Well, my GUI editing tool is having trouble rendering a JTree which uses a nonstandard cell renderer, so while I wait for tech support to get back to me, I'll blog.
Uhm.
OK, things I learned from "
Cellular".
1)If you only have one explosion in your movie, and it's not really an important explosion, put it on the cover of the DVD so people think the whole film is filled with things blowing up real good.
2)If someone's a jerk, it's OK to steal a car from them. I think this was decided by the Supreme Court in The People Vs. Some Rich Asshole, cert 1967.
3)For that matter, if you steal cars, rob stores, place life and limb in peril, snarl traffic across a city, and accidentally blow up a truck, no one will care or file charges or otherwise harass you if you did all this to maybe save someone's life. On the other hand, if you complain that your car has been stolen, you're a jerk and deserve to be harassed.
4)No one gives a damn about the housekeeper.
5)A randomly found cell phone and a randomly found video recorder can share data trivially, despite the lack of any connecting cables or incompatible file formats.
6)If I ever accidentally film corrupt LA cops robbing and killing a drug dealer, I will post the film all over the Internet. I will not leave it in the camera and then leave the camera in a safety deposit box.
7)Nearly every cop in LA is a corrupt, violent, sociopath. Oh wait...I didn't learn that from Cellular. I learned it from the news. My bad.
8)You can survive a 20-story drop by sliding down a plastic tube.
9)In LA, High School science class teaches you how to kill a man. This is less surprising than it might seem.
10)When torturing someone to find out the location of an object, it is not necessary to tell them precisely what object you are looking for.
