tangy yet delightful posted:Really liking that the person filming this decided they should keep pace with a semi that's about to explode when it hits the upcoming bridge and just hope that large pieces of death don't fly at their car. I know, that person should be doing journalism in war zones or something. Amazing dedication to getting the shot

I heard the term devolving in reference to someone dunking a basketball and getting a ring stuck on a net hook or something. Not sure if that was actually possible though

StrangersInTheNight posted:ok wait, i understand not eating sick animals bc they make you ill, but old animals do too? i thought that eating an old animal might not be as pleasing from a texture standpoint, but it can actually make you sick? Some fancy restaurants source retired dairy cows for their beef because they believe it has the best texture and flavour but I don't know if they would be counted as "old" or just older than normal slaughter age for cows

Alkydere posted:Yeah I'm pretty sure it's this. Though I'm still not entirely sure what the big deal is hiding every tiny little new crimp in the car's shell so the competitors can't see what new car model is gonna roll down the catwalk this year. Then again I guess I'm not a vehicular fashion designer. It's because all the cars in a given category pretty much look the same now and small details are the main points of difference

Ola posted:Makes you wonder why they don't have better prop guns and/or ammo. You don't need to make a big bang, you can make a big Hollywood muzzle flash in all kinds of safe ways. I think it was an Indy production so maybe they didn't have the budget to do muzzle flashes in post or the director wanted to get it all in camera or something.

Would regular people notice the difference though? *Edit* I get that the director would want as much realism as possible, just seems dangerous

There's bits of Melbourne where they tried a green coating over the asphalt for bike lanes, I think it was grippy to start with but became more slippery as it wore and it looks like now they've just decided to let it wear off completely

grittyreboot posted:For 20 year old films LOTR only has a few janky special effects in them, but they weren't made with HD in mind. I'm sure if you were to watch them on DVD on an old tube TV they'd look flawless. No clue why The Hobbits looked so careless. The production schedule was a total mess after they turfed Del Toro and threw out 18 months of pre production then turned 2 films into 3 and rushed the whole mess out without giving VFX enough time to do their job properly. I just watched that Lindsay Ellis series on YouTube about this yesterday when someone here linked it

Mister Speaker posted:It's stories like this that give me pause every time I get on an escalator or anything driven by big gears and chains like that. I'm suddenly reminded of that horrific story of a whole family that were killed while riding a whitewater rapids thing at some theme park. IIRC, their inner tube flipped over above one of the escalating devices, and the article used the phrase "masticated by the gears," which sticks with me. This was at Dreamworld in Australia. The report also used the phrase "injuries incompatible with life" iirc

axolotl farmer posted:I caught a glimps of Cameron's Avatar when the kid was watching it. The CGI was expensive, but drat it has aged poorly. It looks like they blue guys were rendered in the Morrowind engine or something. At the cinema, in 3d, when it was released, it looked really impressive It looks bad on TVs.

Last time we were north of Cairns checking into a hotel we were given a friendly notice that a large saltwater crocodile had been hanging around the beach for a few days. When we went down to see there was a sign like that and one with a chart of all the different kinds of local stingers from irukandji to box jellyfish. We swam in the pool.

Australia has no emissions standards and no regular safety inspections. You can drive around in any old piece of poo poo, we're a dumping ground for car models that companies can't sell elsewhere.

Wasabi the J posted:I'm pretty sure the cops chasing them are an indicator that it's unacceptable behavior. I went on this international youth camp thing in Thailand in the nineties. They transported us kids in 2 buses with armed police escorts in front and behind. Several times during the journey through a rural area outside of Bangkok the buses just used the wrong lane and the oncoming traffic just had to pull over or get out of the way however they could. Haven't thought about how weird that was in ages.
