We went through 6 beers each.

Is Citizen Kane the worst 'best movie ever'?

No that would be The Godfather. At least CK still looks good, The Godfather looks like it was filmed with a potato by a potato.

Have you ever read anything about the Avatar universe? The movie MIGHT imply that, but earth is fucking addicted to that mineral, so much that without pandora earth will collapse.
It's literally a survival situation for both parties, except that one of those parties is almost like the aliens from independence day.

Seriously, why was TFA cinematography so shit? Does anyone even remember what Han Solo's freighter looked like? I can't. They were almost no establishing shots that really made anything stand out, except for maybe the Star Destroyer in the sand.
>>64461600
A couple of reasons. Part of it is that it was shot and lit really well. It was basically the peak of cinematography and effects for its time and was really unique.
The other part is that it got a really good restoration if you saw any of the recent editions. They scanned the film in 4K and went through each frame to fix the scratches and defects.
>>64461916
That symmetry in the cockpit is absolutely breathtaking.

Shots=sips. Not sure why you guys are being such assholes about someone drinking to something in a movie. Guess you got nothing better to do. If we did shots we would be vomiting by the midpoint of the film.

Best scene of the movie.
>>64462343
Not that guy, but I bought the bluray day 1. The one that just has the movie on it. I heard Cameron was going to make sequels so I opted to wait until they release them all to enjoy the extras on the collection.
The visuals are still great, I saw it again at my friend's 4k tv on his ps4 and that shit looked real as fuck. Visual effects and action are Cameron's forte, so I don't see how you can hate on Avatar for excelling on both while still praising 2001 when it only has effects and cinematography. Story got butchered cause muh art, what a faggot. But I digress. You don't looking for a great story in a Cameron movie, you go for action followed by even more action, each sequence making the previous sequence its bitch. I mean, he made T2 and Aliens, son. They said Titanic was going to be like Waterworld, they said Avatar was going to flop as well. Only thing I am worried about is him dying before he makes Battle Angel Alita.
Also, I was hyped for Avatar since at least 2006. And unlike FF13, he delivered.

>>64462825
and running around the death star that's crawling with enemy troops makes more sense somehow? the OT has the same exact situation where the protagonists should have been shot dead a million times but they have plot armor.
it's a fairy tale. it's your job to suspend disbelief.
ayo papi
Is this good cinematography?
The crossed red and blue lightsabers represent the crossroads between the light side and the dark side

this is genuinely a nice composition, very dynamic and readable despite the number of characters. it's a crowded room but the opposition between the hero and the villain is strongly conveyed. the prequels have pretty good cinematography in general.

is that also why they never get shot in cloud city? or why teddy bears can kill stormtroopers with sticks? did the empire contrive to have itself destroyed? did jabba have a death wish too? did boba fett intentionally let a blind man kill him?
the ot and the prequels run on the exact same type of fairy tale logic.
>>64463398
That, and his color seems darker. the shadowing on him doesn't really look the same as on any other objects

I said drink every time a shot looked like a painting. Not take a shot every time a shot looked like a painting.

At least Fight Club was original in its cinematography. Kubrick is so original that he has to copy paintings.
>>64463272
dammit i want some (you)'s
>>64463277
droids in star wars are established as sentient beings from the first minutes of the first film. and in jabba's palace there is a droid torture chamber meaning they can feel (and want to avoid) pain.
>>64462680
Fuck off retard

Here's a contrast with Return of the Jedi that shows that Luke choose the light side over the dark side.

This is visual vomit, it literally hurts my eyes to look at because of how crowded it is, the angle, the awful blur. I'm not exaggerating here, I'm actually getting a small headache if I stare at this for too long. What the fuck?
>>64463450
fight club was not original in any way in its cinematography
>>64462461
anon may feel that facets of cinematography cannot be discussed in isolation, and shouldn't just be limited to for e.g. composition and lighting
to be fair the thread has been neglecting camera work and perhaps anon is frustrated by the lack of its appreciation

>It started to get bad in ROTJ, but even that wasn't near the prequel levels of absurdity
i still haven't seen a good example of the prequels being more absurd in terms of plot armor than the ot. the prequels operate on the same level as 4 and 5, with 6 being by far the most absurd of the whole series. what the fuck is luke's plan for jabba supposed to be? he just murders everyone with his lightsaber in the end. why did everyone else have to get captured first? why was it essential for leia to become a sex slave before luke showed up? did he want her to get gangraped by pigmen?
