mixed 3D and 2D is always jarring because it's so aesthetically inconsistent it gives whiplash. The only exception for this is an art direction that justifies the use of mixed media to make things more interesting, but this was just a cheap stopgap because drawing walk cycles was too hard, apparently.

The funny part is that a huge chuck of todays' in-between animation work for Japanese Anime Studios is actually outsourced to China (and Korea).

Is this the thread where I can admit I'm excited for China to take over pop culture, because American pop culture sucks? https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/9/1...ravity-the-core

Sadly the bourgeois-colonial films of 1970s-1990s Hong Kong were far superior to modern Chicom films, being some of the best films ever made. I'm legitimately sad that the Hong Kong New Wave-era is gone and never coming back.

It'll be nice to have epic sci fi films again that don't depend on the ultimate solution being some bullshit like love or family. All good Western scifi is way too limited in scope compared to only a few decades ago.

The one good recent American sci-fi film, Annihilation, was good because it emulated Soviet cinema.

Looking over the list of sci fi movies that came out recently, Prospect looks like it could be good but I hadn''t seen or heard of it before. It really is just a dire state in media, and anything good that comes out isn't available for at least half of the country. I'd have to go on a road trip just to see The Wandering Earth in a theater.

It's not just "superficial" similarities to Stalker, but tonal and subtextual similarities to not only Stalker but Solaris as well, and Soviet science fiction in general. * (I assume those were shoehorned in by the studio because Americans are dumber than Russians)

I saw a movie where this girl wished her brother wasnt her brother cuz he was a dick and then her brother became this other girl's brother and she realized how important he was and that he was just trying to protect her family or something, and he got her a bike. It was really cute and I enjoyed it, strongly recommend.

Graphic posted:If you remove the stupid interludes where Portman is explaining what happened to the government scientist*, it's basically a Tarkovsky movie. There's one scene in Solaris in which a group of scientists and functionaries interviews a pilot who has flown above the sea of Solaris, in which he accounts for a strange vision or mirage, apart from that I don't think they are very similar. (The scene in question.) I can't think of a single thing Annihilation and Stalker have in common except for the mysterious zone, and the protagonists quests to the centre of it. How they enter, what they encounter as they progress, and what exists in that centre is wildly different. Not to speak of formal questions such as editing and framing. I haven't seen Annihilation since it was released so maby I'm forgetting something?

Actually a big sign that cinema is in trouble is that Chinese film schools are moving over to study hollywood films and systems and giving up studying the soviets and their films. I mean it makes sense to give up the soviet model but the hollywood model is kinda incompatible with chinese film making so it's gunna be a mess for a long time

like how theater was once a medium of the masses and now it's for affluent shut ins, that's what cinema is gunna end up as. I guess like fine art and orchestral music did as well. It's lost its capability to reach people forever. That's why there's festivals and then there's distribution But it's good entertainment so it'll live on in that form. Much like orchestral music lived on in film. But no more human expression, dear me no
