My audio Review of ALL films - Download Now :)

thanks Lawrie, very kind of you and you've some excellent thoughts here!

I deeply appreciated that you notice that I am trying to look beyond simply recreating what I see and trying to film something new, and also to be inspired by a wider net.

Yep, in fact if the USA ever invades Scotland it wouldn't be long before Scots pulled down my statue too!

In fact if I ever come across as a little bit condescending then i find this pic immediately calms people down, and they see what a nice megalomaniac I am lol

(Anyway i'll stop prattling on!)

You're the kind of megalomaniac that I simply cannot help but marvel. Now now, you're no megalomaniac, but a dapper and "kindly" fellow that gives really well designed and critical analysis of our humble films. And I'm sure we all appreciate it. I certainly do for the perspective of someone abroad as well as entertainment value. Very charming stuff. :beer:
 
Thanks for the review. As a cowriter, I take any comments towards story or thematic principles to heart and learn from recommendations given. In that our subject matter was very in line with Heroes, we attempted to branch away from some of the stereotypes associated with heroes and villains. It was Chris who originally conceived the "super soldier" aspect, which I felt definitely seperated Blackout from the "natural evolution" reasons behind Heroes and X-men. The problem with Superhero films is that they are all derivative of each other on some level. I can remember in the script stage, Chris even mentioned the Keene Act from The Watchmen. So from that, we rolled a bit.

After some back and forth, we both felt the script was where we wanted it, though we both knew that some of the devices we used had been used before. Originality died with the wheel, I always say.

So as a writer, I whole-heartedly thank you for digging into the story depths of the film in your review. I can't comment on anything other than that, so thank you.

Good point. I haven't run across them in the reviews. Maybe I missed them?

No, they don't seem to be in the recording at all. Odd. :huh:


While I'm here, as the actress in Tiny Dancer, I want to thank you, lawriejaffa, for thinking I'm cute haha. You made me blush, sir :dankk2:And also for the kind words on the film. Jon and I are proud of what we've done (even though there's still lots of room for improvement, of course), and we're so glad you enjoyed it!
 
I understand where you're coming from it was extremely self-indulgent - "watching the director pleasure himself" - thats great stuff haha. I just hope you don't see me as some brain-dead fratboy though I'm really not. Just silly. :grin:

Thanks for the review, I enjoyed you taking the time and I'll take away what I can from it, here's to improvement in the future. :beer:

Thanks guys - And oh what a nuisance that i've missed some films out however I will get those films reviewed tonight that I have missed- and will upload a smaller audio segment for them ;)

So rest assured theres nothing personal for those films not reviewed - simply missed due to lack of caffeine (well 'tea' actuall) and I will get reviews up :)

Again its a pleasure to review, and please feel free to comment or disagee, - my thanks goes to all the filmmakers as I really enjoyed Lossfest, and of course its great having a bunch of free short films to enjoy.
 
This is a GREAT idea... most entertaining! Thank you for taking the time to put this together, I'll be listening to it as I work throughout the day.
