Love, Weddings & Other Disasters

Skylines and many many other trailers make me realize that thanks to the ease and cheapness of CGI these days anyone can make a shitty movie and get it out.

Not to mention a trilogy.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Not everyone gets to start their career with Butch and Sundance.

Being an old fart means any actor under age 50 is generic (except Scarlett Johansson, obviously). They're necessary for bit parts, but there is nothing interesting about anybody under 50. And by 50, I might mean 60.

They're either independent movies or movies made for cable. Sometimes they're both. A thing I've learned from being in an area that has become a film hotspot in the last several years, is that sometimes you'll get movies filmed for a channel such as Hallmark, ie the two Christmas movies look like they fit that bill. We've had many of those filmed here and in the area before getting to the big-budget Resident Evil reboot. Then you get independent movies, sometimes funded by pay channels that might get showings at movie festivals, then end up getting a home on that pay channel and not receive that much more coverage. Then you have the independent movies that get lots of attention that end up making it to the Oscars, which sometimes launch careers. But yeah, you gotta start somewhere.

Psycho Goreman

It actually looks fun...in an insane, midnight movie, multiple beers with friends way. It's like Gwar tried to make a family movie.

hepcat, you going to watch this one for us so we know it's not code for An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge?

Just noticed this. My hatred of the world's easiest twist ending for creatively bankrupt filmmakers must be more well known than I thought. By the way, the usual code for yet another rip off of that literary classic is "psychological thriller".

TV and movies are basically the same media stream now, and a pandemic year where no one goes to the theater has really accelerated that.

I think one of the goals of the next generation of VR headsets will be producing the illusion of a bigger-than-life screen. This might even be more important than video gaming.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Sun Nov 08, 2020 9:27 pm

Sticking with VR is a dead thing or will be soon. No one wanted to wear a helmet to watch a movie anymore than they wanted to wear glasses to see a 3Dtv.

Maybe from a consumer point of view, but definitely not from a production standpoint.
