NorgLyle posted:I would very much like movies (and especially tv shows) to have their budgets drastically slashed and for filmmakers to have to go back to figuring out how to do things they want cheaply but effectively and not just vomiting hundreds of millions of dollars of CGI work hours onto the screen. I really think studios should hire some up and coming directors to film the script with a total budget of $1 million first just to work out the kinks and figure out how to manage a story with very little vfx, then spend the 200 million or whatever on the high budget celebrity actor extravaganza, saving money and improving quality because they already know where they're going. As a plus side this would mean every major film would have a low budget knockoff produced alongside it.

Gripweed posted:I still think the best idea for a sequel is that it takes place at a Ghostbusters franchise location. The only time you see any of the old guys is Bill Murray in an anti-union video they have to watch as part of employee training. Not a franchise, make them underemployed millennials gig-working the Bustr app. Bill Murray as the rear end in a top hat CEO whose mistreatment of his workers and lax attitude towards safety causes a massive spectral event, largely due to there being Too Many Ghostbusters.

Kingo Ligma posted:No, it's that the job of removing those was done by hand, directly on film, which is not feasible because we no longer shoot on film, and as a result there's no one with those skills left. The act if the paint out wasn't invented with computers, numb nuts. It's called a paint out because people used to literally paint out reflections, wire, license plates, etc etc. some people treat 'computer generated imagery' as referring to '3d renders' since that's what it sounds like on the face of it

Baronjutter posted:Everyone seems to be talking about Starship Troopers suddenly on the internet. I've been seeing some wild poo poo including: The humanities department at my university regularly had various professors from the faculty fellows give talks with free refreshments One of them was about how starship troopers wasn't a parody because it didn't wink to the camera. Which was about as good as the one that explained that children who thought their parents were hypocrites just didn't understand their parents, because the views they listed their parents as having didn't match their parents' actual* views. *self-reported

Just...don't watch his videos, don't reply to him, or just ignore him and then dang you don't even gota scroll past his post because it becomes a tiny-rear end line and you can instead read everyone else going "abloobaloo a person I don't like posted a thing I don't like" How about you just scroll past the posts you don't like and stop complaining about them?

I watched mission impossible 2 recently and thought 'oh wow this is a fun breezy movie, starts in-media res in a heist like normal MI movies, doesn't overexplain things, really short runtime, I wonder why it has such negative reviews?' turns out several years back I had previously watched it partway through, abandoned it for being bad, but amazon remembered where I left off Tunicate fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Arc Hammer posted:It absolutely is but there's pretty obvious shortcomings like every scene needing to be on a flat surface since changes in elevation make the Volume harder to set up. It's a tool like anything else, but like anything CGI, it's all too easy to abuse and be lazy. Even before they were using The Volume it started becoming super noticsble that lazy greenscreen action scenes were video game flat arenas surrounded by noninteractive background elements
