Re: Feedback Request: Starting a Movie Blog

Much easier to read! and I love the logo.

The typeface terrifies me. The kerning is strange, and the numbers sometimes seem as though they're wobbling on a different line.
Maybe unify the design of the graphicy bits. Have a theme of shapes/colours.

The 'have they worked together' section basically boils down to Rush (2013). So maybe just have a title like 'Previous connections', and then show Rush, with its vitals. That way ppl might see the poster and think, hey I liked that, maybe i'll like this.
(but you have a red line from the editor to the DP.just to fyi - both worked on Rush)
(you also have red line from the designer to the DP when they both worked on 28 Days Later!) -- I feel like computers should be doing all this stuff for you.


Couple of extra thoughts

The composer for this film has done some interesting work. Creepy little horrors/thrillers. I'm sort of curious why Howard would choose him when he's used fuck-off hero composers like H.Zimmer in the past.

I didn't give a shit about the film until I saw Ben Wishaw and Cillian Murphy were in it (also CM was in 28 Days Later -- ppl be talking). These two are probably the UKs most talented young male actors.

The DP has done some interesting stuff. You mention Slumdog, but it would have been cool to know he'd been a D.Boyle regular, as well as some legends of Dogme 95. Just giving me an imdb average doesn't give me a sense of the visual potential of this film as compared to my recollections of Slumdog, Festen. Maybe a picture of the talent, and then a row of movie posters, perhaps with a mouse-over or somesuch for the data analysis. Click-on to imdb page.

Have you modelled the genre bit yet (modelled-? whatever the word is)? The data table scares me. Is there a way to present it visually?

I don't understand the value of the predictions, but maybe i'm stupid.
Why won't the film take any risks? I think this sort of value judgement thing should be self-evident. Maybe personalise/brand it more simply: 'numberz thumbz up!' or give it so many hashes: (lolmstlyjkingdntdothis) (butalsomaybedothis)

(but, you know, in a way that doesn't look like the decaying remnants of leper dick)


^this is all brain-farting, immediate thoughts. I wouldn't spend this much time on it if I wasn't excited that you're doing things. I could be reading john donne, or masturbating, or hitting my children.
