Ben Affleck on Digger
like high school bullying … you see it now with Digger a pretty ambitious interesting movie made by interesting people who have talent … if you punish movies that take risks … you’re gonna get a bunch of homogenized movies

Film editing rule I live by that has nothing to do with keyboard shortcuts, technology, plugins, or technical skill.

No, you’re not crazy! Night scenes DO LOOK darker now than they did in the decades prior.
But it’s not because cinematographers refuse to light their scenes (common misconception). It’s because the STYLE of lighting has changed. Let me explain. 🧵

As a kid, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, Poltergeist (which we all know was actually directed by Spielberg), were some of my favorite movies, but my absolute top tier favorites were sci fi/adventure stories like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Empire Strikes Back, Wrath of Khan, ET, Ghostbusters as well as victory parables like Rocky and Karate Kid, and all the John Hughes comedies. These films have down moments but what they end on is hope. That's a very important reason why I got into movies in the first place - those happy endings and the sense that the world is a good place. Indy lost the Ark but got the girl. Luke had his hand cut off but he shared hope with Leia and the droids. Kirk lost Spock but somehow life would flourish.
When I look back on the '80s, the lesson wasn't that the world was bleak like horror movies - struggle would happen, but everything would be ok. The greatest gift the movies gave me was optimism. Life is an adventure not a nightmare.
