I mean, it's a good movie, but as much as it was pumped up, I was a bit let down.

I might see I Am Legend later. I hope it's good. Like I said before though, Smith fanboy = loving it either way :p

I enjoy Will Smith movies....except the MIB movies got boring after the first view.

He's a great actor though. Though he, like most actors, absolutely hates doing ADR.

BRA drops irrelevant knowledge ITT

Whatever, I liked [I]300[/I] a lot. I was obsessed with ancient Greek history a while ago, and the battle of Thermopylae was one of my favorite stories... so yeah. I liked it :p

[QUOTE=Riva;15688275]BRA drops irrelevant knowledge ITT[/QUOTE]

How is it irrelevant? Half of being a good actor is being good at ADR, whether the actor likes doing it or not, because production audio is rarely used in its entirity.

Matt: I liked it too, don't get me wrong, and I like those kinds of movies. It just wasn't the epic I thought it would be.

ADR being

Automatic Dialogue Replacement (Or Alternative Dialogue Replacement). It's a major part of post production.

Redoing dialogue in the studio after filming. Actores have to be extremely good at lip-syncing with vdeo and maintaining the passion of the moment they had while on-set. Smith is very good at it.


I'm watching [I]Darkness Falls [/I]right now. I forgot about this movie. It's quite enjoyable.

It just so obviously shoe-horned in because it's your field and you like to remind people of it. :p

And you didn't say whether or not he was good at ADR, just that he hated it.

last.fm is being a bitch

Hey guys hows it going?

Im not a big film buff so Im a little confused with what ADR stands for...

Is it not recording plays for you or something?

No, it won't let me change my avatar/edit my profile. Every time I upload an image it says "Maximum size 160×160 pixels (gif/jpg/png), larger images will be resized," even though the picture is the right file type and all of that. When I try to change one of the image links in my profile it "loads" and shows the exact same page as it did before.

I know it took my page a awhile to have the picture update after I changed it. Maybe just wait a bit and then retry it if it doesnt change by that point.

Hey victor, I explained ADR on the last page :thumb:

Jason: Yea, I know :p

It took about 24 hours for me to get my updated page to show, once.

People used to wear raincoats to dirty movies if they wanted to have a bit of a fiddle with themselves and not let others know about it.

Meh, just talking a break this weekend. I passed all my finals, so I'm taking some time to relax.

Then back to school for a week, then I'm off on break for almost 3 weeks. 'Twill be a welcome relief.

Congrats on the finals...I hope Im that lucky.

My finals are going to rape me...I really need to switch my major.

This past few weeks has been really, really hard because it's all been post-production/sound design/ audio for film stuff, and it's really not my thing. I'm geared more towards music recording, not film.

Both seem interesting at least. Im a finance major and I have the worst teachers imaginable.

At least you don't have teachers that are almost literally crazy. :lol:

Ugh. No wonder you want to change your major. Finance, economics and accounting strike me as dull. Dull, boring, awful, and just so desperately dull.

I know, I have been miserable this whole semester. My GPA went from a 3.4 to a 2.6 and I havent taken my finals yet...I cant stay awake in my classes and I never have studied so hard in my life to get such sh[I]i[/I]tty and mediocre grades. Its just not for me. Thank god I figured this out as a second semester sophomore and not later on in college.

Add to this, a teacher with a phd in accounting saying she had a hard time with the final she will be giving us....if my teacher cant take the final, how in the world am I supposed to take it.

Im thinking about going with Psychology. It seems interesting and I like studying people/helping them out with problems.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;15688621][I][FONT=Arial Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=deepskyblue]ZzzZZzzzzZzzzzZZZZzzzzZzzz[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/I][/QUOTE]

Exactly

Psychology is a very interesting field, yes. Though it is a bit of a jump. Wouldn't you rather make the leap in small stages, maybe through banking or insurance?

Ah yes, banking. It's a man's life, isn't it. Travel, romance, decisions affecting people's lives...

something I'd expect a science major to say :p

Finance is interesting if it's not your only object of study.

Thats what my dad said, but the thing is, Psychology has always interested me and I took many high level psych classes in high school and I took an intro to psych class at my university.

I thought of other forms of business and none of them really strike my interest. My decision for finance was sort of based on my dad talking about it all the time. Yes, there is a lot of money to be made in finance, accounting, banking etc., but I can make monye in other fields. Maybe not as much, but maybe more if Im lucky and good at what I do. I would rather choose a major and career that will make me happy rather than one which will give me a fat wallet.

Anthropology ftw

Are you still moving to Australia for a term, Chris?

I think I'd be a good object of study for a psychology thesis.

That's the plan, but I don't have anything set in stone yet. James Cook University, right?

I would study you...we could listen to music, smoke some weed, drink some beers and you can legally enter the country without having to cross the border illegally into California :p

I'm going to major in Joanna Newsom!

You're too hard on yourself, my friend. You're not exciting or interesting at all. :)

Yeah, though I dunno if they do scholarships or not.

So I just went upstairs to pee.

As I was peeing, this kitten we have decided to try and jump into or onto or across the toilet area.

In short: I just peed on my cat.
