My New Concert Blog

I got a new lens for my Blackmagick Pocket Cinema camera:

Yeah, I know.  But it’s a 7-14mm lens, so I can finally get the entire stage in frame.

I don’t think I quite got peeps in focus, though.  And I should have used my external microphone, because the internal microphone is awful: Whenever there’s a loud sound, everything goes CRUNCH.

TSP2011: We Need To Talk About Kevin

We Need To Talk About Kevin. Lynne Ramsay. 2011.

I remember reading about this film way back then in 2010 and thinking it sounded awful. So I was prepared for a Benjamin Button sized turd.

This is a kinda good film, and perhaps an important film, but it’s such an enormous downer. And the archer thing is just silly. Perhaps the film-makers wanted to be original, but it’s silly.

The moral is: Don’t have kids.

TSP2010: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Trader

It’s Alan Moore!!!

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Trader. Michael Apted. 2010.

This is much better than the second film. The only thing I remember from the book is the picture on the well, and that that annoying kid was annoying. The film certainly reflects the book in that regard, but he’s funnier than I remember.

I would have enjoyed this film hugely when I was ten, I think.
