If this is what they call the new CINEMA VERITÉ, they’re missing the tricycle totally. :)

I would rather classify it as: IDIOTIC CINEMA.
This one is worse than riding the modern roller coaster, or even worse, the new, so-called Westcoast Wheel, a 90-foot tall giant wheel that will surely empty your stomach completely after the ride! But, at least the ride only lasts for a few minutes. :)

Ferres:

You’re absolutely right. Cloverfield seems to last a lifetime. Are there enough young people possessing a very strong tolerance for motion sickness these days? Honestly, I’d rather take the Seattle-British Columbia-Alaska Cruise anytime than sitting in front of this film for the whole 85 minutes of it. Many people actually left the theater ASAP just like what you and I did. :)

I’m still in disbelief how the producer of this film decided to such an awful concept of film making. Definitely a stinker. :(

Gerry,
Thanks for the info, I won’t have to cancel this purchase. :)

I also got pissed -off by that movie. Is that the latest state-of-the-arts CINEMA VERITE? kindly elaborate. Thanks….

He-he. What can I say. I have the same sentiment about this hyped movie.

The material is as thin as an onion skin, very little is explained, since the story is told completely through the video camera.
Dizzying, man. Gave me vertigo. I nearly vomitted. And I mean, seriously.

Ay, carramba! Gentes, no mira esta pelicula.
:(

I tried watching ‘Cloverfield’, couldn’t last 15 minutes… Completely unwatchable for me. If the new Trek movie is filmed the same way, then I can not watch that either. :(

Yeah, we know what you were saying, you were being ironic and we understood that. I was just teasing you, my man. Like most of us, you’ve seen the logic why Gerry did what he did.

Mike:

Exactly. That’s why it looks very appealing.

The truth must be selective in whatever we write and draw. There’s no point putting everything in there if it will no longer add up to what we are trying to say. If there’s such a thing as brevity of expression in writing, there should also constraint in the use of lines in rendering an illustration.

Even in film making, crowd control is the most difficult thing to execute. The director must keep the scene looking crowded, yet it should still possess the so-called Splendor of Order.

In HIMALA by Bernal, this aspect was totally neglected or overlooked, and the crowd scene of that film looked chaotic: anything goes and allover the place! Result: I left the theater with a terrible migraine.

Some komiks can also give us migraine if the artist does an overkill by putting all the lines and details like there’s no tomorrow.
:)

Then again I’m also guilty of that when I add familiar local places as backdrop. ^_^
