Gripweed posted:lol apparently that Morricone quote is total bullshit Playboy is more trustworthy than the Daily Mail but not that much more. I really wish proper news outlets would vet stories from other sources more thoroughly before spreading them around. I know that probably goes against the modern pageview economy, but still.

I feel like this story really only spread because a lot of people got to wring their hands in glee and echo the most simplistic and reductive criticism of Tarantino there is. Like they can point at Morricone's 'comments' and say see, we're totally right and someone important agrees with us. Anyway, Morricone has set his lawyers off to Playboy to ask what the gently caress has happened. I'd love to see the author's justification for that piece.

I just thought it was hilarious because someone in this thread had posted an old interview with Morricone described every director he worked with as "Bellissimo."

Man it must have been an emotional rollercoaster of a morning for Tarantino, assuming his house isn’t like actively burning down.

Hal died. https://twitter.com/TwitterMoments/status/1061759813523267584 You should watch 2001 if it's not a film you've seen/it has been a while.

FYI, Kubrick cast Rain as HAL after hearing his narration for the NFB Canada short Universe, which was also an inspiration for 2001. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48gIN4hGOdI

Why, in restored films from the 70s and before, does the visual quality of the film drop right as it goes into a transition between scenes? Is it because the restoration team is using different sources for each scene, is it that the original elements are lower quality because they were duplicated for the effect in the first place?

Is it because the restoration team is using different sources for each scene, is it that the original elements are lower quality because they were duplicated for the effect in the first place? For most 35mm movies, transitions were duplicate elements so that a single strand of negative could be used to make prints. Sometimes the entire shot would be a duplicate or just when the transition started. WarnerColor and Technicolor preferred to dupe an entire shot (even if it could literally be minutes before the transition) while Deluxe and Pathe liked cutting in dupes. Oddly enough, films shot on 65mm, VistaVision, and 16mm were usually assembled as A/B rolls, so transitions were created on the printer if they were fades or dissolves. Another reason for quality loss is that duplicating stocks weren't as good. Technicolor could do a nice job and by the 40s B&W didn't look as bad. But look at 50s WarnerColor films and see some really awful-looking dupes. And they usually didn't save the pre-duping elements, so restorations have had to work around them.

Watching a 50s WarnerColor now so that tracks perfectly.

I'm really stupid about this stuff, could you maybe add some Screenshots that show what you are talking about? Thanks!

My 90s League is SA Dale Cooper (rescued from the Black Lodge at some point in the mid-90s), The Mask, Léon the Professional, Jennifer Jason Leigh from Single White Female, The Unsinkable Molly Brown (who in this timeline was frozen in the iceberg and released by Bill Paxton and old Rose), and Lou Diamond Phillips as himself. Edit: And Reginald Vel Johnson as a mash-up of the cop from Die Hard and the dad from Family Matters. Carly Gay Dead Son fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Nov 12, 2018 |

If we're going 90's I got Blade and I don't know why I need anyone else. Something where Julia Roberts played a really smart woman, and I guess John Conner because he's really good at not dyeing too early.

I'm redoing mine: Al Pacino from Heat recruits Liu Kang, Ghost Dog, GI Jane, Frasier Crane and Blank Man to go up against... The Jackal. The framing device is an investigative report written by Erin Brokovich.

Gatts posted:90s LXG I don't know what the rules are for this game, but claiming the entire Wu Tang Clan as one slot has to violate it. That's more people than the rest of your team combined. I'm sticking with Blade, Smart Julia Roberts (Pelican Brief, she was a paralegal in that who survived several attempts at her life) and John Connors. Buffy is redundant if you have Blade, Samus is a videogame character who lives in the future, Lisa Simpson is a cartoon character, Michael Jordan is the second best basketball player ever but isn't really good at anything else, Tyler Durden is just a bad team player.
