In the first gif, is his right foot attached to the platform or something? that's nuts.

It's a spin on an old yogi trick - there's a metal pole running up the back of his right pantleg that is hinged at the knee to allow him to bend forward and attaches to a firm seat - when he leans back the hinge locks into place, and his weight is supported on the hidden seat part.

gently caress, what's the proper usage there?

Subjunctive it's were, but was is accepted as correct because nobody gives a poo poo about subjunctive.

I remember my horror when the transformers cartoon dvds first came out and my friends and I couldn't get through a single episode because they were so lovely and boring.

My friend got the He-Man set and we found them quite watchable due to how camp they were, and they reused cels so often that it became almost a game to guess which of the only three ways He-Man had of entering a scene he would use next.

Brutally functional interfaces like that hold up a lot better cinematically than ones where people stand in front of some magical projection waving their hands like idiots to zoom pictures that somehow activate other programs and do stuff without any further interaction.

Forty years later and the interiors of our planes, shuttles, and international space stations are still broadly switches and buttons with tiny labels (they are not unlabeled in Alien). They're not voice-activated or motion-tracked or anything like that because they are still massively inefficient ways to interact with computers. Sure sitting at a desk and typing commands like "What's the story mother?" into a glowing green interface looks anachronistic and strange rather than clicking on a desktop icon to load Nostromo Search and typing it there, but it's instantly relatable and grounding in a film.

The technology used in a film creates a context for the world - Alien is considerably low tech. You instinctively understand that technology will not solve the conflicts its characters face. Compare it to Star Trek, where everything is touch-screen or voice-activated: technology solves the overwhelming number of conflicts characters run into. Star Trek is a different world. Alien is our world in the future. The choices of interfaces fundamentally convey that idea. Star Wars is the same: it's a movie filled with laser swords, literal magic, and fantastic beasts but it's grounded by the fact that those laser swords have knobs, the Millennium Falcon is filled with unlabeled switches, and the X-Wing requires a whole bunch of fiddly bits and bobs just to get a HUD activated, with the most futuristic the interfaces get is R2D2 sticking his robot dick in a computer.

I'm confident predicting that in another forty years we will still be building high technology things like planes and spaceships with switches, knobs, and tiny labels, and terminal interfaces; with absolutely nobody having ever done databasing through standing in a room doing loving flag semaphores at a holographic screen.

Anyway to make that an iphone wallpaper?

Also, dumb question but why when I upload a gif to imgur does it always convert it to web video? Also, why doesn't it have the options like before that has different imbed links?

Any gif over a certain size (5? 10? meg) will be converted to video to save bandwidth for mobile devices.

I kinda didn't want to say anything because people posting content can do what the fuckever they want, but literally 67x the size and lower quality is a bit much

The worst thing is it was already on imgur on the same url. Same:

3mb

350kb

GIF is still useful in some places, but c'mon. The future is better

In that particular case the quality of the gif shits all over the gifv and 3mb is not a huge ask.

That bothered me the most too, it's a really sudden jerk when the car parts split ways, it's super jarring and awkward.

I mean there's a lot else there, but yeah, that's bad. I get it, they wanted her to cut a car in half, that'd cool, but the execution is just so bad.

Mine was that apparently she's cutting it in half while upside down and facing away from it.

mmmfffff yes more shaky cam and half second camera cuts yeah that's a great way to watch an action scene

It's a good way to get across the chaos and moment-to-moment of a fight, which is why it's always the best decision when it's a character who's supposed to be in control of the situation.

Inzombiac posted:

She's doing a front flip, overhead swing.

Yes, which is why she should be facing down, not directly away, when she completes it.

Flipping over in a harness then being poorly composited into a digital scene is not a stunt.
