  1. I'm just a filmmaker. The client deserves all the thanks.
  2. Technically it was made so well that I just finished a training video for the army in VA, and a lot of the shots and ideas we had were inspired by this film.
  3. Anybody care to tell Indiana about this Ray Allen guy? I heard he can shoot. Maybe ignoring him on defense in the fourth quarter isn't the best strategy.
  4. As is tradition for the franchise.
  5. I hope they draft Embiid. That means either Parker or (hopefully) Wiggins to my Sixers. Hope to get a steal at #10, as well to go with Noel and ROTY MCW (last year's #10 overall) from 2013 draft. Young dynasty in the making.
  6. But could you play this part: http://youtu.be/EYbRWquT1vQ
  7. Garfield is by far the better actor, so that accounts for something. Personally, the first two Spider-Man movies with Maguire have yet to be rivaled. I don't think it's been close, either. However, I'll take the Amazing series over Spider-Man 3 any day.
  8. And then there's the good. I'll give him props when they're due. If he keeps making plays like that, we'll be just fine. I was referring to a much earlier play.This one: http://twitpic.com/dmzy0b
  9. I doubt the Pacers even put up a fight anymore after this.
  10. And my Sixers get stuck at number three in the draft. I hate realizing we probably could have luckily ended up in that spot even if we tried. Oh well.
  11. Don't say that. He's such a good guy to work for. He is almost single handedly keeping the Philly film business afloat, and he is doing so much good in the community with all his money. I hope he keeps getting paid forever.
  12. I hope you're right, but I don't know. It's pretty much a guarantee the Pacers lay an egg or two before the series is over, which means they have to win all the close games with no margin for error in order for your prediction to come through. Seriously, have you ever seen a good team as unpredictable as Indiana this year? Crazy highs and lows all season.
  13. I think the loss of Ibaka is bigger than you are giving credit for. Now, the Thunder are forced to go super small to score, meaning the Spurs are unstoppable in the paint. If they go big, they limit the Spurs scoring, but can't get a bucket themselves on the other end unless one of their dynamic duo makes a great one-on-one play. Ibaka was the key to their happy medium, which is now dead.
  14. Even above all those corners we drafted...oh, wait. Seriously though, good for him. I hope he is good enough to at least push Jackson and Brown to raise their game to another level. I still have flashbacks of the play after Jimmy got banged up against Pitt and they brought in Brown for a play and lines him up over Antonio Brown. Ben didn't even have to place the ball, he just looked once and lobbed it to that sideline for an easy fifteen. Chykie wasn't even in the picture.
  15. Obviously since the poster stated you ALL lost posts during the porn purge, I can understand the desire for secrecy.
  16. I've seen the first two. I'm waiting for the pace to pick up, but I'm interested for now. I'll give it at least another two episodes before I decide whether or not to abandon it.
  17. That's gotta be it.
  18. Please understand that I have seen 1000s of horror movies, so any movie on this list is hardly "pedestrian" by my standards. These are all gems that I love and respect. On a personal note, I have worked on a bunch of M. Night's jobs since The Sixth Sense, and even though the more recent films aren't as great, the jobs were awesome. He is a great guy, and I hope his latest work, which harkens back to his horror beginnings, ends up earning him back some of the respect he has lost over the years. He represents almost half of the big budget films that still shoot here in Philly, and I hope he never stops.
  19. Yeah, it isn't my favorite sub-genre (I believe there are only five such films in my whole list), but I give movies like that their due for the explosion of popularity and countless horror movies that have come to be thanks to the level of fandom slashers brought to the horror film world.
  20. Hopefully you realized I was referring to the original Black Christmas from the 70s. It's so high due to it's impact mostly. It kind of started the slasher sub-genre, so I consider it a big deal. I do really like it, though. I recommended Afflicted to fly originally. Small, recent release sure to see future cult fame. I also just noticed that the Irish movie Grabbers finally made it's way over to the States and On Demand (maybe Netflix, too, I haven't checked). This is a flick sure to provide a good time, especially in a group. Think Tremors meets Shaun of the Dead.
  21. I'll argue all day about it, but I'm sure there are some on there you haven't seen. If it inspires you to see some of these gems, it's worth it. I'm assuming you spotted some on the list you dislike and that's why you want to argue? BTW, this list was originally 500, but I widdled it down somehow, and it was made a few years ago. There might be some new entries if I were to do it again, and the order would most certainly change with each pass.
  22. Check out this list if you have the time. These aren't necessarily my 100 favorite horror movies, but I was trying to focus on originality and importance to the horror community. You'll certainly notice I have included a lot of films not everyone might consider horror, but I try my best to explain my selections in the write-ups. FYI, this site is great to check from time-to-time as it has an active community reviewing all the big and small horror movies as they come out, as well as nice little articles like "What to Watch on Netflix This Month." http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/blogs/entry/Beanfigger-s-Top-100-Horror-Films-100-76
  23. Good list. I stayed away from some of these suggestions when he mentioned he wasn't in the mood for big gore at the moment, but they all warrant a watch from a horror fan for sure.
  24. Juan of the Dead (Spanish) is a lot of fun. Also, a good new, low-budget flick called Afflicted just hit Netflix streaming and is also On Demand still, I believe. It's found footage, but doesn't seem too played out, and it's a nice twist on an old myth. I don't know what you've seen, but Near Dark is a good, action vampire flick from the 80s that might be the type of thing you're looking for.
  25. This is what I'm talking about. Looking for anything specific? Old/new? Foreign/domestic? Action-packed/slow-burn? I'm your guy for this.
