Hot take for the possibility of young Mike, Will, and Jonathan flashbacks.

Please please PLEASE do not do the cgi thing again. We had a young Max in a scene and it was fine. We had that young Eleven with the young Kali in season 2 and that was fine. It’s suspension of disbelief. I get it for any flashbacks of 12 year old Will because we saw him on screen before but PLEASE just let them be little kids that look like them I’m begging. I’m so sorry but I hate the cgi El😭

#stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #jonathan byers #st5 spoilers #sort of?#like I get it #we probably wouldn’t have been able to distinguish her from the other kids without it #but like #idk #I prefer just having a kid that looks similar #not everything has to be cgi #byler #miwi #byers brothers

I wrote this about get back long before we saw get back:

I feel like he's been kicking himself for the missed opportunity ever since... until suddenly now redemption ❤️

#I thought we were better at cgi than we maybe are #but I love the thing #still no cartoon foxes #but you can't have everything #I feel like fandom can make ourselves a soul destroying moving songvid of great meaning #whenever we want #but stripper!george haunting Paul #we def needed help with that #I wish there had been better varieties of Beatle #and I wish... LOTS OF THINGS OBVIOUSLY #but generally maybe it's okay to give beatles the least emotional sendoff a life changing band of LOVE has ever had??????#yeah #the beatles

i was going to make a post telling yall to stop calling godzilla minus one a low-budget film (because it isn't) but then i remembered disney regularly drops 12 million for ONE EPISODE of their shows without nearly the same cultural impact so. yeah godzilla is low-budget as far as i'm concerned idc

#uhhhh me #film budget is such an interesting thing to think abt #for those curious: godzilla had a budget of 10 million #which seems like a lot until you compare it to an average hollywood action movie which is like. 100 million easy #incidentally that is oppenheimer's budget!#so seeing that you go wow! why the discrepency?#as far as i can figure. american movies go for the big mass appeal so they'll out more money into international releases etc #whereas japanese films only rly care about domestic release so they save a stupid amount of money there #(i'm sure there's more to this and i have my theories but i don't have hard data rn to back it up so i won't say it)#so anyway. 10 mil is a very modest budget by hollywood standards but by japan standards it's above average actually #oh yeah the other thing about budgets i always come back to #is the fact the percy jackson show had 12 million per episode #but did not look or feel nearly as good as shadow and bone which had average 4 mil per episode. literally a third what percy had #the allegiant movie had an estimated ~120 mill budget and somehow was worse in every single way than the scorch trials movie #which had 61 mil. HALF what allegiant had and yet literally everything about it was more pleasing #one of my fave sci-fi films prospect has less than 4 mil budget and yes you could tell the cgi was unreal sometimes #it was done in a way that looked artistic instead of cheap and glossy #and i would watch that over whatever new movie the mcu pops out with like. 200 mil budget that somehow looks uglier-#-than a movie on 4 mil #oh my god what in the fucking world. antman 3 had 300 million. whomst.#and the movie didn't even look good? the audacity #7 times prospect's budget and looks like shit #anyway. budget is a weird thing #it rly comes down to who's handling the project and how smartly they use that money #oh ya the other thing i was gonna say is i do think there's a difference between 'low budget film' and 'film with a lower budget'#i think godzilla is a lower budget film (comparatively to hollywood) but not a low budget film. if you catch my drift.

Lmao as a non-avatar enjoyer i checked out the trailer and that shot of the lava island 🙂🙂 I feel like if they wanted to re-adapt the series they could just animate the show in the superior animation style of korra (like they tried with sailor moon but lmao. Emphasis on tried) and I’d probably tune in but this half baked cgi 🥴

Right??? If they really really thought ATLA needed an update for the new generation (which it really does not but let's imagine only perfect faultless animation is allowed in the 20s) they literally had the best studio to re animate it already on their payroll. High fantasy ALWAYS looks better animated and that goes TWICE AS HARD for kids' shows which already require lots of suspension of disbelief. I can't believe I see that stupid burned forest scene all over my social media with ppl yelling how good it looks DO YOU HAVE EYES IT LOOKS LIKE AN UGLY BLOB OF CGI

