no, it's all film. it alternates between letterbox and full screen. but there's no rhyme or reason to it.

i went in with my expectations set to high, I thought oppenheimer was a 2/5 at best. technically very good and good performances but the script tried to cram a trilogy’s worth of content in three hours. everything after the bomb went of was a big snooze fest too, scouring of the shire-rear end ending

Mr. Crow posted:watched barbie, it was fine same weirdly, the few jokes that I had seen in the trailer, which seemed awful, were much better in the movie. the timing wasn’t as bad the dance number with ryan gosling was so good. he was the star of the show imo

watching through black mirror season 6 and man "beyond the sea" was disappointing, probably the first black mirror i've found to be completely predictable. good acting, directing and set design as usual though we skipped "loch henry" for now because i thought "beyond the sea" seemed like it might be more interesting. oops anyway i thought "joan is awful" was very good though e: but drat, what i've read about the rest of the season isn't really making me enthusiastic to watch the rest Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Aug 6, 2023 |

the musical snw episode wasn't as bad as i feared. do not take that to mean that it was good, however. it wasn't even worth the 45 minutes it took to watch. in a few years when i'm rewatching the season, i'll skip it. but at the end of the day, "not that bad, fine i guess" is still a pretty good outcome.

the prequels are extremely loving bad. the only thing they have going for them is that theres one person to blame for them being bad which is more fun than the modern bad-by-committee that is nu-wars

the action sequences are fine. good, even, sometimes the politics scenes are pretty short the drama is all very, very bad, and in particular everything with anakin or padme is excruciating. just negative charisma with both each other and the audience

the prequels have loving soap opera quality dialogue, the plot advances are all people just walking and talking, the action scenes are dumb over-complicated messes made by people who think 10x more effects make a scene 10x better, and half the key battles are won by accident (anakin pressing random buttons, jar jar slapstick bs, etc) the pod race in ep1 is the only non-poo poo part, and it's twice as long as it should be and does almost nothing to actually advance the plot

The prequels are just so bad. I'm not sure making prequels about anakin becoming darth vader was necessarily a great idea for sequels to star wars in terms of genre, but nonetheless, given that premise it should absolutely should have been possible to make anakin an interesting character and the movies fundamentally fail at that, and that's literally the entire point of the prequel trilogy so without him being interesting there's just no reason to make them They either needed to make anakin extremely charismatic or have the movies 90% focus on new characters with anakin's arc happening mostly in the background, but just having him appear almost as some sort of inert object that's being carted from scene to scene just doesn't work mystes fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Aug 7, 2023 |

the prequels are fine but ultimately forgettable. the cgi work was really good for the time (might even still be good by today's standards? haven't watched them recently to tell) they're really proto-Marvel films, quippy protagonists and all
