Dear J.J. Abrams,

I get it. You don't want to break it off with your long-time cinematographer, after all you've been through and all the history you share. Let me help you. Change is good.

( Here are some talented individuals I think you may be interested in knowing are available to be with you. (I'm angry, and thus working blue tonight, so easily offended need not look) )

wow, you would really hate battlestar galactica then...maybe some Dramamine would help...

Not necessarily. That kind of movement is *A LOT* easier to follow on a small screen.

LOL!!! Seriously! I *HATE* that style, especially when it's over done. Juggling the camera while a couple of guys dance around you is NOT an effective means of conveying the excitement and intensity of hand-to-hand combat!

That was my main beef with Cloverfield too, but at least in that one the whole point was that someone amateur was running for his life with his video camera on.

Fortunately, I found enough in Star Trek that I could watch that the unwatchable scenes weren't too distracting.
