Remember when movies used to actually blow things up?
>>63683650
Lol it's 2015 gramps, we have computers to do all that now. Get with the times.
>>63683650
Jet fuel can't melt steel reeves.
Remember when movies built half scale models and destroyed them?
>>63683650
Remember when directors like Landis actually killed people making movies instead of coddling them with greenscreen.
>>63683679
should we have better practical effects in [CURRENT YEAR]
>>63683650
Remember when waterworld lost a shitzillion dollars and nobody wanted to take a risk on huge traditional props ever again?
>>63683718
It wasn't half scale. It was about the length of a pickup truck.
YEAH I DO
>>63683718
i never really liked movies that make deaths of innocent people so brutal. that and titanic is just a shit movie
>>63683718
God, I have such a love/hate relationship with Titanic
The writing and plot were shit, but the amount of technical work that was put into it was astonishing
>>63683814
innocent people die brutal deaths every minute.
>>63683800
This scene is still more plausible than The Martian.
>>63683829
Based Jim even hired the same fabric shops, metalworks etc companies that made shit for the actual ship in 1912. He spent YEARS getting all the details right.
it's a shame that there's so much unused footage out there, if I recall, some rooms and whole sets never made it to the final movie so you never knew it existed.
>>63683814
Dying brutally is better than dying slowly
You mean, last year?
>>63683814
>tfw you're the only one in your family who thinks Titanic is a grotesque insult to the deaths of over a thousand innocents
>>63683829
shit writing to get female asses in seats
everything else for male asses in seats
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE WHITE RACE WASN'T IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION AT THE HANDS OF RACEMIXING?
>>63683983
that's not really a movie.
This was for the women
>>63683800
man I love Hard Target
>>63683983
The amount of blatant digital superimposition in fury road detracted from the effects.
The entire project screamed of trying to have the freedom/safety of CGI and the "realism" of practical effects, resulting in just a bland, bullshit movie.
The fact its impossible to care about anything that happens means it might as well just be a sfx reel.
>>63683988
you don't really think that, though. you've just adopted it as an opinion because you think it makes you interesting.
>>63684010
It's a collection of pictures played quickly in sequence accompanied by a soundtrack. How is that not a moving picture?
>>63683771
we do. you would be amazed how much CG is used and you don't even notice because it so good.
>>63683994
I remember when the white race didn't exist at all. Because its a very recent invention created by slamming a huge number of "approved" races together into a nondescript hodgepodge that lacks any sort of culture or heritage.
:^)
>>63684088
Wait, that doesn't make me interesting?Please don't say that anon, it's all I have going for me.
>>63683650
i can remember Fury Road quite vividly
remember when they cut those gook kids' heads off?
>>63684070
While there was definitely a lot of digital splicing done in FR, you still have to give the production team credit for the effects they used. The bomb toting mountain bikers, the buzzards' spiked cars, were all built to scale and then demolished on set.
I feel sorry for you if you thought the movie was uninteresting, but personally I was on the edge of my seat throuought most of the action scenes. It was a perfectly made action movie.
>>63684088
This guy
>>63683800
john woo is such a madman
>>63683718
>that guy with blood all over his head
I haven't seen Titanic in a while, but isn't that the only time there's blood in the movie?
>>63684070
I have complaints aplenty about fury road but lousy effects isn't one of them. your opinion is just bad
>>63683814
>people dying on the titanic shouldnt be depicted as brutal
>>63683650
We can all agree that Speed is underrated, right?
>>63683814
>i never really liked movies that make deaths of innocent people so brutal
are you my grandmother?
>>63683650
Remember when people made webm and removed the black bars?

