First off, Producer credits go to Muramasa for making this production possible. All other credits go to me. Some credits go to participants, but in the end, I have the final artistic and creative say. In other words, by posting in this little corner of the boards you agree to let me use and edit your posts in whatever manner I deem most effective, and to the effect I so desire.
Now that you have read the disclaimer...
The purpose of this board is a rather self-indulgent and self-important reflection of my views, observations, theories, goals and ventures into the film world. So... if you can stand it, I will be submitting some of my own film criticism and theory for open discussion.
Being a film major, it is no surprise that I have an extreme deep love for the art and the potential that is the film medium. This does not mean that I love all movies, or that I am a connoisseur of film, or a film historian. I'm in it for the art: the meaning and the entertainment.
I am in it because, with the dimming of the lights and the ignition of a very bright one, the world can be made to look like an entirely different place or an entirely new world can be brought to life, sometimes that new world is our very own.
Upcoming discussion topics and articles that I am currently working on:
Sequel Vs. Prequel: An in-depth look at what makes a superior or equally valuable sequel. Established classics Such as The Godfather I/II, Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back, and more modern classics like Batman Begins/The Dark Knight will be analyzed and dissected to support this observation.
Entertainment and Meaning: A Hypothetical Suggestion to Making the Perfect Movie: It happens all too often, a film that you thought was the best movie of the year didn't win Best Picture or Best Director. You fail to understand why. This article will explain what kind of movies generally win those Oscars, and how it is possible to make a film that is both exceedingly entertaining and meaningful. Films cited will include Star Trek, Inglourious Basterds, No Country For Old Men, The Hurt Locker, and The Godfather.
Blackrose: Artistic and Creative Growth Through Motion Picture Production Practice makes perfect. In this article I will analyze my first and only "Motion Picture" to date: What good came from it that I should keep doing, and what bad came from it that I have learned from.
