@SumMovieW I have been waiting for this and am twitching with excitement for the summer movie wager again. But I am surprised that The Devil Wears Prada is not being included. Curious why the Filmcast made that decision.
It’s not because level of talent has decreased or artists have gotten worse. Back then artists had way more time and way more budget. There was a genuine interest in breaking barriers and making cgi look as great as possible, not just “good enough”. As cgi artists we want to make everything we touch look as good as possible, but it’s up to higher ups and budget which is increasingly becoming a trend of less and less budget, while at the same time expecting faster and more work. The mantra has become “we need to spend less money, crank things out faster, just try to make it look good enough”. The results are exactly what you and I would expect.. All so higher profits can be realized 🫠
Unfortunately not many companies do it for the love of art anymore. Hopefully the pendulum swings in the other direction again.
"Anora" director Sean Baker wants Hollywood to refocus on "human stories" that don't rely on superheroes, horror and action to draw people to theaters.
@cevangelista413 It's also because I think you are a thoughtful person who recognizes that two people can have different opinions and it can be okay because art is subjective. I would rather have that in my film critic than a limited view of criticism. Thanks Chris!
@Cuse_MBB@accmbb I hate that Cal is somehow in the ACC, and yet I am over the moon that I will get to see 'Cuse when they visit in February. 'Cuse is in the house!
@SumMovieW@GermainLussier@PeterSciretta @davechensky Way to go Germain! A thrilling battle until the very last day. I will note that I also had 5 dead-on hits and bested them with 69 points. Perhaps I could pick the movie?? 😁
Going to the movies is a very special experience. This is the experience that I grew up with and what made me want to be in the movies. Do yourself a favor and go to the theater this weekend. Lots of cool options out there.
