I was born in 89 but a lot of the media i consumed as a child was 80s media because i had a family of poors so this was right up my alley.

It wasn't really nostalgic though, like i definitely saw the influences but it's good on its own merits, not just good for being a nearly perfect homage to spielberg, king, and john carpenter.

CGI monster was whatever, not great but I can give it a pass because it was a pretty rad boss. But whenever they showed the CGI goo rift I was like, nah you could easily have done that practical and it would have looked 10000 times better.

the monster was mostly practical effects lol

Yeah whatever cool 80s thing it had going, the CGI goop totally ruined it for me.

edit: especially when they have a scene where they talk about how the practical effects in The Thing were done.

quote:

Fortunately, Spectral Motion is another company that built a lot of monsters for Guillermo. They built our monster and they’re really great. They have an amazing robotic engineer who built the head — we call them petals, the pieces that open up when it needs to feed. Those were completely animatronic, programmed in a way that they moved in random patterns, which made them feel very organic and alive. There were times we couldn’t do what we needed to do with a guy in a suit and then we turned to computer graphics. Fortunately, Aaron also had a vfx company. He cared so much, the monster was his baby. He and his team did a really great job bringing it to life on a really tight television schedule.

congrats on not knowing what ya talking about.

I don't give a flying gently caress what they say, I am looking at a clip of it again right now and this thing has a 90's rear end CGI look to it and it absolutely looks like it was added to the scene in post.

i think you just want to whine about cgi in lieu of real complaints.

To be clear, it was the goop that spoiled it for me, not the monster.
It wasn't just that it was CGI goop, but low budget, poorly rendered, obviously CGI goop that would have looked better done with cornflour, water, food colouring and string. The monster was fine.

oh yeah i guess, i didn't notice the cgi goop but if it bothered you thats fair

bitching about cgi when there was demonstrably less cgi than practical effects makes you seem like a tool and its worth discussing fuckboy

The Sandlot was like a bible for every sick burn and jab you could make without getting ejected in little league.

They need to make season 2 Stranger Things: Spooky Baseball Field some malevolent force forcing kids to play baseball with a really rare autographed ball and every time they hit a homerun or commit an error tuliphead appears and screams you're killing me smalls before consuming them

child stars still get chewn up and spit out by hollywood. adults have a hard time dealing with fame and child stars don't deal with it at all. See nearly every product of disney and nickelodeon for the last 15 years.
