Colonel Whitey posted:Does anyone know offhand why split diopters were so popular during this period of cinema? I know de Palma loved them and used them well but a lot of directors seemed to use them willy nilly just for the heck of it in the 70s. I'd never heard of them before I watched Star Trek: TMP. All I can tell you is that apparently they were much cheaper for the same or better light intake; as another poster said up the page, on that film they desperately needed more light cheaply, as the Enterprise bridge proved almost impossible to add additional lights to without washing out the control panels.

I'm going to be shocked if Thanos isn't rocking his full comic costume by the end. It will be one of those moments purposely set up to be be "ahhh hell poo poo just got real". And I'll love it.

I just now realized Falcon is also in that running shot. Lmao at Rhodey and Falcon just blending in the background. Hope they change that somehow, if possible because that's just a microcosm of how bad the Marvel movies look.

Ghosthotel posted:Can you tell me what’s cool about it without using the reason “they’re all on the screen at the same time.”? For me it's the escalation and build up of the films leading up to this point. It's a decades worth of loosely interconnected comic book movies converging into a single film. I think that's pretty cool. If only all post Captain America 1 MCU films didn't look bland as gently caress visually, I'd be way more excited. Infinity War will probably be like other post phase 1 MCU films: generic but enjoyable entertainment.

I mean, the contrast between "this is the film we've been waiting a DECADE for" and "why don't you nerds get it's cool to see our favorite heroes together" is what's interesting to me. Like, I am going to see and probably enjoy IW but what's the point in getting "hyped" for it. I agree it will be cool to see people together but that's like one unique thing and isn't mind blowing. It will probably be quippy and quick paced and be exactly as entertaining as most big budget blockbusters are when you're hopped up on sugar in the theater. What do people think is going to make this so much more special than any other movie that makes the "build up" worth it. It won't be the best written movie or have the most developed characters in film next year, it will be lucky if it even claims that title amongst 2018 blockbusters.

Instead of splicing a few lame jokes into a battle of titans, start a quip, cut to a gorgeous, fluid shot of Iron Man obliterating someone, then cut back for the second half of the ironic comment.

I'm not really HYPED but I'm looking forward too it. I'd much rather make my own stuff than watch it these days, so it's very rare for me to be STOKEDD to see something. I'm stoked for The Disaster Artist and I was stoked for Alien and Guardians. That's kind of it. The rest I was looking forward too.

Ok that makes sense. It must also be one of those stylistic trends with no real explanation as you can see them used a in movies like All The President’s Men in well-lit conditions as well. Seems like today someone would just use a deep focus lens if they want to flatten the image and have multiple subjects in focus but for a while there split diopter was the way to go. When it’s used well you don’t notice the blurry parts of the foreground image. Found this via google, it’s not in depth but provides some examples: https://nofilmschool.com/2013/10/deep-focus-use-of-split-diopters-in-film

That’s just in the same realm of “they’re all on the same screen at once.” I understand being excited about the idea of that but that shot in particular (and most of the trailer tbh) looks like dogshit. So I’m genuinely looking for any reason why that shot is cool or good that isn’t just “we’ve been marketing this to you for ten years now”.

I think they made a mistake by basically doing another Avengers film with Civil War before handling the Thanos storyline. This is just my feeling of course, but too much time has gone by now, and the importance of Thanos and the Infinity Stones hasn't been built up properly. I have a feeling a significant percentage of the audience will not remember a thing about the Infinity Stones going into the movie and yet this is being treated as the payoff for the entire MCU up to this point. It's definitely going to be a wet fart in the eyes of a lot of people. Better for them to have saved Civil War for a completely new cycle when it wouldn't have gummed up the works with Thanos and when it could've been given more than a single film to breathe, which I think that story needed to not feel as forced as it was.

I guess I don't see that as "hype" so much as just...predictions about a film you're excited to see. I am specifically addressing the "movie we've been waiting a decade for" sentiment. Waiting for what? To debate who is going to die (no cheating and googling whose contract is up)? To see even more people on screen together than in Civil War? Neurolimal posted:As someone with no real malice in either general direction, DC fans do give off a really powerful aura of insecurity. I mean, again, you have people in here acting like this is the second coming. I don't think its insecurity rather than bafflement at why these movies are considered "good movie making that you dorks aren't used to seeing".

I'm the same way as I enjoy both Marvel and DC films alike and will call out a lovely film when I see it from either studio. But I also like revelling in all the dumb fanboy antics on social media because it's fascinating. From what I've seen, it's not really hard to see why DC fandom gets so defensive when any moment they express their interest in a DC film or Zack Snyder or whatever, they're almost always immediately bombarded with poo poo like "dumb DC movies are for retards and no one likes them, look at the RT scores and critic reviews" or idiots (sometimes even critics) saying stuff like "Zack Snyder is a self hating jew, congrats on enjoying the work of an Ayn Rand fanatic." Dunno if it's the same in comic book fandom, but the for the movies it's generally like that.

It will be interesting to see how they handle Thanos, either if they go the Ronan route of being a basic movie-progressing plot device, the Loki route of a somewhat understandable villain (the spirit journey quote suggests this one), or the Ultron route of being a reflection of the main character that genuinely criticizes them. I'm not too excited for that trailer, but trailers tend to be more indicative of the trailer editors' skill than the actual films quality. Every big budget action film has That Shot of a bunch of characters running at each other or a city blowing up, or the closest thing the film has to that.

Not nearly enough people read superhero comics to have these kinds of mass cultic experiences. The arguments regarding what comics you like and what it says about you are far more esoteric and usually much more nasty and personal (or "personality-driven").
