It's kind of funny that this is the second time he's tried to tell this story and both times it was suggested he 'move on to other things'.

Watching the unnaturals on Netflix. Shows kind of nuts. Good cast. 2 episodes in glad it’s apparently been renewed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI1JGPhYBS8 I liked his Dawn of the Dead and hopefully he won't get all high falutin about the artistic merit of his zombie movies like he does with his comic stuff. Dunno about "zombies are orcs now" but I guess we'll see

Cheers was remastered in HD back in 2001 actually and I know it's been available on streaming services for quite awhile. It first aired in HD on HDNet in 2010. https://archive.vn/20120905211554/http://www.kodak.com/country/US/en/motion/newsletters/inCamera/oct2001/cheers.shtml It was actually done before the CBS/Paramount split. After that happened, CBS was less inclined to do remasters. Maybe now that they are back together something will move forward. Yes, I know Cheers aired on NBC, but it's a Paramount show. It is crazy to think about though that Cheers was remastered in HD 20 loving years ago. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Apr 14, 2021 |

Started Columbo and just wondering if the 70s looked old as poo poo to people at the time or is the b-roll of primitive times was like shiny-and-new to them. The latter makes sense for most eras, but seems like the 70s leaned really hard in looking like old poo poo. poo poo from the 50s and 60s look newer than anything from the 70s.

For one thing, you have to figure on how loving polluted the air was in the 70s. That certainly makes things look older and run down. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/12/smog-photos-1970s-america/

I used to hate watching 70s poo poo because it always looked so disgusting and lovely and batshit, but now I really dig it for some reason. There’s something really appealing (?) about the clash of played out late-60s design leftovers with the polluted malaise of 70s reality. Even the people look worn down and schlubby, which makes sense given what society had gone through in the 60s and would continue to go through in the 70s. It’s great, it’s like instant no-effort character for your setting.

The '70s was also a time when a lot of people became disillusioned with the world around them. It shows in a lot of the pop culture of the time. The disillusionment with the idyllic life also lead to a big jump in consumerism which lead in turn to a lot of cheap poo poo being made.

I like how everything, even the "nice" stuff just looks like cheap garbage in the 70's. I'm not just talking about the standard wood paneling that was on most walls. Need a cabinet door? We're not even going to hide that it's just a plain piece of plywood, oh and we're just going to use a curtain if it's for the space under the sink

zoux posted:Did they start shooting on tape in the 70s or was that later. Later. Also most shows still shot on film all the way through until they transitioned to digital (they were just edited on video.) The exception to that being things like soap operas or talk shows. Iron Crowned posted:I like how everything, even the "nice" stuff just looks like cheap garbage in the 70's. I'm not just talking about the standard wood paneling that was on most walls. It was really the start of the mass production disposable age and they really didn't figure out how to fake good looking cheap stuff yet.

also kinescopes used to be a thing, too -- filmed on video, but had a copy shot on film by pointing a film camera at a studio monitor. as a matter of fact, that's how goodson/todman managed to keep their back library from the 50s

Trying to watch Chad, but it’s such hard work. It’s impossible to feel any sympathy for a character with zero redeeming qualities. Also having the vicar from This Country play the Iranian uncle is… a choice.

Gene Hackman Fan posted:also kinescopes used to be a thing, too -- filmed on video, but had a copy shot on film by pointing a film camera at a studio monitor. Yeah, but in the US at least that was usually something relegated to pre-50s broadcasts. Kinescopes were usually used to preserve live broadcasts. Non-live TV production transitioned to film in the US pretty quickly in the early 50s (I Love Lucy basically set the standard). In the UK though, they mostly recorded stuff on video tape through the 60s and later and then wiped and reused it because it was expensive. So most surviving copies of British stuff through the 60s were kinescope copies made by foreign affiliates for rebroadcast in their countries.

Paramount+ has Salute Your Shorts, but only the same 10 episodes that have been on Amazon Prime for years https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/salute-your-shorts/ I read somewhere that the masters were destroyed in storage, which would be a loving travesty

Going to fancy restaurant to get a giant bucket of ice with a half dozen raw strawberries poked in it, this is cuisine!! edit: Holy poo poo, the murder scene in the second episode of Columbo is incredible. I love this style, no gore or annoying scream, but you still get the idea of the murder and then we're focused on the killer's face, separate scenes of the aftermath montage taking place entirely on his loving 70s rear end rectangle glasses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1rLbO6RcCg Khanstant fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Apr 15, 2021 |
