watch movies like you listen to music. you put it on, how do you feel? don't think 'drat why is there an Am chord here. its so unusual. why is the opening of the song so slow'. you're being an rear end in a top hat just listen and vibe. It's someone's self expression. if you don't like it that's ok maybe you don't like jazz

if you're having trouble "getting" David Lynch just skip ahead to the episode about the kid with hulk hands in Twin Peaks season 3 and realize that he actually sucks

Stuff like Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive are also deliberately making fun of an era of TV that is long gone, so it may be hard to connect with that aspect of them nowadays

it's like I had a buddy in highschool loved John Mayer etc. I put on Kid A and he was like, drat this poo poo sucks. And where he was coming from, he was right, what he liked about music wasn't present, and he couldn't identify with it. But after I was playing it a few times he texted me 'he what was that song that goes 'do do do'. and he got into it after that, once he gave up the pretension of what music should be and didn't see other music as an attack on his tastes or self image

ironically this also happened:

Avatar 2 being cheaper than three of the Avengers movies is kind of surprising especially when you consider a chunk of that money went into developing new technologies and techniques to make it look good

not that many big paychecks. saldana only got $8m

quote:

The salaries for Avengers: Age of Ultron have just been released, and they are incredibly telling. The rankings are as follows:

Robert Downey Jr. - $40 million

Scarlett Johansson - $20 million

Chris Evans - $6.9 million

Jeremy Renner - $6.1 million

Chris Hemsworth - $5.4 million

Mark Ruffalo - $2.8 million

Twin Peaks season three captures the essence of our contemporary era better than any other media. It absolutely rules, even if that means it isn’t as enjoyable.

because it can be pleasing to consume art that executes its themes well, and sometimes even more so when those themes are relatable

eh. hobbit had a fuckton of really grody bad cgi effects compared to LOTR (and it had a few bad ones itself like the ghosts or some of the scenes of gondor breaking). the loving river scene was a joke and looked horribly bad. a few of the dragon scenes were also really bad. it was definitely a lazily low-effort garbage poo poo out for a paycheck

but yes i'd agree the problem with those movies weren't the effects , not even close to the mountain of other issues

Lotr ghosts look amazing up close, the green battle mist I'll give ya, that looks like poo poo.

That river is an actual river in new Zealand. Like those hills in California, the rocks just have that look.

Weta and wingnut actually put huge effort into these films, their "care levels" were likely as high as they could be, not that it matters.

A lot of The Hobbit being awful is forgivable when you consider Jackson had like no pre-production because the studio wouldn't push back any of the dates when Del Toro dropped out

He was literally making poo poo up on the spot and everyone was rushing to the very last minute just to get things put together, whereas LotR was planned out for like 2 years before filming.

he’s really funny, great sense of wacky humor, e.g. just in mulholland drive there’s the badalamenti/cappuccino scene, the cowboy, the hitman’s botched hit, silencio singer dying……. Lots of good bits

david lynch. the scene where bill pullman comes too fast and his wife gently pats him while whispering "its ok" in slow motion is great storytelling (he kills her a few minutes later)

the one in twin peaks season 3 where the monster comes out of the glass box and kills the two people

Yeah, and then he put it back on throughout production by stress-eating bread and cheese.

King Kong though.. yeah. It wasn't great. I think that was the start of Jackson going all George Lucas and getting more into the technology than the filmmaking
which is probably why he's not making films now
