Water it's blue because water absorbs all other colours except blue so that's what's reflected. Not the reflection of the sky, that's just moronic.

Not as moronic as the sky being blue because it's reflecting the oceans... where did that even start? I've heard it from so many people and I can't imagine who is teaching people this. It's probably our schools, to be honest...

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:People just hear "refraction" and its a short leap I guess. I doubt most of the people who think the sky is blue because it's reflecting the oceans know what refraction is. I get what you're saying, and for the small subset of people that are thinking up this explanation based on half-remembered things they learned, you might be right. I'm talking about people who straight-up think that the sky is reflecting the oceans, that's why it's blue. Out here in podunk missouri/illinois, I've encountered a bunch of people that think this. Someone is teaching it to them.

Common sense should take care of that the first time you notice a grey sky and blue water.

I want to start reading Dredd. Where should I begin? (I already started to read the comics in the chronological order of the release dates. Am I doing this wrong?)

If you can power through its awkwardness, you can read chronologically forward from there. If you need a different starting point, Case Files 2 and 5 are really good. If you do start with 5, be sure to read the first 4 shortly afterward.

Very well, I will give it a shot this way, now that you recommend it. If not, I'll give the other starting points a try. Thanks a bunch.

oohhboy posted:They might have well shot FR in Black and White since they almost eliminated every other colour. O/B is a super lazy way to make an image "Pop" because they are contrasting colours and people are a little orange hence the opposite is "Blue". It is almost universally a negative as it is done in post and only serves to destroy colour. It also has a nasty side effect of making CGI more obvious since it brings out mismatched elements because of the "Pop". There are good uses of Orange and Blue is when it is baked into the scene like in "Drive" or using unusual film stock in Three Kings. John Wick also does this well by enhancing only the blue so you don't have white people turn into Orange people and when orange does show up, there is a reason for it. The video game equivalent of this is the "brown" filter in an attempt to make everything gritty. The bluray will come with a black and white version. Not even kidding.

The best story is America, nothing's topped that. If you want to really get into Dredd, take the advice posted before.
