Mierenneuker posted:Following the multi-layered and controversial Starship Troopers (1997), Verhoeven wanted to tone down the levels of sex and violence in his next film, aiming to make a more "conventionally commercial blockbuster". Starship Troopers is the least layered film ever made, barring other Verhoeven films.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Saw the trailer for the new Invisible Man film. It looks like it might be pretty good, but I'm kinda hoping there's a line or something in there about how he's not visible under a thermal cam, cause if not, gently caress the whole movie plot can be solved in a day by just buying a camera off amazon and overnighting it.

The talk of invisible optics reminds me of two stories that went in the opposite direction. X: The Man with the Xray Eyes, a really old but fun b-movie, and an episode of Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, where a character makes eye drops that allow him to see through his friends cards in poker. In both cases the serum is cumulative, causing blindness after a while without special equipment to hinder the vision. In X the main character takes to wearing dark glasses everywhere, eventually blindfolding himself, but is unable to escape his enhanced vision, eventually ripping out his own eyes to try to stop it because he's seeing to the ends of the universe and he cannot handle it. With Strange Days' version of the story it has a neat tension building moment where the character is using his vision to search the antagonist's office for an item, only to run into a table and realise "poo poo, I cannot see this room at all..." BTW X had amazing eye makeup.   I love that it hides his eyes for the entire movie, but at a few points midway and at the end the blindfold is removed and you see that. It really sells that his eyes are turbo-hosed.

Here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-38qQBofak I imagine x-rays were more of a new and exciting thing at the time, making the movie a novelty and an obvious sci-fi topic. Nowadays though this is just quaint. Although ugh at both the science and ethics of movies/shows acting like x-ray vision would let you see people's naked bodies, and also that its totally cool to spy on people if you can get away with it. I can vaguely recall an episode of Louis and Clark where Superman hangs out on a rooftop just watching women take showers in the next building over through the walls. I think it was like evil superman or something though...

L&C had it, but it was him stopping a guy who had his powers from spying on the chicks in the gym locker room. Same dude that invented the invisible suit that was covered in thousands of tiny mirrors, making them invisible to the naked eye! Also, Dean Cain is a gigantic rear end in a top hat nowadays, unfortunately.

Android Apocalypse posted:Real talk: thermal imaging doesn't allow you to see through walls like the movies. The Baldwin brother/Cindy Crawford movie Fair Game had a scene where not only did thermal cameras see through walls, but you could defeat them by taking a really cold shower. I don't know a lot about thermal imaging, but I'm pretty sure you have to lower your body temperature to 'death' to avoid being seen.

That seems like it'd work, given fridges are specifically designed to keep the temperature sealed in?

Alhazred posted:Arnie puts on some mud and becomes invisible for the predator. The mud could actually work, albeit briefly. Like, its something between the IR his body is giving off and the predators thermal vision. He would have to keep cooling the mud, though, it wouldnt be useful once it comes up to temperature.

Yea, Arnie is in a steaming jungle and had just come out of the water (which I assume is cooler than ambient temp), and slathered cold mud on him. That kinda makes sense, since most thermal cams see in a range around ambient or higher.

Makes sense to me. The Predator probably had his thermal vision set to human temperatures, filtering out ambient and lower.

It only needed to work for about a minute, before the predator got distracted and decided to look elsewhere. It helped that Arnold wasn't moving around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktVqsBgOvBI&t=113s

What about Sneakers, when they increase the temperature in the room to 38°C so that Robert Redford can Sneak in and steal Cosmo's box? Would that defeat the thermal sensors of 1992?

Maybe, but I think he'd be dead before he got remotely close to being finished, since the suit was built to keep his heat in.

It's great when they try this trick in Predator 2 (I want to say in a meat packing warehouse?) and the Predator just changes the settings on his thermal vision to compensate.
