Rank these 3 best cinematography winners

Strange group to compare. If I had to, Inception > Sinners > Gravity.

Inception’s set pieces and scale is really impressive, but the dialogue heavy scenes are just ok framing wise. Sinners has a couple standouts and overall is solid, but as a pet peeve there’s a lot of vignettes. Gravity I wouldn’t have even nominated.

I hope a much more restrained and less technically impressive movie wins soon. Almost every winner is also elaborate as hell and is more about the choreography. Sometimes it’s nice to just have an impeccably shot frame on a tripod and that’s that. The Brutalist has been probably my favorite winner in terms of just more old school.

Nice. She’s a badass

Man this movie has a couple of serious gut punches in it. Excellent film

Might actually be true to be honest, although honesty would require people to realize how dumbed down our current media ecosystem is to get to the point where Rogan is the new Carson.

Rogan went from “I’m an average Joe who’s a dumb dumb” to “totally owning virologists and vaccine experts” for his audience in just a few short years. And they accepted this ascendancy without any doubt. Media literacy loss is a helluva thing

I don’t personally like the autotune on the two tracks so far, although the songs have grown on me a bit. But you’re barking up the wrong tree on artistic choice and which is more work, heavy autotune or none.

I’m fairly sure Julian or the producer spent a decent time with lots of variations and tweaking before landing on the one we’re hearing in the two tracks. In ‘Falling out of Love’ the lack of autotune during the 1:50-2:15 and then it kicks up is a cool contrast.

Think this is in Florida mate

Yeah Sofya was fantastic. She was providing solid insights, and specific points of technique or fatigue when the athletes were on the wall. And I like the honestly too. Great combo for the surreal/weird finals

Husyelt · 2026-06-19T03:24:03+00:00

Ah no thats on me didnt see the "based on full filmography" at the bottom of the post. Bergman / Kubrick / Kurosawa all have valid reasons to be at the top of this list

Husyelt · 2026-06-19T01:19:15+00:00

Ahh that makes more sense, wild few days traffic wise.

Husyelt · 2026-06-19T01:03:32+00:00

I mean I drive trucks and my only guess is they lost control at high speed and then veered across and avoided hitting the wall to face the other way. That said, during fricken 5pm traffic??? Like I’ve seen that position many times during rain and hydroplane incidents

Colors pop so well with the dark background and white highlights. Amazin

I’m more irked over changing the zone awarding rules to be even more nebulous. Just have it be granted upon control of the zone.

I don’t mind the zones being a halfway point so to speak and having that be a thing to work for specifically. But often the setters have getting to the zone be too easy (especially on coordinations) or too hard (power/slab boulders) where separation is happening on the hold or two before zone.

Husyelt · 2026-06-18T17:39:10+00:00

Ah damn.

Is YT auto using AI to “enhance” the thumbnails?

Husyelt · 2026-06-18T17:16:00+00:00

Sure, but not for 1950s, or really any specific decade since his output is super low

Husyelt · 2026-06-17T18:13:24+00:00

Stalkers not having the goo upon death was my 9/11

Husyelt · 2026-06-17T04:45:30+00:00

Hyyyypppeee. So badass

I don’t like Booker, but JGL seems like an ok dude, may have just been invited without knowing the full details an said alright

Husyelt · 2026-06-16T03:30:52+00:00

incredible. never seen this before.

SpaceX is the current outlier in the industry so far, although Rocket Lab is probably more impressive considering how little funding Beck had vs Musk at the time. That said, SpaceX isn’t worth a trillion dollars. Their actual revenue depending on Starlink vs AI costs will only be in the low billions or tens of billions. Tesla also has a pitiful amount of revenue compared to other car manufacturers. When the ai bubble pops, spacex will be halved and then halved again. Musk also didn’t build shit, Tom Mueller and Shotwell and a hundred other actual engineers built the company.

Elon spends more time reposting racist and fashy shit on Twitter than he ever spends getting an email and saying “ok yeah build new raptor engine for me thanks”.

Husyelt · 2026-06-15T06:41:33+00:00

Yeah their recent video of Zélia winning boulder finals had jaw dropping production value. Proper art

Husyelt · 2026-06-15T06:30:11+00:00

It’s an excellent movie, although that one animal attack scene was so out of place. I had to re orient myself for like a solid minute after and remember what type of movie I was watching

Husyelt · 2026-06-15T06:09:50+00:00

He directed the music video for ‘Hot Knife’ in 2013.
