Speaking of old 3D movies, I wonder if it's easier or harder to translate them to "new" 3D?

>>761
you mean like coding on DVDs or legitimate film alteration

Once people start making serious movies in 3D, everyone will be hailing 3D like it's the biggest motherfucking best thing since sliced bread.

Kind of reminds of how the playstation made video games cool because they allowed a bunch of developers to create some grown up software for it.

Depends on what form they're in. I would hope they were smart enough to save the untinted masters, which of course they could just digitize and encode in whatever form they use these days. The older, black-and-white ones should be easy as well; just make two copies, run one through a red filter and the other through a cyan one, then re-untint them both. Child's play.

It's when we have full-color, red-cyan films and no masters that we run into issues because each channel has already lost some critical color information and will lose even more when you run it through the filter. I guess they'd have to make corrections manually, and end up with something that looks like a colorized black-and-white film. But it'll probably still look better than it did when you had to watch it through tinted glasses.

This is simultaneously the most horrible, hilarious, and enragifying movie title ever. I reckon it won't be quite so bad as the others though, the cast seems pulled straight from SNL's heyday in the 80s. It might be CORNY, but at least the acting parts won't be so painful. Was getting tired of seeing the same old talentless teen idols all the time.

Who knows, it could even turn out to be a cult favorite, ala 80s effort lampooning TV news networks, Sex o' Clock News.

Excuse me, I need to go choke uncontrollably on my own rage.

Michael Bay is the new Uwe Boll.

Not really. In fact, that statement is fantastically stupid, and we are all dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Awesome.

Also, everyone need to vote 5 stars because it looks like the Twatlighters are voting it down.

"Does this bother you?"

"I'm not touching you..."


I love those guys. :)

Actually, if anyone has or knows where to find an instrumental version of it I'd be really grateful.

I like the Snoop Dog song better than Sweepstakes lol.

Sweepstakes tries to make sense by the halfway point. But halfway is too little too late. Especially on a song that short. The start of the song is weird and a little annoying.

I'm so tempted to call Broken the best damn song this time around.

"Rhinestone Eyes" is pretty beasty yo, what with it's scary gargoyles on towers and its "PLASTIC POWAH".

Seriously though, the way he says plastic power in that song really kills me.
I raelly want to like "Glitter Freeze", but it sounds like the quality was strung through several shitty MP3 compressors.
"Some Kind of Nature" and "Cloud of Unknowing" are my personal favorites though.

And hey, Sweepstakes isn't that bad. It would've been better if it had lyrics spoken at a faster tempo, but that's just my opinion.

  it always impresses me more when you see that it wasn't just a bunch of photo editing after all

>>751

Oh damn, that makes it even better.

I still think the computer world has too many 'real world' elements. Smoke on tires? Curves? Part of the charm of the original TRON came from the fact that it was distinctly...digital.

Goddamn that looks impressive. I'm glad they went sequel over remake, always good to see more involvement by Jeff Bridges. Though really, they could've just taken the Tron 2.0 video game's plot and updated it some and it would've made for a pretty decent Tron movie, that game was surprisingly fun and well made for its time.

>>703

True, but you have to remember this is supposed to be reflective of computers and technology of the time. How much have computers advanced since Tron came out? The high resolution lightcycles and digitized world makes sense in the era of antialiasing and motion blur being standard fare. However I do miss the glowy helments and the bluish glow all the characters "skin" had from the original Tron. Without it they seem all too much like just people in glowing wetsuits since their faces are normal, but I guess in movies today there'd be a shit fit thrown by actors if their faces were all obscured and fuzzy.

>>718

Just because computers have gotten more flops and can handle more memory doesn't mean they function in any way differently than they did twenty five years ago. Bits are still the basic unit of data, even if there are several billion more passing through per second than they had back then. If anything, that would mean that the computer world would look like TRON's original world, just much, much bigger.

And 3D. It'd definitely be 3D. Everything is 3D now
