Does this mean a film director could be prosecuted for homicide..? :shock:Turns of Phrase: Neurocinematics
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In essence, this is the study of the way watching films affects the
human mind. The term was invented in a paper by Uri Hasson in 2008,
which showed that some films exert considerable control over brain
activity and eye movements but that this depended - as one would
expect - on their content, editing, and directing style. The paper
suggested that this work, using magnetic resonance imaging, could
lead to a fusion between film studies and cognitive neuroscience
and suggested "neurocinematics" as the name for it.
In February 2010, research by Professor James Cutting and his team
at Cornell University was widely reported. They measured the length
of every shot in 150 high-grossing Hollywood films released between
1935 and 2005. The more recent the film, the more likely it is that
the pattern of duration of shots matches the attention span of its
audience. This pattern, known as the 1/f rule or "pink noise" rule,
had been deduced in earlier studies of volunteers working on tasks.
It seems that, through experience, film editors have intuited the
formula.
The term has appeared a number of times online but only rarely in
print. As yet, it's a niche formation and may not survive.
http://variety.com/2016/film/news/james-cameron-avatar-1201753774/James Cameron will make four “Avatar” sequels, promising that the films will start hitting theaters in 2018.
The creator of the original “Avatar,” the 2009 fantasy epic that remains the all-time worldwide box office champion, said that his vision for a followup has expanded over time.
He first envisioned two sequels. But after meeting with a team of four screenwriters and a group of “some of the top artists and designers in the world,” he realized that he had way too much material for just two films. He initially decided on three sequels, then jumped to four.
Hmmmm...

Lubricant helps.I hope not, being remunerated sounds unpleasant.
I know people who do this LARPing thing. It's taken over their lives... well they're not harming anybody I suppose ..
I suppose there's worse things they could be doing .. they look happy to me, I wouldn't LARP though ..I know people who do this LARPing thing. It's taken over their lives.

Well, if you're feeling a little blue...It's no larping matter you know..
There is so much better science fiction that would still require CGI, that could be made (Niven's Known Space: Saberhagen's Berserkers: Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic league, Gregory Benford's Galactic Centre, etc. etc.) but we're going to get endless remakes of what was essentially a story about European exploitation of North Western Native American society.