#liridi #eernask #eernask talk atla #and it is not like perfect cgi is the only way to achieve what you want!!#asoue netflix has super charming non realistic cgi #but atla???? that needs to be belieavable bc otherwise everything looks the worsf #like sorry but i went to check out the 2010 movie and. sorry the environments and the cgi looks miles better than this #even the costume colors. there is a village woth orange costumes that feel like they belong (hint at aangs horrible netflix outfit)#just. why did this have to happen

Night Wolf dir. Jonathan Glendening

#av posts #peter gadiot #night wolf #as promised (and dared!)#scaring the hoes with images from 2010 #this movie had everything #bad cgi #siblings that hated each other for no reason #a spoiled little rich boy who hated his mom and had a like #unhealthy fixation with his older sister #HORRID dialogue #Tom Felton was there for some reason??#in the above images his character's gf has just finished calling him a coward #and then tripped and fell and blew her own head off with a shotgun #and in response he chose to do THIS with his face #which was the closest thing to compelling or scary that happened the entire time #as always I thought peter was fantastic but like #such a 2010s B-movie lmfao

i also just remembered a live action naruto is on the way BUT at least kishimoto will be involved. all i know is that gaara is too pure for this world and he better stay that way.

that is all.

#i swear im done ya'll #live actions of anime just worry me #cos most of the time they end up being trash central #and naruto will not be easy to pull off #if the CGI is trash #it'll make everything else offputting #i mean say what you will about marvel #but MOST of the time #they make that shit look good #ex: dr strange which to me still has some of marvel's best effects #anyway im DONE NOW #﹙ 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔!! ﹚ ooc post

this may be something i might change my mind about later, but i don't actually Hate artificially generated aesthetic pictures that are like "fungus themed couch" "art noveau inspired camera" "stained glass bathtub" "gothic style platic chairs" or "really fancy sky" tbh. like i think there's lots of room for playing around with ideas and concepts using - applying some good faith here - public domain source photos or otherwise ethically/consensually acquired images. what DOES drive me up the wall is that every time i come across a set of pictures like that there's NO mention that it's artificially created. sometimes there's no source listed at all, which is really common for ~*Aesthetic Pictures*~ anyway. what's worse is when it's like, [Name Of Creator, Name of Collection, 2023] as if it's a legitimate art exhibit, with no mention of the program used to create the pics. that's actually pretty upsetting - the underhandedness of it all. ugh.

#my general current opinion is that i have nothing against ai as tools in and of itself #my big problem is that we live in a capitalist hellscape where the powers that be and the general population has no respect for craftmanshi #and all the problems artists already experience are exuberated by AI and how it's being used so far #you can't??? replace artists with AI?????? that is fundamentally misunderstanding what an artist does #it's not to Create Something Pretty it's to Create Something With Intention #'once AI can generate a movie it's over' an AI could only create an extremely bland and formulaic movie #like a marvel superhero movie or a disney live action remake. which are created by exploiting CGI labour and pumping out content constantly #an algorithm could never create everything everywhere all at once or undertale or something that has anything to say #(fun fact there's a recent scandal in norwegian schools where they made fake poems by a fake poet for english exams for students to analyse #and the poems are SO BAD the english teachers thought they were created by AI. they are ALLEGEDLY written by a real person but the problem #is the Exact Same as if it had been artificially created. it's a fucking venn diagram. it's a lack of respect for craft #and lacking workers rights.)#sorry about this the discourse is exhausting and i try to avoid it #people kept sending me the fungi couch :( i really like the fungi couch :(

this is so crazyyy the ads that play on cable have the same level of CGI and bad cinematography as the movie it's genuinely hard to tell when it cuts to commercials

#the state of advertising nowadays is just fucking dire too #but the movie itself has a billion characters and plot threads so I can't follow what's going on #also it's all CGI so my brain is glossing over everything that's happening cause it all looks like a g0d of war cutscene

The whole "cGi iS rUinInG mOvIeS" is so wild to me because like. I'm a HUGE proponent of practical effects. I mean, I'm a theatre worker and moreover a props artist, practical effects is what I do. But it really bothers me when I see pro-Practical FX people proping up practical effects by shitting on CGI. Both have their place in film and we can prop up one without demonizing an entire profession.

