Yeah, it’s the same thing with Adventure Time too right? I think they’re like…8 minute episodes or something crazy, even there are almost 300 episodes.

Yeah but does the White Lotus have any full penetration or outrageous sexual experiments??

I love the idea of inoculuations. One of the grossest scenes in TV history is in John Adams where they take some oozing pus and inject it into children.

Yes, but are Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Wilmer Valderama and Laura Prepon all available?

I was wondering why you omitted Mila Kunis from that list and then I remembered that she died at the end of the original series.

That's a tragedy.

All of this talk about replacing practical gun effects with post-processing always makes me think of those god awful TWD shots like:

Eh, I mean, it's not that it's unrealistic...it's that it doesn't really have any physics at all, I would say. It's more like a Fast and Furious car chase where the drivers are just sort of sitting straight up in their seats while they take hairpin turns at 60 mph, or a fist fight where people are getting "punched" and providing zero feedback, you know?

They dragged that safe around without their cars being split in two. Inertia works differently in the FF universe.

The last movie where Tyrese keeps saying "how are we not dead? How is this possible?" is hilarious, like at this point his character has become self-aware that he's become a superhero in a series of movies and is not real.

I would gladly take all on-screen guns firing like this if it meant eliminating the use of CGI gunshot wounds/blood and going back to actual squibs.

Whaaaaaaaaat you don't like this?

Here's a fun unwritten studio S&P rule: special effects squib loads with blood packets (blood hits) are a mandatory R/TV-MA rating, special effects squib loads with powder (dust hits) with visual effects (cgi) blood can be PG-13/TV-14 however.

Interesting, any particular reason for the disparity in ratings? Is it because of how fake the CGI effects can look by comparison? That's the only thing that I can think of, but I'm not even sure that would make sense.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:

The only argument for using live rounds (blanks) is that the recoil is more realistic and I am just shocked that no one has made fake guns with a spring-loaded weight in the barrel to simulate the recoil.

Like, that couldn’t take a prop crew a day to make, right?

Not to go down a rabbit hole, but since this whole thing with Rust just happened, it seems like there are a zillion airsoft firearms that use "green gas" (I guess it's lower pressure than CO2 gas or something?) to operate. They look realistic enough, are cheap, can't fire bullets, and can even eject fake "shells". It doesn't seem like there's a good reason to use actual firearms nowadays.



There, close enough--throw some fake CGI muzzle flash on it and call it a day.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't The Newsroom the show that starts with a speech that involves Boomer-rear end Jeff Daniels shouting at a college student--people who potentially weren't even old enough to vote in the most recent election--about how "kids these days" are, in fact, the shittiest generation and how everything loving sucks and, surprise twist, the U.S. isn't really all it's cracked up to be, and somehow that's because you young people are loving idiots?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and he throws out some very dubious facts, like how the U.S. is "178th" in the world in infant mortality. What?

EDIT 2: Yeah here it is:

quote:

None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are
without a doubt, a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period.

Yeah gently caress that idiotic show.
