Quintus 5,399 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Since they went down that route, they need far better dog CGI than this. Holko and Naïve Old Fart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,499 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 1.16: three times it drops. For fuck's sake. This CG, saturated shit is insulting. Save your money, and watch NEVER CRY WOLF. Heck, for a "nature" movie, watch MR. FORBUSH AND THE PENGUINS, or THE JOURNEY OF NATTY GAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 I actually think the film itself looks quite nice, but in order for me to accept that dog it needed to have the Disney logo on the box. It could be that they've deliberately gone with a stylised K9 for the corny cartoony feels, typically found in a Disney-esque live-action animation. What I mean is perhaps the dog isn't supposed to look entirely photorealistic in the first place, and that it'll possibly make more sense when the tone of the film is revealed to be whimsical family epic.

Holko 9,499 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The lighting and colours are my pet peeve usuals. The dog is very very CG and no the good kind. Ford looks fun. Maybe I'll be better off just listening to Powell, he's the only reason I've heard of this, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Uncanny valley was never a factor with Chewie though, because he's a real thing in the shot with the characters, interacting with them. Besides, the last time Ford shared screen time with a mutt it ended up with fuckin' vine swinging, so what do you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,030 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It's like War Horse without a war and with a CG dog instead of a real horse. I wonder if Ford is CG as well. 5 minutes ago, Gruesome Son of a Bitch said: guy in an ape suit Are you referring to Mutt Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,499 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The barkers name was Buck. I'd seen him around. Bryant must have upped him, to the Dog Runner unit. That gibberish he spoke, was gibberish, a mixture of woofs, growls, howls, what have you. I knew the barking, every good owner did, but I wasn't gonna make it any easier for him.

Edmilson 7,393 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Quote ‘Game Of Thrones’ Duo David Benioff & D.B. Weiss Set HP Lovecraft Thriller Film At Warner Bros EXCLUSIVE: Game of Thrones creators David Benioff & D.B. Weiss have set at Warner Bros an untitled thriller inspired by Hans Rodionoff’s graphic novel Lovecraft. Set to write the script are Phil Hay & Matt Manfredi, the scribe team behind such films as Aeon Flux, Ride Along and the Karyn Kusama-directed The Invitation and Destroyer. Kusama will be exec producer. The filmmakers are keeping it close to the vest, but I’m told the movie asks a horrifying question: what if H.P. Lovecraft wasn’t making it up? What if the monsters he created are real? Also, the movie will be set in 1920 within the Cthulhu mythos. That’s all I got. Benioff & Weiss have been eyeing this project and have been in discussion with Warner Bros’ Courtenay Valenti and Toby Emmerich for several years, while they were consumed with the monumental task of translating the George RR Martin Game of Thrones novels into eight epic seasons. The duo subsequently signed a megadeal to create TV and film projects for Netflix in August, but the discussion on this movie predated that deal. https://deadline.com/2019/12/game-of-thrones-david-benioff-dan-weiss-hp-lovecraft-thriller-warner-bros-phil-hay-matt-manfredi-karyn-kusama-1202805585/ Cool! I'm a fan of Lovecraft, and always wanted to see the Mythos properly adapted for the big screen. I hope they choose a director with a strong sense of atmosphere and dread (like Cary Fukunaga, whose S1 of True Detective had some Lovecraftian themes to it).

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The bandage would seem to indicate this takes place fairly soon after the 1st. But the 1st trailer from A quiet place was misleading so I expect this to be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Just saw a commercial for A Quiet Place 2 in the movie theater. Not a trailer... The trailers haven't started yet. It's still commercials, like right now it's a Cadillac commercial. But in the middle of the commercials was a little 30 second spot for Quiet Place 2. Never seen that before. And now it's 2 minutes past start time and the trailers haven't even started yet. So many commercials. Trailers in front of TROS here... Top Gun Maverick... No No Time To Die... Mr Robot! Bad Boys 4 Life... Martin Lawrence got old 1917.... Looks amazing! Tenet... Trippy Onward... Looks weird Black Widow... I think I'd watch ScarJo in anything.

Edmilson 7,393 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 On my TROS session, there was only trailers for Wonder Woman 84 and Black Widow, along with some idiotic IMAX adverstisement. But this theater chain has less trailers and commercials. Cinemark, at least where I live, has almost half an hour of crap before the beginning of the movie.
