Random Thought on the Tupac Hologram

Random thought while listening to 2Pac on Pandora and thinking about the 2Pac hologram

I was reminded of this quote from the 1993 film Jurassic Park

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

HBO—Whether By Intent or Design

The level of set design, costume design & cinematography on Boardwalk Empire & Game of Thrones is SO OUTSTANDING I can see why HBO passed on Da Brick.

In March 2012 "HBO has passed on its Spike Lee/Ellin-produced boxing drama Da Brick, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The premium cable network has opted to pass on the boxing drama, which was described as a contemporary exploration of what it means to be a young, black man in a supposedly post-racial America." The Hollywood Reporter

A show like The Wire looks so passé, in production quality, compared to shows like Boardwalk Empire & Game of Thrones.

I recently came across this quote that seems to back up my argument.
In a January 2010 Entertainment Weekly interview HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo said about Game of Thrones that ''We are taking shots on shows that we wouldn't have taken a shot at five years ago,''.

The Disc Factor

I keep Netflix discs way longer than I have to because if I like the film or show, I watch all the Extras & listen to all the Commentaries.

The "commentary factor" is another reason I prefer discs over streaming. As a filmmaker, Film/TV is much more than entertainment to me, it's an education!
