More a TV thing but I've been rewatching Series 1 of the Dr Who revival, the 2005 one, and am noticing a lot of foreshadowing for the season finale where Rose becomes the omnipotent Bad Wolf, because she's got a very philosophical view of time travel and what it means (in the year 5 billion she fixates on the fact that her mother's been dead for 5 billion years, and in the third episode she thinks of 1860 Christmas in terms of "It only happens once, and then it's gone, but you can see it whenever you want..."). There's the obvious stuff too that the series became infamous for overall, but that aspect is interesting.

I’ve been on a kick for 80s movies lately (the 2nd best decade) and I don’t think movies from any other period show how dirty and grimy big cities are like 80s movies. It’s almost comforting in a way how squalid all big cities look in films from that era

The French Connection, Dirty Harry, The Exorcist, Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver… all grimy as gently caress.

Yeah I kinda did a double take with that statement. 80s honestly felt like they leaned super hard on the conservative reaction of cities whereas I think the best 70s movies were just trying to show them as they were. With a few exceptions though being fair, they did do the same in the 70s too of course, death wish probably beind the best example but they really started flooding the market with them in the 80s it seems in retrospect.

Yeah, I consider the grime that is found in 80s films to be a continuation (or hang-over) of the 70s rampant filth and sleaze. But I think I get what you're talking about, oldpainless. There's an appeal to that kind of highly textured environment and how it can fit the story and vibes.

The 90s was when all those cities tried to clean themselves up and wanted to project a new image.

Where the gently caress are all the clapped out rust bucket cars? Where's the discarded crap littering the curbs and boulevards and alleys? Ain't so much as a single windblown sheet of newspapper. I actually don't remember if the first season of Stranger Things was good about this or if I was just shocked that they portrayed the Brown Wood Panelled 80s at all.

Movies set in the 80's rarely have the everpresent haze of cigarette smoke that was in every room that had more than five people in it

Also in the eighties is when NYC began refusing permission to film within the subway system if the production planned on showing the graffiti. By the early nineties the problem had pretty much disappeared (at least on the trains) so they didn't need to bother anymore.

Movie shot in the 80s: protagonist drives a beat to poo poo '65 GTO kept alive through hope and beating the starter with a wrench Movie set in the 80s: protagonist drives the most immaculate Ford Tempo ever seen, like they weren't that good even in the actual 80s

In the 70s cities were used as settings in a more matter-of-fact way because the characters inhabited the city, and that was the story being told in that particular movie so they shot it in the city. The 80s had grimy cities but it was a lot of artificial grime, i.e. Jason Takes Manhattan where apparently the alleyways in NY just have buckets of toxic waste sitting around in them(and most scenes weren't even shot in NY). Or The Death Wish sequels where everything in the city is artificially intensified so that Bronson has some monsters to slay. There was an extra layer of production added to how cities were presented in the 80s because they were usually meant to be terrifying places where only the rugged hero could possibly hope to survive. Everything had to look like Escape from New York.

Jason Takes Manhattan has exactly two scenes actually shot in NYC and they're both in Times Square. The rest of the city scenes were shot in Vancouver, including the subway train which has some of the most polite fake graffiti I've ever seen.

I can't stand how fuckin dark some 60s and 70s movies are. I watched Marathon Man recently. It features a dude running in the early morning hours and MAN are these ever the early-morning-hours because you can't fuckin see anything. Shapes in the darkness talking. I get it, it's early, the sun isn't up yet, but I'd still like to see the movie.

I imagine Canadian graffiti something like "may the rival sports team not do as good as ours!" Or "your mom's poutine; It's not as good as mine, but it's still pretty good." One thing that watching older movies has taught me is that cell phone solve so many problems. That's probably why modern horror movies have to rely on no signal to fully isolate the characters.

Yeah I'm not sure whats worse, modern night shots where it was clearly shot in broad daylight and color graded blue, or actual night with minimal lighting so its black shadow talking to slightly darker black shadow.

I dunno how people in the 70s felt about it but as someone watching movies in the 2020s I really enjoy seeing older movies where there are deep shadows and natural looking night scenes, even at the expense of being able to see everything that's going on. Anything that tells my brain that I'm not watching something created 100% digitally is good as far as I'm concerned.

She was wearing a 70s jacket that she probably got given by her mother. So many period pieces will be set in 1980 and go out and dress everyone like they bought all their clothes in 1980. That's not how things work! There should be lots of stuff still around from previous decades.

Random rear end note from Spider-Man: No Way Home, that the one supervillain MCU Peter is able to fix on his own without help from the other Spider-Men is Doc Ock. And it makes sense- MCU Peter has been basically Tony Stark's apprentice, and spent his appearances working with Stark's technology, even kinda jailbreaking his own suit, demonstrating the character's scientific prowess with this version specialising more in electronics and engineering. And that Doc Ock is basically a malfunctioning cyborg, with tech that while bleeding edge in his own time and universe, probably, is probably far less sophisticated than what Peter's been using (beside the dumpster diving he's been doing before). Of course Peter's able to stabilise him easily enough once he has the right tools, it's a problem that plays to his strengths.

I like how Gotham plays with it, as the whole thing is a grab bag on technologies and fashions from between the 1950s and 2000s, but Oswald Cobblepot still stands out because he's wearing a suit that's from the 1800s because of it being a hand me down from his grandfather, so even in that melting pot he's noticeably out of date.

I just watched Full Contact, a sleazy Ringo Lam joint from 1992 where Chow Yun Fat does crimes in Bangkok and Hong Kong, most of which are at night or in dark nightclubs and you can tell exactly what is going on plus there is marvelous use of shadow to hide/reveal detail cause THEY LIGHT IT RIGHT.

Then again there are people like Nicolas Winding Refn these days who lights scenes as if he's got a deep seated personal vendetta with the idea of realism.
