LOL, There are other uses of the word “film” than whether it was shot on film.

And I believe my meaning clearly indicated the quality of the storytelling.

But thanks for the info.

Film is rapid flickering of still images, you are in the dark for half the time.

It’s a different psychotropic state just like the buzzing, flickering, green casting fluorescent lights are doing weird things to people’s mental states that soft white incandescent lights were not doing.

Better mousetraps aren’t always better. GOOD music is still recovering from the wide introduction of synthesizers (drums, keyboards, etc.) in the 1970s and 80s. Yes I know they go much farther back. But the earliest moog experiments weren’t so offensive (check out what Sun Ra did with one). Even Roger Waters commented that any monkeys could dabble with a sequencer and put together something but it wouldn’t be good for music (some comment made during the recording of DSOTM while they were filming Live at Pompeii).

“I also like a good dose of plausibility in a movie, and this one had virtually NONE.”

Exactly. As we watched the film I could not help but feel a bit skeptical. A lot of the story, action sequences, dialog, etc. did not ring true to me. And the scene involving the fire-extinguisher-propulsion-system was laughable.

The special FX’s were outstanding.

Re: Gadzooks! Just woke up from my night sweat, checked Ellen's Twitter and it looks like I must be... feeling somewhat better--

Well, big, the wider shot finally came out... and Bradley Cooper's evil footwork is exposed for all to see!

I didn’t make it past the half-way point. It was so dull and boring that it put me to sleep.

According to one person,Scorsese damn near dropped his slice or had a difficult time pulling it away from another slice.

I don’t remember who had said it.
