So if they run out of film 5 minutes before the end of the movie do they have to start all over again?
You're joking, right?

There is no film. Do you mean, the link doesn't work for you? I'm sorry if so. It does for me. Sometimes when I post a link it shows, then later it doesn't, but on my end it does. You can watch it here on youtube if you like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq4t3f6LmDA I don't really expect anyone to care...but there's not much posted here anyway, so I figure, WTH?
I think he meant the cameras don't use film because they're digital?
I could be wrong, I was once.

I'm still a movie geek. I believe that movies are meant to be seen in the format they were shot for. They are so much better as pieces of art. That doesn't mean I go and see every movie, and most movies I do want to see don't even come to the theater in Medford. I liked it better when we had 4 cinemas.
By the way...I saw the latest Tarantino film, at the theater. Now, I'm not a huge fan of Tarantino. I know he has his fans, but I'm so so about him...it depends on what he's doing. Some I love, others I could pass on. I know that excessive, over the top violence his trademark. I know some people love it. I only like it small doses. I thought Once upon a time in Hollywood was very good. Cinematically it was a real treat and he made a good job of evoking 1960's Los Angeles, which is near enough to But I thought it made it better. I really enjoyed it. And I think seeing it on the big screen made it amazing.

Same here, I enjoyed it. I also think DiCaprio did a fantastic job in the movie.
Saw Downton Abbey last weekend, I think any fan of the show will enjoy the movie, I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. We almost decided to just say to heck with it and wait for it to be released to streaming or DVD, but I'm really glad we changed our mind and went to the theater. The cinematography on the big screen was fantastic.

I went to see that...kind of Why not? I thought it was a tad contrived and tied up with a pretty bowm, but figured it wouldn't go to a streaming I'd see anyway. I go to the movies by myself.

No shame in going to movies alone, in the past few years if I added them up I'd say I have gone to more alone than with someone. My wife and I are not the joined at the hip kind of couple, (those kind of couples actually annoy me, but that's a different topic) if it's a movie I want to see and she doesn't, I go alone, simple as that.

There was no hype or reputation to this film yet..I remember coming out of that movie and really wanting to talk to someone about it. And also, there was something about it, subtle bits of acting that didn't carry over to the small screen. Not even a big small screen. Same with big movies like The Revenant, or The Martian or Intergallactic, that just need a big screen to have the effect.

I'm bothered by movies when they are not believable. This was the case for the Revenant. The wolves were ridiculously big and acted nothing like real wolves. Jumping off a cliff and sliding down the branches. Falling in the river and crawling out then somehow magically finding what he needed to start a fire.
The battle scene was like the Indians were invisible and shooting compound bows.
I still liked the movie especially the filmography. I think movies are made for kids who are bored by anything realistic.

I agree with you mostly. However, if a film can convince me to suspend disbelief, then that's to it's credit. I know that particular film was based on a real person and obviously it was highly exaggerated. But, I mean, you watch GOF right? That requires suspension of all disbelief because it's fantasy. I think for the Revenant I just suspended disbelief in order for a good story to be told.

Sorry, GOT You're fucking with me right? What the fuck is GOT? OK never mind I had to Google even that acronym.
Anyway I don't see how you can compare the the two. GOT was fantasy or science fiction. It was full of full blown magic and paranormal crap.

I'm not comparing the two. I'm talking about you. You show that by watching fantasy and science fiction that you are able to suspend disbelief. That's what I'm saying. So, in a film like the revenant, which is admittedly not supposed to be fantasy, I am able to suspend my disbelief at the wolves and what not. Although apparently that guy did get attacked by a bear that he killed and some of those other things did occur...so I just suspend my disbelief if the story is compelling enough.

However, if a film can convince me to suspend disbelief, then that's to it's credit. I know that particular film was based on a real person and obviously it was highly exaggerated. But, I mean, you watch GOF right? That requires suspension of all disbelief because it's fantasy. I think for the Revenant I just suspended disbelief in order for a good story to be told. GOF ????
Sorry, GOT You're fucking with me right? What the fuck is GOT? OK never mind I had to Google even that acronym.
Anyway I don't see how you can compare the the two. GOT was fantasy or science fiction. It was full of full blown magic and paranormal crap.
I'm not comparing the two. I'm talking about you. You show that by watching fantasy and science fiction that you are able to suspend disbelief. That's what I'm saying. So, in a film like the revenant, which is admittedly not supposed to be fantasy, I am able to suspend my disbelief at the wolves and what not. Although apparently that guy did get attacked by a bear that he killed and some of those other things did occur...so I just suspend my disbelief if the story is compelling enough.
Well sure I can overlook what is not real watching fantasy and science fiction. But not when what I'm watching is not supposed to and should not have unbelievable parts. Especially when it's about a true story. I don't mind if they embellish the story, they always do. But for me it has to be believable. From the very beginning when INVISIBLE Indians were shooting high speed laser guided arrows with unbelievable accuracy I was somewhat disappointed.
He climbed out of an ice cold river and all I could see was snow and magically he was able to to start a fire?
As far as the wolves.. That was a different movie I had confused with the revenant LOL
