QuincyPeck , in Seven Samurai is coming back to theaters with a new 4K restoration

Showing my age, I guess, but I’ve yet to see a 4K restoration of a classic film that didn’t look jarring and fake. Completely ruins the look of an older movie.

koberulz ,

What on earth are you talking about?

QuincyPeck ,

4k looks awful. Just across the board bad. Actors look too smooth, the motion is off. Makes a film look like a video game and not a movie.

koberulz ,

You're watching it wrong.

I think you might be talking about the frames per second (fps) and not the 4k resolution. The higher resolution makes the picture clearer, higher frame frequency increases motion smoothness and reduces motion blurring.

Trash.

yessikg , in Are trailers revealing too much again nowadays?
@yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

No, give all the details about what kind of movie it is so I can figure out if it's going to be worth my time. The one thing that's bad is when the trailer misrepresents the movie's genre

VubDapple , in The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power - Official Teaser Trailer | Prime Video

I liked it, but it's not exactly canon, but that is also not exactly the fault of the show runners who had limited material to work with due to the Tolkien Estate apparently. I kind of liked how they handled Sauron and what they did to humanize the Orcs.

yea there were definitely some significant positives in S1 for sure. The writing was just off though.

My biggest like from S1 turned out to be the quasi-romance they created between Galadriel and Sauron. I thought it was creative and interesting without terribly violating any lore but instead kinda adding to the lore with an interesting "maybe this actually happened" that is vague enough that even the main characters (Galadriel and Sauron) can't be sure what it was.

sucks

livus , in How ‘Putin’ Will Test Audience Appetite for AI

Good lord that filter can make anyone look kind of handsome and sympathetic.

Edit: brb, just changing my bio photo.

supertinkers , in Sylvester Stallone's Rocky origin story is punching its way onto the silver screen with Peter Farrelly directing

How much did his mom give him to make the movie? I know she was a famous actress.

scorpious ,

No.

Stallone?

His mom owned a salon in the 70s. She didn't really get famous till the 80s/90s, well after her son.

WamGams , in Megalopolis | First Look Clip

I am taking bets on this getting worse reviews than Jack.

The CGI is awful.

atro_city , in Anyone else?

Prince... somebody? McGonnagal? Walking Dead dude? Uh...Breaking Bad's wife?

Who are these people?

criitz ,

You got it

King Joffrey (Game of Thrones)
Professor Umbridge (Harry Potter)
Negan (Walking Dead)
Skyler White (Breaking Bad)

letsgo , in Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny?

Not quite the same but having listened to the 1712 Overture several times before hearing the 1812, I didn't get some of the jokes until I actually heard the 1812, and THAT's when I laughed.

But on-topic me and the wife have been watching an animation film where the cinema was mostly kids and we got, and laughed out loud at, some of the "jokes for the grown-ups" that none of the kids did, who were all staring at us for laughing at something that was totally not funny for them.

Twinkletoes , in The Running Man: Glen Powell to star in Edgar Wright's Stephen King adaptation

You had me at Edgar Wright

GCanuck , in The Running Man: Glen Powell to star in Edgar Wright's Stephen King adaptation

I would love to see a book accurate movie.

But considering how the book ends (a plane crashing into a corpo tower) I doubt it.

It’s also just too dark for modern audiences. I’d love to be wrong though.

Aux , in A new Matrix movie is in development with The Cabin in the Woods filmmaker Drew Goddard at the helm

They should've stopped after the first one.

metaStatic ,

I won't begrudge the Wachowskis taking an easy pay day on the sequels. They get a lot of leeway after making the fucking Matrix.

Aux ,

Well, the fourth part is totally fine by that logic.

0ops ,

I like to watch the first movie, then look up the action scenes in the sequels on YouTube

Aux ,

Yeah, that's a good idea!

SpookyGenderCommunist , in Has anyone watched Monkey Man? It's really good.
@SpookyGenderCommunist@hexbear.net avatar

It was described to me as "Dev Patel and his army of transgender women fight fascists" and that's exactly what I got. 10/10
