Trailer for The Conjuring. Looks like a pretty creepy movie. And the trailer is nice as it focuses on one particular aspect rather than a whole synopsis on the movie.

Rolled my eyes at "Based on a True Story" though.

Here's a Battlestar Galactica trailer, goon-made. It covers just the miniseries which serves as a prologue to the show.

One of the main things I've come to look forward to from new Iron Man movies is the increasingly outlandish methods Stark comes up with for getting into the Iron Man suit.

It does not appear that Iron Man 3 is going to disappoint.

In Avengers 2, he will just lift up a rock in the middle of the savannah where a secret fingerprint sensor verifies his identity and a new suit of armor will come flying out of a nearby trashcan. Much like in the tokusatsu series Cybercop.

What is the mechanism that draws Iron Man's mask to Stark's head? At some point I'm thinking poo poo gets caught in between and the mask slams a massive shrapnel into Stark's face.

If Iron Man 3 is in any way based on Extremis, that would be a backstep.

Stark ends up carrying the armour as liquid nano-machinery in the hollows of his bones.

Yeah. I hate that it's become such a cliche to dismiss the "tv-ness" of Whedon's productions but his directing style is so uninteresting. It's unfair to compare it to TV almost, the average Law and Order SVU episode looks better (to be fair they're expensive as hell to make). It doesn't look as good as commercials, it's like barely as good as the typical Hallmark Channel movie.

It's like the only trick he's learned is shot-reverse shot. Not every single scene needs to be a head-on, flat close up of someone talking, or two people side by side symmetrically filling the frame. It's so unimaginative.

I was stunned by how bad it looked. Like... high school student film amateurish. It looks like it was just with a loving point and shoot.

I like the idea of modern-day Shakespeare, especially with that cast and shot in black and white. But holy poo poo... like, I've never seen b&w look flatter and uglier. It looks...accidental or something.

Who was Whedon's DP on Serenity? Because that movie actually looks good, aside from the final fight.

I looked it up, the DP on Much Ado was the director of Kitchen Nightmares and camera operator on Survivor. Seems like this is his first actual film, and hopefully his last.

I feel like saying that despite (or maybe because of) the show being extremely formulaic, Kitchen Nightmares is actually pretty well shot, and since reality shows are so aggressively edited you could probably learn all the camera setups and movement you could care to learn on Survivor. I blame Whedon.

Kitchen Nightmares is definitely better shot than other shows. They have pretty decent B-Roll shots. However they also typically have good color grading that maybe offsets the "Reality show footage" of it. It typically gives it more of a cinematic feel. This, of course, can't benefit from that unfortunately.

I just saw a really skeevy commercial for Tommy Lee Jones' new movie, Emperor. Instead of actually advertising the movie they just talked about how this was TLJ's first movie since Lincoln.

Jack Green. He also shot Unforgiven, The Bridges of Madison County, and some of the better looking comedies from the last decade. Serenity's blocking is still Whedon's typical mix of bland shot, reverse-shot and overly gimmicky VFX enabled long-takes, but Jack Green exposes and lights it very nicely. David Boyd did some very nice work with the TV series to, given the production's limitations.

I'd definitely agree, except Kitchen Nightmares U.K. looked way better and was a much less rigid and formulaic show. But yeah, I would think shooting commercials, music videos or reality shows is like a crash course in how to film something.
