but yes with a remake there is some work already done

An imperceptible miniscule amount that would ultimately not make anything easier for anyone apart from the writer.

If that

what a surprise

That's not a humblebrag. I largely disliked the industry and left it recently lol

WingsOfGood posted...

let me ask, what films did you work on?

You realize the stuff I've worked on is credited to my real name right

It's not like you can go on IMDB and see "Second AD - Doom_Art"

WingsOfGood posted...

but you two have no idea what it takes to make a movie

what are you basing that on

WingsOfGood posted...

Try it

"Plot and lore" is a pretty miniscule part of filmmaking. Unless you were going to just make it a 1:1 remake a reuse the old script without any additions or changes (which you probably wouldn't do) then you'd have to write the thing, which would probably go through several drafts, have to be broken down multiple times so all the department heads need to know what they need to start working on or at the very least get a ballpark on what the production will need.

Then you'd have to

Yknow

Actually film the damn thing, which is going to take at least several months/a year of preproduction. Building sets, sourcing wardrobe, props, securing locations, if you have practical effects you'd need to make accommodations for that. Then you're casting actors, negotiating contracts, hiring crew, dealing with various unions and guilds.

Then you start actually filming the thing, which depending on the complexity can take anywhere from several weeks to several months. During that time you're coordinating food and drinks for your crew daily (and coordinating lodging if you're filming on location somewhere that requires it), making accommodations for actors and other talent. In the meantime the director and production heads are in constant communication with each other and the studio/producers. The director at this point also starts preparing for post production which is its own unique hell.

When you're done filming then you're in post, which, again depending on the complexity of the project, could last another several months and involve legions of CGI artists, color graders, sound techs, and a web of assistants under the editor. You also gotta pay someone to score the damn thing.

Then this whole time you're negotiating with theater chains, distributors, firing up marketing, and paying out your talent.

Remakes aren't any easier to make than any other film. They're attractive because they have a built in audience, which Star Wars already has anyway. And the things you say would make the production "easy" are the most insignificant parts of actual movie making.

...and you do?

I dont think you have any clue what goes into creating a film and are just doing one of your dumbass capitalism rants slightly disguised.

disagree

oh jeez im so ever curious now

Maybe in another several decades. I'd eventually be down with it I think

why would he

Iunno why people hate that line so much

17 years later and it still baffles me lol

Nah, sorry. That's not how this works, Russia.

The dullest character in the dullest Star Wars film

However, seeing the tone they've gone for, how they're fleshing out Cassian, and the other major POV characters like Mon Mothma, the female ISB agent, and Skarsgards character, make me pretty hyped.

they keep referring to the Seven Kingdoms but Dorne is still fully independent at this point I'm pretty sure, is this intentional because the Targaryens are arrogant bastards that think its theirs by right, or what?

It's still the seven kingdoms

North
Riverlands
Iron Islands
Vale
Reach
Stormlands
Westerlands

I have no idea why Graham thought this bill would be a good idea

He would've sold out Zelensky months ago

What if he wins the nomination and DeSantis is his vice president

They're both too power hungry for that to be tenable

That dude was a fucking grump ass

Also I've seen enough people in online discourse say that DeSantis is a shoe in against Biden in 24 that I feel very confident saying that he'd probably lose even without Trump splitting the vote.

Whatever the pulse is among online armchair politicos, go in the opposite direction.

Trump is vindictive enough to mount a third party challenge I think.

An important thing to keep in mind is a lot of states have Sore Loser laws that prevent candidates who lost a primary from running in the general independently or under a different party. So if he did try that it's not like he'd go far.

I think either way they lose in 2024. Trump splits the vote just enough, or whatever meat puppet the party runs fails to catch on.

Doesn't seem like a winning electoral strategy imho

We should both be Hobbits and just drink in the Shire the whole time

Wait so what does he want

couldn't give less of a shit about the human ones

This is really weird

Fony posted...

Is the show good? Trailer looked stupid.

I'm really digging it so far.

JuanCarlos1 posted...

They look great. A much MUCH better step up from the hobbit movies.

F'real

On par with the original films imo

...and creepy.

In the opening narration in the first episode there was one shot in particular that creeped me out.

Seeing a bunch of Orcs in a dead forest from a distance and one looks up in the direction of the camera and you can see its eyes glowing vaguely. Really creepy.

Also all the creepy shit they're doing with the human village and stuff.

guys learn even the slightest bit of game development

graphics are usually among the last things that start

Because the cruelty is the point

Seriously dude I don't wanna hear your shitty dad rock while I'm trying to work out.

My last Dominos pizza was handmade pan also with garlic parm sauce, but with Italian sausage, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers.

Imma try this next time

Im craving their god awful cookie brownie thing rn.

I'm a sucker for the chocolate lava thing

But I managed to restrain myself tn

FigureOfSpeech posted...

That actually sounds decent for dominos but I would feel like shit after as well (probably wouldn't finish, but definitely would be easier than with any other crust type)

Honestly I feel wack when I say it but dominos, at least in my city, can stand up to any local chain.

Dunno what it is about them.

And yeah their crunchy thin is real light. Its easy to slam tons back, whereas their regular or pan crust I can spend 2-3 days whittling away on.

Dominos has a 50% off thing rn

Large crunchy thin crust
Sub pizza sauce with garlic parm sauce
Extra cheese
Cheddar
Pepperoni
Oregano sprinkled on top
Marinara sauce on the side for dippin

Damn was it delicious but holy fuck do I feel like shit rn lol

Haven't eaten like that in years

I went in to pick up a pizza the other night. Wasn't dining in or being served or w.e.

And the terminal asks for a tip. I put in 0%.

I tip (pretty generously) when I dine in, and I tip when I get something delivered. I'm not tipping if I'm going in and actually getting it myself.

Was Bender doing this the whole time?

It was more like this

I figured something was up when I was getting groceries and saw Bender wandering down the street.

People always clamor for "Zelda but dark"

And like yeah there's some entries in the series that are tonally rather dark or bleak (MM and TP, even BotW) but actually turning the franchise into some ultra-violent, grim, dark fantasy thing really wouldn't fit lol.

Zelda as a franchise is basically a fairy tale. Trying to insert those concepts into it would be incredibly jarring.
