Public Enemies

evrt:

I also saw Public Enemies this past weekend, at the downtown Mainstreet Theatre. Over all, it was a great movies. Depp’s performance is amazing (not unexpectedly). Bale’s performance is weak, but I think that is because his character was not written very well.

It is definitely worth seeing. However, there is one factor throughout the movie that drove me crazy. It was shot in digital, which I don’t have a problem with, but the editing is horrible. At times I actually felt like I was watching the unedited behind the scenes DVD features. I understand if they were trying to keep it looking “raw” but it really looked laughable in certain scenes. A lot of highlights had heavy chromatic abberation, and extremely blown out hightlights. The entire film was shot with hand carried cameras as well, which isn’t necessarily bad, but hard to get used to.

Still worth seeing though.

You had me until “heavy chromatic abberation.” Still want to see this, though.

Be proud of who you are.

NTKG: I’m like one of those “uncle john bathroom readers”
full of useless information you only care about when you’re strapped to a toilet
yeah, i’m comfortable with that description of myself

A) The information isn’t useless. I may or may not have cited a Bathroom Reader in a paper or two in high school.

B) Despite the name, they are also great for long drives… and flights if you don’t mind creeping a couple people out.

Happy birthday to me.

I am the rain king.
