Was it this guy? feedmyleg posted:If anyone here is interested in roleplaying games, or really just Jurassic Park lore, I made a pretty extensive and elaborate tabletop roleplaying game called Jurassic Park: Edge of Chaos that I just put up on itch.io. I think it's just as much fun as a lore compendium as it is a game. Much like the Telltale game, it takes place during the events of the first movie and acts as a player-driven remix of the events of June 11, 1993.

A lot of people worked on this film. One person, according to someone who saw it in the horror thread, who was an artist decided to use AI. So if that artist chose to use Ai then they didn’t not hire someone, someone just was ignorant. Call the directors stupid and the artist stupid but saying we need to hurl this film to the bottom of a pit and never speak of it again thus hurting the artists that did work hard on it honestly and for very little money is really bad. This movie isn’t Disney or Starbucks. These people didn’t get a huge payout bruh

Thanks ok that works!" i dont like their excuse. But i don't support throwing out the entire movie.

What does it mean to “demonize” people here? How is it not already being talked about? This project was made by stealing people’s labor and the process will become normalized by it enabling more and bigger productions to do the same thing. Maybe you shouldn’t reward that with your money.

And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can't tell you. But we're gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don't have to wait for certain actors." lmao

The pirates movies were much liked for all their comedy, fast pass and all the fun fantasy stuff chucked in there as well. Watch as the reboot goes the dull 'serious' route and is boring as hell.

Disney spent like $250 mil+ on their Disney+ Marvel show Secret Invasion, and there is very little VFX. Apparently the reason for that high cost is that they had to redo a bunch of VFX which cost them even more money.

They seem to really love their reshoots over there, sort of makes them come across as wasteful and thoughtless, or perhaps just weirdly cowardly.

Seems producers have learnt that if you have it so the director shoots most of the shoot being green you can just ask the VFX people to gently caress around how ever you feel like on a whim.  Can even do the lighting and everything in post as well, so just shot everything very uniformly lit, it will make it easier for the vfx people to gently caress around with everything in post as well!

live with fruit posted:These two notes together make me wonder when they're going to drag Smith back to MIB after that reboot flopped. I thought the second one was incredibly boring and forgettable. Is it worth a rewatch? I actually really enjoyed the third one. Brolin did a good Tommy Lee Jones and I thought they wrapped it up well. I watched it again a couple years ago with my wife, who'd never seen it, and it felt like a direct sequel to the original that pretends the second movie never happened. I'd completely forgotten they did a reboot until your post. I remember the trailer looking awful.

I would like a good pirate movie again. Which we unfortunately haven’t had since the first POTC 21 years ago. Common wisdom is that movies about pirates lose an assload of money, after a couple of high profile flops in the 80s and 90s. Which was true until POTC came out in 2003. Even the lovely later ones made a ton of money. But Depp was absolutely sleepwalking through the last one and has substance abuse issues that make him almost completely unreliable at this point. The general movie going audience isn’t going to give a poo poo but Curse of the Black Pearl takes place somewhere around 1730, well after the Golden Age or Piracy was over, and the last movie has a 20ish year time skip. So it takes place around 1750. Rebooting gets them away from that. I cut On Stranger Tides a lot of slack when it came out because I hated parts 2 & 3, and love the novel it’s very loosely based on. But last year I reread the novel and had a great time. So then I watched the movie again and hated it. It’s as bad as all the other sequels. Now, Cutthroat Island can be pretty fun if you can grit your teeth through the awful dialogue.

The Saddest Rhino posted:He really thought winning that trial was gonna engineer his victorious return to stardom The funny part is that if you read the actual conclusion of the trial, it's 'yeah, he did that poo poo, but also she shouldn't have talked about it, give him money, Amber' it wasn't an exoneration in the slightest, it was the result you only get with rich people lawyers. The only people for whom it was were already convinced by the sheer fact that he's johnny depp. Depp brought looks, a universal appeal and a fair bit of talent. With his looks going very quickly and suddenly, a whole bunch of controversy on his name and, apparently, consistent unprofessionalism (showing up drunk or hungover, not knowing his lines and so on) he really doesn't bring that much to the table except that sense that, if he tries, he can turn in a good performance, probably. The conditional hasn't been tested in a while. Casimir Radon posted:I would like a good pirate movie again. Which we unfortunately haven’t had since the first POTC 21 years ago.

We did get a good pirate TV show in that time. If you haven't watched Black Sails, make that a priority.

I never quite realised the implication of the fact that they hadn't even decided what kind of gun he'd be carrying. There's that story from the second season of Westworld, where they shot a sequence of two characters who were enemies riding next to each other. The actors asked 'what...why?' the response was a shrug and a 'who knows? we might need it' Is that just how the MCU gets made now?

All the fights are two hovering figures shooting lasers until one falls over that are modelled years in advance and inserted as needed, the characters painted over the models.
