Although I asked for the Jeffersons theme at the end of the show, I’m content with the Sanford & Son theme.
Kudos.
Posted by Greg on July 7th, 2008The Batman: Gotham Knight has been pitched as a “Sequel Prequel” to the Dark Knight, which puts it between the two films… but it certainly isn’t mandatory viewing. There are references to The Narrows, and the mob that are connected to The Dark Knight, but its more a marketing gimmick than a plot point.
Posted by Chip Chief on July 7th, 2008: ) I had noticed that. I like Sanford & Son better in terms of the theme song and definitely the show so its all good.
I bet this Halloween video will be great and hopefully involves some kind of practical makeup effects so I can see what Jay Cheel does with it. Sean running through fire and crying like a child would work too.
I may be an “idiot” but I’ve got a suggestion to consider. Other than for title cards I’m not sure whether I like fake film scratches. It feels really distracting at times, but understand it counteracts the sometimes artificial sharpness of the HVX-200. If you could find a filter for film specks or just decrease the opaqueness of a grain filter I think you can get the same effect with less distraction. Jay, I think fake film scratches are distracting to me for the same reason (that even you claim) CG is distracting: I know it’s fake.
I can’t wait to see Hancock because of this much discussed (in all reviews on the net) twist and hopefully I could figure out what movie Jay compared it too that spoils it.
Double kudos.
Posted by Ryan M. on July 7th, 2008Bah! Jeffersons, Barney Miller and Night Court are the best sitcom themes of all time.
Posted by Greg on July 7th, 2008No way, Quantum Leap has the best sitcom theme of all time.
Posted by Sean on July 7th, 2008Ouch..why the hate on Quantum Leap?
Posted by Greg on July 7th, 2008I don’t hate Quantum Leap, I just think the theme song sounds oddly upbeat.
Posted by Sean on July 7th, 2008You guys liked Starsky and Hutch? Or is this another example of me not picking up on the sarcasm. For now, speechless.
Posted by Andrew James on July 8th, 2008Loved Starsky and Hutch. Seriously.
Posted by Sean on July 8th, 2008Practical effects. ID4. Yes!
