Yeah.. you dribble and you shoot. Some days you are kobe. Others Darko.
But in all honesty I love everything about Southland tales. (Not a joke) . Wallace Shawn has never been in a bad movie.

I read the comics. You were apparently expected to so the movie would make more sense. It didn't help much but they weren't bad. I think.

And know the entirety of donnie darko in and out and track down the fake physics book. All to get through a movie where cgi cars fuck.

I have touted this app a few times over the years, but I use one called RunPee that I checked out solely because the name sounded hilarious. It's on android for sure, no idea about iPhone. It essentially breaks down the best times for you to take a piss during a movie, but the part I use it for (I promise I'm not that old where I can't make it through a movie yet, but maybe someday soon!) is it also tells you how long the credits are and if there is anything during/after them. If you see the world premiere of a movie of course you are going to beshitpiss out of luck, but they typically see the movies at the first possible normal showing and post the info soon after.

OPs post reminded me of the latest Tony Zhou video where he discusses the differences between Jackie Chan's Hong Kong films and his US films. Though not technically about shaky-cam per se, it deals with the cinematography of action and fighting scenes, which is where shaky-cam is usually used.
Tony's videos are fantastic to watch for those who like the art of cinematography:https://vimeo.com/tonyzhou/videos

This just sucked a tiny bit of the enjoyment out of the new Mad Max trailer. Just a tiny bit.

That must be why I like Netflix Daredevil. They have some very clean and inspired fight scenes that you don't even see in action movies anymore.
The ep 2 hallway fight scene is something straight out of a Korean action movie.

When the hallways scene in Daredevil started I saw they moved the camera where normally you'd see a cut and said to my wife, "They've been light on the fighting scenes this episode, I wonder if they have the balls to do a long-cut fighting scene?". Even knowing what they were doing, what they attempted blew me away and made me an instant fan of Daredevil.
