Huh, really didn't see this forum when I first joined this place. Well, it's never too late to introduce one's self, is it? Well, one's self is named Conor, Conor Stratton, pleased to meet'cha. I make films, do pretty much everything on set in addition to acting, but I like summing it all up with this one term: filmmaker. Film isn't just a medium, in fact I shoot on MiniDV, but film just has a lot more quality in the word then "movie", don'tcha think? I mean, even though Batman & Robin was shot on film, you'd never call it a Film, you'd call it a movie, because it sucks. The word Film encompasses all good feature presentations. As for my interests and inspirations, let's just say that Film Noir is comin' back in a big way, and I plan to lead the charge. The grittier, the better. I'm from Tribeca, the one place in New York City that can double for anywhere. Look for my stuff soon, as of the moment I'm working on a 45-minute film that may or may not make it's way to this site, depending on the final length. Maybe I'll put together a nice little piece that'll demonstrate exactly what I'm into. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the site.

we actually just added this forum not too long ago, so that's why you didn't notice!

whew, I was beginning to doubt my mind again. So, should everyone introduce themselves now, or just the ones unlucky enough to be new?

greetings Conor!

i agree about film soudding better than movie.... but you said movie in your subject title

I love how this whole thread feels liek asupport group, like alcoholics anonymous, but for filmmakers, "i started having these ideas for films, then i wrote screenplays, after that i progressed to filming these screenplays, after that i ahs out of control, i lost my job, my wife, my life was stole *insert group hug here*

"I mean, even though Batman & Robin was shot on film, you'd never call it a Film, you'd call it a movie, because it sucks. " -Conor said this

Thats hillarious, and you can remove the "Batman and robin" part and replace it with just about ANY recent movie!

I, for one, love the movie Batman. It's probably the best superhero movie known to date. And CERTAINLY the best directed. Tim Burton is awesome. He put a certain film noir feel to it that I love.

And how can you forget classic lines, like "YOU WANNA GET NUTS! LET'S GET NUTS!" (Which was also HILARIOUSLY used in a Seinfeld episode)

"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

It's in the episode where George tells Susan's parents that he has a house in the Hamptons. So they ask him to take them there. He agrees, for some reason, but he doesn't even have a house in the hamptons. So, they're in the car, and he's like, "Are you sure you want to go?" they say yes, and begin driving. On the way there they see a antique stand and they say "Hey, stop here we can get a house-warming gift for you" so he says "You wanna get nuts? LET'S GET NUTS!"

It's hilarious, as all Seinfeld episodes are. By the way, Seinfeld on DVD in NOVEMBER!!!!

For some reason I've never been a big SEINFELD fan (and feel like the only one that isn't). But I agree that Kramer is very funny.

I first saw him on an old show called FRIDAYS - which was ABCs answer to SAT NIGHT LIVE a long time ago. He was great in that show! Anyone else remember FRIDAYS?

i remember seeing a few episodes, but I can't remember them. I just remember Larry DAvid and michael richards on the show.

Biggest ditto ever. Batman, according to legend, was the first film I ever saw. I was only two years old, a wee sprite, and my dad plopped me down in front of the TV and put "Batman" in the VCR. And the rest, as they say, is history. I've seen it probably a good hundred times since then.

hey, I never said that I made films. I will, but I don't think I'm there yet. When I start to make films, you'll know. The project I'm working now, for instance, could go either way.

And since this thread has become slightly Seinfeld-oriented, I'd like to point out my small connection to the much loved program: my uncle played the big, menacing thug in the episode "The Subway". Great show, still funny.

No, he is mistaken people. SPIDERMAN 2 is the best super hero movie known to ALL living matter!!!!!

Bull****, the Incredibles pwnz j00 and j00 familia.

Spider-Man 2 was great, I loved it, as well as the Incredibles. I think I have a weakness for superhero movies, that kinda mythic quality and potential for very powerful story. For me, Batman was the film that set the standard for superhero films for me, and while better movies may come out, I will always see Batman as the classic that remains unsurpassed. I'm listening to the main title theme right now, and it just brings back so many images and memories of watching that movie that no other could take its place. What a fantastic film.

You're right, Batman was great and is a good movie to set your standards for super hero movies. But, the Incredibles kicks Spider-Man 2's *** so hard it's not funny.

-Elliott

Yeah, it's true, the Incredibles kicks all sorts of ***, even that of Spider-Man. Period.

-Elliott

Wow. Just, wow.

-Elliott

I thought the incredibles was fantastic. The story was pretty simple, it wasn't hilariously funny, and if i was a kid, i probobly would have been bored because of all the character building. But all of these elements mixed together formed a film with a lot of heart and presonality. The characters made the movie. How they managed to convey so much emotion and heart through CG models is a mystery to me.