no, it shoulnt
>>63684273
> you still have to give the production team credit for the effects they used
I was about to, until the scene with the shitty guitar flying towards the screen reflecting completely different lighting than what is visible on screen.
They spent so much effort to have that shot be all practical, and it just looked like 90s CGI.
>>63684333
You also seem to have illiteracy.
>>63684608
please tell me what part of what I wrote was grammatically incorrect.
>>63684097
By being a flick
>>63684697
Literacy encompass more than grammar.
>>63683814
But people die in the most awfull ways every day anon. There's nothing wrong with depicting this in an honest way. In any way really.
>>63684332
Yeah, and ironically the scene which explained why he's even bloody was removed from the final
Yes OP those were the days.
Animation just doesn't seem to cut it for the fun factor
I don't care how "realistic" green screen garbage has come
it always feels so hollow
>>63683650
Is that The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down?
>>63685074
>>63685032
Maybe I'm just austic, but knowing they either a)made a real explosion/crash/destruction,
or b.) used a physical touchable model
allows my mind to instantly believe it as feasible and possible.
I used to build models in the 90s in hopes of becoming a FX artist someday but it never came to be
>>63683800
sometimes a man just has to be a man
>>63684763
Ok unless you cite something specific I'll be forced to disregard your opinion... again
>>63684010
You're right, it's a film
>>63683650
seeing planes vaguely from this angle trigger me
>>63684608
>have illiteracy.
>>63684608
It seems to me someone is illiterate.
>>63683650
Remember when that was the only way to do things like that?
>>63683994
I remember that I'm not such a loser that I have to rely on my skin color as an achievement in life because I'm not a fuck up.
>>63683797
The one they sank certainly wasn't half scale, but it wasn't the size of a pickup either.
They actually had quite a few models of different sizes. The smallest was about 20 feet.
>>63684088
oh go jerk off to your mom, freud
>>63684018
That always bugged me. Like obviously she got married and had kids, and that poor guy dies expecting her in heaven and instead she ends up on a shit with a guy she knew for like 2 days.
>>63683829
Agreed 100%
The amount of work that went into every set is truly mindblowing. When I watch it, I skip to when the boat hits the iceberg and put it on mute for the rest of the movie.
>>63685594
In heaven, she can be in two places at once. :^)
>>63683814
>>63683988
I feel the same about Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. Spielberg tries to come off as so noble and well meaning while both films have numerous set up/punch line death scenes.
>Woops, she stepped on the piano keys and got shot!
>the guy took his helmet off after it deflected a bullet, then got shot!
>the third time he turns around the radio guy is dead!
He treats these two events like they're the most serious things in history but has way too much fun reenacting them, like a kid playing war with his friends
>>63683829
I have the exact same feelings about Avatar too.
>>63685163
did you build that?
>>63686108
Yeah. like I said, I was building plastic models for years trying to increase my skill
>>63685163
Yes, that would most definitely be autism.
>>63683800
>i need to ride this leaky motorcycle into that SUV to save my GF by somehow shooting my leaky motocycle through the SUV while firing in the direction my GF is in
obviously this guy has never watched Ronin
>>63683650
Those explosions are still kind of cheesy because the vehicles are filled with stupid amounts of fuel that make a lot more flame than a realistic explosion would. We've all seen how a regular car for example is blown up in some movies and a huge ball of flame erupts, as if the trunk and back seat was filled with jerry cans.
>>63685163
Nice work.
I understand why you stopped. It's such a smaller industry now and the standards are crazy high.
I have the alot of respect for the guys working in that industry. Especially since there are only a few studios to go around.
>>63686176
>>63685163
Thats really cool
>>63686385
>>63686397
Thanks. Yeah its a tiny industry now and i know my skills aren't anywhere close. But I still build models from time to time when I have a break.
>>63685163
>I used to build models in the 90s in hopes of becoming a FX artist someday
You must have been in the last generation who thought that was a possibility.
>>63686538
Have you thought about doing it on commission for people's Warhammer collections and stuff? Tons of practice, and supposedly great money.
>>63686653
I actually knew a guy in undergrad who suggested that as well. He painted his own figures, but he told me about how it was a pretty good niche market if I wanted to try to get into it
>>63683650
It's a model
>>63689225
This is a model
>>63683983
Holy shit the movie would look a shitton better if it were actually naturally colored.

Noiiiiccee
>>63689335
I had those when I was a kid!
>>63689728
You can still get them at Hobby Lobby. Its the "man in space" 5-pak. Fun quick little thing to work on over the weekends
>>63689335
Looks so real
I should also thank my cousin who was painting models long before me, who got me into it. His Trek model is probably is best, circa 1995

>film has gotten so bad we're looking back on speed fondly
reality truly is a perpetual unending nightmare
>>63690731
Cycles within cycles anon. Black and white will come back with a fury only to die a slow death once more.
>>63684018
Wait a god damn minute, we know that the old Rose had children. Why the fuck isn't she with her actual husband instead of derpy 19 year old street rat?
