    True, I just having recently seen two things with actual sets and on location I just wish we'd go back to that. I get cost effectiveness/laziness etc, just want some real physical things again. Or like actually being fooled by what is cgi versus what is not.

    I'm not even inherently opposed to going heavy on CG, if it's in service of something dope

    Like RRR gets pretty crazy with the CG at times, but that's so a man can leap out of a truck full of animals with a lit torch before throwing a tiger at a colonizer, like yeah, digital that up please

    But spending the GDP of Hungary to look like an ad for how Flonase blocks histamines is so fucking... Lame

    You know, I'm actually gonna watch the movie because I love Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and it looks rompy enough, but damn if that isn't the perfect description of what the quantum realm looks like! Why? Why does it look like a nasal spray demonstration?

    In other news I’m watching the old Silent Hill movie for the first time since it came out because of the news that they’re bringing the director back

    Frankly the first hour is pretty good! It’s not perfect but it’s not bad, and the visuals are on point throughout

    The things they change from a very, very simple cult-y horror story in the first game are almost universally for the worse, though, and the moment they arrive at the church the movie gets worse because then there’s dialogue and lore and other characters and then there’s the exposition dump at the end and MAN the movie has script and structure problems, especially in terms of it trusting it’s audience to figure shit out or infer from context

    But I’ll say, the direction isn’t the problem! It elevates what would otherwise be way way worse! And the monsters are all cool, even if the personalized symbolism of each is lost because they wanted to do the greatest hits. They still look great today, even with occasional dodgy CGI

    Almost every major flaw in the movie("HOOOOME, SILENT HILLLLL"), the detective stuff with Sean Bean, and the exposition dumps can all be laid in the lap of studio interference.

    one of the best parts of the first Silent Hill movie is that Sean Bean is
    the only one of the main characters who didn't die.

    that's true! sorry!

    (it did come out 16 years ag- oh christ 16 years oh no)

    oh do you guys remember in the second Silent Hill movie when Pyramid Head does
    crack the whip with a lady so hard that it tears her whole skin off like a suit.

    that movie was fucking dire, but that 15 seconds :chefkiss:

    edit: god, the second Silent Hill movie makes me mad. the second game works so well as a movie. instead it's "kinda the worst parts of both, sorry. hey Jon Snow is in it tho."

    It just feels a little mean spirited to me to say his career should be over due to something as vague as him being a producer and discharging a firearm that he had no way of knowing whether or not it was loaded. Living with the guilt of knowing he took a life, even unintentionally, feels like more than enough of a cross to bear. (Though if he's been selfish about paying respects to the victim, that's another story.)

    Listen at some point the buck has to stop

    In terms of direct responsibility for the death, it stops at the armorer, the person who was so irresponsible that they allowed a loaded weapon onto the set and into an actors’ hands

    In terms of indirect responsibility, it ends with the person who hired that person, who signed off on her, who had oversight on the production and who allowed lax safety standards, allowed a lack of procedure, in the name of saving a buck or just in the name of saving time, and that’s the producer

    And Alec Baldwin was an executive producer on Rust! He helped write the story! He was the star and his production company was attached! That movie was his baby! He had all the power, and he completely failed to protect his crew, which ended with him taking a person’s life inadvertently

    So yeah he’s got to live with that forever, and that’s terrible. But it’s a lot worse for the family of the deceased! Who would not be dead if it weren’t for him!

    And that is why Alec Baldwin deserves to be run out of Hollywood on a rail

    I think if we were just talking about the producers who hired her, you could say they were liable to the family and a civil suit should bring damages to the company for hiring someone clearly not ready for the job. But a producer to my knowledge is not always super hands on with the actual day-to-day things going on, and might not even be around a ton. But Alec was on set, all the time, intimately involved with the day to day shooting because he both wrote the movie and was the lead actor. He has been on plenty of sets with guns, he absolutely knows what should be going on, in general, with safety measures.

    Which I think gives him way more liability in terms of his career moving forward. You are not owed the chance to be an actor or to make movies. He has done this a long time, and I think the least that could happen is that he isn't put in a position to hurt people or to create an unsafe environment again.

    I saw it the day it came out. It was so aggressively bad, why they decided to adapt 3 after a lead-in that would have been better for 2 is beyond me, but I guess at least Gans gets to do a film about 2 with a fresh slate now....

    If you put a gun to my head and said "we'll let you adapt Silent Hill 2 but it has to be a sequel to the first film", I would
    play with it as a psychological horror. What happened in the first film was real? What was in his head? Did she really disappear looking for their daughter?
    Did something else happen to her? Wasn't she sick at one point? Didn't they vacation at Silent Hill at one point? ...who is this Maria woman?

    Yes, it would be messy, but it's far from impossible.

    i definitely can understand the problem with a franchise creating something so iconic as pyramid head, a monster that is completely tied into the narrative of the game he is in and tied specifically to the main character, and being like "so uhhhhh, how do we get this guy into the next game/movie/comic???". It's not like these things grow on trees, sometimes you just have a thing you make that clicks with the audience and sure you want to ride that.

    It sucks though that the actual designer really hated his use in other things, which makes absolute sense because it simply does not work to put him in other things.

    i definitely can understand the problem with a franchise creating something so iconic as pyramid head, a monster that is completely tied into the narrative of the game he is in and tied specifically to the main character, and being like "so uhhhhh, how do we get this guy into the next game/movie/comic???". It's not like these things grow on trees, sometimes you just have a thing you make that clicks with the audience and sure you want to ride that.

    It sucks though that the actual designer really hated his use in other things, which makes absolute sense because it simply does not work to put him in other things.

    Shoulda just made a new guy, some sorta like Ziggurat Head

    what's funny is the designer literally did



    this came up earlier in the year when Pyramid Head was added to Dead by Daylight and he expressed frustration that no one uses the character he designed to be a mass-market Pyramid Head

    It just feels a little mean spirited to me to say his career should be over due to something as vague as him being a producer and discharging a firearm that he had no way of knowing whether or not it was loaded. Living with the guilt of knowing he took a life, even unintentionally, feels like more than enough of a cross to bear. (Though if he's been selfish about paying respects to the victim, that's another story.)

    Yeah, it must be really tough being Alec Baldwin. I bet he wakes up every day with that weight and thinks, “I wish I had been shot in the face by my boss instead.”

    I'm sure he's not happy he killed someone.

    They should turn SH into an edutainment franchise focusing on shapes. The next boss is Rhombic Dodecahedron Head!

    Eat shit and shut the fuck up, Ralph Fiennes

    Can't even pronounce your own fuckin' name right you dorkass loser

    His actual statement is actually completely incoherent too.
    In the Times interview, Fiennes says, “I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it’s not some obscene, uber-right-wing fascist. It’s just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’ And I understand where she’s coming from. Even though I’m not a woman.”

    Hey Ralph, what are you talking about, dude??

    I’m pretty sure no one has said Rowling can’t say she’s a woman?? The issue is her saying who else is a woman! That’s the whole thing!!!
