To Clumsy's question regarding Jeremy Renner and "where he came from": if you're serious and looking for perspectives, I'd wager that Renner has blown up substantially (no pun intended) after his star turn in The Hurt Locker, especially since he got a Best Actor nomination for that and the film (deservedly or no) cleaned up the major awards at the Oscars. I still think it's interesting that they don't do the trend of prefacing his name with his "Oscar nominated" status, but I guess that doesn't count for films like Avengers and M:I-4.

The Expendables: We take our teal and orange very seriously. Check out all three pictures in the review. Blue-ish background, a guy in black, his slightly orange-tinted face.

The biggest problem with The Expendables is that Sylvester Stallone is harder to understand than Dark Knight Rises Bane. They even do a joke about how so much of the cast is not American, and Stallone is by far the hardest man to understand.

Fun Fact: There are two main color temperatures for film lighting (and most lighting in general) 3200 Kelvin and 5600 Kelvin. 3200 K is an Orange color, 5600 K is Blue. In film they are often mixed, hence "teal and orange" So, get used to teal and orange, folks, because it ain't new and it ain't going nowhere.

I'm pretty sure people complain about blue and orange in movies because they think they are overused, not because they don't go together.

The point is that CTO (color temperature Orange) and CTB (Color temperature Blue) are white balance temperatures, so at least one of them is going to be pure white with traditional stock or white balance settings. 32 has chroma on 56 stock and vice versa, but you wouldn't get both that way. I don't think that's the reason for that prominence, I think it's just a marketing decision of the last 20 years.

Now that Oprah has gotten all over the Beasts of the Southern Wild every middle aged woman is going to wet their panties over it. I'm glad for the film maker because the exposure will allow him to do more but the whole Oprah-fest bit is hard to watch.

Psalmanazar posted:http://www.somethingawful.com/d/current-movie-reviews/cold-light-day.php?page=1 Nah, that happened at or shortly after the peak of his fame. I'm pretty sure he went off the fame cliff at the tail end of the '90s with that movie about lawyers in China or whatever. After that he met the Mothman and the only lingering thoughts of him in the public psyche were gerbils/hamsters and Buddhism.

He was in that awful Brooklyn's Finest movie that came out last year. I only remember it because I had to review it. Gere's gone from A-list Leading Man to Regular Working Actor fairly quietly.
