  1. I really gotta stop posting here haha I waste too much time
  2. also @JamesCameronScholar http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6159156/?ref_=nv_sr_2
  3. ?????? what are you talking about hahah. I cut one shot out of a 5 minute scene hahah and the scene above is the ORIGINAL scene, so idk how you have such a string and violent opinion towards me or have any idea. Honestly stop. Seriously, don't make a fool of your self and label your self as Troll this early on in you BOT career. I definitely bitch about Marvelizing movies more than anyone on here, its my thing. And I also Love Jim Cameron the lord and Savor of the 3rd act bro. If you disagree thats fine, good haha Im not thinking for you or myself even, i'm just thinking about the audience. I don't think 11 seconds out of a 5 min scene even changes the tone or feel of the movie, it just gives it a tad more narrative focus to the normal movie goer.
  4. No it didn't have the same pacing or structure at all. Its 50 minutes longer. Blade Runner kicks the energy level up each act a tad. And the movie gains more thrust then 2049 ever does once Roy kills Tyrell. You get a trust that this is the end, the start of the 3rd act. Little stuff like this though out the whole movie. I have a Adobe project opened and im gonna reedit the movie Example of my cut is this 04:34 he washes the eye, then after looks down to a pan, check its, pulls back up. Then it cuts to him outside. its an 11 second shot I re edited it, he turns on the water, washes the eye, turns the water off, BOOM cuts to him outside (which is the next shot after the long 11 seconds look at a pan anyways) I saved 11 seconds and the movie plays EXACTLY the same way, you loose nothing as an audience member. You wouldn't know the difference but I feel like it gives the movie far more rhythm, pace, keeps the audience more engaged.
  5. Might as well bring back everyone who got shot once in he head, you can survive that too. I will throw in the towel before seeing it if common is back, yell at me all you want. A bullet to the head is a 95% chance of death thanks to google a stab to any part of the heart area is a 90% chance of death. If John Wick didn't tell the mother fucker I stabbed you down the middle of your heart. and he just stabbed him in the chest sure, he can come back. But thats not what happened. Whatever though, its not like it matters hahah I wont care ten seconds later if the fight is cool. Im no doctor. so its fine, why do I care even? You guys win.
  6. Now that this is out on Blu-Ray I can admit I thought this movie was gorgeous but kinda boring as fuck haha. Poor editing, no reason it needed to be that long. Pretty much every scene could have been cut 10 seconds. But im glad lots of people loved it. its still solid, but no Blade Runner 1 and not really for me. Still gonna buy the Blu ray.
  7. He got stabbed through the heart. its IN his heart, There is no way to repair that. And he smiles but then settles. And no part of his body movie but his head kinda. Figured he always used his last breath to smile like damn he got me. Common being in the next one, that would be stupid as fuck. You can't survive a knife stuck in your heart anywhere. Thats would be jumping JW movie logic for me into the fuck that I don't buy the tone zone.
  8. He died, he clearly slumps to lifeless death at the end of the scene after Wick walks out. And it was strapped through his heart. This isn't Kingsman.
  9. Kids are growing up in a world and learning the VAULE of things, how much things cost. Growing up and being TAUGHT since birth Coffee cost 5 bucks a day yet. unlimited movies for your life cost 10 a month. Is just flat out AWFUL for society in general. The value of a having a TRILLION DOLLARS worth of content at your fingers is going to be seen as only being worth the price of a dozen donuts. Thats a fucking JOKE. but people are just gonna be raised with that INGRAINED in there head. You guys all look way to short term. Im thinking 20-30 years down the line. were killing the life spans of cinemas but decades. If 10 bucks a month becomes the norm. Then people assume thats what its wroth. Honestly I think you're a duck human being if yo think unlimited content is only valued at the price of 2 lattes. Also more to my point. The thing is Disneyland attendance is WAY WAY UP since 2004. The resort pulls in 28m in 17 now compared 17m in 04. But guess what, the average guest gets on 2.5 LESS rides. So people gladly pay 3x more for less entrainment . people are willing to pay soooooo much for no fucking reason because thats just how it is, people thing what are you gonna do. That just what it costs. There is no social barter. A drink cost 3 bucks, again thats everywhere there no social barter. I don't know one restaurant that gives free soda. People know they are over paying, but they "can't" do anything about it so they accept it. The movie industry needed to play that game. They are big pusses and constantly under cut and sell one another. Should have straight up ignored it. Kept charging what they charged. Companies like Netflix don't care or think about whats good for the future of the art form, they care about making the most money in the short run.
  10. Its simple do you think the years, time and effort to make movie should cost less than a Coffee? If you do, why do even post on these forums!?????
