What's so bad about Transformers' editing?

And I have to admit that Transformers deserves an Oscar for Visual Effects. How Golden Compass won it, I'll never know.

You have to be a big fan of the Oscar to remember these stuffs

I believe Transformers should have taken the Sound awards and the Visual Effects one, although I'm not the biggest fan of the movie. ILM really outdid themselves with this one, although their work on POTC: AWE was probably equally impressive.


I'm merely a fan of certain personalities in the business.

Btw Kobe can u get on MSN? I wanna ask u some stuff about college

It was just ok, nothing to shout about.

Thought you were set on Purdue? Anyway, send me an e-mail. I seem to disconnect every time someone sends me a message these few days. Or tomorrow? I'll log on my laptop then

It wasn't that bad to be laughed at though.

Most probably, but its just a few curious questions about number of hours of classes, studies, tutorials etc...

Anyone knows where to get a Juno hamburger phone?

A noob question, was it the editing means putting all the film footages together in a movie?
If it is what I understand then their works are dependent on what the director gave them sometimes. Imagine they were given pieces that not continues then how the hell they gonna do their job well. Or a conversation of someone speaking happily then the next continue film becomes talking sadly. If so, then why not the director make the editing to be more efficient?

Does editor pick which part to be use and which part should be omitted or they must put in whatever craps director gives them and do their best? Do they pick which camera angle to be use because I think there must be at least 2 or more camera are running whenever a scene is shoot, thus, 2 or more angle of the same thing but only 1 will be shown. Or the director pick for them too? My question is basically how much they have a said in a movie making compare to the director?

Also I was wondering who deal with those fancy changes of scene like said zooming into somebody's eye then voila we see the next scene in the eye.?


My favorite is The Aviaor for that year too but that's a very good year.
I like them Aviator, Finding Neverlang, Million Dollar baby and Ray are great in their own way.

And he sure missed out 2 mores for Goodfellas and Raging Bull.
To rub it in, he has to win it by the weaker one The Departed. wtf

oscar is a serious overrated business lulz

why is it? It's probably the only award show that maintains its credibility after over 80 years of operation. It still honors the greatest works in the film industry year after year and yes, there were some years where undeserving films ended up with big awards but generally and most of the time, they are right. The Oscars is way better, by a million miles than some award shows called Grammy/mtv movie awards, etc...

As for this year, No Country deserves the Oscar so don't come to this thread and claim the Oscar is serious overrated business just because you never heard of the film before.

They almost never give the Best Score award to the deserving winner though.

sad lar, no country is not comming down! msia screwed it again

No Country For Old Men will show in March, but i think Msia will censor the violent part of the movie

I hope they rate it as 18SG, anyway the violence is not too excessive so i think it should be alrite.

I for one think the Oscars are overrated. How the snubbed certain actors/directors is just disgusting. Chaplin, Brando and even Spielberg to an extent until recent time. And no, I don't believe I am talking out of my arse this time around. I really do think the Oscars are overrated. My favorite award shows is the SAGs

Do u really expect spielberg/brando/pacino/deniro/scorsese to win everytime they get nominated? At least the oscar got it right with brando winning in godfather, on the waterfront and spielberg in schindler's list and saving private ryan.

Scorsese with Departed was kinda like "Sooner or later, I'll give you one so I'll give you this." And as for Spielberg, well if he deserved MORE, he should get more. You don't just say "You have had enough. Take a back seat."

I agree about the Scorsese one, no doubt about that. that's probably the biggest gripe in Oscar history - the Scorsese snubs.

as for Spielberg, many of his films were revolutionary but he was nominated with some pretty tough contenders at some years and like i said - saving private ryan and schindler's list were well deserving and he got it.

Atonement is a fine score, though I personally think Giacchino's Ratatouille is more accomplished (also my favorite of the year). At least its not a howler like the past two years with Memoirs losing out to Brokeback Moutain or Pan's Labyrinth to Babel.

not on imdb. no records of any release date.
