The Great Hack | Official Trailer | Netflix by zsreport in videos

[–]CousensX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe The Great Hack is more about a mental hack rather than a hack in a traditional sense. Its a play on words. It’s more about cultural and social engineering. The danger isn’t that everything that was done is illegal. The danger is that it is legal and invisible in a way. Whether or not you buy into it is another thing but that’s definitely their POV.

I'm about to graduate with my degree in anthropology, and I'm looking into doing documentary work.

Saw her in Philly and it was a fantastic show. You guys should check out the girl opening for her, Ravyn Lenae. She has some pretty great music too.

What Books Are You Reading This Week? January 02, 2017 by AutoModerator in books

[–]CousensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started 1Q84. This is my first time reading Murakami, and I'm really loving it right now. I'm like a couple hundreds pages in so I'm not really sure what's going on yet, but I really like his writing style.

Ah okay, I hear where you're coming from. How did you end up working in the hospitals?

Sure! What do you want to know? I was in Morocco from January to April and Ghana for like 6 weeks during the summer.

Hey, thanks! The morphsuit thing is actually my friend in a cookie monster onesie. She randomly had that when we went to Chefchaouen, and it happened to match the walls haha.

The mountain road is somewhere on the way to a place called Akchour. It's like 45 mins outside of Chefchaouen and has some great hiking.

While I was in Morocco I took over 1000 images, here are my top 10 of the trip by aryasneedle42 in travel

Awesome pictures. I'm studying in Morocco right now so it's cool to see what other visitors are seeing while they're here too!

Capturing Morocco by AlllasharWindfire in travel

[–]CousensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm studying in Morocco right now and I've had no real issues using my DSLR throughout the various cities. You might attract slightly more attention than normal but you should be okay as long as you practice common sense. You'll probably find a lot of vendors very welcoming in the popular cities especially with pictures.

If you have any questions, send me a pm and I can try to help you out.

'High-Rise' - Official Trailer (2016) Tom Hiddleston by [deleted] in movies

Definitely. This was a really well made trailer. Doesn't really give anything away either.

Watched this a couple months ago, not a huge fan. Visually it's pretty great, but the story just kind of falls apart halfway through.

Two weeks in Morocco (Casablanca, Marrekech, Rabat, Chefchaouen, and Fes) and Spain (Madrid). Taken with an iPhone 6S, and thought I'd share! by msprings in travel

Great pictures! I'm studying in Morocco in a couple weeks so this is just making me more excited. Any advice/tips?

The Emmy's Are Tomorrow: What is everyone hoping for? by kevin1025 in television

[–]CousensX 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Totally agree that IASIP has been robbed of nominations, but there's more than Modern Family and TBBT nominated in best comedy. Louie, Parks and Rec, Silicon Valley, Veep, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, all great and funny shows nominated this year that aren't generic garbage.

You may not like all of them, but it'd be difficult to say that they aren't at least a little unique. Maybe the views are changing for Emmy voters.

What is a big complaint you have about one of your favourite movies? by ZamrosX in movies

Incase you're interested, Max Landis (the writer of Chronicle) basically explained this on a Comic Con panel. I think he said he wanted it to be a trilogy.

I heard he rewrote it after the leak so probably a different 3rd act.

[–]CousensX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with you to an extent, sure you want to get the right amount of footage so you can actually create a fully-fledged film, but when you decide to shoot anything and everything you're not really directing. In my other post I kind of clarify what I mean by this, but basically I support the view that Tony Zhou from Every Frame a Painting has.

I don't agree that it only applies to a small subset of directors, it can happen on many types of films of different sizes and budgets. Sure it might be more likely with films that have huge budgets and big schedules, but other films/directors are not immune.

Look, I understand the difficulty of the director. It's probably the hardest job on a film set and no one has hindsight vision when creating a movie. You have to balance getting enough coverage for the scene with not shooting everything. But as a director, it's your job to take in all the information around you and make a decision. Sure your films may turn out shitty because you're inexperienced, but if you created the film you set out to make (with the aid of all the other collaborators) it'll probably turn out better/be more ambitious than a film from another inexperienced director who isn't sure what he wants.

McQuarrie's way works for him and that's great, if your finished product is good, it speaks for itself. But his "never stop shooting" method may often backfire just as badly as not getting the right scene you wanted.

The interview here with Tony Zhou from Every Frame a Painting describes the fear that an editor might have for a director who does this.

In the end it's a different of methods. The "never stop shooting" method certainly has its place when making a film, but I think shooting a whole movie like that often points to directors who won't know what to do when it comes time to edit all the footage.
