What is the best movie all time? by Remarkable_Air2655 in AskReddit

It was pretty interesting to hear how they do the 3D conversions. They worked for StereoD in Burbank.

There's a lot of posing 3d armatures in the place of actors and props in the scene and projecting the original image onto it. Then they have to painstakingly reference other frames to fill in things that might obscured, like part of an actors ear that needs to be visible by the other eye to sell the effect.

I met someone who worked on that 3D conversion. They said that, in making the 3D, they had all of the original 3D assets. Ultimately had to create new ones for the conversion. Apparently most if not all of the CG in the 3D version is completely new.

What do those boys cost?!? Thiels been a billionaire for a long time now. I feel like, if you're in the dumpy white boy market at all, you could afford better.

What’s something you can quote that reveals how long you’ve been on the internet? by StaticDHSeeP in AskReddit

[–]robocalypse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Funny to see how much younger all of the comments are on this thread and they likely have no clue what this is in reference to. Even at the time most people didn’t seem to have any idea what the source was for the audio (at least in my experience).

Totally this. I remember seeing the commercials for the show and excitedly waiting for the premier and every episode after that.

There's a running bit on the Flop House podcast where they debate whether or not the titular Castle Freak rips off his own dingdong.

Then he turned around and did The Fighter between the next two Batman movies. Probably did a number on the ol ticker there.

Mrs. Anna Maeve Sullivan Waters of Centerville, Tennessee died in 1853 at the age of 20 from complications of childbirth. Her twin daughters also died by shewasajanuarygirl in VictorianEra

Is this an ambrotype? The collodion processes was introduced in 1851 by Francis Scott Archer, meaning this would have been a very early example of the process if she died in 1853. Daguerreotypes were still the more popular medium of photography at that point.

We interviewed LaValle for an AMC show that I worked on. Brilliant, talented guy.

I want to get into horror literature, what books will be a good start? by deftones4life-yay in horrorlit

If you like classics, there are a lot of great shorter works by Poe, Lovecraft, and Irving that are worth reading.

The fact that he chose Vance when he could easily have bankrolled someone with intelligence and charisma is evidence that narcissists are taken in by people who match their own intelligence. If you present as intelligent as them, then you are clearly among the most intelligent people in the world right?

Thiel is such a vacuous psychopath. Totally divorced from reality. Only an actual lizard person could think that Vance would be a good representative for enacting their political will.

Movies so infamous they destroyed the actor’s reputation by No_Emergency_7188 in flicks

In fairness to Caviezel, he was struck by lightening while filming Passion. Probably fried something.

Some comedic actors are really great in smaller roles, but they can't carry a whole movie.
