Asterite34 posted:Didn't Finding Nemo more or less perfect shooting CG stuff that looks like it's properly underwater? What, where all those guys busy? Couldn't email over some notes or something? Anything? The default job of VFX artists is to make something look realistic - usually when something deviates drastically from realism it's because either the director wanted it to look a certain way (because reality is too unimpressive or ugly), or because the live-action elements were filmed in a way that doesn't support realism. For this movie, I'd guess the latter. Human skin secretes oils which makes it shiny, but because that shininess comes from skin being slightly wet, it disappears when people are fully submerged underwater. But because they didn't actually film the actress performing underwater, she's still got a natural human-skin sheen. So when it came time to put her in the environment, it looks like they had to make her immediate surroundings look less water-like so that specular sheen wouldn't be as out of place. With something like Finding Nemo and Avatar, you don't have to worry about that as much because all the characters are either CG and don't have integration problems, or are actually filmed underwater because they're not also singing.

Really dumb, just crazy stupid type of movie, but the kind that is fun for stupids to watch. The older couple next to me kept being shocked at each twist and talking to each other in delight. "Wow what a great movie!!" they said at the end.

So many dogshit people had such a visceral negative reaction to the announcement of this movie that it actually pains me to say that that clip looks like absolute rear end. The CG just looks really bad, and clashes with the live actress it's passing over or behind. Ouch!

It’ll all get blamed on diversity, rather than them making an unimaginative rehash with a bunch of technical problems.

The Disney remakes are pretty much 'minimum viable product' and make bank mostly from nostalgia bucks. Even if the people watching them never think about them again, Disney has their money.

dr_rat posted:This is just because demons, Aliens, and Ghosts like messing with people when they have sleep paralysis obviously. This is actually what Jehovah's Witnesses literally believe. I once had elders from my congregation explain to me, that not only are demons very real (and give examples of real life demon things that hosed me up for a long time; weird that when a trusted authority figure abuses that position of trust to spread false information to a trusting and sensitive kid, the results are bad). They also explained to me that things like schizophrenia and other severe mental disorders are actually things demons do to humans, because they like to torment us. Sleep paralysis also isn't real, and it's just demons paralyzing you while they torment you. And also ghost sightings, aliens and drat near every other hot topic of the day.

He could not stop talking about how cool Lion King was after they saw it. He's not even a huge Disney guy at all. He n his wife for whatever reason, just really enjoy these remakes and take their kids each time. It's weird to me but they are clearly not alone.

Do any of the live-action remakes... not necessarily improve on the original, but do anything interesting or innovative with them instead of just adding a ton of CGI? I guess maybe The Jungle Book, but I also admittedly don't really remember the original that well.

From what I gather, they tend to make some characters hornier, and occasionally gayer but in a way where it's easily ignored/edited out for foreign markets.

I enjoy the live action remakes mostly for the costume design. I think it's just fun to see the animated characters that I grew up with translated to live action in that stylized way.

Jungle Book was just the original with a little added violence. The only thing I remember really liking was Christopher Walken performing King Louie's song and cutting Scarlet Johansson's song to save money but still including it in the credits.

to be honest these live action remakes look about the same as a lot of these outright hideous MCU movies and those have plenty of defenders on this very forum and those do okay moneywise too so I, like, "get" if even if I have zero desire to watch myself.

The Mulan movie systemically removed every bit of comedy and whimsy I guess because foreign movies don't have those, but looking at the numbers, it seems to have lost a lot of money. 200 million budget and 70 million box office seems...bad.
