If only.
Except Arthur Dent wasn’t descended from the original hominids of Earth, but rather the useless humans who came from another planet, so the question was corrupted in his mind.
Oh hello, bully from every ‘80s movie and PSA. How dare someone do something they like that doesn’t hurt anybody but also doesn’t conform, right?
Man, you ever feel like people hate you? Try being a trans TSA agent. Woof.
Yup, autocorrect loves to think it’s smarter than it is.
What’s NFC in this context? I only know it as Near Field Communication.
Yep.
Marry Chandler. Stable, wealthy, empathetic, and funny.
Fuck Joey. Dude exists to be sexy.
Kill Ross. Annoying, whiny, selfish.
There is a LOT of CGI in Fury Road.
They did lots of practical stunts, yeah, but each of those shots is then supplemented with CGI. Extra vehicles and scenery and whatnot.
There’s this weird thing where filmmakers like to pretend they don’t use CGI and it makes us as viewers think that CGI is somehow worse.
Edit: Bonus, check out the episode of It Was a Shit Show about Fury Road. It’s fascinating.
There is an enormous amount of CGI in Lord of the Rings that you don’t really notice. Yes they used lots of miniatures and other practical effects, but that only takes you so far. The extended DVDs are full of some of the really cool ways they combined digital and practical. They show PJ “filming” at one point with a block of wood with a mocap ball on it.
They invented an entire new software just to make the huge battle scenes good. That software, Massive, is still used today to simulate giant crowds.
Gollum hasn’t aged perfectly, but pretty well for an entirely CGI character from the early 2000s.
I’m always surprised when they actually do their job.
Have you heard the Trans-Siberian Orchestra mashup of Carol of the Bells and God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen called Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24?
