Cowslips Warren posted:Along those lines, has there ever been a Beauty and the Beast where the Beast wasn't furry or some large plush critter? I mean something that was more insect or like a rat would have far less chances of finding love than a big dog-bear mix. If the Beast was a prawn from District 9, he'd die a giant cockroach. Could've picked a better example there. There are folks who want to gently caress the prawns from D9, and you can find them in both furry and non-furry circles! Hell. Even in the movie there were prawn prostitutes iirc?

You know that if that ship showed up in the sky today there would be a demand for prawnstitutes out there tomorrow. People will gently caress anything.

Sure, but the whole point is that only a cartoonishly evil billionaire villain could possibly come up with something as hosed-up and twisted as resurrecting dinosaurs to use as entertainment for the rich. Hammond is basically that Spiderman villain going "But I don't want to cure cancer. I want to The movie kinda sweeps all of the satire under the carpet by making both Hammond and the park seem cool and awesome, while Chaos Theory and Denis Nedry are the villains for ruining everyone's fun.

If our real life billionaires would sink their money into making dinosaurs instead of killing unions I probably wouldn't hate them as much. I would still hate them, just probably not as much.

Can we stop making movies set in the 17-1800s so dark? I don't mean in material, I mean just how dim the lighting always is. I guess it's realistic, but it bothers me the same way breaking bad just tinted everything yellow to indicate they were in mexico. I can't see anything and it makes it hard to even keep track of characters. e: it's almost always accompanied by my biggest movie irritation where everyone whispers. Always cranking up the volume just to hear what they are saying, then your ears start to bleed when the music plays to transition to a new scene yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 23:27 on Feb 6, 2022 |

I guess it's realistic, That's not even an excuse. As with all things, we need simply look to Lord of the Rings to see it done right  That's a scene set at night, in a rainstorm, without a single torch in sight, and you can see everything that's going on. Did anybody complain about that? Get up and walk out of the theatre because of how unrealistic the lighting is? No! We ate our loving popcorn and drank our loving sodas and didn't even notice that we'd had to piss for the last hour and a half because we all knew we were watching the best loving movie in history

How can there be a Buzz Lightyear movie? Buzz Lightyear is a *toy*. What, was the toy named for a real astronaut who traveled to other stars, but then civilization collapsed back into a Dark Age that was remarkably similar to mid-90s consumerism and the lost grandeur of that time is remembered only as an echo frozen in action figures? Or as humanity advanced, was a young child inspired by memories of the doll to model not only his life’s ambition but his physical appearance after the toy, and succeed beyond all belief? Neither of these possibilities makes a lot of sense!

Buzz had a cartoon. iirc the opening was even a short cgi sequence of the Toy Story toys gathering for a watch party before the in universe cartoon opening played.

I get why they did it, but it looks kinda odd and absolutely not like any kind of contemporary light source. It looks like a theater stage or a theme park ride decoration.

Baron von Eevl posted:"That's not what lighting looked like back then!" It looks like there's bright sunlight streaming out from the lower parts of the castle, due to the color temperature of the lights. Spielberg does the same thing, lighting for dramatic effect, rather than realism.

Crichton ends the Jurassic Park second book with a speech about how maybe atoms aren't real, have you ever seen an atom? Like, with your eyes? The entire thesis of the series (and a lot of his other books) is that science is bad and will kill us all. JP gets a pass because it's an incredible movie and dinosaurs are so awesome it buries the dumb message. I love the series but it was a hit in spite of Crichton, not because of him.

I can't remember what movie was watching recently but the night scenes literally had giant spotlights, like in the shots and it made me lol. Do people have lovely tvs or watch movies on their phones or something? It's insanely rare that I watch a movie that's too dark to make out what's happening and then its usually a horror movie that's intentionally too dark to hide the lovely monster puppet/bad ghost cgi. I don't have a crazy high end tv or anything either but I usually do watch movies in a darkened room so maybe that helps?

Michael “the fightin” Crichton was a doctor and has bibliographies in many of his books. He had the number one movie, tv show, and book all in the same week. He was quite possibly the smartest man on the planet.
