It's absolutely wild that a movie from the 60's has better looking visual effects than a lot of the poo poo that is made today.

CGI pretty much made action sequence and action movies worse, probably a lot worse.

old movies rock having the benefit of decades of hindsight and a huge, diverse library to choose from, i dont know why anyone with sense would just keep mainlining the algorithm of crap

dreezy posted:old movies rock New movies rock too. It's hard to explain why things feel different now, but I think it's basically that there's no movie magic anymore? When you can do literally anything with computers, you lose that sense of wonder and being blown away by seeing something on a big screen. Nolan, Villeneuve, and Tom fuckin Cruise are the only ones I can think of that are even trying to do that anymore. edit: Related to that is the fact there's no movie stars anymore. It's all about that IP, baby. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Mar 17, 2024 |

dreezy posted:old movies rock Old movies are also neat for seeing something embedding the worldview of the time when it was made. Citizen Kane for example was 1941, that movie was made during world war 2, they have no idea the world to come, or if there would even be one. M was shot during the Weimar Republic, before the Nazi party was even a thing, before WW2, before computers existed, before transistors existed. Just a completely different time, with however the filmmakers thought of the world around them frozen in time in the movie a hundred years later.

Two completely unrelated thoughts: Re watching movies being different now. Been thinking about this a lot and it is literally because there's no magic anymore. And I don't mean because of CG etc, but as a direct result of YouTube/podcasts (ie it's Stoklasa's fuckin fault). There's a huge, huge industry which is literally just explaining the magic trick for every type of art. At best it's something like Nerdwriter which lovingly deconstructs exactly how and why the magician cut the lady in half, the technical feats involved, the intended emotional response built into the theatrics etc. At worst it's cinema sins poo poo which is just a clapping seal yelling "haha you were thrilled when the magician cut the woman in half but she's not even dead you loving Idiot!!!!" I think both are detrimental though. More Dune thoughts: It's pretty wild that this massive populist sci fi epic has the Taliban as the good guys, capital as the villains, and the main character's super power is literally just multi culturalism. It also spends half it's run time making GBS threads on religion. An American could never have made this.

Does Dan Aykroyd always play straight guy against other SNL cast? Does he play cunning scammer in any comedy?

the year was 2009, and hackers film 1995 was of the mind that any movie made before the 60s (arguably late 50s) aint worth poo poo. but a viewing of citizen kane changed all that because it was fuckin dazzling. remove the bird jump scare and its nearly perfect. also i watched metropolis a few years later and it fuckin owned

I haven't seen Citizen Kane in totality, but I took a film class where the professor ran down like 40 loving things that were invented in that movie. Like he'd show a 2 second clip and be like "This is the first time this ever happened in a movie. They had to engineer a new type of camera and lens to get this 2-second shot" and it would be something you've seen a million times since then. So I think watching it you'd probably be bored because people have been copying the techniques for 80 years, but watching it in 1941 you probably would have had your mind blown.

Fun fact!: As the cane was made from candy they need to make dozens of them as they kept melting under the hot studio lights and constantly needed to be replaced. This is why you can also see lots of ants crawling all over the sets if you look closely.
