I shouted "Oh...my...GOD!" in the theatre. Vanessa had to pat my arm to calm me down. Did you notice that everything else was perfect? His tripod was even weighted with sandbags. Seriously, though, did Kodak think that the average moviegoer would not get the Kodak-is-good-film connection if O'Donnell were shooting E200 or Supra or any one of their actual pro films? Instead, they just provide an (additional) unintentional guffaw for those knowledgeable about that kind of thing. I think it was Ebert who said "This is the kind of film where the protagonists have to climb up a mountain with nitroglycerine strapped to their backs because it is more dangerous than simply climbing up a mountain". -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
