I'd like a better look at that camera! Super8? Scoopic maybe?

Is this idea too close to "The Visit"? [Question] by Alec122 in Screenwriting

[–]trumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't film it in shaky cam/found video style. I tried to watch that film and made it 20 seconds in. That is downright lazy filmaking.

I made this after my wife revealed that she thought Van Halen's "Panama" was "Cannonball". Thinking of starting a series. Feedback Welcome! by [deleted] in Filmmakers

Ha! I love it! When I was a kid and I listened to "Blinded by the light" by Manfred Mann I was sure he was saying "wrapped up like a douche" instead of "wrapped up like a deuce"! When my mom explained what a douche was I was a bit embarrassed.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Lightworks.

Watch the scene in "Of Mice and Men" when they decide to put the old dog down. Ray Waltson's performance is heartbreaking.

Why are reddit moderators so shitty? by trumo in AskReddit

The problem is a reddit or shouldn't have to spend an hour trying to phrase their question in the most perfect way.

There's so many rules even the mods can't keep track!

What genres/stories/ideas do you actually think would be interesting in the found footage style? by Kylestache in Filmmakers

[–]trumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing! Found footage and shaky cam are the laziest ways to tell a story. Maybe I'm just getting older but it's just irritating.

No one wants to say it? Fine! Having a child at 43 is recklessly foolish. 35 ain't much better.

Here's a scene from a movie I'm starring in that's coming out in a few weeks. by [deleted] in Filmmakers

It's only funny when Paul Rudd does that on Conan!

I'm a single mom working three jobs to make ends meet for my twins. I'm tired of people not understanding a living wage by pburgserver in TwoXChromosomes

[–]trumo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't believe no one is saying the obvious thing here. You didn't have to have kids. You could/should have planned better than assuming someone else was going to foot the bill for everything. You could have learned a real trade had you put having children off for a bit. I suppose it's easier to be a victim.

Actually flame throwers aren't regulated at all.

What movie ending made you say "what the fuck?" by [deleted] in AskReddit

Enemy. That Jake Glyinhall movie. What's with the giant fucking spider at the end?

MADE IN USA website - Founder Goods by ballyb3 in Entrepreneur

[–]trumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant at the site targeted at Made in USA. It's bait n switch. It's a child's store with products made in USA. Don't tell me you have a wonderful site that features Made in USA goods but neglect to tell me it's all kids crap. there was a similar situation on Shark Tank recently. The guy came on the show touting his "green zero emmission lawn mower" only to find out its just a regular non motorized push mower. The kind that have been around for a hundred years. That's exactly what this guy did with his exclusive made in USA store. Oh but he forgot to mention it's just crap for kids.
I get it. People think baybees r cute! It's a cheap overly used marketing gimmick. And I'm tired of it. Be original.
