However, I don't think there is too much sex in it. Yeah, it is central to the story - in some ways - but there isn't as much as I first thought there would be, and the way that so many people had gone on about that part of the film.<br /><br />The book is awesome though.Cherokeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-47956427830161433222011-03-16T04:43:17.694+13:002011-03-16T04:43:17.694+13:00This one did sound horrible, so I avoided it...
I...This one did sound horrible, so I avoided it...<br /><br />I do think Casey Affleck is a very good actor though, one just has to look at his work in The Assassination of Jesse James and Gone, Baby Gone, he's great in both of those.<br /><br />Even so, I think I'll continue to avoid this one, I'm probably not sadistic enough to enjoy it...Jack Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558083317361098572noreply@blogger.com
