And I would love to see this being made to the big screen (not my best green screen work, but I think some of you might find it a fun watch):
Yes, Tarantino is not wrong about that.
I wish trailers were still done this way and I wish movies were still filmed in the ways of old. With old-school acting and old-school film style and old-school sensibilities. I miss those days. Well, not really. Since the majority of what I watch are actually old films and old TV shows. I don’t watch much of anything modern these days. Something about their presentation just puts me off and makes me flip to another channel. Compare new Hawaii Five-O and old Five-O. I just can’t watch the new one (even if Hawaii looks gorgeous in HD) but show me the original one and I’m glued to the set. Even if the colors don’t pop like in the new one. But I actually prefer the colors and film stock of the old show.
And changing of the reels every 22 minutes?
I share your sense of nostalgia. Almost all my favorite movies are made before 1996.
And to my eyes a proper mastered 4K scan of a 50 year old movie can look a lot better than a new orange and teal colorgraded blockbuster that's shot digitally. Luckily there's IMAX, which everyone loves.
Computers have made a whole array of new things possible, but for some parts, like intense use of CGI, grading etc... well, let me paraphrase Goldblum in JP1: " they've been so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." ;-)
SP is a perfect example of how a grading can almost ruin the movieexperience for me.
I like your trailer more than the official release.
This gave me a good laugh, especially the part with Monica bellucci :))
Someone else on CBN has also commented they've seen the new Heineken ad as well...
It's kicking off!
Approx 2000 feet of 35mm film makes up a film's single reel (with combined optical and/or digital sound) as it was projected in a cinema and that would take 22 mins to run. At the end of the first reel you may have noticed little black dots pop up on the top right of the screen, those were change-over dots. The first dots (four of them, one on each frame) at 12 feet before the end of the reel, would tell the projectionist to start up the second projector (precisely positioned beside the first projector) and the last set of dots would tell the projectionist to switch to that second projector (now running up to speed @ 24 frames per second) and the next reel, reel 2 of the film, would seamlessly take over as reel 1 came to an end, continuing the film for the audience. While reel 2 would run, the projectionist would take off the completed reel 1 from the first projector and lace up the next reel to follow reel 2, which would be reel 3, on that projector. And that well-oiled system would continue, reel by reel, until the film was finished.
The average film runs between 100min to 2 hours and so, on average, every film had five, 2000 feet-length film reels, all kept in separate 35mm film cans. These days most screenings are digital, so no more 35mm, but if u do see a 35mm projected film, you will experience change-over dots and a reel change at approx every 22 mins.
@ringfire211 If you've seen Fight Club, you may remember Brad Pitt's character talking about this as well. There's even a fourth-wall-breaking moment when he points to the upper corner of the screen to show the black dot. I sort of miss those dots!
Why we talking about fight club?
Back to the old "misogynist dinosaur" line.
Exactly.
I find it hard to judge as we're seeing the line out of context. It may come across slightly differently in the film
This overall theme in SF was quite annoying. Not because of the theme itself, but because it was too underlined. In SP this theme was softer and at least didn’t affect Bond. SF was an overall film about 007 and M being obsolete.
That sort of fits with the original female protege 00 agent rumour.
I don't know about that we will see.
There’s no logical reason for him being reassigned as 007 as far as I can see. He began CR without the designation and I think he’ll end NTTD without it too.
