The show was about love?

Or the theory on the simulation?
There's so many theories out there. One about everything happening now is just a movie projection of what already happened. Or something? :noonecares:

I'm still of the mind that there are multiple universes.
Each one a different path of every moment in life that leads to different results.
So there's an infinite number of universes.
Far more than the Flashpoint Paradox can handle.

Haven't seen Westworld but think I know exactly what gururu means.
I don't care for shows that have ideological agendas, or at least ones that sacrifice other elements to deliver a message to audiences. You have characters; use them. Actions speak louder than words; exposition doesn't leave the same impact. This is a dead giveaway when a show is, as gururu put it, 'pseudo-intellectual': it doesn't treat its viewers as if they're intelligent. Everything, every facet of their message, has to be explained in painful dialogue. It is not a rewarding experience to watch this.

What is rewarding is for a viewer to rewatch a show and catch some hint or clue hidden in seemingly superficial dialogue. If you're stupid like me you won't pick up on it, and some guy on the Internet will have to tell you what's up, but for the rare time that I do make a realization that something has a deeper meaning, it means that the message the movie sent already must have resonated with me on some level. Now, what will stick with me more? Watching a five-minute conversation scene that makes me think the writers are smart, or a puzzle that makes me feel smart because I've already ingested the idea and am now applying it to the film/TV show?

Also agree with him on the titties and gore. Everything has to be the next Game of Thrones, doesn't it? :rolleyes:

exposition doesn't leave the same impact

This show doesn't nearly have as much exposition as you would believe.

"Intillectual" means that it lets you think where there is no exposition.
Conjure up theories until you see the finale.

It keeps you guessing and when you google the show on reddit, you'll see hundreds of "fan theories" about the show as it was aired.
It was insane.

Everything thrives to re-invent that feeling you get when you watch The Sixth Sense.

TheSkeletonMan939
12-20-2016, 04:32 AM
I have a love/hate viewpoint on fan theories.
On the one hand I think a lot of them miss the point and spend too much time drawing tenuous lines between details that coincidentally align. Plus I think that any deeper meaning the movie/TV show/whatever risks being dashed if people read into them too much.
On the other hand, out of a hundred crappy ones that don't use real evidence, there's one or two good ones that use solid, undebatable evidence to prop up ideas that if nothing else are pretty cool to think about. I lose interest in the ones that spend a lot of time rationalizing supposition.

So I've just finished Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn. It's pretty damn underwhelming from what I recall. Like, I was expecting something grand like Tubular Bells (Part 1). Instead, I have the feeling I have with TB (Part 2), where only one or so parts really stood out. And this is supposed to be considered his best work? Well then.

I think listening to a vinyl rip that was full of pops and cracks (as well as a different mix than the original) didn't help, seeing as this CD rip is sounding much nicer. Those Japanese sure know how to produce their CDs well.

At least there's a nice 7" edit that captures my favorite part of it. (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-2B9zEroJUMWENValp4elJMS0U)

IF recording sessions exist, at all, they most likely sound worse than the official releases (of the original recording). But even for those, they've somehow always managed to botch the quality one way or another.

It's like, if you were to take a sound quality characteristic from one of the previous releases, and combine or apply it to the most recent version included with the Blu-ray, then you'd have a satisfactory result. But as it stands, that most recent release doesn't sound awful, though, there's something missing that would improve it by a good measure.

Just got back from Rogue One for a second time.

Went with my dad, who saw A New Hope in theatres when it came out a dozen times (he was 15 at the time) and is a gigantic Star Wars nerd.

You know what he told me?

"The tarkin actor looked pretty good, really good makeup and prosthetics to make the actor look more like cushing. I could
see some things that were not quite right, but overall it was pretty damn close".

..

He legitimately thought Tarkin was played by a real person. He noticed the CGI leia right away but legitimately thought Tarkin was an actor.

You are. Alone on the island.

But seriously, how could you do a story of stealing the plans to the Death Star and not have Grand Moff Tarkin? He ran the project, even outranking Vader. He had to be there. Personally, I think ILM and actor Guy Henry who played Tarkin did a great job. (Henry resembles the late, great Peter Cushing quite a bit.) And Lucasfilm approached the executor of Cushing's estate and asked for permission to use Cushing's likeness. (Interestingly, the UK has no laws against appropriating a celebrity's image after his/her death. The US does.)

As for Leia, it makes sense. The film's through line was hope and after what happened to the crew of the Rogue One it was probably the best way to inject hope into the film's finale. (Plus you got to see Vader in all his Sith badassery. He mowed the Rebels down like so much summer wheat and the audience saw what it cost the Rebels to get those plans.)

In the immortal words of Thomas Paine: "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value."

Ah, yes indeed. ABC has been now doing a yearly thing with HP each Christmas, where they marathon every film, but the catch is that every one of them is extended with deleted scenes put back in.

