Yes it Will

From Ignition City #4:



I want that as a wallpaper for my computer. I want that slogan on a t--shirt and coffee mug. I want it to become a new internet meme. And knowing the character and what he is fighting makes it even all the better. And yeah, I think I just found inspiration for my Halloween costume. Sort of combine that with the Aviator from Planetary. Yeah, and maybe even make my own blaster from scratch. One for the monkey as well. Oh yes, science will fuck you.

Ignition City
is from Warren Ellis and published by Avatar Press. Also, check out Bleeding Cool (hosted by Avatar) which has some of the best weekly writing out there right now.

Tom Reilly's Commandments of Great Filmmaking

From Tom Reilly's The Big Picture:

Shoot in flat light.

Keep the script to one hundred pages.

Sweat the small stuff.

Pick your ten best shots.

Shoot on a low floor.

Move the camera.

Assume nothing.

Recognize the power of a single line.

Have a nice lunch.


And the most important one:

If it's not in the shot, it doesn't matter.

Six Stages of Film Production

First saw this on a t-shirt from Deluxe during Welcome to Academia. Recently read it again in Behind the Seen:

1. Wild Enthusiasm

2. Total Confusion

3. Utter Despair

4. Search for the Guilty

5. Punishment of the Innocent

6. Reward of the Non-Involved
