Digit

Terminator 3 was filmed with Panavision Panaflex Platinum cameras and Panavision Primo Primes spherical lenses on 35mm film. Was unable to discover what type of film, exactly.

Genisys was filmed largely on ARRI Alexa cameras, which are digital, and a wide variety of other digital cameras of varying quality (with some film cameras used when the digital couldn’t handle the shooting environment).

This is why Terminator 3 looks better than Genisys. Those Panavision Panaflex and Pana lenses are amazing. The ARRI Alexa and various other cameras are ok to bad, and digital in general is much flatter.

The Clowns

And people say neoliberalism isn’t real, but it’s managed to insert itself into our very psyches at a deep, perhaps ineradicable, level. There is no greater evidence than this absolutely sterile, Taylorist clincal interaction with a friend.

Anyone who speaks with you or about you this way is not your friend. Perhaps you are one another’s co-widgets, but definitely not friends. It sounds more transactional than most office conversations I’ve had.

Perhaps the hell world we’ve created deserves to be cleansed.

Ration

The destruction and diminution is imperative for the neoliberal project to succeed. If there is no non-corporate media, there is no critique. No critique, and it’s harder for society to reject the neoliberal order. Partially this is desperation. Partially it is as near as conspiracy as one can get without actual meetings of cabals and the like — just the rich and the powerful looking out for themselves.
