Oh man, I just spent the last 3 hours trying to get Sundance tickets because their site refused to work correctly for me. That was fun. I got some but I also lost two in the process, including one I really wanted to see. Ah well...

Way worse - the novel is largely just lurid tripe with 'autobiographical' details, the point is that the protagonist makes it about some sadomasochistic frenzy. It's basically a good version of 50 Shades of Grey.

Just watched Audition for the first time and holy moly. I've never seen a movie do that scene so well. Restraint is the key word that every single movie that tried to do this but MORE XXTREEEEEMEEEE doesn't understand is what makes the final twenty minutes so goddamned powerful. At the same time, I sort of wish the movie stuck with the it was all a dream ending because it seems more cohesive to be a film about a father's fear and anxiety at dating after becoming a widow.

I wish I hadn't. The shocking part isn't that these people exist, but that they are now apparently comfortable enough to actively try to go after others. One can only hope for them to get an old fashioned fash bashing or at least public shaming.

Is there a specific term for that kind of scene transition in the Lawrence of Arabia matchstick shot - that hard cut from a close-up to an extreme long shot?

If not, can anyone think of any other really effective examples of it off the top of their head?

Technically, it's a jump cut.

Cool thing: David Lean initially intended it to be a loooooong dissolve from Lawrence blowing out the match to the sunrise. Anne V. Coates put the jump edit in as temporary since the dissolve would have to be an optical or A/B dissolve (created when making actual 70mm prints). Lean loved how it looked and only asked for the cut to be moved up by two frames.

My favourite example in recent memory is the one in Gone Girl that cuts from Affleck and Pike kissing to Affleck getting a cheek swab.

There goes my entertainment budget for the next two months.

One of our cats has had ear problems for the past two years, and the polyp that was in his inner ear is now moving to the outer ear canal. We could have surgery done, but at his age (he's a rescue, but best guess is he's about 16 or 17; my wife adopted him shortly after we started dating in 2004), anesthesia is risky, it's incredibly expensive, and it might only work for a few months before the polyp returns ... which means we now have to start thinking about quality of life. And right now he basically sleeps all day in his favorite cardboard box and gets up to eat and use the litterbox (and when he shakes his head to try to relieve the irritation in his ear, he spatters blood on his box). He doesn't even come up to bed and snuggle with me anymore ... although the last time he did, I woke up with my arm covered in blood-ooze from his ear.

I keep putting on a strong face because my wife is clearly thinking we should put him to sleep and she really doesn't want to do that, but when that dumb bastard goes I'll be a mess.

Isn't a jump cut where it's a shot from the same or similar angle so that the cut is extremely visibile and makes objects or people seemingly "jump" suddenly?

That's way worse than my situation, and you have my sympathies. I'm gonna lose my poo poo when that time comes for my cats. Other than momentary discomfort and looking like a one-tooth doofus, my cat's gonna be fine. I just wish I'd caught the chipped tooth sooner so we could've avoided all this. His gums are pretty swollen right now, even after the anti-biotic shot. I'd have sprung for painkillers, but they really don't do much for infections.

That's an L or J cut, depending on whether the visual or audio changes first (because on film, you have the audio recording as a separate track under the image, so if you cut the image out first and leave the audio, you get an L-shaped piece of film and vice versa).

The funny thing is, I don't even like cats, but the minute this idiot saw me when I drove up to Madison for a visit with my now-wife, he just imprinted on me and decided he was going to be attached to me forever.

Like, when my wife and I reconciled and I moved back to Wisconsin after my year in Baltimore, I walked in the apartment door, Spike took one look at me and actually fell over and almost started hyperventilating.

A goofy cat (this was when we were packing boxes because we were getting ready to move to our house and I guess he didn't want to be left behind):



Edit: Jesus, that was less than two years ago and it's depressing to realize how much weight he's lost.

Toebone also mentioned a match cut, which Wikipedia seems to agree with w/r/t the shot in Lawrence of Arabia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_cut

Seems like it's basically a jump cut but instead of it being a jarring transition, there is supposed to be some element of metaphorical continuity.
