Too long.

Here’s the latest in a series of films that makes me wonder if some law has been passed that requires movies to be at least two hours long, or if directors get paid more for longer films. 

Now, Becoming Traviata is not a bad film, mind you. Not at all. It captures the tremendous amount of work and passion that went into the 2011 production of “La Traviata” in Aix-en-Provence, and it’s great to see with how much nuance the director analyses the story — line by line, note by note — and tirelessly works with the singers to get the performances just right. 

Unfortunately, after an hour or so, the film begins to lose steam. This didn’t have to be so — it would have been fairly easy to lose 20 or even 30 minutes along the way, in relatively small cuts here and there, and keep the pace. I can understand if film makers fall in love with their subject and lose their distance, but that’s what you have editors and producers for, right?

What is Facebook to most people over the age of 25? It’s a never-ending class reunion mixed with an eternal late-night dorm room gossip session mixed with a nightly check-in on what coworkers are doing after leaving the office. In other words, it’s a place where you go to keep tabs on your friends and acquaintances. You know what kids call that? School. Teens aren’t abandoning “social.” They’re just using the word correctly.

I mean, have you seen a 2G, 3G or 3GS screen recently? You’d think you have some kind of eye disease. That screens sits at the bottom of a well with water covering it. No wonder a design made under those conditions is starting too look a little heavy handed. — Max Rudberg, iOS subdued (via 9-bits)

The Soviet Shuttle, the Buran (snowstorm) was an aerodynamic clone of the American orbiter, but incorporated many original features that had been considered and rejected for the American program, such as all-liquid rocket boosters, jet engines, ejection seats and an unmanned flight capability. You know you’re in trouble when the Russians are adding safety features to your design. A Rocket To Nowhere
