Nightcrawler thoughts

Just saw it and I'm waiting to see the hobbit. On my phone so forgive errors and there hasn't been a discussion going back 4 pages.

I thought it was great. One of my top 3 movies this year. A couple of thoughts;
I saw the discussion somewhere about how the police and news director behaved. The simple fact is they wouldn't in real life. The police wouldnt put up with the shite about him being invading an active crime scene, destroying evidence, on a flimsy claim to help people. If he was trying to help people, he wouldn't be filming. Also, one of my majors was in jschool and you can't enter a property without permission from owners or police. You can do whatever you want from the street though. There was a famous law suit of a naked woman running away from a hostage situation and she was photographed and she sued for indecency and the suit failed because it was shot from the street.

As far as creepy journalists go, I thought jake nailed it. I had a professor who he reminded me a lot of. He talked about betting with the police who would be the first to puke from a grisly crime scene, breaking into people's houses to phone a story in, and watching autopsy videos of murder victims and shite of fricked up stuff with no real emoticon.

Jake at was great. The news director was acted fine but I found the character to be lacking. I thought his car being race car red was idiotic. The whole blackmailing for sex subplot was idiotic. I loved the cinematography. Will have more later.
