it used to be that a TV series would leave you begging for more. Now, more than ever, they leave you begging for them to stop.
strange how all this crap co-incides nicely with the start of globalisation in the 1980s, when government essentially handed over the reigns to multinational corporations.
apathy rules. if i can be bothered.

Wow! Lots of MTV-bashing in this thread. I'll blame PS2 & Gameboy & all those 1st-person-shooter games with more resposibility for ADD & ADHD than I would a badly cut music video.

I'm not generally against "fake" cameras and "fake" actors, but it's hardly ever motivated or even good-looking. Fast cuts in action sequences is often just a cheap way to get away with your poor film-making skills. But what really makes me sigh is these fast cuts combined with extreme close-ups (pretty much every B-action movie since 1980) so that you have no idea what's going on.
I find it interesting though, that people who are NOT film-makers and never care to think about how a certain scene was made, mostly DO have an idea what's going on when Steven Seagal is shooting and kicking at 50 people while there's at least 3 cuts/second and close-ups are used like the camera was a microscope. I don't know about you guys but when I watch a scene like that, I might as well not look at all cause it feels like watching MTV.

Nope- you not the only sane one!
I totally agree with you- What happen to the days
of the DUKE- a fist full of dollar's- and Fist's of FURY- I'm not saying much for the dialogue of these films- but by God they knew what good action was and the elements to making it work.

As an action movie fan , i find the rapid over editing of action sequences puzzling and stupid.
I used to think that it was a way to disguise poor fight coreography but all of jet lees american made action films (which were coreographed by the great corey yune ) suffer the same problem of needless rapid editing meaning that i was wrong .
So why do editors insist on depriving us of action we pay to see then ? Who knows.
All i know is that when i shoot an action sequence , you will actually see it and not have guess whats going on .
