Snak posted:Antiviral is stupid good. Didn't realize that was him either. Antiviral is a movie where the premise was so extreme that it directly impacted my enjoyment of the thing. I get that it was going for satirizing celebrity obsession, but for gently caress's sake. There's being obsessed, and there's a society that has multiple "get sick off a celebrity" clinics and celeb-flesh bistros. It's extremely well shot, Caleb is really disturbingly intense, and Sarah Gadon is one of my types, and I ultimately watch the movie often, but man.

I've heard Lucas literally put "no unspecial editions" as a clause in the sale of lucasfilms, so Disney's probably just waiting for him to die before they release the version of star wars that's good.wyoming posted:Manos deserved to be saved.

You've repeatedly argued against Star Wars being artistic or having anything to say. If you're not just trying to pretend to be a kid again, why the gently caress would you care about some "unspecial" version of the film?

It's less about wanting to pretend to be a kid, but to ensure that their (real or hypothetical) don't grow up in a world where there's Star Wars other than the ones that they, as a kid, watched.

I really need to sit down and watch the Alien movies. I keep telling people I haven't seen them since I was a kid, but the truth is, I don't think I've ever seen them.

I haven't been avoiding Alien and Aliens, but I do fear that they won't hit me the same way they hit every nerd on the planet due to absorbing them through the collective pop culture.

Reminder that Alien 3 is just as good as the first two, obviously. New one looks pretty bad but I like whatsername from Inherent Vice and hope she keeps showing up in stuff.

It looks rubbery and flat or doesn't mesh well with the its surroundings or its physics don't hold to real world standards. To me the trailer looks like tired and boring, seems like Scott just rehashed himself.

Kill Zone 2 was pretty cool but I didn't care much for the story. It was tonally all over the place. The action was cool but I think it's gonna be hard to find stuff that lives up to John Wick and Mad Max.

K. Waste posted:But what's bad about the CGI. Modern audiences are spoiled as gently caress. I was talking with one coworker about the recent Flash tv show and saying how some of the cgi in the recent episodes could be feature worthy. My other coworker, who won't shut the gently caress about Rick & Morty and quantum theory and cyber upgrades and other dumb poo poo was complaining about the cgi looking like it came from a PS2 game. I sometimes have to blank out things I hear at work. Like how it takes some people DAYS to watch a movie. Like, they'll watch a couple minutes of it, then turn it off and do something else. What in the gently caress?

Uncle Boogeyman posted:I still haven't seen The Bourne Legacy and heard mixed things about it, but doing it that way, just following a different supersoldier, that seemed like the right way to keep the series going. It's a fine idea, poor execution. The action isn't up to snuff and Jeremy Renner is boring. The two most recent Universal Soldiers blow it out of the water. edit: Though, the opening sequence in the cabin is good. You've got Oscar Isaac and the fight with the drone is well done.

Spatulater bro! posted:It looks like cgi from 2002. Considering how understated the special effects are and how short the shot lengths are, I'm not seeing what looks 'old' about them. I like that little whisp in the water as the ship is gliding in. Like, give me a specific shot, because it seems like there are a lot of them where there might be a considerable amount of both CGI and 'practical' effects work, but I can't necessarily discern, as Death By would have it, how it's 'not meshing' with the environment or looking otherwise 'off' physically.                 These all look like really well-shot and formalized effects to me. What's breaking your 'immersion,' other than your consciousness that there is CGI, and that you're watching a trailer?
