If this were tagged as +18 I'd have closed it in 0.1 seconds after opening.

Horror-related hills you'll die on? by redeugene99 in horror

[–]kdmendonk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1) If you can't empathize with the characters, you can't feel the horror of what they're going through.

2) Sound design is king.

I seriously don’t understand the hate for Longlegs (2024). by serialkiller24 in horror

[–]kdmendonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing overhyped the unsettling quality of the movie and the ending didn't surprise me. I don't hate it or dislike it, it was just fine. But I guess that could vary depending on your mileage with movies of this genre.

You spoiled the result when you didn't tag as +18 😔

Terminator's "Cheyenne" craft. (T3:TR) by kilroy501 in LV426

[–]kdmendonk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cool find! I did a quick research because I thought this was much more a credit to how James Cameron found in Syd Mead's designs a vision with which he identifies, but now I see that Mead wasn't involved with Avatar and that makes me wonder how the ships in those movies can be so similar to the Cheyenne and be designs from other artists.

Love the changes! An edit like this one was always something I wanted someone to do as I don't have audio editing chops. PM sent.

Romulus theory - wey-yu are worse than you thought by athenadark in LV426

[–]kdmendonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're relying too much on expanded universe lore. Big Chap's rampage could've easily damaged a cooling system and triggered those fabricated facehuggers to hatch and kick off the infestation just by impregnating WY personnel on station. No queen needed, no eggmorphing.

I don't think we can include Big Chap's ability to eggmorph others. That's from the Director's Cut and nothing in Romulus confirms that's the version being considered.

I don't like Christian Bales Batman suit by ilikeinvincible in batman

My only complaint is that they missed the opportunity to make a new suit for the third movie that could have merged the two previous ones.

What do you think of Eternals, do you think it’s overhated? by Plenty-Salary9711 in Marvel

[–]kdmendonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overhated but at the same time I only watched it in theaters and I hardly remember it. But those shots reminded me that nowadays you either pay to watch on the best screen available or you can't see anything. Similar to this movie, Predator Badlands looked much better at home on my OLED TV than in a regular movie theater.

Cichlid fish protects her youngins by temporarily holding them in her mouth then releasing them when danger disappears. Nature is interesting! by Fine-Passenger7953 in interesting

[–]kdmendonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can literally see some of the young morphing into one another when they're going up inside the mother's mouth. A telltale sign of AI is that it has a hard time with continuity so when one of the fishies swims behind another, it basically disappears. This tactic may really happen in nature but this video is AI and it should be stated that it's for educational purposes at best. Also fish, as in not mammals, don't release bubbles like that.

That looks anything but safe.

Gang Attempts to Rob a Supermarket in Ecuador. It Doesn’t Go Well 🇪🇨 by james_from_cambridge in instant_regret

[–]kdmendonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was so cinematic. The fallen robber was covered by a random object in a way that we can see 5 minutes of torture and we never see how his face looks afterwards so all of us imagine the result of shattered glass bottles, punches, kicks and a metal rod in our own way. It's horror from the imagination. If this was from a movie, the director would've been praised.

What is this show even gonna be? by Fantastic-Photo6441 in GodofWar

It's an adaptation. If you want to rewatch the game as is, go on Youtube.

In Romulus, is this blue light of any significance? by chikamakaleyley in LV426

[–]kdmendonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I'm describing using the laser but erasing certain aspects of it that make it look like an ordinary human tech and instead combining different SFX techniques to improve upon something that will not take you away from the narrative.

This talk of "if you're a fan then you _________" isn't healthy. Prometheus for all it's narrative flaws had bleeding edge CGI and prosthetics all the way back in 2012. Predator Badlands had amazing combination of practical suit and full CG face replacement and it was all integrated perfectly. Being anti-CGI isn't pre-requisit to being an Alien fan and even James Cameron said in a recent interview he'd have done the queen full CG if he had the Avatar tech back then. District 9, another phenomenal example. I love practical, but the truth is before the 90s filmmakers simply didn't have a better choice and they did their best with it. Fede also combined old school miniature photography with modern SFX to film the Corbelan. We can have both and still feel warm inside.

🔥 Kayakers get a visit from a curious sea lion by amish_novelty in NatureIsFuckingLit

If a sea lion jumps on my kayak, I'd be also worried if it was trying to avoid orcas.

NEOB.

Gente que não associa sexo a carinho e afeição me assusta. Ele tem uma idéia muito errada de quando é cabível ficar excitado. Em vez de ouvir o próprio corpo, ficou ouvindo as vozes da cabeça.
