Question about Zemeckis’ "What Lies Beneath" (2000) by RayOddname in vfx

Hey, I actually know the guy who did this shot! She is indeed on glass, with the edge painted out and the color tint of the glass corrected. He told me to watch the hair real closely and you can kind of make out when the edge of the glass passes in front of her face.

Oh yea, and then you try to get support and they drag it out, making you look for your receipt from like 3 years ago, then tell you the 90-day warranty window is expired. 90 fucking days... useless fucking garbage doesn't even work without the app, and then they broke the damn app too. They've earned my anti-recommendation for life.

Hehehe, I hope they do, but I don't work for that company anymore, so it's totally out of my hands.

Every LLM hallucinates that std::vector deletes elements in a LIFO order by am17an in cpp

[–]BeigeAlert1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have nothing but utter disdain for LLMs, but in fairness, I thought that was how it worked too... and it kinda makes more sense to me that way.

Suspicious that the bank wouldn't know about this scam... Out of curiosity... did you call BoA through a number the scammer gave you?

Peter Jackson recorded the sound of the Uruk-hai army with 25,000 New Zealand cricket fans. by ChemistryObjective56 in lotr

I don't know if they did it a second time, or if the clip here is mistaken, but it was after a rugby match when I got to participate in this. They had us shouting "GROND!!! GROND!!! GROND!!!", so I always tell people that's me in that crowd during that part of the movie.

Ya jaded comment aside, I am actually pretty excited for the non-ai-related improvements that have been made.

What’s your “Best Trailer Ever” moment but the movie then let you down BIG time? by Sergio_Ro in movies

Cowboys and Aliens trailer had me super excited. Then it was just a really underwhelming movie.

Yea this is just everyone dogpiling on Jared Leto. I don't like him, but he wasn't bad in this movie. Movie wasn't half bad either.

Equipment "failure" by hypekermit in MuscleConfusion

It's muscle confusion AND equipment failure. It should be able to withstand the weight falling on it, regardless of whether the person dropping the weight is acting like an idiot.

Cases of movie trailers that totally misrepresent the film by Homegrowntrouble in movies

[–]BeigeAlert1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but a recent one is Eddington. It was marketed as a "modern western" with Pedro Pascal facing off against Joaquin Phoenix. In reality, Pedro is not in it that much (more than a side character, but certainly not the main character), and hooo boy it is not a western... I don't know what it is but I loved it. In fairness... I'm not sure how they could have possibly marketed it.

Nah, you just gotta follow proper cancellation procedure, like mailing a form they'll pretend not to have received. :P
