It’s like asking someone if they liked the big lebowski the first time they watched it.

Dilkington posted:But digital in 1999 looked bad. Not to put too fine a point on things, but digital did not create pleasing images It's really remarkable how much the concept of Film has changed within our lives. The movies we watch are so immaculate. You miss out on the small imperfections of film and that's kind of weird that you just forget that there used to be grain or splices or reel change markers or jitter... As for Lucas, the oft-repeated story is that he was so miserable with the on location shooting in Tunisia that he wanted more control over all the externalities, while also finding ways to get his films closer to the ideas he saw (reducing the limitations of conventional practical effects). So he gravitated towards CGI and digital sets.

Props for him getting a film made about black airmen. Though maybe he should have just financed it and found a black up and coming director to helm it....

Latest Mandalorian was awesome. A bunch of baby Yoda farting about and Mando has to say more than four lines. Toss in a busted up piece of poo poo AT-ST and it's golden. Obviously the fact that they bring on not just one but two strong women will make certain people screech but fuckem.

gently caress the screwfly CHUDS forever. Catering to them is a dead end; the whole culture war grift is to find an angle where you can be aggrieved no matter what. If they didn't have girls in it they would say Yoda is a metaphor for demographic replacement or something. It was a bit more of a "light" episode, tonally more ewok adventure than rogue one, but still drat safisfying. Turns out going back to formula and ripping off kurosawa with space western trappings gets yo a serviceable star war, who knew?

Any funny alternative names for this surely great movie? Haven't seen one that makes me chuckle. Gotta get them ready for release night at 12am Star Wars : The Lies of Skywalker... ehh... The Red Eyes of Skywalker... ehhh... more fun than Davy Jones' Locker?

He was ALL over the promotions for it, he was in a lot of interviews taking credit for it all. I think he got flack for going on Oprah alone about it. Can't remember much about that though.

Really liked it overall, although the little skirmish with no good guy casualties kinda clashes with the tone. Red eye viewports were especially with the low lit Chase scene

The Protagonist posted:Womyn punch mans!? But mans steel hard punch tuff space armor 💪 !! Especially funny given we have never once seen a Mandalorian not get their poo poo kicked in a fist fight that wasn't a CGI Mandalorian. The reason being you cannot see loving poo poo out of those helmets. Your eyes are where the "nose" is on the helmet. Try choreographing a convincing fight that isn't Jango v. Obi-Wan or Mando v. Cara when one of your stunt actors can barely see.

Kazak posted:I think it's a real maneuver, but Lucas in all his wisdom somehow makes a dogfight look like its moving at a snail's pace Its kinda like a real maneuver, but without the parts that are subject to gravity and drag and laws of motion, thus looks really fake, since it kinda is. You can do really crazy poo poo in air combat, but no this. Like back in WW1 planes were going so slow you could hit the rudder so hard the plane would fly sideways for a few seconds , enabling a "drive by" shooting to the side of the actual flight axis, only to straighten out by motion by itself (and counter rudder). Richthofen scored a couple of kill this way, handbreak-turning out of a head-to-head to gun the enemy plane into the side whil being out of harms way himself, so its not just a "what if" scenario. You cant do that while going 500mph though, just like stalling yourself in a looping to cut it short. Youre simply going too fast for this to work in a Mustang, while it might completely doable in a Fokker.
