Yeah.. but if they expose who killed him.. might turn this shit into some gang related type joint
Someone might take a bullet for it nah mean. Catch the director in some gridlock

Anyways I'm hoping he really stirs his creative juices and takes it above and beyond the rim.

The me would say "become a baller and go play at the high rollers table at the casino".

Too bad I don't gamble.

The odd time I've been in a casino, it's always old Asian folk at the high roller tables... and they're putting stacks down. I'm jearous.

A+. I wasn't going to try to run the gamut so someone else could play. But you seem to have felt it was you against the world.

And most of the time; the action sequence is happening in the shadows or at night time.

Man, there was some movie recently that I watched that was absolutely worthless because of that. I forget what it was (because it was bad), but the whole thing looked like they shot it in the dark and the action was so fast that I just gave up and enjoyed my popcorn. Flicked my dickhead a little bit. But absolutely no idea what happened on screen because it was damn near impossible to see anything.

Probably made a billion dollars from neckbeards dressed up like whatever the characters were, though.

instead of close up shots, wide angle that bitch. full action sequence without chopping up the scene.
Might have to do with $$ and time more than anything tho

Well, I mean, it's all CG anymore, so why not just make the illustrators in Bangladesh work a little longer, right? The whole scene is probably already processed and all they do is zoom in, so it probably wouldn't even be any more work.

I think it's just to make scenes look crazier. You don't get that same effect, watching from 30 feet away, as you do from 5 feet away. I'm guessing actors can also move slower also, but up close, it looks crazy. From a distance they'd look like slow dancing tools.

I must admit, it's never bothered my eyes, but I do understand what you're referring to. There have been a few movies I've seen that I thought were getting way too much into the personal bubble of the characters.

Action done right. at 50 feet away!

it does have to do with time and money. Jackie states that in America, they dont have time to redo scenes over and over again. and that most american actors cant fight...so the camera makes it look like they are fighting

Yeah, my point exactly. I mean, there are guys that can do the scenes, there's way more that can't.

By "treat", you mean a bag of popcorn with a hole cut out in the bottom for where you plan to slip your penis in, right?
