Thinking about how Lucas tried passing on the Phantom Menace to other directors but they refused because they thought George was too good even when in reality it was his wife and the directors of ANH and TESB that carried the original trilogy

Cabbages and Kings posted:I thought it was perfectly acceptable in 1080p on a 12' projector screen, and the main things I missed from the full IMAX experience was being coughed on by random people during a pandemic, $15 popcorn, and raging tinnitus upon leaving the theater. That's a pretty sweet set up. The benefit of the pandemic and catching a show midday on a weekday os that there's not a lot of people in the theatre with you. We were like a dozen people maybe, so it was pretty awesome. And when they did The Voice i felt it in my bones, so i felt the sound was well calibrated! indigi posted:snyders toxic fandom is ruining the thread by toxicly saying “I enjoyed the movies We are very sinister that way. Serf posted:man, mother was such a loving trip of a movie. i saw it with my brother and the whole time we were just baffled in a good way. excellent movie, i always recommend it to people I know that's not what you mean, but I do feel it's a bit unfair to blame the technology (Or Lucas, for that matter ) for the lazy directors who use it to make up for their shortcomings.

The early mcu films actually had pretty good vfx, back when they made an effort and didn't just greenscreen everything

McCloud posted:You mean phallic and yonic Krypton, where everything is a genital Yeah whatever it was neat and stylized enough that the inferiority of the CGI a decade ago doesn't matter. I am rewatching MoS right now and is pretty good. McCloud posted:My sense of time is kinda scrambled, but I vaguely feel Transformers predates even the MCU at this stuff, with all their supeebusy cgi and a gazillion moving parts. The aesthetic of transformers caused sensory overload lol. It doesn't help that the movie was full of tacticool operators going toe to toe with giant death robots. Snyder's capekinos at least show the military being completely ineffectual. Tankbuster has issued a correction as of 17:59 on Nov 5, 2021 |

Judakel posted:cliffs notes! that's what they're called. lmao imagine not wanting to do some basic reading and needing cliffs notes. apparently they give you interpretations of the text, too. goddamn, lucas is just a fat lazy sack Ah yes. My high school was thoughtful enough to stock the room used for in school suspension and detention with basically a full set of cliff notes for most things you might be asked to read in a high school english class. I believe getting detention was the only reason I "read" The Crucible and some loving Jane Austin novel.

Flipside, my personal favorite painting is Miro's Carnaval d'Arlequin. I have a full size reasonably high quality lithiograph of it. It's also in the permanent collection of the Albright Knox museum, and I used to go stare at it for extended periods of time there. I enjoy the print, but, it's a very different experience. If I was .1%er klept class, I'd buy the original. Cabbages and VHS has issued a correction as of 18:13 on Nov 5, 2021 |

I watched it to, but don't know why, i didn't get any of the references. that's because it's a couple of foppish dandies saying French phrases like "je juene" or referencing Baudelaire as if most folks do that. I often google the jokes only to realize they're not as funny as just the way David Hyde Pierce delivered it.

The snyder cut literally shows cyborg watching a bear and a bull fight each other over a treasury building while his dad tells him he has complete power over the world's financial system. There's a sincerity to his work which is incredibly refreshing when you compare it to your average marvel movie. At the end of the day comic books aren't modern myth because myths get reinterpreted by people over time. Cape comics are owned by giant corporations who use it as a product.

Lucas might have been in reality a bad, lazy director (in the 90's) too focused on CGI and toy potential but at least he tried to say something with the prequels

do you think people who worked on or are otherwise associated with The Eternals watched Dune, to keep up with developments in the world of cinema and see what else is out there etc, or do you think they're all snapping at any of their friends and relatives who mention having seen it My first job out of college was at Microsoft, and I remember on like day 2 my boss asked me what video games I was playing and was visibly upset when I mentioned Mario Galaxy 2. We didn't even work in Xbox
