I never understood that, Harris...did you play Master Chow? The studentfilms.com credits say you did, but then at the end of the movie the credits have Master Chow as played by someone else...what gves?
I'm Chow. We made up all the credits that appear in the movie. We thought it would add to the Kung Fu-film feel, but mostly it just confuses people. I was refused entry into a film festival because they told me that acting only as producer wasn't enough to call the movie my own work.
The credits on the studentfilms page are the actual credits.

Actually, those credits aren't accurate either. I set up all the shots, but we took turns working the camera, and we all did our own costume work. And I don't even know what a producer does.

I read a book once called 'What a producer does.' It talked aobut the difference betweeen an executive producer, associate producer, co-producer, producer, etc. It also explained all the jobs a producer does. Quite a good read, though I can't remember who wrote it. The cover was blue if that helps.

Now here we are talking about film in the nook again, but... do you have to know someone like the protagonists in a movie to identify with them? That would really limit the number of films one could enjoy.

Of course not, but you need to have the feeling that such a person could exist, otherwise every movie should be like Star Wars just because there's alot of happy pretty pictures and symbolism but nothing that's really real, and therefore not worth enjoying and learning from. Pulp Fiction fits in that same category.

during my nights festivities I decided to see a movie with some people, first day friends, the movie was Serenity, to be a science fiction, I mentioned some better movies, no one knew. We left, away 9.50 $! Movie was horrible as whole. One or two good scenes (scenes equal cuts, not the whole location scene...to me cause I dont know what else to call it.so really all I'm saying here is that there was like...a total of five seconds in the whole film I enjoyed. It was horrible, but I found it interesting how they made it...i was tripping though it did look like the character's bodies at times and total location was total CGI, leaving the character's and camera moviement not real, like a video game...thats how I felt watching this, it was incredibly ****ing boring I can't believe how many people actually enjoyed it. PLus there was emotion music playign real loud trying to trick me into the film's lies. I wonder now if I was tricked into liking those two last scenes by these strange methods....speaking of mind control, what the hell is with the THX sound at the begining of movies? My God I was the only one covering my ears? As all's brains were numbed away. These methods are interesting but I can't imagine ever doing such tricks myself unless I made the film a circus of amusement
I cannot recommend this movie at all, the character's have been seen, the dialogue is old and makes Looney Toons seem more intelligent. You can see through the filmmaker's souls watching this, you know no one gave a **** and was unsure of what the hell was going on.
but it did make me wanna make a movie
