VR

I've been waiting for my entire teenage to adult life for VR.

Living in Silicon Valley, you'd think that this stuff would be at the forefront. But no, its all hardware here, very little software companies.

It started with CD-ROM games like Night Trap that gave me those ideas as possibilities.

Not that 3D is bad but its still just a screen. VR is the technology I'm waiting to tell my stories.


Why? Because watching I want to take you to a new world.

21 year old feature film director

I really laugh out loud(lol) when I see an ad in a filmmaking magazine that has a 21 year old talking about how they shot a feature film. Now I'm not claiming these people out there are wrong or anything but I've never met a 21 year old with any wisdom.

My thoughts about comic books and movies

I do like comic book movies. They are worlds apart. All there is are reboots and revamps and sequels. Why all the crap? Because comics are ongoing series, and movies have no option but to show origin stories or sequels. No movie is going to go right into the character without showing where they come from. I know I wouldn't want to go see a film without loving that protagonist or at the very least seeing my own qualities in them.
That's the problem. My guess is the fix to this is that comic book movies will eventually die down. My best fix is to only see a few of characters no matter if I've read a few issues or been with the series from start to finish.
Yes I've seen all three(so far) Punisher movies. The attitude and darkness have only been captured in the first one. The second one was horrible, the third was slightly better.
Yes I seen all three(so far) Spider-man movies. Big mistake being tricked into seeing the third one.
X-men: First Class is probably in the top section of newer films that actually felt like watching a comic movie besides too many cheesy one liners.The worst examples have been the X-men Origin series. I keep saying this on boards or in articles but Wolverine is a short, ugly French-Canadian. Make it right or don't make it.
