Watch Metropolis, the height of Silent Film.
Watch Singing In the Rain, notice the transition to “talkies” its affects
Watch Batman (1989) and see how it borrowed from Metropolis
Watch these 3 to see how technology makes anything possible:
- Forest Gump
- The Matrix
- Jurassic Park
James Cameron has an Ace.
- See 3D go Big Time in Avatar and notice how this story robs Ferngully and Dances with Wolves (I think, I wrote something at the time but can’t find it now).
- Watch Titanic and see how badly Leonardo DiCaprio handles an accent for example but this movie still sets records. A handpuppet could have done that role apparently.

/ February 15, 2012Thank you. I built it with Twenty Eleven 1.3. It has nice features. I may change it later of course.
I think I also meant to say earlier that Avatar was Ferngully + Dances with Wolves. :O

/ March 18, 2012Re: MUSICAL SCOREFor a minute (well more like many notmhs) i thought i was crazy because i too recognized the theme from Enemy at the Gates. I thought it was just me because i figured it was a different composer, but since I’ve been watching it on DVD now for a few notmhs i’d figure i’d look up the composer, and along the way i found this post. Makes me wonder if composers are even allowed to do this with their music for different films, but i guess they are. I wouldn’t say that it was a bad fit, but since i heard it in a WWII era film, it is kinda hard to fit it here. For those that haven’t seen EATG i suggest watching it because its good, but i wasn’t sure it if it fits here. Just glad someone picked up on it besides me!

/ March 18, 2012On the T-Rex and Raptors:I saw the movie last night and I immediately oceintd that the large black cat-creature sounded like the Jurassic Park T-Rex too!! At first I thought it may be a coincidence but then when the six-legged horses showed up I also immediately oceintd that their bellows sounded SYNONYMOUS with those pesky raptors in JP (the film being one of my all-time favorites). They even used that unmistakable cackle the raptors screamed immediately after cawing. I hopped on the net to see if anyone else oceintd as well. Weird.
