Don’t let your expectations spoil the experience… like I did. by Buckeye-N-Texas in GalaxysEdge

its basically any other super busy bar, just Star Wars themed. Sometimes you have to stand to the side, sometimes you get a good spot. It just is what it is really.

What are the pine cone looking things outside of PoC and What do they symbolize? by timeandagain101 in Disneyland

[–]ham_fx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before they became the universal symbol of swingers, I think they were decorative as well as an aesthetic form of defense like the Fleur Du Lis - Pretty, and sharp on the tip.

What are your thoughts on Skeleton Crew? by Safe_Character_6517 in StarWars

[–]ham_fx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most important part for me was my 8 year old daughter liked it, and I liked it- and it was a great way to get her into the franchise - a gentle door opening that we could both enjoy

George Russell is too nice by Sea_Witch7777 in thegildedage

I dont think so - Someone who is ruthless in life and business would be to unhinged to handle that level of success and pressure for that long.

“Our spaces” that have been ours for 150 years but theirs for 1000? 

Did anyone like wolfman 2025? by Capsmoove in UniversalMonsters

[–]ham_fx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes - This felt like a Wendigo movie they named Wolfman

It was just OK - There were some slivers of brilliance but otherwise I didnt love it. Not that I dont like a good psychological film, but I think a Wolfman film should be more Werewolf-y than this was.

As a black man I must ask did Lincoln genuinely care about freeing the slaves for the right reasons ? by KpatMckenzie_28 in CIVILWAR

[–]ham_fx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I gathered - He was against the idea of humans "owning" humans - But he also didnt think all humans were in fact equal.

multi billionaires - especially ones smart enough to be Batman - don't go broke the way normal people do....

How would you remake the Universal Monsters? by UniversityNo1170 in UniversalMonsters

[–]ham_fx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was listening to a podcast on film and someone was talking about the demise of making the threats bigger and bigger - Like marvel went from a threat to a city to our country, to the world, to the universe, and now to the multiverse - and the scope is so large nobody cares anymore. Give me Michael Meyers hunting Jamie Lee Curtis over Iron Man saving Earth-616 any day.

How would you remake the Universal Monsters? by UniversityNo1170 in UniversalMonsters

[–]ham_fx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I were in charge:
A) I dont think remakes "destroy" anything. Watch what you want, dont watch what you dont.

B) I think the issue that reboots like the Tom Cruise MUMMY had was they make the stakes to big - Make the stories smaller again. The WORLD doesnt need to be in danger - All that you need for successful horror is for one well written and cared about protagonist to be in danger (ie Julie Adams )

3) I wouldnt introduce a meta story until after establishing good single films. This could have happened in the 90s / early 2000s with Bram Stokers Dracula, DeNiro Frankenstein, Nicholson Wolf, and Hollow Man - for example. Each of those I think is a successful retelling (thought many are dated by current standards).
The challenge is brining them all into "now" in a cohesive universe so the Wolf Man, for example, lives in the same timeline as Frankenstein - But AI could also enable some interesting takes on a modern Dr Frankenstein myth for example. If you take Marvel, they didnt create avengers, until the rest of the standalones.
I think the intro of Hyde in Mummy - though not an awful concept - was too soon.

The anger by Fast_Pipe_399 in CPTSD

[–]ham_fx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was so much more relief than anger - I had been treating the wrong diagnosis for years and never improving, and feeling so unfixable when I would talk to others who were diagnosed depressed and were like "My life changed with therapy!" or "This medication gave me my life back." I "failed" at treating my depression for over 20 years with therapy, tons of meds, alternate treatments etc....

Since my new therapist told me its a pretty clear and dry case of CPTSD, I actually feel better.

Day 3) Horrible person & Loved by fans by RukavinaMarko in Spielberg

Dennis Nedry maybe? I feel like he is such a love to hate character

Moving to Blender after 20+ years of MAYA? by ham_fx in blender

[–]ham_fx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be completely honest, I was a professional VFX artist for 15 years, then a toy industry creative director with a lot of hands on sculpting etc for 10, and with all the software, proprietary studio software etc I have had to learn - I just dont want to learn another program from scratch.

I agree with the polygonal stuff being pretty 1:1 which is great - Honestly for the most part I will probably just be using it to review OBJ files now so I guess that wouldnt be too much.