Thing is: since there's only really two films that got the extended treatment officially released (which was only because Columbus was only guy that cared enough in placing them back in properly), it doesn't surprise me that the rest would seem choppy.

Bonus points given if the effects remain incomplete. Though I do wonder if there's any scenes exclusive to TV (though I doubt it).

I really need to marathon all the films at some point, in order to further understand what makes the fans rather frustrated with VII (though I probably don't need the prequels, but I'm still interested). Doing the original trilogy in such a half hazard form didn't help.

I'll always have nostalgia for III, if only because that was the only SW thing I owned on DVD when I was much younger.

all the films

Half the problem right there.

The Prequels are nice to watch but nowhere near the same quality as the OT.
Every since Phantom Menace, it's been about the graphics updates and casting a boyband actor as Anikin.
He's pretty and all, but can't actually act.

I don't think Lucas adapted too well into the modern era.
His writing is very much like soap opera TV.
The whole friend-zone and wedding bits were too much to sit through in theaters.

There's two distinct generations of Star Wars.

The Prequel films, I'd play for the music and sound design.
The sound is largest appeal. I can (passively) listen to those movies more than I can (actively) watch them.

I went to the theaters for the Special Edition releases of the OT and felt out of place and outdated.
Most parents just dropped their kids off to see it because it was Star Wars.
A few older people were there trying to relive childhood or gain some insight to be on the same level as their friends and family who had the privilage of seeing the untainted versions in theater.

The 35mm film scans are the best bet for preserving the OT.

There's two distinct generations of Star Wars.

The Prequel films, I'd play for the music and sound design.
The sound is largest appeal. I can (passively) listen to those movies more than I can (actively) watch them.

I went to the theaters for the Special Edition releases of the OT and felt out of place and outdated.
Most parents just dropped their kids off to see it because it was Star Wars.
A few older people were there trying to relive childhood or gain some insight to be on the same level as their friends and family who had the privilage of seeing the untainted versions in theater.

The 35mm film scans are the best bet for preserving the OT.

I love the Zam chase.
It was fun in theaters.
The clones at the end was neat for the theme.
The Tusken raid/murder scene had really neat music.

I enjoy the film, but not as much as the score. It's, in my opinion, THE best Star Wars score ever written. Tracked music aside, I really feel as if Williams was truly inspired by the entire plot of this film. He really understood the emotions that needed to be conveyed, because, after all, it was Anakin's real turning point in his life to the dark side.

It's a cheap mastering service.
"Professional" audio mastering.
"Sound like a pro without paying studio rates or learning complex plug-ins"

I think Z is just making a joke of what sort of mastering they're doing.

Any real mastering service, you'd be talking to them about what you want. How hard or soft it should be.
Blind mastering, if you pay for that, you get exactly what you have coming to you.

Although, a proper insult would be to do your mastering and set up a blind abx listening test and let people guess what's what.
Spectrograms and waveforms are merely indicators of trivial information and lack so much of what people really look for.

Actually, I've seen ads for LANDR all over my Facebook and instagram lately and it's driving me nuts, so I thought I'd check it out. It's a cool concept, "professional" mastering without the studio, at the click of a button. For artists who don't have the knowhow or the time, it's a great service. The less intense presets are nice and are actually great for commercial production as I've found from my own testing. Quieter tracks tend to work better, if you try and master a loud track with highest intensity it just blows it all to shit :laugh: .

HunterTech
12-24-2016, 09:17 AM
That does sound like a neat concept. I wouldn't throw $299 a month at a program just to further prove how shit modern day mastering is. I'm pretty sure Audacity has the necessary tools to make a similar result.

The 90s were not Carpenter's decade. He had one good movie in those ten years and Escape from L.A. was not it. (It was Mouth of Madness.)

Reusing the original's plot didn't help, nor did the cheap looking CGI or shooting the film on Hollywood's backlot. (Carpenter shot EFNY in East St. Louis. The city was so desperate for cash it rolled out the red carpet for the modest production. City father's gave Carpenter and his team full run of the place. I think it was Carpenter who said when he asked if the city could kill the lights on a couple of blocks, they responded the power company could douse the entire grid. Carpenter responded, no, he just needed a few blocks.)

60 Christmas movies on Plex and we went through nearly all of them.

Home Alone 1 and 2 were on there.

You can skip right to the empty house and be done quicker.
1 takes way too long.

Gremlins was on there. Not a fan as much as I used to be when i was a kid.
I really want to see an R-rated version.

In all honesty, short of the reruns like Muppet Christmas Carol and Nightmare Before Christmas, Die Hard 1 & 2 were the biggest hits for Christmas movies this year.
They really stand up against the test of time.
We watched Lethal Weapon 1 afterward and are going back down that road.
We'll skip right to the introduction of Rene Zellwegger in 3 and then go to 4 with Jet Li.
2 will only be watched so we can make fun of that guy's accent: "Deepplowmahtik eemuhnitee".

