In his memo to the film crew, Kinkade twice cites Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon as a working template and volunteers an idea for keeping spirits high during the shoot: “Perhaps we could make large posters that simply say ‘Love this movie’ and post them about.”To get an expert opinion on Kinkade’s manifesto, I showed it to cinematographer Ellen Kuras, best known for her work with director Spike Lee. She points out that he confuses focal length and depth of field, and questions his overall approach. “I’ve never seen any of his paintings, but I have to say, he’s very cheesy in his descriptions,” Kuras says. “The whole gauzy, cozy feeling, darkening the edges to make your vision more myopic, I think is about trying to draw the larger metaphor for the way to heaven. But reading all of this, it’s a prescription for a bad ’60s porn movie.”

6) Hidden details whenever possible, References to my children (from youngest to oldest as follows): Evie, Winsor, Chandler and Merritt. References to my anniversary date, the number 52, the number 82, and the number 5282 (for fun, notice how many times this appears in my major published works). Hidden N's throughout -- preferably thirty N's, commemorating one N for each year since the events happened.
Weird. Maybe he's a numerologist? That's disturbing that he has a movie..

This thread is supposed to be "defend the indefensible" so let me just say that as terrible as Kinkade's 16 directions sound in general, they seem perfectly appropriate for the kind of movie this obviously is. They're selling the movie with Kinkade's name on the front -- what, you thought he was going to reboot the franchise and make it look like Eraserhead?

the most air pollution comes from the fans getting to and from, as is true of a lot of exurban concerts and festivals. i'm planning to take public transportation to my first race.
