Hand held cameras, jump cuts, and annoyance...

Okay...I don't often use this blog to rant, but...

We just paid seven and a half hard earned dollars to have one of the most frustrating cinema experiences in recent memory. Yes, we saw The Bourne Supremacy. The movie itself would have been fine IF the fucking director didn't decide to shoot everything with a handheld camera! It was like your head was in a paint shaker for two hours. This is NOT art. I mean, really, is this what they are teaching in film school these days? Crap. Total crap. It's okay to have some of that stuff in the fights and car chases, but for fuck's sake, do we need it from the time he wakes up in the morning right through to the end. No, I say. Boo, I say.

To add insult to paint shaker, the audience was abominable. Talking, laughing, and generally spoiling the movie for the three polite people who just wanted to escape for two hours. You wanna talk? Rent a video and do it at home you bastards. Just leave me out of it.

GRRRRR...

You really do feel like Rome is burning when you experience this stuff.

Hail Caesar, I'm going to bed.