  11. Also The music thing IS NOT the same. Thats the WHOLE issue. More people worked on just creating the new soundtrack for The Last Jedi then people who worked in the new Kendrick Lamar album. That album took 1/300th (probably more) of the effort it takes for a movie to be made. Songs are 3-4 minutes!!!! It only takes a few people to make a song and have it sound as professional as possible these days. Songs are free but that doesn't matter, that drive you to want to see them in concert. Songs are basically advertisements for there shows/brand. Movies don't work that way. The whole industry will implode. We cant sustain paying below the line workers on movies a living wage if this happens, unless actors and shit stop getting paid millions. Editors on blockbusters movies only make like 100k - 200k thats not much at all for a MAJOR skill job that only X amount of people can even do. And Its a full year of work. Grips work on 2/3 movies a year and bring in 50 - 80k a year but then again they work 14 hour days all week. Assistants in hollywood make like 100 - 250 a day for again 14 hours of work on movies. Honestly you cant start paying these people less. Its impossible. Shit I only made 18k last year dog. Again its not a song/album, its a MOVIE. 1,000 of people work on one MOVIE not 3 dudes pushing buttons on Ableton or logic.. and most are regular workers making 30 - 40k a year. How can you employ 1,000s of people if you're only wiling to spend 2 bucks? Could a baseball stadium pay all its staff selling hot dogs if tickets were 2 dollars? Just having an on set medic which is a law that cost money, police have to present for shooting on location, fire fighters if any stunt is involved. No extra people are needed to make a beat in a computer. Feeding 4 dudes in a room is a lot easier than feeding 150 on set day in and day out. Making a movie is NOT like any other art form. Its like building a Hotel from scratch from the ground up. But harder because the amount of capable work force is WAY WAY smaller Also the food argument is a bull shit one. Thats a choice. You dont need to pay 15 bucks for food to survive. People are willing to pay 15 buck for a chicken breast when you can buy 10 frozen breasts for 8 bucks at the store. I didn't spent more than 12 bucks on a meal more than 4 times in 2017. Again its mindset thing and people are wrong. How people can justify buying something for 5x the price. but then complain about a movie. Soda can cost like 25% yet a soda is 3 bucks. people complain about the movie then buy a 6 dollar slurrppe. UMMMMM hello. if you wanna save money don't spend 6 bucks on something that cost 2 dollars at 7/11. I mean people gladly get ripped the fuck off every single DAY. Yet complain when 1,000 try and bring happiness to them for 2 hours. Shit they charge 15 bucks for one ride on a 4 million dollar rollercoasters at a pier but again movies are expensive. The Disney comparisons. It cost 42 bucks to go to Disneyland in 2003. its 120 bucks now. So the value of a Disneyland trip is is worth 3 times what it used to be but a movie is worth less!? Everything the customer wants is NOT always right. Just cause you wanna pay something doesn't mean you should. The Value of movies is going down and down every year. Yet the value of everything else is more. Why does art have to take a hit? Movies have been more constant with inflation, its more or less with hourly wage on how much a movie cost. The same cant be said for 95% of goods and services. So yes, @Jandrew I don't think you have any reason to complain. You post on a damn movie site every day and yet you still complain. If you feel that way then the industry is already on its death bed. All your post does it make excuses on why people shouldn't care about cinema or movies or why is less important. Right there is the issue, you just said its not worth your time or money as much as those other things. Edit: But yes @Jandrew I still love you and you're welcome anytime over to my place if you're in LA haha im also arguing against something that brings me closer to what I love (movies) so lol
  12. Exactly my point. Ive lived on my own for 4 years. Ive never ordered a soda once haha. I get free water. But then my buddy who payed 18 bucks for his meal and drink walks over to the theater after and bitches at the price. Its like shut up.
  13. I have a movie pass I love it. but I hate it for the industry and would vote against it. Honesty people who complain about movies being expensive are my least favorite people in the world. Name anything else that give you 2 hours of entertainment for 13 bucks when you're out and about. A mixed drink at a club in LA cost 15 bucks!!! its only gonna go up, yet 10 years from now people are going to fully expect 6 billion dollars worth of content at there hands at all times any time for 10 bucks a month. Im sorry but movies take years to make and 1,000s of people to make its a fucking joke to me that people assume this should cost $2 bucks. if we keep up, not only are we going to keep striking budgets for non blockbuster movies, but we will start getting less blockbuster movies and lower budgets alllllll around there too. No movie in 20 years is going to even attempt to "Push" tech like Jurassic Park or Star Wars or Avatar because why? People will expect it for free or in a bundle. The return if box office wont be high enough to ever put that effort into things again. We are killing the industry as fast as possible. A beer is 6-8 bucks a cheeseburger is 12 bucks at a restuarant mini golf is like 45 minutes and cost 10 bucks concerts cost 100 bucks for 3 hours + 2- bucks parking Disneyland cost 120 bucks for 12 hours + 20 bucks parking For fucks sake a SODA at a restaurant is 3 DOLLARSSSSS. You can buy a 12 pack for 4-5 bucks at Ralphs! Yet that same person complains on spending 10 bucks for movie. Get outta here. not allowed.
  14. TOM CRUISEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is a mother fucking beasttttt even if his last two movies were his worst two films in his whole career.
  15. Word on the street is, its awful. Someone on these forums went to a test screening 3 months ago (they like everything) said it was near unwatchable not only though
  16. Nothing to do with him being a dick or not, he kinda seems like it, but I will say. Its hollywood people get paid. This type of stuff happens everywhere ALL the time, I see it in promos even. Spike Lee just played A major network ( probably shouldnt say) for fools with us on our job, my boss said it was hilarious and that when the Network agreed to his deal spike lee straight up died laughing in his seat saying he couldn't believe how easy that was (actually a really funny story, no one has ever made 250k extra more easily than spike lee did, spike took advantage of the Network not the other way around) He has never put any less effort into shooting or caring about anything ether lol. Budget was 2.5 times larger because of spike's lack of care. If you can get a muti billion dollar company to give you millions with barley any effort, why not. The Farley brothers got paid like 1m bucks for 2 day shoot only to fuck it up so bad and do barley any effort they had a regular 10k a day promo director reshoot it. budget over doubled. They get paid the same. Thats how lots of people see it out here. Its not a person giving you money, its some random cooperation, they don't feel like they are screwing someone over. Honestly if you found out how much all these actors and directors get paid for shit and what there contracts look like you'd probably think 95% of people are assholes.
  17. Janusz Kaminski interview, its great, actually some proper tech and lighting technique talk. http://collider.com/janusz-kaminski-interview-the-post-steven-spielberg/#ready-player-one
