Silvestri's style is already watered down. Once The Dark Knight Rises breaks some midnight records they'll be asking for Hans again.

Any lower and there will be no water to sink down to.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Probably deleted because it made no sense.
I've seen another deleted scene with the guy that finds Banner after he lands, which was weird, as in "random mentor figure pops up from nowhere for a scene", so the deletion of that was also a good idea.

there is an alternate ending too that continues where the opening left out.
Its as if the movie was maria hill remembering the facts, and then changes her mind.

Everyone else at SHIELD uses bluetooth headsets though, so why wouldn't they just get the implants themselves?

I loved the cinematography of The Dark Knight Rises, but it's highly ironic that the cinematographer of The Dark Knight Rises accuses The Avengers of illogical storytelling.

Can't say I'm especially struck by the photography of either, especially the hoity toityness of Inception. To be perfectly honest I prefer the broader aesthetic of The Avengers, with it's broader, lighter colour palette.

I just really liked all the different tricks in TDKR to give it a "white" colour palette, in contrast with the blue of TDK and the orange of BB.

Pfister is a superb cinematographer. Probably my favorite after Deakins.
He is very good. He is also about to direct his first movie, so those comments were likely nothing more as an attempt to spread awareness of his name and considering how much I've seen them the past couple days I'd say it did the job.

Ooo, get you! http://uk.ign.com/ar...ngers-appalling
Pfister's comments are just tactless and rude. He's a cinematographer and he has every right to criticize another one's work, but I mean come on. The Avengers wasn't a very showy film, cinematography-wise, but it looked great in places and did the job just fine.

I think his comments are fine. There's already too much professionalism in the film industry when filmmakers discuss other filmmakers.

Exactly.
Every one kisses everyone's asses and at least he's got the balls to admit he didn't like what he saw in the Avengers.

There's a difference between saying you didn't like something and openly provoking conflict. The way he said it, it's almost like he's taunting McGarvey into firing back.
At least Whedon went the classy response route.

I agree with saying it was appalling was uncalled for. But he clarified his statements in the exact same interview saying that he saw them simply using shots to show off sets and effects which isn't necessarily wrong. Wrong word choice: probably, but not necessarily incorrect sentiments.

I haven't seen any films McGarvey shot before The Avengers, but Anna Karenina looks absolutely stunning--I was kind of surprised to find it was shot by the same DP. I guess it's just the aesthetic Whedon and McGarvey agreed on. I do appreciate the color palette, but I feel like it does suffer some from a certain bareness to its tone.
