The latest episode of that movie cg explained channel talked about how the behind the scenes footage will nowadays cg out the green screens to make a movie seem like it was shot more practically than it actually was. And I'm not ashamed to admit that even my cynicism did not extend that far.

Have big budget movies gotten worse over the last ten years or so (including the marvel collapse and pandemic years)? No, it must be the audiences and a C-list youtuber who are responsible.

Just saw Dune pt. 2. Not sure I liked it tbqh, but it's worth it for the visuals alone. Also, if you close your eyes, Tim Chal sounds a lot like Nicolas Cage on some lines.

No, it must be the audiences and a C-list youtuber who are responsible. Did you see the bit where I specifically and in detail said that modern movies are way shittier? I'm talking about the audience relationship with art as a whole. Going back to that Jurassic Park example: Virtually no one noticed there was no cliff, the majority of people who did notice didn't care, and anyone who did notice and did care got told the only appropriate response: "shut the gently caress up, nerd". It took twenty years for it to become a "problem", to become a punchline, and all the rest of that poo poo. People aren't just combative and holier than thou with Madame Webb, they're combative and holier than thou with actual movies too. How many tweets get posted in here of people trying to do sick burns on poo poo like Starship troopers when it's clear they didn't understand the movie on a fundamental level? That's the poo poo I'm talking about, and that's the poo poo that moron execs are scared of. Whether you like it or not, c list youtubers actively effect how and which movies get made and it's dumb as gently caress.

It feels like there is more of them, but that could just be a memory thing. But a lot of big budget blockbusters were always pretty terrible. Often enjoyable trash like say conair or commando, but what's "enjoyable trash" and whats dull, boring trash is obviosly going to be very subjective.

I’ll agree in part about the magic being diminished by overexposure. It used to be you’d see the trailer for a movie, then you’d see the movie, then you’d get the movie on vhs/dvd. Now I hear it’s in the works, casting news (x10), shooting has begun, reshoots have been scheduled, teaser, longer teaser, teaser trailer, theatrical trailer, early reviews, I see the movie, discourse hell, hulu, forgotten forever. Obviously this is all self inflicted because I could just not follow entertainment news, but still

I wonder how a C- grade stinker like Dante’s Peak or something would be eviscerated today. Instead of just like in the 90s when everyone saw it, shrugged, and just lived with a dozen VHS tapes of it on every K-Mart escape for the next five years.

Volcano is the one where the firefighter cant jump far enough to escape the lava, right? I think that was my first time ever thinking about radiant heat from lava never being a thing in media which is the exact sort of soul crushingly boring thing a disaster film is supposed to distract you from thinking

Kingo Ligma posted:but can you honestly not see a change in how people relate to art and movies in particular over the last decade or two? No and that's also the first and last I'll think about it for the rest of my life. Most normal people are never watching whatever lovely videos you're talking about and that certainly aren't emulating on how they feel about whatever they saw. Your post is describing some bizarre world where the worst comment section on YouTube somehow became representative of the masses. In the last X years there have been more channels and junk going into movies in stupid and annoying ways but that's a problem for the scrubs who watched videos of other idiots giving media opinions. Just don't be that and whatever you were describing doesn't even exist anymore.

I meant to see the noon showing of Dune 2 but the theater doors were locked when I showed up so I wandered off to drink a beer and have a cheeseburger and never came back. My ability to sustain interest in even the least objectionable sound big budget movies is just barely hanging in there, it’s nuts.

CGI went too far when they removed all the dots the actors stood on. When they edit out the black sheets of paper is the moment cinema will die.

This is kind of bullshit, people absolutely knew, it was the kind of thing that I'd see mentioned on TV and magazines as a continuity blunder for years and years, and its not surprising because continuity really is a thing that productions pay attention to by and large, there's a whole job dedicated to this that was invented almost as soon as basic editing. The Jurassic Park cliff is basically one of the most high profile breaks in continuity that most people can point to, so high profile that it wasn't actually a mistake, Spielberg just did it because he decided that the sacrifice in verisimilitude was worth it for the extra drama added, he was probably right, but its the kind of call that showed how good a director he was that he could see when he knew he could break the rules and get away with it.

I never knew there was some cliff problem so I looked it up and yeah huh that’s weird that there’s a cliff there! Really big props to the movie for being confident enough to just allow such an inconsistency but just saying “people will go with it, they’re already having fun” It fuckin worked since I saw that movie a hundred times and never once questioned it
