Talk:Pickup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fantastic article; thanks to whoever wrote it. I think it qualifies as brilliant prose. But--should it be under the singular ("Pickup") instead? Also, one can be said to make "pickups" of shots in movies; I'm debating whether there is enough to say about them to add the second sense--perhaps not, but maybe so. Anyway, thanks again for the entry.  :-) --Koyaanis Qatsi

Pickups doesn't make sense when directed towards film theory. It is more about the workings of movie making and not the philosophy.

Also, I believe 'pickup,' when used in regards to games, was first used in conjunction with basketball, such as, "We played a pickup game of ball last night with a bunch of kids at the park." */_\ Jimcripps 04:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
