I know 100% that people will argue with me over this, but I miss when movies were professionally lit, when actors were intentionally blocked, and when more than teal, orange and beige were allowed to be on the screen. The medium has something to do with it--film made a lot of these things fundamentally necessary--but I think it's more complex than just that. The last few years' movies are just not pleasant to look at, with very few exceptions, and the change occurred sometime around 2015.
@Gargron the combo of filming/mastering/editing/projecting on digital, digital color grading, and home streaming has really tanked the color spectrum we see in most films.
@Gargron this video covers a lot of the issue https://youtu.be/yN0H_WfWOp4?si=GKnFGC77OxhGkRob

@courtney @Gargron i'd seen this thumbnail before but juxtaposed with the toot above, I am now realizing that it literally replaces yellow highlights and hazel eyes with fucking orange skin and teal eyes!??
