Well, I am what I am (yup, an **** and proud), and there's no way you (meaning ANYBODY) can change it, Nolan.

I'm not trying to change the way you rate, talk, or live your life. I'm just agreeing with Austin that you could learn some respect, and you really could. I'll always love your comments, but some of the people here get really offended, and in some cases, hurt by them...

Being an **** is the easiest thing in the world to be, so as far as I"m concerned, keep bragging about it.

Quote from squidhead :

I really do believe I make more points that help people understand what they are doing wrong, than just tell them how bad the movie was. But somehow everyone wants it sugarcoated... sorry mates, I'm sugarfree.

I personally didn't find any extreme cases of harshness in this thread but I do I have to agree with Austin that in some cases, you can be a little over the top. I really don't think this was the thread to start a big rant about it though. If anything I would have brought this up in the Pure LFS thread, where you rated a near perfect movie a 6...

Quote from Austin31287 :

It CALLLED RESPECT ONE THING YOU DONT HAVE .

+1.

Squid I can understand, he's the movie forum king and I enjoy most of his comments. However, I do not care for this Big Cheese guy running around and humping squids leg every time there is a fart in the wind. Both of them really need to learn some respect in all honesty. We know what to expect from squid, but I'm getting to the point where I don't even read the Big Cheese comments.

In all honesty, this thread should be closed.

Quote from squidhead :

I genuinely enjoyed the first 30 seconds of it... and then the whole vibe was just destroyed by a sudden theme change...

I disagree, I kind of enjoyed the change and the song lyrics fit the video pretty well. The racing could have been better and the camera angles need a little work. Getting there mate!

Doesn't really look "smokey" but I think the effect it self is pretty cool looking. Could be very useful.

Hum Hum, can't find the link. :S

This video might be exactly what I need before going to sleep

It might be a few days, but at least you have the image to go by...

Quote from squidhead :

You use Slow Motion to show off fine details... if you don't show them, what exactly ARE you trying to show that wouldn't be seen in proper 1.0x video? Driving? I don't think so. Track? Uh huh... yeah right... WHAT THEN?

You see... there are NO RULES on how to make a slow motion video... there are things that slow motion videos show. Just like there are no rules on how to make a porn movie, there are things that porn movies show. I don't think a porn movie would be good if you were to see 1.5 hours of badly filmed cupboard, with screams of joy in the background... Same goes for this movie - it doesn't show what it's supposed to

Well I agree with the fact that this video should not be slow motion and I agree that slow motion is used to show off fine details. I wouldn't have quite phrased it as, and yes I know this is not word for word, "you have to show off something of detail," but more so that, "you have to show off something, in a great detail." IE if the car was on the oval and camera was moving eloquently around it. There is nothing really wrong with the oval scene (though I would never have picked) but the camera work would have had to been amazing for it to have work.

This video isn't terrible, but sometimes things just don't work.
