- Quick, name an Iconic movie that went directly to streaming. Give me a catch phrase, any iconic character, from a Netflix Original movie.Netflix boss Ted Sarandos says the streaming platform is 'saving Hollywood' He thinks going to see movies in theaters is 'an outmoded idea for most people'
- I think the worst trend in modern movies is this obsession with naturalistic lighting. Lighting is like sound design, it’s not meant to be realistic.Movies don’t look this good anymore
- Boss Fights >>>>>>> Heroes taking out a mindless HordeAvengers: Endgame
GIF - I still think Multiverse of Madness is one of the better Post Endgame movies. By no means is it perfect (and it’s got issues), but when it cooks it cooks hard.wanda maximoff breaking the fourth wall.
GIF - One of the reason the Michael Bay Transformers looks so real is that there is harsh sunlight in every exterior scene. Every surface reflects the environment and lighting. Why did we stop doing that?First look at The Fantastic Four fighting Giganto in ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS’ In theaters on July 25.
00:00 - One of the MANY reasons movies like Dune and Avatar look so great is that they NEVER do camera moves that would be impossible in Live Action.the awesome moviemaking choices like mounting a virtual camera to the skimwing
GIF - It's pretty wild that 4 of our most interesting and compelling young actors (Austin Butler, Mikey Madison, Sydney Sweeney, Margaret Qualley), all had breakout parts in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, a movie about the transition of eras that came right at the end of an era.
- Honestly the biggest hope I have after Dune 2’s massive blow up success is that we get more movies that aren’t overlit and actually commit to a color pallet. Let your actors bask in shadows!
GIF - It’s really fucking funny how in the 90’s, Harrison ford played the president in ‘Air Force One’ and was the appropriate age to play the President. Now in 2025 he’s still playing the president and he’s once again the appropriate age to play the President…
GIF - Avatar 2 is legging similar to the first film, Puss in Boots 2 is having amazing, almost Greatest Showman like legs due to its fantastic word of mouth (It's amazing), and M3GAN dropped less than 45% from it's debut weekend. This is what a healthy film market looks like!
- Replying to @jburd22For the record, movies I believe are Iconic for the 2020's: - Dune 1 and 2 - Barbie - Oppenheimer - Top Gun Maverick - Everything, Everywhere, All at Once - Wicked - Morbius - Nope - Nosferatu - Across the Spider-Verse Seeing Sinners tomorrow and hoping it joins this list.
- The best part of the WandaVision finale (Spoilers duh) was when the two Visions stopped fighting and began a philosophical discussion on identity and the ship of Theseus. Really impressed with how they wrapped this story up.
- Finding Nemo, one of the biggest hits in Pixar’s history, was born out of Director Andrew Stanton being born as a very sick baby and the love he has for his parents.
