The videos not talking about CGI quality, though, but about using cinematography to make your dinosaurs (whether animatronic, CGI, or otherwise) have the ideal impact on the audience.

Interesting and great point- his DP (Dean Cundey) was nominated for an Oscar for Cinematography for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Seems like there’s some genius to having the guy who could make a cartoon wabbit convincingly inhabit space do the same for your giant scary dinosaurs.

Well said, I love the simple joy Tate took in things like seeing herself on screen, and hearing the appreciative laughs at her pratfalls. Maybe it’s a sugarcoated view of the woman, I’m not sure. But it’s a nice way to remember her, rather than a woman who was married to one monster and killed by several others.

Yes, except it would have been meaningless because the movie is ABOUT the Tate murders.

Let me guess: you had little to no idea who she was before you saw it?  Because if she’s not in the film, the climax is meaningless.

I liked that they weren’t portrayed the way they imagined themselves (e.g., Watson’s “I’m the Devil” bullshit) and more like they apparently were. Based on what I’ve read about Manson and his followers they were portrayed pretty accurately—a bunch of mostly unremarkable young people who probably would have seemed…

To me, she serves to subvert expectations. Everyone knows what happened to her and thinks that’s what the movie is building to (Inglorious Basterds aside), then it goes a different way.

She’s there to build suspense. We know what happens to her in real life so whenever she’s on screen we pay attention to see if there are any tidbits. Especially with Cliff’s background, there was an additional fear that his or Rick’s actions could be the leading factor in her death in this version of events. Which…

I think that, in itself, is sort of the point. She doesn’t really need to be a “deep” or “complex” character. She was a real person, and Tarantino doesn’t pretend to know her. He just lets her be.

That’s the entire point: Sharon Tate was a happy human being bearing a child with a bright future ahead of her, and then four assholes mutilated her and made her into a historical footnote about maniacal horror in suburban America. It’s actually pretty rare for a Hollywood film to memorialize someone who has famously…

Re: the filmmakers not representing what Manson was “really” about. That’s one of the smartest things they did— avoid giving him a platform and just let him be some dirty hippie nobody thinks twice on.

Whether it was an unreliable memory or a fantasy sequence (the latter of which is my belief), the arrogant portrayal of Bruce Lee is all in Cliff’s head. But whatever, the priority is to criticize QT on everything he does, which should inevitably lead to criticism of all those who work with and for him. They’re all…

Just fucking market it as a Fox movie if you are so worried about your hallowed “brand”.

ALSO FUCK YOU TITO stop apologizing and making excuses for this piece of shit shit fuck. HE HATES YOU

I was thinking more MLK, but keep licking those boots.

Have you considered the notion that breaking unjust laws is a moral imperative?

Except that no, parents don’t give transitioning hormones at extremely young ages. That’s a lie. Parents may ask a therapist to give them a diagnosis of gender nonconforming behavior, which they then take to a medical doctor at an age when the child is near to going through puberty, and that doctor may, if after a…

Bcause everyone who believes trans kids is advocating for legal status changes and getting gender reassignment surgery for three year olds? Come on now. It’s not dangerous to allow a child that young to explore gender identity.

Fuck off, transphobic troll. Nobody is giving children this age hormones. You’re building up a strawman that doesn’t exist.

You know what you do with a young child that’s transgender? You just let them dress in the clothes they want. There’s no hormonal blockers or medical procedures. How the fuck is that dangerous? How do you support trans kids without supporting their gender identity?

oh, just saw your username. Fuck off.
