Please stop talking. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Lens flares have been used in film for decades. Just watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Are you calling Spielberg incompetent?

Uh, you still get the greenscreen effect if you’re using miniatures. George Lucas used miniatures for sets in the prequels, and it still looked terrible.

Oh, there's plenty of spawning back at the hotel rooms, don't you worry.

I'd almost say skip season 3 and read a recap, but the governor plays a semi large part in season 4. The show is not really bingable, though. Season 3 is kind of repetitive, and season 4 and 5 cover some of the same ground, except in a much better way.

Well, I think they finally got it right with their 50th showrunner.

I don't know which episodes you watched, but the second season kind of sucked. The first season was great. It was the first and last season of a show I ever binged, and it's what turned me on to the radio show.

I remember when All Things Considered did a very short story on Ronnie James Dio's death, and then, the next day, one of the listener responses they read was someone who was outraged that they did a story on Dio.

The later seasons do as well. He's basically a shell of a human in the last season. It even has him explicitly torture a suspect for his own satisfaction, which ends up making his situation much worse. It might not be terribly realistic, but the show does consistently make the point that this guy will never integrate…

I liked it. It reminded me of the meth packaging sequence e from Breaking Bad (if not as good.) I've never viewed the show as super serious, so the "humorous sequence that has wide ranging consequences" worked on me..

Especially since the protagonist is a mute, characterless blank slate. This was a specific design decision, since you can't assign character traits to someone wou could just as easily be a saint as a psychopath.

My local newer digital only theater which has never had projectors brought in a 35mm one to screen Interstellar.

"Come play, my lord!"

No, they don’t have good reasons. They could have reduced the graphics quality for splitscreen, or reduce the frame rate if they didn’t tie frame rate to game logic like idiots.

Except, The Avengers did have a hummable main theme (Alan Silvestri ain't no slouch,) you just don't remember it because it hasn't been played ad nauseum in sequels, advertisements, parodies, etc., like Williams' more famous pieces. You get the two or three times in the film, and that's it.

I don'tthink McCreary's and Djawadi's scores are the same as everything else. The Agents of Shield theme harkens back to classic sweeping superhero themes, which I don't think any of the movies do, and he has a few memorable themes within the show, though they're not hugely different from the films.

Gravity certainly didn't have "ADD editing," and it didn't have a sweeping melody.

If we're talking about memorability: Hans Zimmer's Interstellar, John Powell's How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Michael Giaccino's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes were the last few scores that had cues that I was humming a while after.

But when does that happen in film? I've heard synthesizers as orchestra in television quite a bit, but I don't think I've heard it in film, outside of some '80's films.

That was bad, but not as bad as the constant fast motion that killed a lot of the weight and impact of the action scenes.

Why would you pay significantly more for something that does the same thing and locks you into a specific hardware manufacturer? I highly doubt you have a 4K TV.
