Rise of Skywalker was my last film before covid. For a while I was worried it would be the last movie I ever saw in theater.

It was Sonic for me and while that one was ok, it wasn't what I wanted my last theatre movie ever to be

I am so glad I decided to risk Dune at a good theater. Didn't get Covid, saw an amazing movie.

Madkal posted:BoP was actually one of the better DC movies and it got completely memory holed which is a shame. The action sequences were fun and the characters were great and the actors were clearly having a blast. I will admit I found the Harley stuff a bit grating (gimme a Huntress movie instead) but it really deserves more praise than it gets. And here I thought he was referring to the old BoP TV show from 20 years ago.

I saw Promare then a showing of Stop Making Sense and I was happy to have gone out on top.

Pretty sure the last movie I saw in theaters was Far From Home. We only ever really went for Marvel movies, and with Disney+, we're just content to wait for them to come to streaming and watch them a couple months later. I'm not like, scared to go back to theaters, since we only went for matinee showings during the week, after a movie had been out for a little while, so things were generally pretty empty anyway, but it just ended up so much more convenient to watch stuff at home. Can pause for bathroom breaks, rewind because the terrible sound mixing meant you missed what was said the first time, and you don't have to pay $20 for popcorn and a soda. Besides, the place we used to go went under because of the pandemic and was bought by a different chain, so my rewards became useless.

I still remember to this day the cop character catching Huntress as she was trying to break into a safe or something and asks apropos of nothing "Why don't you carry any weapons?" just so she can do a trailer shot of "I am a weapon." Also it was big in the 'costumes, EW!' phase of supers TV so she basically wore clubwear. 'Who cares if it looks good,' one might rush to ask but I assure, hypothetical goon questioner, it did not.

The theaters around me let you rent the theater for like $200. We just started splitting it with 4 or 5 families and spreadout. Ended up being cheaper than regular movies too.

It's so weird to remember that you used to be able to have an action show where not a single member of the cast can do action and neither can the cinematographer or director

BoP was also my last movie pre-quarantine, which I completely forgot I’d seen until some friends and I were ranking DCEU movies up to Black Adam last year. gninjagnome posted:The theaters around me let you rent the theater for like $200. We just started splitting it with 4 or 5 families and spreadout. Ended up being cheaper than regular movies too. This was such a fun thing while it lasted, my wife rented out a theatre for Clue, one of my all time favorite movies and we had a nice get together with friends to watch it.

Pretty sure cinemas will do this normally, they just probably require more notice when the world isn't shut down. We got the one on campus when I was at university to do a double bill of both Ghostbusters movies once.

The theater here was doing it for 100 during the summer of 2020 I think. They were on the verge of bankruptcy before covid though.

Soon we won't need any pesky people, who would demand wages for their labor, to create art.

There's a studio credited for the intro (who have worked on a lot of other high-profile shows) so it's unclear how much is an artistic choice and how much is a financial one.

Yeah this really just feels like an artistic choice to trade on the uncanny valley effect and unsettling nature of AI art. In a series about not being able to trust what you are seeing and hearing and always being on edge, not knowing if who you see is actually real. As far as the AI use in general, it just largely comes down to how ethical the datasets the company is using are. Which who knows.

If only there was some ethically sound way to create unsettling and alien looking art Perhaps by paying some sort of creative professionals with monetary compensation

The first ep of Secret Invasion was good. I know the title sequence is so exciting to chat about, but the show itself was good. I like that Fury is pretending to be fat and physically broken or at least I assume he is.

I'm not gonna argue that it looks good (I mean, maybe compared to complete garbage?) but a distinction should be drawn between people who use AI to rip artists off and artists who use AI to make kinda dubious art like the way game devs in the 00s used lens flare and grimy color palettes

It was...okay, I guess? Wasn't bad at all but it didn't particularly hook me either. Ngl I thought bringing Hill in just to kill her off for a "this is serious" stinger was unnecessary tho

Seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" reality for the MCU. Either they're generic CGI mashups or they take themselves too seriously. It's like the "Say the line, Bart" episode of The Simpsons but with the Guardians movies.

[*monkey's paw curls*] oh well, if Secret Invasion doesn't improve, then maybe Daredevil: BA will manage to thread that needle better. we can always hope

It feels like a boomer show, like that new Kiefer Sutherland one. If it didn't require so much backstory, I'd recommend it to my old parents.
