I read a column in an old Popular Photography magazine. The columnist received a letter from an insurance salesman who owned a camera and decided to be a photojournalist. He wanted to go on assignment somewhere exotic. He asked where to sign up and how much he would be paid.Even educated people thought they could just pick up their cameras, head for a war zone and be professional photojournalists.Well. Turns out the idiots were right. It doesn't take years of experience to be a highly paid professional photographer. All it takes is a camera.There's a documentary made by Adrian Grenier called Teenage...

Paris Hilton barred from Japan
I was generally on Paris Hilton's side during her ordeal in the county jail. A few people made fun of her for having a GED instead of a high school diploma, an insult to all those with GEDs, and an insult to the quarter of all high school graduates who can't pass the test for a GED.But I had mixed feelings. I hate drunks, drunk drivers and, generally, rich people. Wasn't Paris laughing as one of her rich scumbag friends denounced one of their movie star friends for being "poor" because she only had a few million dollars? And what was the thing about her using racial slurs?The sex tape wasn't her...

Hawaii Five-0 stinks
Okay, so I watched the new Hawaii Five-O. My God, it was bad. Steve McGarrett and Dan Williams both talking in phony New Jersey accents. The sounded like John Travolta in his early, moronic roles. Do they think that sounds naturalistic?I've never seen Hawaii look uglier than it did on that show. They apparently screwed around with the color and contrast. They must have thought they were making it look cinematic. Like the old soap operas where they would make everything brown because they thought it made it look more expensive.Here's a shot from the show to give you an idea what they did to it:Now,...

Joaquin Phoenix, Woody Allen
Andy Warhol used to make these "movies". They were portraits on 16mm film. The person would sit and they would turn on the camera for 12 minutes or however long the roll of film ran. The idea was that the person posing for the picture couldn't maintain a front for that long. Their true self---their true facial expression, which I guess means their neutral facial expression, would come out at some point before the film ran out.But then you have Woody Allen in Wild Man Blues, a cinema verite documentary about his European tour with his amateur jazz band. And amateurs they were. Some European critics...

How the hell do you break into the movie industry?
You want to avoid the expense of film school, to avoid graduating with a massive debt and a worthless degree. You have to figure out how to make the connections without enrolling, which doesn't seem like it would be that hard.It seems like someone who wants to be a filmmaker had BETTER be able to come up with something more creative than "go to film school, then get a job."There's always Toronto with its thriving film industry.With the economy the way it is...The economy is lousy. But the rich now are MUCH richer than they were just ten or twenty years ago. It's not that the economy isn't working---it's...

Double features on DVD
Roger Ebert suggested ideas for double features. It was in the back of one of his books. His idea was to rent two movies to watch together.I don't really remember them, except he kept suggesting you watch the original movie, then the re-make, which seemed rather uninspired. And he suggested this with some really long movies---The Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven which would be awfully long.But okay, here are my suggestions. Double features. Movies you can compare and contrast:PsychoandA Touch of EvilA Touch of Evil exemplified Orson Welles' approach---long sequence shots and composition...

Magic Charger for Apple's Magic Mouse
Image from http://www.engadget.comMobee, a Switzerland-based company, just released a great product. An inductive Magic Charger for Apple's Magic Mouse. Weird and corny the name may seem, it is somewhat magical. We all are familiar with how great Apple's Magic Mouse is and how strong it consumes batteries making it expensive to use. You would have used and trashed many alkaline batteries or constantly swapping in a fresh pair of rechargeables. The Mobee Magic Charger removes this with its inductive charging mini-USB base station and battery pack that slots into Apple's mouse. And it weighs...
