The Longest Fight in Film History

I remember some top movie fights from a copy of Maxim several years ago, which named They Live as having the longest film fight ever. I remember this gem from the 80's, and TOTALLY dug this fight, which is hilarious as much as it is brutal as much as it is completely implausible that anyone executing so many bone-crushing moves in a fight could have walked away without serious internal injuries...or walked away at all.



I'm glad to see this film still taking the number one spot in a recent top ten fights in movie history list I came across. Rowdy Roddy Piper even did wrestling moves in it! And They Live was like The Matrix of the 80's, except it was better because it had aliens. Unfortunately, you can't get it on DVD in Korea -- so no showing it to kiddies in class. Not that you need subtitles for the fight, anyway...

"Why Be Critical?"

  • Before you say this site is "anti-Korean" or bashing Korea – read this: "Why Be Critical?" Chances are, if you're simply angry because I am a social critic in Korea but not actually Korean, see if your argument isn't just a kneejerk response that follows these patterns.

Photo Classes!

  • Session 1: Just the Basics Dealing with the basic operations and functions of your DSLR, explaining each function, button, and doo-hickey. The bulk of the session is likely going to stick around the relationship between aperture and shutter, as well as depth-of-field. Basically everything on your camera has something to do with this relationship.

    Session 2: Composition and Shooting (Shooting Session 1) We'll take those examples and look at them on the big screen, while also answering the concrete questions that will pop up about the stuff we learned before. Then we'll talk about composition and other framing issues, including lens lengths and why some lenses are worth $100 bucks and some are worth $10,000.

    Session 3: Flashes and Advanced Exposure (Shooting Session 2) Dealing with flash, in terms of compensating above and below exposure levels (bracketing), as well as other bracketing techniques in general.

    Session 4: Final Session/Critiques Keeping it open, determined by the class.

    Four 3-hour sessions, as well as shooting sessions, photo discussions, and critiques. An individual photo essay will also be done as part of the ongoing class assignments. Inquire at the email address at the top right of this page.
