Mood: guilty

GUYS, BRING ON THE TORCHES - THIS SCENE NEEDS MOAR LENS FLARE!

HAI GUISE.
Okay, here's the deal: I love J.J. Abrams to bits! I already had big love for him because of Lost, Fringe and Cloverfield... But a now he's gone and topped it all by making one of the most goddamn GQ movies in existence, thereby adding a new level of awesome to one of my favourite fandoms. So he's technically a genius and a GQMF in every way. HOWEVER, it's his addiction to lens flares that has messed with my head. Since watching Star Trek XI, whenever I see a picture of him on set, I can't shake the feeling that he's contemplating the addition of extra lens flares. Especially since reading an interview where he said he put them all in manually by shining powerful torches at the cameras :D
...BB just loves his lens flares! Hell, I love the lens flares too. But it does make me feel guilty that I see a picture of the master weaving his magic on set and all I can think is... "GUYS, BRING ON THE TORCHES - THIS SCENE NEEDS MOAR LENS FLARE!"

Anyone got any more J.J. or lens-flare-related macros? Post them in the comments!

Well, apparently I'm weird, because I LIKE the lens flares. They don't bother me a bit. In fact, I agree with J.J. - they make me feel more like I'm really there. (If I'm bothered by anything - and it's not that much - it's the actual brightness of the bridge set. Not the flaring, but the lights themselves seem a bit overkill. I don't know if I could work in a space that bright.)

But the flares - they're cool.

Oh no, I agree! I actually love the lens flares. Especially in the IMAX. It makes the whole experience shinier. All the macros are totally tongue-in-cheek. It's just, when you stop and think about it when you're watching the film... There are a LOT of them. And it just amuses me to think of JJ wandering about set thinking of new lens flare opportunities :P

But you're not alone with your lens flare love... I think we all feel it!
