I counted the cuts in 8,770 films from the last century to find out how many shots a movie has now, and how fast we are cutting.

    I didn’t see a mention of Speed Racer (2008), which frequently edits from shot to shot with layered pans and crash zooms. I really wonder how he counted that movie.

      That’s a great little movie, fun for the whole family without being cloying or silly.

      No, I retract that, because it’s silly in the best way.

      Magical cars, super intelligent monkeys, anti-gravity race tracks, and a 16 year old girl with a helicopter parked in the garage.

        My dad took us to that movie when I was 12 and I got so motion sick I threw up in the popcorn bucket. He was already angry because he thought it would be a car movie, didn’t expect an acid trip. Was not a good day for a 12 year old with an abusive father. Never watched it again lmao