Because it's a classic, same as the first. Yes, it's nearly the same thing as the first - but it ups the stakes by having him alone in one of the most populated cities in the world. Imagine you were all alone in Manhattan at 10 years old? Plus, our new president is in it!!

It just appeals to me cause I've watched it every year since it came out. And being a native New Yorker, it adds to it. It's also directed by your beloved Chris Columbus (and written and produced by the director of The Breakfast Club).

Lacking narrative focus or rhythm, it's both uneven in tone and intent, and (unsurprisingly) unfailingly unsupported by a facile score better suited to a kiddie film.

The pacing of the BFG was a bit of a head-scratcher.
The whole sequence at Buckingham Palace felt like something you'd play at an intermission. Completely superfluous but lightly entertaining.

Though it went on far too long, I'd say the Buckingham stuff was the only point of interest for me, if only because The Queen was more interesting than Disney Orphan™ Mark XX. Penelope Wilton's slow head turn to the camera provoked the only good laugh.

No, it's a fact. Last year he brought a fucking goat into his apartment for a joke. He hires talent which is wholly superfluous and only serves as material for the skits. This is all because he's gone a bit more mainstream, and can afford to get out of the "fat guy sits in chair and talks to camera" routine that most of these YouTubers follow. None of this was ever present until a couple years ago.

As much as I used to like to see him goofing around from time to time before and after the meat of the video, now the skits feel like they have completely overtaken the actual content itself.

Watch his older videos. Some of them have skits but none of them are at the same level they are today, wherein third parties and expensive products are used/wasted for gags. Think what you want about them, but the fact is that more popularity = more money = more props.

The extended edition is not so great.
That's one cut they could do with just the theatrical.

It does give more insight with what's going on with the witch and how they seem to be very well planned (until it goes wrong).

HARLEY AND JOKER | 'Chemical Wedding' w/ Original Score | 2016 [HD]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9mU8uzWXdQ

The chemical bath "Will you live for me?" scene with "Joker and Harley" from Steven Price's score instead of the Gangsta hiphop song.
Great match up!

That makes me wonder.
I ought to watch the movie with just the center channel only.
I bet there's other sweet spots where the music can be muted out.

I hope that wasn't a clip from press sites where you can get dialogue and sfx only. I don't remember them.

Yeah, skimmed through the movie while putting the Center speaker on Solo (FFDShow).
That scene, there's some bleeding of music in the center channel.
But, you can mask it by tweaking the audio levels and mixing the score in louder to cover whatever's there.
You can easily trim out some parts of the sfx and keep the necessary material in there.

Some parts are just dialogue and sfx.
The very first scene with Will Smith boxing with his sandbag, is all musicless in the center channel.
Then Harley Quinn and a few others have music in teh center channel.
And then a couple members have no music for the center channel.



Someone used the sheet music to Interstellar and recorded them playing it then ran it through a software called Synthesia (http://www.synthesiagame.com/) to create this...

I'd be interested to see what auditory effect having music in the center channel has, if any.
Does it actually enhance the way the music sounds in your home theater, or is it just to balance things out just to be safe?

Low-budget movies and TV shows (especially animation) have NO music mixed in the center at all and no one ever seems to have noticed or made a fuss.

It doesn't make that much louder for surround sound.
Most of the time, it's very quiet and just bleeds.
You can still hear it, but when you have the front channels active, you won't even notice because the front channels are the loudest.
The bleeding in the center is minor effect.

Sometimes the director will want the music equally loud in the center as the front L/R channels.
That's when you actually notice the difference.

I think the full effect is mostly reserved for commercial scenes.
Like a montage scene where they can showcase an artist.

If you listen with stereo setup, it makes no difference.

Watched The 'Burbs…yet again. Yes, it's terribly silly, but the cast Dante put together is stellar (particular Hanks, who would later go on to insufferable, self-important dramatic roles). The pretzels and sardine routine never fails to make me laugh. Carrie gets the straight man role, providing the necessary balance for all the nonsensical goings-on.

And, of course, there's Goldsmith witty score providing additional laughs of its own.

So SVP and it's core libraries have updated in the past while.
So has other dependencies (MVTools, Avisynth, etc).

I just spent some time trying out various settings on Transformers: Dark of the Moon prologue scene.
I tried so many settings and found a decent setting that makes it look smooth with less artefacts.
Some settings have much more smoothness but creates jarring stutter and artefacts.

Frame interpolation naturally comes with artefacts.
But thanks to udpates, you can minimize those and achieve great results.

Interpolation also shows every little nuance in the camera work for certain scenes.
Hand held versus machine operated booms versus tracks versus digital environments.

Going to set up an encode while I sleep to see how all the updates turned out.

Looks far more promising compared to last year.