#and before anyones like “really?? coming from a *marvel* blog??” like yeah. i know Marvel relies too much on cgi. im not fucking blind #i just think that we can have it both ways and it feels especially bad when the reason cgi has beomg used so much more is because they dont #have as good a union as set designers/stagehands/props artists/costumers/etc #and i know not everyone is doing this #but someone who reblogged one of my posts had this whole anti cgi tyraid that it felt like boiled down too #practical effects are better than cgi in every situation ever and movies used to achieve certain effects by being creative and just really #demonizing cgi and tbh I don't think thats the right approach #its like everything else. both have their strengths and weaknesses and an overreliance on one or the other is gonna hurt the final product

old man yells at cloud about constant sequels

#i wantttttt to like the beetlejuice sequel (just saw the trailer) and i don't want to be a hater. however #i dont knowwwww i mean theres a lot of callbacks to the original. which is good. its just #maybe its seeing some of these same effects done in cgi. or something #like it just looks like every other modern movie except w some of that beetlejuice imagery #im assuming the sandworms are cgi. bring back the claymationnnn bring back practical effectssss #idk im just really getting to hate the way movies nowadays look that are likely shot digitally and are just so subdued color wise #is any of this making sense.#like thinking of the original beetlejuice like whoa the colors were popping! greens reds purples!#and theyre so important and tied to the look of the movie and how it sticks in your mind #(im sorry. beetlejuice has always been one of my favorite movies. but anyway)#and now the sequel just looks ehhhh. you know #also we still should have had beetlejuice goes hawaiian instead. if we had to have a sequel #plus the story of the sequel seems so dependent on the story of the first movie like is there going to be anything original?#what made the first movie so good was not only was it a fun different storyline of these ghosts and everything #but it was also a good satire of the yuppies of that era as well as the idea of the afterlife and ghosts and all that. which was different!#im probably not making all of my points clearly and this doesnt really matter anyway but anyway #i need movies to be standalone movies. i dont want everything to be part of a series #i dont want beetlejuice to be called beetlejuice 1 #bc then ill be saying 'back in my day we had only one beetlejuice'#LIKE. yes some movies are really good and you could watch a whole tv show more with the characters in that movie #but it doesnt actually have to be made. thats for you to imagine in your mind #like wow i love those characters in beetlejuice. i wonder what it would be like going forward for these people to live with ghosts #but thats for you and your imagination!!!! ugh i dont know is any of this making sense i ask again. i keep trying to wrap up this post #but im very passionate about films and as i think about my own main movie idea/screenplay #i love my characters and i could put them in dozens of scenarios that would be very funny for them to deal with #but i dont think they need a five film series. the one movie is enough for the main storyline #ok im going to eat something. enough bitching from me about the current state of film

everybody STOP!!!!!!!! what you’re doing and find the nearest screening of Lawnmower Man 1992 maybe the single best cinema experience I’ve ever had

#god i feel insane #this movie has everything #homebrewed CGI #flowers for algernon meets steven king short story about a guy who gets naked and eats lawn grass #homoeroticism #pierce brosnan shirt off soft stomach & body hair out every other scene #the words Cyber Christ more than once #a cyber crucifixion #dean norris. for some reason

caved n started watching trigun stampede and it rly makes a world of a difference when you know what medium you're watching smth in.

like now that i know it's heavily stylized cg and not 2d i don't have a problem w it. it's when i don't know like w ep1 that i feel like I'm experiencing some uncanny valley shit and spend more time trying to figure out if it's 2d or 3d that i have a bad time. but as long as i know beforehand?? right on

#that being said if you haven't pls watch the new trigun #as someone who has never watched the original i am having a lot of fun #plus the art style is SO stylized that sometimes you can't even tell it's cgi #can honestly say I've never seen anything like it (artwise) before #((also e1 is kinda slow but everything after picks up the pace so give it until e2 to decide))#^ coming from someone who watched e1 a week ago and jus now blazed thru 2-4 today
