Star Trek XI Plot

[Atrocities]

Correction, smart people with video camera's find safe vantage points for which to record steadily from. What pisses me off the most about people with video camera's is that every yahoo with one thinks he is a zen master making videographer. I have been in the industry since 1985, and I cannot tell you how many times I have been told "no my best friends brother's uncle has a new video camera, he's going to tape our wedding for free. We would like our money back." Two weeks later they come back, crying and all that, and ask me if there is anything I can do with the bouncy nasty video they got from their free wedding video. It is truly a sad sad thing. All because you have a guitar or a piano doesn't make you a music master. So why in Gods name would any one want to pay $8.50 to ticket to sit through two hours of intentionally badly made video of stupid people running through New York while a giant octopus is attacking the city? Next it will be a video about people running from zombies. If I want to watch badly made videos, I will watch NBC news or youtube.

I'll have you know I shot my sister's wedding :



actually It scared the hell out of me. It might be that everyone said I did well not only because they were trying to cheer me up, something I always suspect, but also because I was so afraid of messing it up I concentrated on filming and didn't pay much attention otherwise. The tripod we got helped too.

I also sculpted the roses on the cake.

A saying in our family is you get what you paid for. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.

trying to find a safe vantage point to tape the monster! what! No, run from the damn monster!

As for cloverfield, I suspect videotaping while fleeing doesn't work out too well. I suspect you also said the same of Blair Witch

As for the rest of your post, I sympathize. My brother in-law stylizes himself as a professional musician / voice actor / singer. No one can convince him otherwise. Even when his customers slug him in the face for whatever that sound he makes is supposed to be.

[GI-Joe]Kids, this is why you don't base your self-respect on something you do. Especially something you don't do well.[/GI-Joe]

I stopped arguing with him about his <sarcasm> stunning </sarcasm> music career. He's 31 years old and I'm sure his career will take off once he finds a music label dedicated to serving the deaf.


Anyhoo.

Moral of the story is run from monsters while other people stop to videotape it. They'll slow the monsters down enough to allow you to make a safe getaway.

You don't have to outrun the monster, just the other guy.

And if you can't outrun the other guy, trip him.
