And every movie must be a comedy with Adam Sandler!Solo said:Hopefully none. Dont get me wrong, I loved its use in Sin City, but I would hate to see it start a new wave on film not shot on location. I need real scenery and cinematography.
That saying "I hope no more movies are made using this technology" is short-sighted.Solo said:What point are you trying to make exactly?

Yeah, and your opinion is short-sighted.Solo said:Nah, its an opinion. Aside from my aforementioned location/cinematography gripes, theres also the issue just mentioned of technical aspects overshadowing writing, and finally the issue of it being difficult to get top performances from actors in such an environment.
You have your opinion and I have mine. You don't have to change your opinion, but that doesn't mean I can't state my opinion, which is that blaming the technologies that artists use for the lack of good content and hoping it isn't used any further is short-sighted. Though the content may not be good, that's usually the fault of the artist, not the technology. Imagine if, after seeing the first motion picture, the audience said, "Well that wasn't impressive, I hope that technology never gets used again." Hell, I'm not even a fan of any of those three movies, but I still recognize that the technology can be useful in the right hands.Solo said:Keep on criticizing an opinion then, if you must. I wont change mine, so you are wasting your breath... er, keystrokes. Sky Captain and Casshern were 2 awful movies, and SC had a whole slew of problems too, so I dont think my concerns are unfounded.
Solo said:I found it to be a pretentious and overought attempt at being intellectual and artistic.
...says the guy who liked The Chronicles of Riddick...Prospero said:The problem with Sky Captain was that, just like more than half of all summer blockbusters, the technical aspects of the film took precedence over the screenwriting (which was absolutely horrible).
Solo said:Haha. Im not new to Japanese nor Asian cinema, not in the least. I also dont feel all or most of their films are pretentious turds like Casshern. Hell, at least 3 of my top 10 films alltime come out of Japan, and probably another 3 from different Asian nations.

mattx5 said:What what!?
That was greenlit? Who's directing? Is Frank Miller involved in any way?
Solo said:I greatly look forward to SC2 in 2007, though.
