Hat Thoughts posted:I was gonna put in a disclaimer about how I knew it was a sign of me having bad taste but I thought I might as well stand by my words and deeds I love that art but if you don't like it then I'm curious to know why, just a couple of elements that don't work if you don't mind.

Amazing how it all came out at the same time. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Oct 14, 2016 |

I will say this: I like those paintings a lot, but they aren't as polished as some of Syd Mead's other paintings.   Though he's cheating some of the shadows in the second one and two color paintings like the last one are way easier.

But like, looking at the first one the line my eyes follow are the neon lights & then kinda drift around the buildings/tech and then eventually I guess you get to the people maybe, point being that the emphasis is on the technology/buildings. But the neon's primarily just undefined round shapes and the buildings are just these sort of square monoliths of wires & geometric shapes and none of that is particularly visually interesting 2 me. It's clearly well-done I just get nothing from it.

The manufactured technology dominates, the people are afterthoughts. I can totally see how that is disturbing/bad from both an ideological and compositional angle.

How dou you feel about the other ones I posted, Hat Thoughts? One thing with Syd Mead is his thing is mostly cool futuristic architecture and vehicles, so generally to me it seems like the people are either less important aspects of his paintings or actively a part of the the weird futuristic style he's going for. The neon is unusual, though.

We've made so many hideous, blocky, sterile depictions of the future that a lot of city designers seem to be consciously avoiding it, but at the same time the same old financial/industrial/social pressures still exist. I could easily buy those first two images as future Pittsburgh, for example.

Which I certainly prefer to the alternatives, but you know Duquesne Light is going to be there if one of those trees actually tries to interfere with the infrastructure. It's not exactly what I think of as "nature."

Posting a screenshot of a Zac Sneider film is pointless. The guy's cinematography is always great; should be a DP instead of having the director's chair.

His last several director credits were: BvS (Generally considered mediocre to bad) MoS (Mixed reception; strong praise and strong criticism) Suckerpunch (Widely panned) Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (Generally considered forgettable) His best / most popular movies are all from almost 10 years ago: Watchmen (2009) 300 (2006) Dawn of the Dead (2004) The quality of a Snyder movie is inversely proportional to how much influence he has outside of cinematography.

Suckerpunch is the movie that Snyder had almost 100% creative and script control over. Dawn of the Dead is the film he had almost no role outside of cinematography. Math checks out.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:His last several director credits were: find me a well-written and cogently analyzed movie review about BvS that doesn't distill to "these aren't my Beloved Comic Characters" or "The movie title promised a fight, but they didn't really fight each other." I've only seen BvS, MoS, Guardians, and Watchmen. The owl one was a pretty neat animated flick, Watchmen and MoS were fantastic, same with BvS. Each movie had its issues (I personally think BvS was a little overstuffed), but they are the king of the crop when it comes to modern Superhero cinema adaptations. The thing is that Snyder's DC boot are an experience that rewards a deeper reading. I get that some people don't dig that, and want to watch people punch cars and run fast and that's it. I understand why some people don't find enjoyment out of a more meaningfully put together comic book movie. They're beautiful movies, and their beauty tells a story as well.
