Coherence 2013
At 1hr. 29mins. I thought this would at least be brief if it wasn’t so good.
I was wrong. The lady and I both felt like we’d been watching for 4hrs. when the credits finally rolled.
I was put off by the characters early on, but then found myself kinda interested, then quickly bored.
The film makers obviously didn’t quite know what they wanted to do or where they wanted the story to go, so it goes nowhere and does nothing.

I don’t care if I should have posted this or not. I really don’t care.

We know.

The palms blowing opposite directions makes a nice division between the Rebels and Empire.
There’s nothing wrong with the explosion. There’s a battle going on. That could be from almost anything.
The Death Star (obviously) isn’t mean to represent actual size here. This is an effect used in advertising all the time. We aren’t meant to think this is a still from the movie.
If ya don’t like it, there’s nothin’ wrong with that. But from a design standpoint, it’s just fine.

Hair is pretty unassuming.

Not true. I use my pompadour to let everybody know that I’m a dangerous badass.
And it works. 😉

(actually, right now it just makes me look in style. Give it few months and it’ll be all mine again. Since '97 baby!)

I gotta find those!

Hello!

Me too!

I fell into an entire pool of that shit! And do ya think It caught me and helped me get back out?
HELL NO.
It jumped outta the way and let me fall to the bottom, tried it’s damnedest to hold me there and then wouldn’t get off of me even after I climbed out!
EVIL!

Water. Don’t let that shit fool you. It’s out to get ya.

Pencils. Ever see The Evil Dead? Ouch.

Yep, Frank beat me to it. What was the point?
I could kinda see if they just changed say the outside guys shirt to green so that the two appear to be different characters, but to change both? WHY?

moviefreakedmind said:

That was probably a coloring error more than anything else.

Nah, it’s a change. That guy appears in the bar a few times, each time with the red shirt and latter he’s outside and again the green is changed to red. No other color changes in those scenes.
If I remember right, it’s the last thing Harmy had to go in and change for SW-DeEd 2.7

EDIT- post abandoned.

I have no family. Put my boy in the ground yesterday.
So, Fingers crossed.

If it’s painless, I’ll go right now. Regardless of the other option.

I’ve seen plenty of old movies in perfect HD and the make-ups stand strong.
But, I don’t think the drop in modern quality is due from the old masters dying with their secrets, I was just confirming Wooks suspicions on that subject.
It’s important to remember that not all old old-age make-ups were successful, nor are all modern attempts failures.

Would you rather physically age slower but live half as long as you would normally or physically age faster but live twice as long?

Dorian Grey all the way!
Long life is a scary proposition to me. Looking young into older years is not at all.

Some of those guys may have taken their techniques to the grave.

As a make-up effects enthusiast, I can confirm that some did. There were some cases of understudies, but a lot of the early masters took their secrets to the grave.

I approve.

The Room is a good time. TPM is not.
My friends and I can laugh along with, boggle to the BTS goings on and actually truly appreciate The Room.
Nobody has any laughs, interesting boggling or appreciation for TPM.
I’d rather watch TPM than AOTC or ROTS though.

A makeup that made the actor look like Cushing circa Horror of Dracula would have been much better suited.

For sure. And picking an actor who who had the right build would help.

Can’t get the link to work. Not worth it.

Really? To my eye there’s something wrong. He looks way to week and fragile. Just doesn’t look right to me—almost repulses me.

Because Tarkin is big, buff, and could probably physically kick Vader’s ass in the original film. 😉

Well, it’s sort of like when you somebody with a sore thumb. It just doesn’t look good.

I would never somebody.

Of course not. But especially with a sore thumb.

I think the hair is too dark to be him. This is about a week before we meet him in SW.

^ Correct.
And I’m still the winner.
