Lifestream for July 4th, 2011 – Christopher's Lives

	Natch. Easily worth a buck, esp in HD, 5.1. RT @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 7/4 is " Independence Day " http://fb.me/CYWZstiU
	Posted @ABQChristopher I was watching ID4 a few month’s ago and realizing the special effects are pretty bad by today’s standard..
	Posted @ABQChristopher for instance they used slo-mo on the explosion in NY but just decreased the frame rate rather than shoot more FPS.
	@KonyaHurricane yeah, I’d noticed on the blu-ray but I try to not use those words or else I invalidate many great movies of the past.
	@KonyaHurricane That "we shoulda’ shot it in slo-mo but we just slowed it in post" is a pet peeve of mine I see in quite a few flicks.
	Posted @ABQChristopher to be fair, even Lord of the Rings has a shot like that. I think I notice framerates because of being into the PC demoscene.
	@KonyaHurricane I imagine the director with the editor saying "what was I thinking not shooting it overcranked?!" and making the bad choice
	@KonyaHurricane that and the "I should have zoomed in but didn’t" and you get an editing room zoom with tell-tale bad resolution
	Posted @ABQChristopher I wasn’t aware of the zooming thing in a movie. Any classic example?.
	@KonyaHurricane was afraid you’d ask that because I can’t think of an example. Maybe next time I see one, I’ll tweet it at you.
	@KonyaHurricane I’m usually watching movies with people who don’t notice those things, so, it isn’t discussed and fades from memory.
	Glanced in the living room and Natalie Portman is on Sesame Street. … Move over, Wesley, we’re watching this one together :P
	When I see celebs not known for kid-friendly stuff on Sesame Street, I sometimes wonder if it’s ever a judge-ordered community service thing
	Ugh, she’s singing and shouldn’t be. When she talks, she sounds hoarse – obviously recorded the song previously.
