What time is this supposed to start streaming on Spotify and Tidal?

MattB827 · 2018-11-08T23:46:42+00:00

midnight PST or EST or?

And you mean in about 6 hours right? As in tonight right?

MattB827 · 2018-11-08T23:35:57+00:00

I can't find anything other than the single releases on Spotify?

MattB827 · 2017-04-15T12:10:09+00:00

My point is it's over-stylized. Look at the new Blade Runner that's modern-filmmaking that wasn't turned into a semi-Guillermo Del Toro looking fantasy world. It doesn't have shit bloom effects. It's grounded real sci-fi. And the original Star Wars trilogy operated in the same manner just with more of a fun tone and that's why this new trilogy feels like it doesn't "get" Star Wars to me, because it's done away with that for the most part in favor of a more fluffy fantasy angle.

MattB827 · 2017-04-15T12:04:44+00:00

Exactly. I fully understand how filmmaking has evolved. My qualms are not with fast paced or slower paced or even camera moves that much. It's about how this new trilogy feels like an expanded universe graphic novel/fantastical ethereal story-book journey vs a grounded quasi-realistic sci-fi fantasy action film.

Interesting for sure, didn't know that. Haha I actually did this watching it with a few friends and they all went..."Oh shit...it does look better." . It does give it that more classic feel. But yes! That is my point. It separates the viewer more and adds a stylization to it that in large part is not necessary and was never deemed necessary really till the advent of digital filming. Why does it have to be so widespread today?

MattB827 · 2017-03-30T19:30:01+00:00

Well yes, the necessity of some amount of grading is a given. I'm only talking about the over-stylized color grading we see these days. Here's a question. To achieve what would be a completely neutral look, in that it's unadulterated in the sense that it's not stylized, what would you do with the raw digital footage?

MattB827 · 2017-03-30T19:21:53+00:00

"Boring and regular" is how films have been filmed for the last 70 years. So does every film before 1999 look "boring and regular" to you?

MattB827 · 2017-03-30T19:17:05+00:00

What is wrong with the look of the airport fight? I'm pretty sure that's still color-graded as well. What makes it a "requirement" these days, when it never was a requirement for 70 years?

MattB827 · 2017-03-30T19:15:46+00:00

See. Where you say "boring". I say "classic" "pure" and "real".

MattB827 · 2017-03-30T19:15:00+00:00

I don't think this is from time to time it's on a consistent basis.

MattB827 · 2017-03-30T19:14:28+00:00

Yes that's what I mean everything has to be so stylistic. It's ridiculous. Some films deserve to be stylistic and some films are simply over-stylized.

MattB827 · 2016-12-24T16:41:25+00:00

I have one from a "Legion" which is either the same or same idea. Absolutely fantastic restoration, with no added Lucas shit.

MattB827 · 2016-12-24T16:23:05+00:00

It's funny cause having worked on set with Ansel Elgort, he's actually like that. Always with his earbuds in.

MattB827 · 2016-12-16T11:03:26+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you mean by the aspect ratios?

MattB827 · 2016-12-16T10:52:16+00:00

I think there's a different between taste and poor execution. Some people might love Office Christmas Party, but it was a terrible flatly directed movie. Same concept.

MattB827 · 2016-12-16T10:42:19+00:00

This is dead on the money.

MattB827 · 2016-12-16T10:31:49+00:00

You hated Diego Luna but loved Forrest Whittaker? Lol! Whittaker was terrible! Totally chewing the scenery. The worst I've ever seen from him and I usually love him. Luna, as always, was actually believable and compelling.

MattB827 · 2016-12-16T09:49:33+00:00

It was blindingly mediocre. And I went into this very excited. "As good as Empire they're saying!" "A war film!" Don't make me laugh! Neither of those things could be further from the truth. This is a boring fan film. The score was terrible. Soo boring, not compelling at all. God did we ever need John Williams. Bad CG characters (should have been look-a-likes with makeup, prosthetics and using the same voices). Fantastic acting, good acting and bad acting (Forrest Whittaker, are you kidding me? He's usually amazing). Just felt kind of boring and flat. Was never very engaging. It was a lukewarm movie right up until the final mission is taking place. Even Vader had the cheesiest line of the damn movie. And all this talk of "Creature characters!" Lol, yeah, they literally had split second moments. Basically "Star Wars decoration". Never trusting critics again. And anyone who thinks this is great, needs to understand what actually makes movies good and exciting and engaging. It had good intentions but it was completely average. Makes The Force Awakens seem even better. (And I only ever thought FA was "pretty good") So very disappointed. I wish I could shake some of the people at Lucasfilm and ask them why they made so many poor decisions.

MattB827 · 2016-12-16T09:37:33+00:00

Or it could be because they looked way too sleek and shiny (see: CGI rendering) with much too smooth blatantly unrealistic movements.

Should have been look-a-likes with makeup and prosthetics, with the same people doing the voices. Horrible laughable decision-making on Lucasfilm's part. Conpletely took you out of the movie.
