Henchman of Santa posted:Isn't like everyone in the comics dead by now except Rick and...Andrea maybe? When I flipped through a recent comic earlier this year, I saw Rick, Carl, Andrea and Micchone were still alive. Andrea is dead on the show, and Darryl was never meant to be as long lasting as he has. I'm pretty sure he's a TV only character and Kirkman wanted to kill him off on the show several times now.

The arguably fair counterpoint is that what he's saying and he's demonstrating is useful and true, even if the conditions he's currently in are bullshit. That said, I prefer Survivorman.

Lava fields, both fresh and old, are treacherous and in a survival situation, there's isn't really a compelling reason to cross one.

I've only seen half a dozen Grylls episodes, but each one had behaviour which would have guaranteed the death of anyone actually trapped in that situation. Couldn't even watch them to laugh at them they were so crap. He's definitely well spoken and charismatic, but his shows are all flash and no substance.

Jedit posted:Sophia is also still alive, she just lives in a different settlement to Rick and Carl so doesn't appear often. I read conflicting stories as to why she died early in the show. One was that the actress couldn't handle it, and the other said she was hitting puberty so they had to get rid of her. Same as Game of Thrones. Sorry, did anyone think Jon Snow was really and truly dead forever? I bet HBO wanted him back the first episode of the new season. Him, Dany, and Tyrion are loving bulletproof. So is Arya. While they started out as cool characters, now it's just blah, I wonder what side character will get it while the main four move on to great things and yawn. It always bothered me that they cut out a few key scenes. The Tysha revelation in season 4, and any criticism of Rhaegar to Dany courtesy of Selmy. In the books he still sang praises of the rear end in a top hat, but he did have some moments where he was "well, yeah, Dany, he was a great warrior but not that smart and he did hurt his wife a lot and shamed her and....yeah."

It's getting to the point where reality shows don't even care how staged it is. I'm a horrible person that watches poo poo like Gold Rush and Ax Men and it's absurdly blatant on them. Gold Rush had these previews of Parker's truck going off the road. When time for the scene came sure enough his truck loses traction and careens off the road. Right at a camera. Like, how exactly did they know where to have a camera for a totally not staged car accident? How lucky! A few seasons back on Ax Men they were pushing a war between two rival logging factions, and one dude drove his truck through the other's camp. Second dude gets pissed, grabs his loader and tosses the guy's truck off the edge of a cliff. Even ignoring the fact that this would probably warrant jail time, it's pretty clear in the shot that the drive line was cut and the truck was empty of anything and everything inside it. Yet I can't stop watching this poo poo. I'm part of the problem.

I thought the shakycam worked in the first Bourne film because he doesn't know how he is loving the mooks up he's just acting on muscle memory and has no idea how the hell he knows how to do any of that stuff so the camerawork being confusing is appropriate because it reflects his mental state. In all the other films it added nothing.

The average shot is like 4 seconds long and it's all handheld. I know I'm not the only one complaining about the camera in that movie. It was done much better in Ultimatum.

It started in the second film, the first just sped up the footage to make it look like a superhero punched a bunch of cops in the dick and stole their guns. "Shakey Cam" was introduced by Paul Greengrass and was probably the movie that made it popular in mainstream cinema. Problem is, It was cool in Bourne because of how it was used, not so much in most of its other applications.

So many fight scenes are shot horrendously. Those Taken scenes are unwatchable. I mean, I know they have to cover up for the fact that they probably have a stuntman who looks and moves nothing like Liam Neeson, but still they shouldn't need so many cuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1PCtIaM_GQ&t=118s

The thing is that they don't even need to show it in the first place. Have him run up to the cyclone fence, grab hold of it and put one foot up. Cut, move to next scene. If the audience can't figure out what happened next, odds are they're too stupid to understand the actual plot, too. Also, that Jackie Chan clip really does a great job of showing just how much a difference good editing can make.

Too bad there's only one Jackie Chan in the world per lifetime. Also, if the fight scenes in the Bourne movies were done like Jackie Chan then it would be pretty disappointing. Bourne isn't about flash, he's about brutal efficiency.

Sometimes it is used very successfully to communicate the wildly disorienting adrenaline dump that anyone who's been in a fistfight will recognise. Sometimes it;s just a fig leaf for poor fight choreography. I think both Saving Private Ryan and the battle episode in the last season of Game of Thrones were phenomenal for how they combined perspectives. SPR had the slow tracking shots focusing on each characters face mixed with first-person shakycam beach-storming action. GoT had the incredibly composed balletic slow-mo cavalry and aerial shots, interspersed with the suffocating chaos of first-person and brutal hand-to-hand stuff shot in closeup.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Why can you not stop watching?? Sometimes poo poo is so so bad you watch because you can't imagine how worse it can get. Me, I was pushed to read a comic called Harbourmaster, by a friend who told me it started out slow but got really good. Okay, some shows and books are like that. Okay, cool, aliens, a touristy town, giant sentient bugs. Sounds cool. But the entire story revolves around a white guy who, despite being on this planet for 20 years, barely interacts with the culture. And then there's all this allusion to some Big Family Fight between the other aliens (which is never ever explained, only talked about vaguely every other arc). And slowly the cool bugs get phased out for more human-looking aliens sitting around and talking. Oh, and there was a huge war 30 years ago with super evil shapeshifter Darwinist aliens...and surprise, there's a few of them left, but they're Super Lawful Good now, and all this is being kept from Generic White Guy. The last arc had him being attacked by one of those aliens, but before he could actually do anything, he gets saved by the other author favorites, and knocked out before he knows what is happening. It's literally build up to something awesome, some real confrontation....only to bow down. Every loving time. It gets more boring every week but I can't stop reading because I can't figure out just how the author is going to top herself with the poo poo writing and worse sci-fi science, and how much more Mary Sue the characters can get. I guess it's kinda how some people can watch the StarWars prequels because they know it's poo poo but they watch it because every time they do, they are amazed at how bad it is.

I guess it annoys me in Bourne movies because Bourne is a really skilled, methodical killer. He moves quick but it's not out of panic and disorientation and chaos like soldiers dumped on the beaches of Normandy. SPR shows you the shaky cam to immerse you in the characters and what they're feeling. Bourne shows you the shaky cam because STUFF IS MOVING SO FAST NOBODY CAN KEEP UP!!!

That right there is exactly what my problem was with Mythbusters. I bitch about that show a lot in TVIV, but mainly because I really did like it and it was so sorely let down by a few massive flaws. One was the editing. The other was the build team. For the final season they kicked out the build team and toned down the schizoidal editing and it was the best season of the show in a decade.
