@chartier New Magic Keyboard cases are obscenely priced and will be late and likely hard to get (I waited over a month to receive the keyboard for my 2018), but I want one, dammit.
@tewha None of his behavior have ever demonstrated any efforts toward repentance and reconciliation. The Christian leaders surrounding him are moralists, the type who conspired to kill Christ.
@shanecyr Yeah, the film is worse than the sum of its parts. Great score. Great art direction. Great cast. Good pacing.
An example of something new for me in the correct aspect ratio: in the hellscape dream at the end, as the camera zooms in on the burning wreckage of the Cygnus, each side of the screen is filled with a column of zombie crew without their reflective masks.
“This is really dark for a Disney movie.” “The company had some creative difficulties after Walt died that ended with Little Mermaid.”
My son was immediately enamored with VINCENT and was distressed when he was briefly adrift in the opening scene. He really digs Maximillian’s design. “He looks like a demon.”
Watched _The Black Hole_ for the first time in many years on Disney+ with my almost 13yo son. This was the first time I’d ever seen it in the correct aspect ratio, so a few things threw me off. Disney did a decent job making it look good on 1080p, but they didn’t touch up any effects shots, which is just as well. Despite the quality of the writing or direction, I was just astonished to see a story like this edited to around 90 minutes. I didn’t find the film to drag much anywhere.
@shanecyr Tell them they should do spec work for exposure.
@tewha You can’t walk away from TLJ without some respect that Johnson took some risks and that Lucasfilm, for all their meddling in every project since TFA, allowed it to release in the form it was in.
@tewha TROS is a reminder that these are products as much as works of art. Whatever form it could have taken was tweaked along the way to resemble a catch-all story that it is, for better or worse. I prefer my storytelling to take a few risks, which TLJ did.
