I'm not a film maker but a cinephile, and from what I gather you have two of the exceptions correct. Another is when breaking the fourth wall or if a character is also a narrator (eg Rango).

Sooooo...

I know there are some film makers on the sift. Somebody explain to me the rule on looking at the camera. I got the idea from somewhere that you were supposed to look off to the side of the camera rather than directly at it, in order to not freak the viewer out.

From this video it looks like there are two exceptions?

1. When the camera respresents the frame of reference of a character.
2. When you WANT to freak the viewer out.

Am I pretty close?

This is a gifset waiting to happen.

muchas gracias!

This must be a problem with your internet connection, or a temporary down of YT (less likely). The vid works fine for me in any case.

Indeed. Loved the "not the "straight brotherhood", the "brotherhood"" part! Are you sifting it? If not, I will

Who knew we needed this as much as we do!?

That "we renew our whole body" shtick has been around as long as it has been refuted: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/aprilholladay/2007-03-30-cell-lifetime_N.htm

Also, what the hell does "breathing manually" mean? With my hands?

I prefer the original of course, but there were laughs to be had with this version as well.

Bad bad BAD language, but I suspect you might enjoy the English slang lesson. As would @hpqp.
