I was frankly scared to re-experience the original James Cameron picture
Avatar after knowing for certain that it is much worse, technically speaking, in comparison to the second film in the franchise. Yet I was confident that the film at the very least should be good. So I took my worries aside and watched it again. Does it hold up? Well let's talk about it.

How The Fabelmans Traumatized Me

I remember sitting at the entrance to a local cinema near me, shivering from a new kind of depression. I was waiting to enter the screening of
Avatar: The Way Of Water, which was released in cinema just after
The Fabelmans. The previous film I have seen in that very cinema, maybe already a week before that, was
The Fabelmans and that dreadful feeling I had was caused by that movie. I was committing an act of masochism going back to cinema right after the trauma I experienced, and I was pretty sure Avatar 2 would only make it worse. I didn't care. I went anyway. Thank god that
James Cameron decided to limit references to himself to a few nods to Titanic and stuff, and instead made a movie that is pretty much designed as a joyride. I don't know if I was alive today if Avatar 2 was anything like
The Fabelmans.

I have a soft spot for
J. J. Abrams. His masterpiece
Super 8 inspired me greatly to develop film-projects when I was a teenager. But his 2009 other masterpiece
Star Trek ( together with 2009'th other Sci-Fi masterpiece
Avatar by
James Cameron ) is what pretty much started my obsession with space movies.

It is infamous at this point that the production of the
Michael Bay quickly assembled into something from which a good script could be written. This movie started production without a script, only a rough idea of the story, which is not a bad rough idea. But all of the little details were not there at all by the time of production, leaving Bay pretty much at the helm of coming up with stuff on the spot.

Developing a Way to do Action Scenes Without Money

I'm in the middle of developing a movie in which there is a car chase. You know me
I can't live without a car chase. But this time I'm trying to make the movie properly. By "infiltrating the movie industry" as some people suggested to call it. Which means ( since I live in Israel ) I need to write something that is possible to do in Israel. Getting $40 million to shoot a first feature film in Israel is not something that I can expect to happen. So instead I need to come up with something else.

People are flawed. All of us are. Each has something stupid about. And the funny thing is, it's impossible to avoid people either. We had tried! Lock-downs didn't work. People want to be with other people. And it's preferable that people would be with other people often. Communication is often a key to good psychological state. If we don't want all people to turn to murder maniacs we should never allow lock-downs to happen.

Team Of LiViT and Space Chabad are perhaps the stupidest epic idea I ever had in mind as a movie project. And which taught me a great bunch of things. This is why I want to write about the expenses of these projects.

Being a fan of mostly action cinema, and plot heavy thrillers makes it feel as if
Call Me By Your Name has no plot what so ever. But it is a mistake.
Luca Guadagnino is a kind of director that tends to film very subtle movies. But if you are paying attention and you are invested in the characters themselves, those movies tend to have very strong effects. This is why I love
Call Me By Your Name so much. It is as if I went on a vacation to Italy myself and spent my time with the characters of this movie. As if I had become their friend. And as if I myself got invested in their day to day little struggles.

There are a couple of movies that are so dear to me that I keep watching the end credits all the way through. Often crying through them. And
Leon: The Professional is one of those movies.

There is this satisfaction when it comes to animation, that
I know from personal experience where the longer you work on a shot, or a sequence, the more details there is in the animation, the more satisfying it is to later just watch this insane level of effort simply wash over you one frame after another.
