  • Hiccups with the Apocalypse marathon footage

    missing-camera

    I am sorry that the marathon footage didn’t make it on the site in time to be relevant for the world’s impending doom on December 21, but we’ve been having some strange camera/footage importing errors between Patrick’s camera and our editing system. The entire marathon is completely edited and ready for export. The problem is that we cannot seem to get Final Cut to export the footage – instead of copying the footage from the camera to the editing system’s hard drive, the footage seems to have remained on the camera. Final Cut doesn’t like that, and will not export the footage until we figure out how to save a copy of the footage locally to the editing computer.

    I’m putting all my effort into getting this fixed, because Pat and I had a great amount of content and discussion over the entire apocalypse movie genre, and we really want to share that discussion with all of our loyal fans and fellow movie buffs!

    And before I forget to mention – Merry Christmas from your pals at SquidFlicks! Stay tuned for some holiday themed content.

  • Is Robin in The Dark Knight Rises?

    It’s a TRILOGY, Batman!

    I stumbled across an interesting article today that provides some intriguing insight on the highly anticipated conclusion to the amazing and bleak trilogy on the Dark Knight by Christopher Nolan.

    The premise:
    While I am a little disappointed that the Riddler didn’t make an appearance in the final film (I still am holding out some semblance of hope/despair), some digging by determined fans shows some interesting clues that another character from the series could make a previously unannounced appearance: Batman’s faithful sidekick, Robin!

    If the rumors prove true, will Nolan’s interpretation of Robin become a memorable addition to the series? Early talk has it that Anne Hathaway as Catwoman is excellent, so Robin will certainly have to make an impression if he shows up. (Cat got your tongue?)

    After seeing this revelation, I am excited to potentially see Nolan’s dark twist on Robin. I think the evidence is at least a very interesting coincidence, but it sure seems like a safe bet to me. Read the article and form your own opinion, but I am not embarrassed to make the claim here: Robin will appear in the Dark Knight Rises.

    If I am lucky, The Riddler will get a mention (doubtful, but hey, a man can dream…)

  • An Apology

    Hey guys! I’m not real sure if anyone is visiting SquidFlicks anymore since output has gone to squat. I want to change that here and now. SquidFlicks was founded because I loved watching movies and sharing them with others. I went to college last fall and pretty much forgot about the site. Now, its summer again and I want to make up for lost time.

    Now you may wonder what prompted me to log in and write this post today, and I will tell you why – Waylon Bacon, a short film director who we have featured before – submitted a new film for review via our film submission form. I got to thinking, and realized that SquidFlicks was made by independent film artists for independent film artists, and if I give up on them then it would be a shame.

    SquidFlicks wants to review Independent Films. We want to help your project make it to the next level. What’s more, The IndepenDEX, another web project of mine, was made specifically for short film directors to list their projects.

    Come on back, and gather around the old TV guys – It’s movie time!

  • SquidFlicks Resolution Check (Jan-Feb ’10)

    As you all know, last year’s resolutions for SquidFlicks didn’t exactly live up to expectations, but a new year means new progress! I have taken a step towards completing this year’s resolutions by doing a Resolution Check every two months. Here’s the one for January through February!
