Well they had it coming... WB did not kill anything... Nolan did. as well all the top actors and top director...Movie budget are getting completely out of hand.. Nolan took 20 million salary for tenet. How can that be justified? Top actor are paid tens of millions. Now, the last time I wanted to go to the cinema, probably 18 months ago, the tickets were £15.50 for their so called Imax experience... So 31 quid for my wife and me. imagine if we had the kids!! Well enough said... We simply didn't go. not because we can't afford it but because it's insane to spend such an amount to pay for a below par experience. the last few times I have been to the cinema in the last 5 years they were 10 to 15 people max in a 300 seat cinema... What experience is that? my suggestion... Bring actors and directors back down to earth, pay them decently.. make good film with good script and story for 25 million max, put the cinema ticket around £6-8, and I bet you that they will fill up again... or go on spending 200millions on some crap with high price ticket and the 20th century fox and the others will follow in the footstep of WB...

I feel sad for the few good cinema's, but let's face it, one is often better of watching a movie from home these days. Sharper picture, and decent, not tinnitus invoking audio. Plus we skip those annoying ads.

Oh boy!!!! This world is freaking me out... that feeling of freedom we think we have... Sorry I'm closing on 50 Years old, I lived through interesting decades 80' 90' and now this!!! Give it another 20 years and I think some of those old scifi movies might just be a reality....

Well, Ebrahim, Thank you for your general life advice, although it felt patronising in parts. but that's fine!
 
A Community is exactly what Andrew has created. I have followed him and enjoyed his reviews since the beginning of his blog. I have also enjoyed some of his shorts and purchased two of his books.
 
I will not denied that Andrew has done a great job. But what I will not accept, is for people to be banned for emitting their opinion on his short film. I don't think they were insulting at all, clumsy at best. I even sensed, taking into account Andrew extensive knowledge, that they were probably expecting something more meaty from him, and that I believe is their right. 
 
Some directors, that I hold in high regards, have produced some poor films. I glad they didn't ban me from watching the rest of their body of work.
 
Andrew's action were extreme. We should all learn one pure truth. you cannot please everyone and that's that. Now let's accept it and move on, because the subject of acceptance is wild and wide, and unfortunately only too few really care or respect it.
 
Sorry If offended anyone, but that did make me upset

WOW...
 
You removed removed Nog and Baltic. I guess Lincoln was right in that if you want to test a man's character, give him power. I can't talk about over threads, but in this Thread those 2 guys were giving their opinions and frankly I think they had a point. I'm not a fan of that video either, that does not make you a rubbish filmmaker. You just made a piece  that some like and some other don't. 
 
Please feel free to also remove my account if you also think that I'm causing trouble. You will then just have lost all credibility to me.
 
Regards...

As these user names seemed familiar to me, and I felt I had seen useful and helpful post from these guys in the past I decided to see what kind of trouble the were causing.
 
Of baltic's 8 posts I would consider 7 o them to be helpful normal discussions, this being the only exception.
 
And of Nog's 13 posts I didn't find any that were looking to cause trouble, the were all offering opinions, help, or information. This was by far his most troublesome post.
 
Baltic's fanboy comment was out of line and I don't agree with telling someone what kind of videos they should make, but is that single post ban worthy? As for Nog, unless you removed all of his troublesome posts so I was not able to find them he absolutely didn't deserve getting banned for that statement. Do you really feel that is trouble making?
 
I am a huge fan of your site and the work that you do, I check in here almost daily since it is one of the best sources for information on anamorphics which is a large interest of mine. But I have to say that banning these individuals, especially Nog in this way is more damaging for the community than anything they did. Am I missing something here?

The vistavision sized sensor will lend itself better to locked down shots anyway.  Ultimately look at the rolling shutter as something to limit the camera movement and impart a bigger feel to what you're shooting.  Fast paced cinematic full frame always looks strange to me since if it were a proper sized cinema camera very often there simply wouldnt be the means to move the camera fast enough to promote rolling shutter artefacts anyway.  I cant remember the last time I saw a shot on any film where the dp has requested the operator swings the camera from left to right over and over again.  

Andrew, for someone who says "attention seeking for clicks." on the post above, You look like someone who knows how to play the game quite nicely too  ;) 
 
Oh well, that was a nice april's fool  :D
