I agree. “Taping” brings to mind voice-overs by Tom Bosley, et al, assuring us that “Happy Days was taped before a live audience” and the requisite quality of fare that followed. I don’t know why the medium looks so… tape-y… but I can’t even watch those Twilight Zone episodes that are on tape, as they don’t seem to come from another dimension at all, but rather a soundstage.

Also, why do people say “filming” when they aren’t using film stock???Also, why do people say “filming” when they aren’t using film stock???

Ok you guy have talked this old horse to a lonely boring death..

BreBro!! Where’s my girl friend? Tease..

Ken Tetro was over rated..I talked to the chick that sells popcorn at the ARTS downtown and she agreed with me ...so there it’s settled..

Also went to see In the Loop..was kinda fun..my wife couldn’t understand what they we talking about cause of the fast pasted english lingo..was too hip for her room..tried a little too hard..the pretentious nature of this film was very high..there was a new word in the film that was very inspiring #######   now that’s a word…half way through In the LOOPwent to see Adam..more my wifes speed.. Ya need to lower your standards for the new crop of Asheville misfits..

No, the new crop needs to raise their standards. If you did that, you’d realize that Tetro wasn’t overrated. And who exactly was it overrated by? I mean apart from me.

And what does any of this have to do with the topic of this thread?

Welcome to the Bizarro world of Richey.

May I suggest your ‘ignore’ button, sir?

whatevs. he’s the best Boarder here.

Has anyone here, besides Mr. Hanke, actually seen Moon Europa?

yep

Was it as good as Inbred Rednecks?

People say “filming” when they aren’t using film stock because “taping” conveys such a very different—and immediately inferior—idea. The term is incorrect, yes, but it’s still accepted and is likely to stay that way. (You’ll notice that for copyright purposes movies are still referred to as “motion picture photoplays.”) Technology has blurred the line so much that more and more of what you see—whether you see it on film or on digital projection—isn’t originating on film.
