Oh yeah, Marble Hornets does a pretty good job of not being TOO shaky, and in bits and pieces so it's easier to take when it does. Its sort of an ARG - there are some theoretical interactive elements - but it stands without them, too.
^Which 70s films specifically are you thinking of, just out of curiosity?
Only your THIRD favorite?
NO. Fuck that movie--they killed animals in it. For reals. I don't care how quintessential it is now, that's not cool.
1 is The Joker Blogs. Because I'm *that* kind of nerd.
2 is That Guy With the Glasses in general; Diamanda Hagan's movie reviews in particular. Because she's awesome.
Other than the Twilight Zone. But pretty sure that was an accident, not on purpose.
Not an accident - reckless endangerment by an idiot who had been warned repeatedly of the safety concerns. There is an extensive report about that shambles of a film.
And there are a lot of films made pre-1970 which are considered solidly mainstream, and shown in film schools, regularly on television, and discussed at length in terms of "classic" which have much worse animal abuses.
It also isn't as if we are talking about The Twilight Zone, either, for which they killed kids to get a scene (which didn't make it into the final cut, granted, but still)...
Granted, but reckless endangerment is still a long ways from a deliberate act.
Also, is this the 'copter accident, or a different one?
And every time I find out about this sort of thing happening, I boycott it regardless of "quality."
Not familiar with SFDebris--I'll have to check him out.
No, go ahead, if you have any in mind--or PM me if you don't want to spoil anyone else, I guess. Real animals being really harmed for a scene pisses me off like little else. . . Although somewhat less so if all the people involved are dead now. (But only somewhat.)I'm not gonna spoil cinema classics for you, but you might want to read up on Hollywood history before indulging in classic B&W films...
He is awesome. He's the reason Captain Archer is so mocked, and why Janeway has become a memetic badass.

High Jungle, for one -
I love how you toss these titles out like they mean anything to anyone. Sometimes I swear you're just making them up as you go along and hoping none of us call you on it.
Bad news: My favorite band on Earth just broke up.
Are we gonna get a clue, or do I have to check through the last couple of days of news updates to find the story? *cringes at that prospect*
Been kinda quiet in here?
Sorry--My Chemical Romance. It was after midnight for me when you posted that.
I haven't seen the old Combat series in quite some time.
Though I have seen a LOT of the old Rawhide episodes I can't quite recall the movie being referred to there.
Remember, there are directors and actors who have been accused of murder and gotten away with it (one of them being one of my favorite directors).

Bummer. I like them. Are they going on to do other things?Sorry--My Chemical Romance. It was after midnight for me when you posted that.
