And I assume he went on to have the same kind of normal, safe and trouble free childhood that every child star has which always leads to them growing into a healthy well balanced adult?

Kurt Russell posted:You have criminals doing horrible things and you have cops trying to stop them. The cops have been hired by society to do that, but society hired the cops within guidelines and what many cops find out is that they can't always stop criminals within these guidelines. So, if you hold hard and fast to the rules, the crime rate goes through the roof; once you relax the guidelines, and if you're the individual cop that's going to do that, you bring crime down but you have society on your back for breaking the rules. It's a ball that goes back and forth. Yes, totally normal.

child acting is hosed up on every level, and could explain the conservative political instincts of most actors... though id be more willing to be it's their income that makes them think conservative things. Fantastic how child labor is super illegal except for if they are trying to make a tv show!

General IIMM (more of a TV thing actually): When people say "screw you!" because networks won't allow them to say "gently caress you!" I am convinced that nobody over the age of 8 has ever actually said "screw you" to somebody. No actor is able to pull it off. The only time it has ever worked is in Total Recall because it was a ridiculous Arnold pun.

Non-cgi The Matrix complaint: At least in 4k, during the opening set piece it is much too obvious that the city in the background is a flat painting.

The Matrix has a bunch of practical effects that are only there for a split second and not really visible in SD. Like the hidden camera in the reflection of the door knob.  Just throw a blanket over it and paint it to match Morpheus' tie.

I love Boogie Nights and Alfred Molina's scene in particular but, as a former coke fiend, couple things bug me: 1. No one, and I mean NO ONE, is going to buy cocaine from anyone without doing a bump or two, a key blast or at least tasting or smelling it. My man just gives it over to his bodyguard to weigh and even he doesn't test it, smell it or instantly recognize the difference between baking soda and coke, which is easy to spot. That con/burn wouldn't have taken a minute, let alone 5. It's not like Molina knew and trusted Todd either since he barely remembered his name or even where he knew him from. You also don't bring two unknown people with you to drug deal, especially one involving half a kilo. Hell, my friends had to wait in the car if I went in to cop even a gram and dealers were particularly squirrely about strangers. 2. When Molina is freebasing, his pipe has water in it which is a big no no. Cocaine is water soluble and, back in my less respectful days, we never EVER smoked freebase through a water bong like that. I guess one can chalk it up to the character being based out of his mind and having been up for 3 days or whatever but it still didn't ring true.

Saw the new Spider-Man movie today, and it was pretty great. Only thing that kinda bugged me was (and this is a big spoiler so don't read it if you wanna be surprised in the movie) somehow the villains got yanked from the respective universes, and then the other spidermen did, but the villains were from a different era in time than the spidermen. No idea why it yanked them outta the past but got the spidermen from present day. Just thought that was weird. Still, loved the movie.

Since the other spidermans hadn't died, they were taken from the present day. Or, you know, magic.

Unrelay that but still a NWH spoiler: It was odd how fast the whole "Law enforcement thinks he murdered Quinton Beck and had drones attack London" plotline that was the GIANT HOOK from the previous movie is resolved. I get that it was just needed as part of the impetus to get Peter to want Dr.Strange to help, but still weird it lasted all of five minutes. But we got Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock again, though not officially Daredevil... technically... but still cool.

It's frustrating to realize how many special effects in Star Wars episode 1 were practical. Everything looking fake and shiny wasn't a side effect of crappy CGI, it was how Lucas wanted stuff to look. Even the painstakingly crafted models looked weirdly...not real. The Rami Spider-Man movies feel like a high water mark for practical mixed with CGI. Spider-Man swinging around is all digital, but close up he still needed to wear a $60k custom made suit and do enough of his own stunts to gently caress up his back.

Morpheus posted:Then theres the 'mj clutching onto a spiderman model while her hair blows backwards' shot I love that scene because you're not likely to notice it on your first viewing, but now it provides endless entertainment. Also they could have easily had her hanging onto Toby. There's nothing stopping that, but they decided to spend more effort to make it look worse. They do 156 takes of the cafeteria scene, but this 3 second moment, let's fake that.

Oh right came into this thread to post about Titans, season 3. Absolutely wild how incompetent every protagonist is so far. I'm only on episode three, so maybe things change going forward, but so far the heroes have failed in everything they have attempted to do, either by just loving up spectacularly or by playing directly into the villain's hands. It's really annoying because this is exactly how season 2 worked: an omniscient villain that could foretell every single thing the heroes would do. And the heroes fall for it every single time. Frustrating to watch, because you know exactly what's going to happen: they're going to gently caress it up every single time until the final episode, when they don't. Doesn't help that it's so goddamn obvious that scarecrow is runnjng the show. I mean, from his appearance as a recurring character, to drugs, to constant references of facing fears. Can't wait for that 'big reveal'. Also in the third episode there's a device that's linked to someone's heartbeat. Multiple devices are synced to this thing so that everyone can see the heartbeat count. Does this thing have an internet connection or something, how do you 'sync' to something that has variable speed.

It's a show for children, often those have heavily broadcast tropes because children are less familiar with the way tropes work, etc.

Captain Monkey posted:It's a show for children, often those have heavily broadcast tropes because children are less familiar with the way tropes work, etc. Pretty sure the actual Teen Titans cartoon show for children managed to talk down to them less. It's amazing how DC has completely squandered that show's runaway popularity with demographics they'd struggled to appeal to for two decades at this point.

The claws poking out of her back/shoulder definitely didn't blend right in HD, it looked like a hastily cobbled-together low res GIF overlay.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Pretty sure the actual Teen Titans cartoon show for children managed to talk down to them less. Yeah there is a way to make hero shows for young adults that still have good plots and character development. My sister watched all of Young Justice with her daughter, for example, and had good things to say about it. Titans is just poorly written, audience be damned. Still going to watch all of this garbage and yell at it though. At least in shows like Flash and Green Arrow, the protagonists still have victories, often slowing down the villain's plots or at least getting distracted by other issues while the villain moves in the shadows. In this show it's pretty much Villain: I'm going to do evil thing Titans: No we're going to stop you from doing evil thing Villain: Ha that was my plan all along and now evil thing actually occurred Titans: gently caress, poo poo Or Titans: No wait stopping evil thing is what he wants us to do Villain: Ha I knew youd think that so now my evil thing goes ahead anyway Titans: rear end, poo poo, gently caress

Hell, Season 1 of Arrow did it brilliantly -the heroes stopped the villain's earthquake machine, but then that moment where they realise that the villain had a second earthquake machine prepped at the same time that no one knew about happens and it hits them super hard because they were so sure of themselves.

Probably had no tracking/reference for aiding in vfx. They would have been watching it in at least 2k resolution back then before printing it to film. It doesn't help that we've been rewatching it in SD for however many years.
