    Heh, same same same.
    That's kind of weird. Well, I don't have any astigmatism that I know of but I use my dominant eye for everything but reading and shooting, basically. Even with my glasses on, I use it for driving. If I try to drive with my other eye, even equipped with glasses, I find it very disorienting.

    Hey, a cock-eyed brother!
    I'm the same way, it's a bitch sometimes but it's not bad most of the time.

    Have you had any detriment in your less-used eye's vision? I haven't but my optomitrist insists that it's extremely common, so I'm a little worried.

    Unfortunately, they have a tendancy to simply stop working. Which is worse; at least with firey death you get a light show and possibly a million dollar lawsuit.

    While I was "doing it for the lulz", I'd like to remind everyone that anti-zionists are not necessarily anti-semitic. More importantly, not all Jews are zionists. Certainly many jews are not. Small j.

    I'm speaking of the "Zionism" concept of an Israeli state. I've not read the protocols of the elders of zion nor do I care about one ethnic group's attacks on another. You all stink the same to me.

    Also, I am not a bigot, I am a misanthrope; the difference, in affection, may be subtle, and that's ok.

    While I do not have antennae, currently, I find the idea interesting and strangely arousing.

    The Bush government is actually, actively, killing people every day.
    Just as the Israeli government.
    Just as the Iranian government.
    Just as the *.
    People kill people. Entities kill people. Life feeds on life. It's not a big deal.

    Humanity?
    "the condition or quality of being human"
    Death is at the heart of the human condition.
    Killing is in the heart of all Man.

    Respect. From Humanity? For what? I place no value on such a thing.
    From an individual? Maybe. I might be so inclined, if I did find their company not displeasing. However, this is slashdot, and I've little to gain from practicing such politesse here.

    Good day, sir.

    Not to be facetious but what's "modern technological standards"?
    We went decades upon decades without digital editing, let alone recording.

    $100M minimum?
    You can make a film, *film* now, for a fraction of that. You could shoot on video and make it a fraction of that fraction.

    It seems to me that the amazingly high cost of movie making comes from ridiculous CGI, over-inflated talent payrolls, and marketing blitzes that start a year before the movie's even done shooting.

    Clerks was ~$40k
    pi was ~$60k
    cube was ~$250k

    I'm not trying to pull some bullshit romanticism faggotry. I'm just saying that pandering to the masses with shineys and pretty faces that we all know and love isn't going to promote cinema as an art.

    There's nothing wrong with either but there should be room for both.
