If you're ranting and raving about how other people's taste in entertainment is WRONG, maybe it's time to etc etc.

have we talked about the "empire are really the good guys and luke is a radicalized terrorist" theories yet? i read a few articles on the topic that i found provocative.

So apparently Stefan and Jean-Ralphio provided the vocalizations for BB-8.

apparently the local imax theater at the science center is one of eighteen theaters showing the force awakens in 70mm

μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 17 December 2015 16:50 (eight years ago) link

the 70mm upscaling process (for stuff not shot in 70mm) can make action scenes look really wonky ime as a 70mm projectionist

adam, Thursday, 17 December 2015 17:08 (eight years ago) link

yeah, i don't see the point of it for sumthin shot digitally.

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 17 December 2015 17:09 (eight years ago) link

this wasn't shot digitally iirc

Οὖτις, Thursday, 17 December 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link

shot on 35mm, yeah

circa1916, Thursday, 17 December 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link

part of the film was shot in 70mm imax format

μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 17 December 2015 17:12 (eight years ago) link

yup!

and plenty of films shot in 35mm look ace projected in 70mm

that said, i don't know what the digital post was like on this one... if it was in 4k, i'm not sure 70mm would matter too much. however for a film of this expense i imagine they could have gone full fincher and done post in 6k

Martin Shkreli yelled out a major spoiler as he was being arrested today and someone posted it on my FB today. im not even that hyped on the new Star Wars but it bummed me out. it was inevitable, though, since I probably won't be able to see it until 2016. i bet all the matinees are sold out for weeks.

3D didn't detract but didn't enhance to much either. There was 3D lens flare at one point. No post-credits sequence, in case you feel inclined to stick around through that stuff. Great movie.

My favourite working film critic really liked it (though his Abrams love has baffled me before):

What the "remix" reviews are missing, for me, is the overwhelming (in every sense of the world) sensation I got that this world had kept on existing just as it was since 1983, with the characters living on, messing their lives up, time passing just as in the real world, and only now did we somehow manage to find our way back to it, a return to neverland, more or less, tinged with the pathos of loss, of having grown up in the meantime, and yet it was there all along. We just didn't have access to it. It's a different kind of enchantment from the first trilogy precisely because it builds on that feeling of time and a world lost, but it does remember the importance of enchantment and captures it correctly.

Also, it's not just for old people like me - I saw it with my ten year old son and it was like he finally GOT Star Wars. Suddenly it wasn't merely a franchise of toys and games and old movies that his dad liked a lot a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. It became his world too, and this is his favorite movie in the world right now. It felt so good to be able to connect with him over this.
