I blame Paul Greengrass. Someone needs to buy that man a tripod. And the more shaky he makes his big budget productions the more the critics enthuse about his work.

"Battlestar Gallactaca" and "24" are just the tip of the iceberg with this stuff (don'tcha just love he way they do that "quick zoom in, focus and wobble, then zoom in even more and refocus" shot all over the place?!). Even the ruddy BBC are doing it now. Made the mistake of watching "The Flood" on DVD last week - same "tricks" again. It's obviously "flavour of the month" just like "desaturate all the colour out of a movie because the real world isn't colour" (sarcasm off) nonsense that was all the rage last year.
