Some people see “Shot on iPhone” and people think it’s just some bumblefuck named Frank standing there all by himself holding the iPhone with his hand and shouting “action!”

AVP owners and reviewers - can you input text via your iPhone? (similar to how you can input text to your Apple TV via iPhone)

Okay, gang. I think I'm finally ready to turn on iCloud Photos. (I know, I know. Long overdue.)

I have 158,000+ photos, totalling 550GB. It appears as though I have the iCloud storage available for it - I have 1.7TB available on iCloud (a 2TB plan).

Other than "just” checking the iCloud Photos checkbox, is there anything I should beforehand do to make this easier for me?

Should we do a filmmaking and visual effects Q&A?

Sure. Let's do it. I can do this all day.

I'll try to remember the #vfxqanda hashtag so you can mute it if it gets out of hand. I'll reply to specific questions, but I'll try and Quote Toot (sigh) broad questions that others might enjoy.

Funny— I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, since we are doing a full watch-through of “Seinfeld”.

Although Jerry and Larry David have a lot in common and are terrific collaborators, when you look at Jerry’s standup and all his interviews vs Larry’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and all his interviews, you see they have very different feeling about and humanity.

“2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968) is apparently FREE right now for purchase on Amazon Prime Video for some reason.

I love my wife but instead of -TAB’ing between applications she moves a window out of the way then clicks on the other app and it’s driving me NUTS

just read a culture critic who described “Memento” (2000) as “‘underrated’” and now I think we need to put everything on pause until we all agree on what certain words mean

I just don't understand how folks who have nothing to do with how movies are made just proclaim "no CGI here!" on movies that aren't even released yet

I'm really getting sick of hearing the phrase "They don't make movies like they used to!" Well no effing shit, things change! (Also, it means the person saying it stopped watching new movies.)

The more you watch making-of documentaries or listen to oral histories produced decades after the production the more you slowly realize that nearly every big action movie filmed in the 70's and 80's was a death trap.
