Free Software fundamentally misses the point. It fails on a practical, ideological, economic, and political level. Let’s examine precisely how (in a slightly different order for the purposes of presentation).

his other short film Mr. Night Has a Day Off, which you can watch here.


Good visual effects work. Yet funny how Mr. Night is just a humanoid cartoon with a texture of the stars.

The senior and the girl story I am working with @trueauracoral .


You are still writing that shared document?

The work is a well made propaganda piece for saving polar bears and respecting nature. It was made with association of National Bears International and National Parks Conservation Association. In that regard, the movie can be grouped together with Avatar and Interstellar.


I thought, when it opened, that is the Tony Scott produced, David Scott directed 2012 short about polar bears.

Also, to work like Avatar or Interstellar you need the get the numbers of these movies. There are undeniably better propaganda pieces. But those, more serious films, usually nobody sees. To get a real impact is to get a huge crowd to engage with the idea.

It's already written, we're story-boarding

I am aware. Not too long ago I listened to the author of Lithuanian best-seller "Pietinia Kronikas" by Rimantas Kmita, which was, surprisingly, his first novel. He is fascinated by Billie Eilish and her ability to make popular music with appeal, that has quality and substance in it. The author emphasized the need to make art read by others. When you are part of the writer's group and share your work, it is easy to get into the deep-end and create very artsy, but not popular works.

[icon reviews]Piranha II 1982 taught James Cameron how not to make sequels

We all know that James Cameron is a master when it comes to making sequels. His films like Terminator 2, Avatar 2 and Aliens are extremely good examples of how to make a sequel right. Unlike Steven Spielberg that avoids sequels. Steven avoided doing the second Jaws movie. James Cameron goes for it and wins. Speaking of Steven Spielberg's Jaws, not only sequels from that film were produced. Rip-offs, like the 1978 Piranha by Joe Dante also were produced. Those were parody material B-movie exploitation films. And so writer / director James Cameron decided to take the project of making a sequel to that Jaws rip-off, with his 1982 Piranha II: The Spawning.

[icon reviews]Mandy 2018 tries to out-do the weirdness of Only God Forgives

In 2019 on the Cannes film festival director Nicolas Winding Refn ( the director of the 2013 film Only God Forgives ) released episodes 4 and 5 of his ( then ) new multi-episode picture Too Old To Die Young. Episode 5 titled "The Fool" contains a car chase scene. Some argue it is one of the most romantic car chases in cinematic history. The joke is, that the car chase is set to a romantic Barry Manilow's 1974 hit "Mandy", making the juxtaposition rather hilarious in nature. But given the ass-born theory specialist that I am, I must suggest an interesting twist to this whole ordeal. During the principal photography of the first episode of Too Old To Die Young another film-maker Panos Cosmatos released a film, strangely similar in style to whatever Refn is doing. And his film was called Mandy. We can theorize that maybe Refn responded, in his strange way, recognizing the stylistic similarities, so to speak.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer didn't only work with the legendary Michael Bay. He worked with other legends too, like Tony Scott and in the case of Con Air Simon West who directed the Rick Astley music video Never Gonna Give You Up. Yet probably due to it being the first collaboration of Bruckheimer and West ( because it is West's directorial debut when it comes to feature films ), Bruckheimer steered him a bit to copy a style of another director he worked with. Michael Bay.
