Blarghagh Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 If I were being a pickypants, Collosus looked a little.... dull? Plasticy? I didnt like his armor. There was something incredibly off about the way he moved, which surprised me as director Tim Miller's background is as a CG director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Supposedly the reason Colossus wasn't used much in the X-Men franchise was the cost of making his armor reflective and chrome-like.They went with CGI mo-cap colossus because Miller wanted comic accurate sized Collosus. My guess is to keep expenses down they dulled his reflectiveness.I'd imagine any stiffness to the animation is due to the tight budget.

Blarghagh Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Could be it. It reminded me of a time I overcleaned fidgety mocap and I ended up with something that moved almost like a real person, but just so slightly slower and stiffer that it made it look creepy as hell.

Agiel Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Re-watched the Wall. And remembered how I seriously wished that movie was just animated from start to finish. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Garm Wars : The Last Druid. A bizarre little number, a sort of 30% live action / 70% cgi anime. With a weirdly twisted together sci-fi take of... Gaelic mythology merged with I think, Mongolian influences. In a bleak apocalyptic world where tribes of clone soldiers fight each other, one ends up apart from her pack and traipsing on a mission of discovery with an odd band of others.

Raithe Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 So Warner Bros. have confirmed they will be keeping Zack Snyder on to help the 2-part Justice League films. In other and completely unrelated news, Marvel executives were found passed out in a local bar after ordering round after round of the best drinks the bar had to offer. Nobody could get from them what they were celebrating except that they kept on screaming “DARKNESS” before each shot and follow it up with generous amounts of laughter.

kirottu Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I saw Deadpool today and it was el muchos excellente. I don't remember the last I laughed as much as I did during the small-hand-jokes or during the second cab drive with Dopinder. If Schwarzenegger was born to play the terminator then Reynolds was definitely born to play Deadpool. The Bad: Story wasn't anything worth mentioning and CGI was badish more often than not. 1 This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

If Schwarzenegger was born to play the terminator then Reynolds was definitely born to play Deadpool. The Bad: Story wasn't anything worth mentioning and CGI was badish more often than not. Funny story - Apparently one producer involved with Blade Trinity introduced Reynolds to Deadpool. He told him after seeing his character in that film, he was totally Deadpool. Reynolds had never heard of him before, so went and got an issue out of curiosity. For the really quirky... that very first Deadpool comic he opened had a panel where Deadpool actually described himself as "Ryan Reynolds meets <some other bizarre character>" 4 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Raithe Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Sword of Destiny. Is it weird to be disappointed that it's all done in English and you don't hear Mandarin while reading subtitles? Edit: Okay, now that I've watched it all. Hm,. I'd say mixed reviews on it. It's an enjoyable romp as it is, but it's much more hollywoodised in the general style than the first time around. The locations bounce around and don't really feel that linked, and while the majority of the wuxia sequences are decent, there's nothing too outstanding to it. And towards the end some of the cgi background is a wee bit dodgy. The actors work well with what they have, hell, it's Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh leading the cast, with Jason Scott Lee as the big bad, so you expect that. There's a certain "Seven Samurai" feel to the gathering of folks to defend against the evil guys, but they don't really do anything to explore the supporting characters. It's more "they have this name, that goes with this fighting style." So decent fight sequences, good acting for the most part, pretty women, and of course, a lot of the same style of music for background. Along with the requisite sort of tragic romance theme running along. It also put me in the mood to go back and watch the original Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But I don't want to get my feels box broken tonight. I will say it's a damn shame there's no good English translations available for the original books both films were based on. I'm curious as to what the Crane-Iron Pentology comes across as. Edited February 28, 2016 by Raithe "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
