ToxicSlurpee posted:At the time CGI was still expensive, tedious, and limited in what it could do. Practical effects were preferred whenever possible because they were cheaper. Computers were also not nearly as powerful as they are now. It's actually mind bending what sorts of stuff people could accomplish with nothing but real world stuff and it's sad that the movie industry is so heavy on CGI these days. Real things had more weight to them and looked more real because they, you know, were, and dealing with the limitations of reality also forced movie makers to get more creative. Yeah, a lot of poo poo came out too, but a monster doesn't need to be the size of a building to be scary. I miss Jim Henson so much

To break up the "T2" gifs, have the opening to this gem.     Derek Jarman did the set and costume design work on this film by the way.

I just saw this episode the other day, and it is pretty ridiculous, and to make it even steamier Marina Sirtis joins in like 5 seconds later.

The funniest part about this is that they were too lazy to even create a new set for it. It's just the hallway with a couple of mirrors.

Doctor Bishop posted:Ya, I got a request. Please do the scene where the T-1000 unintentionally has his hand take on the texture of a guardrail and then flaps it back to normal.     Aaaaaaand that's it for "T2". I'll do a few from "Total Recall" next, but I'll wait til tomorrow to post them. As a bonus, check out these super-low gas prices!

As far as I know, she and Marina Sirtis were having some sort of feuding catfight, so the writers made them do this. I guess the objective was to say "Knock it off or there will be more humiliation"?

/edit: ^^^^^ HAH! I wasn't imagining it! Was that scene in the original release? I can't remember either the hand bit or the camera tilt during the part where T1000 is masquerading as Sarah and John figures out which one is the fake because the T1000 is glitching on the grates on the floor. I recall seeing those scenes when we fired up the bluray a few years ago and thinking "oh, they hint at him glitching... wait, I never saw this!" Then again, I saw it on theaters when I was 10, so my memory may not be reliable.

Robert Denby posted:EDIT: This site, which has Yeah, I remember that ending from the "special features" or something, but it really struck me as odd that they removed the T1000 glitching since it's... 31 seconds? 18 if you only use the scene with the hand glitch and John looking down; in the original cut you never see how John realizes Sarah is actually the T1000, he just sees the other (the real) Sarah and dives out of the way when she tells him to, but there's no real reason for him to trust that Sarah over the T1000. The other removed scenes are just flavour and I can see them being removed to trim the 'fat' as it were from the final cut, but that one is just weird.

It's only thirty seconds, but it's thirty seconds dropped into the climax of the film. Thirty seconds can totally kill a scene's momentum, and those extra bits really don't do any service to the plot, anyway. Also the T1000 would never tell John to "get down," so that's pretty much all he needs to come to a decision about which Sarah is real or fake.

I think part of the problem with the T1000 glitches is that they don't really explain it in the movie. So you'd just have the audience confused as to why he wasn't working right all of a sudden.

So you'd just have the audience confused as to why he wasn't working right all of a sudden. The part where he got frozen solid in liquid nitrogen, smashed into a million pieces and then reheated by a puddle of molten steel didn't clue you in? Rapidly going from one temperature extreme to another is bad for electronic products.

I vaguely remember some quote about how they'd pissed off the producers or costume designers at some point and that scene, or at the very least the absurd outfits, was some kind of revenge.

BANME.sh posted:But he actually injured a bunch of cops. And would two half-casualties equal 1.0 casualty? How would you be able to tell if that was two leg injuries or one death? The whole thing is very ambiguous. He capped a bunch in the knees, but that was after mini-gun madness. Or it could just be assessing the number present divided by the number killed, which would likely end up in non-whole numbers in the form of #.# instead of .## format. Never mind the fact that a terminator, let alone anything at Skynet analyzing the data off it later would even need a visual interface to begin with.

Because this just popped up on imgur: I brought it up in the post where I accidentally started the CGI discussion shitstorm. I don't care what flaws people say they see in that movie, it ruled. The puppets ruled, the sets ruled, the contact juggling ruled, and Bowie's pants ruled. David Bowie's package deserved an Oscar for Best Supported Actor.

A friend of mine used to be a firefighter until someone set off a siren in his ear, and caused total hearing loss and even a TBI, to the extent that he's on permanent disability because he can't even stand up straight by himself. Granted that's about 5dB louder than one of those canned air horns, but if someone set one of those off in my ear my initial reaction would be to lay him out.

I am pretty sure he was serious, as anyone who has had some rear end in a top hat blow an airhorn into their ear, or knows anything about how easy it is to suffer permanent hearing loss, will absolutely lay a motherfucker out for that poo poo. I have a minor case of tinnitus due to loud cars, firearms, and raves and am pretty paranoid about what's left of my hearing. You make my ears ring and you're going to find your ears ringing as well, for a slightly different reason.
