• I just finished a movie ("The Vanguard") that was—apparently—shot on hand-held digital cameras. I guess they probably used some other form of audio recording, but the visual portions had the automatic color correction, the loss of detail, the jerkiness, and the grittiness of a camera not much different than the $100 digital cameras that you can get at Wal-Mart.

  It is giving me big ideas of being Oscar's next big thing.

  I also found a certain pleasant-ness in the fact that the movie's protagonist (throughout much of the movie) a bearded deaf guy with severe introvert tendencies. Which pretty well describes my Dad. It's as if it were a documentary of my Dad in a world full of men who became animals... H'm.

  Or Jesse. It might be Jesse with a beard.
