I’m thinking:
CLAP RUT NO FIX

[Richard Herd] “Read this twice as “postmortem.””
LOL

[Aindreas Gallagher] “ha!
I’m a Flann O’Brien man myself. no better novel than swimtwobirds.”
From what I just read about it, that may well be the case. I’ll have to give it a try. That and The 3rd Policeman.

Now that is poetry! But I think you cribbed it. I think its the famous lost “Portrait of an Editor as a Young Man.” Pretty soon you’ll be all “riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to FCP X.”

[Lemur Hayop] “Anyway, Reason 6.5’s time-stretch algorithm is killer for video,”
I will have to try that! Thanks.

[Walter Soyka] “In my effects-drive corner of the world, decimate means remove extraneous (usually duplicate) frames from a sequence at a regular interval — far closer to the Roman meaning than the modern one. People look at you funny when you suggest decimating footage. Maybe that’s because no one shoots on anything measured in feet anymore…”
I had no idea! That’s so cool.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “In the meantime, it’s viewer beware. To celebrate Cinerama’s 60th anniversary, earlier this fall Arclight Cinemas showed 12 Cinerama productions, some in the original three-strip process, at its Cinerama Dome theater in Los Angeles. How The West Was Won was screened in authentic Cinerama. 2001: A Space Odyssey, on the other hand, was a DCP presentation of the 2K scan: not exactly a Blu-ray, but the master used to make the Blu-ray. As author Mike Gebert put it to me, “Is that all there is to project 2001 with these days? That’s sad.””
“How sad. I went to a LACMA (our art museum) screening of Spartacus a couple of weeks ago. They showed the Academy’s 70mm Restoration print (I think Spartacus was originally 65mm) which was glorious, but 3/4s of the way through something went wrong, maybe with the film gate, the lights came up, and we all sat there wondering how much of the reel had spooled off into the booth. Five minutes later we were watching again, right where we left off, so no damage. The few minutes we were all holding our collective breath makes me appreciate the need for good 4k (dare I ask for 6k?) projection all the more.

Its just funny to me, and probably no one else. I’ve had a long-time fascination with Roman history, so the current agreed usage of “decimate” as “utterly destroy” instead of “reduce by a tenth” always sticks out. And, rather boorishly, I always seem to want to remark about it.

[Walter Soyka] “the team has been ‘decimated’.”
Do I understand this correctly? The Logic team was getting a little mutinous, so a tenth of them were drawn from the ranks and executed in front of the others as an example. I’m pretty sure that’s what they do at propellerhead.

[Steve Connor] “Sounds like the future!”
Even more shocking, the still images seem to be “printed” on something that sounded like cellulite, which sounds quite gross, but I’ve been promised that there is no liposuction tie-in.
