Wouldn't say you've missed much.
I mean, there was that one camera thread where everyone agreed on what the best camera available was, pretty much put that debate to bed for good. Oh, and that guy who would paypal you whatever you needed budget-wise if you just sent him a logline of your project, I know a lot of people here got funded that way (I didn't even know you could transfer $1 million via paypal!). The news about the big studios shifting away from blockbusters and towards theatrically releasing low/no budget films from unknown filmmakers was kind of interesting too.
Otherwise, pretty typical month around here.
