Speaking of Chris Cunningham... I wonder what happened to him. Or did he just retire after 2003 pretty much?
He only did the 2003 short Rubber Johnny and then one more short in 2010.
Of course his body of work is amazing. Wish he continued with the music videos and maybe even feature films. He would've been a perfect candidate for the latter.
- Oh sorry, he did one more music video in 2006 (Sheena is a parasite)NBQ00
- He worked on adapting Neuromancer for a few years but t never materialised. I always thought he should've made at least one feature.fadein11
- *it neverfadein11
- He did some Gucci perfume idents not so long ago. https://youtu.be/ykX…Morning_star
- He was attached to a few feature projects over the years, but the (perceived) lack of marketability of his vision was likely the issue.spl33nidoru
- 13 years ago, M_sNBQ00
- He might have been burnt out by the experience. I too hope he comes back to the medium, he was one of the best, certainly has a lot left in him for us to enjoy.spl33nidoru

- hasn't slept for 3 days, damn. I read some rumors a few years ago that he may have had psychological issues.NBQ00
- thats a speculation from the channel or not that he hasn´t slept.... i think he is going full pynchon in production to keep the annyoing fans away...neverscared

well that was fucking entertaining..
went to watch top gun.. get tickets, dude at counter gives us wrong screening.. gives us 7:30pm instead of 8:50pm..
so we walk in; thinking it’s just started and we missed the trailers
Walk in just as they are doing a briefing for some mission, seems like its the beginning of the film..
Then its straight into all the fighter jet cheese ball Hyper military bit.. which for all its TEAM AMERICA bullshit is still pretty impressive to watch..
Few things don't make sense, but your brain is going, they will explain it..
Then, 1 hour after we sit down it ends..
we walked out unable to stop laughing as it was just so unbelievably terrible but also so perfect we missed all the cheesy love story stuff, and just caught the money shot..
ended up getting tickets refunded also..
moral of the story, only watch the last 1 hour of Top Gun and its actually just a movie about flying a jet.
its hilariousThe people in the cinema must of thought we were crazy coming in an hour late
- we just looked at the cinema number on the ticket, not the time.. so we just assumed it was the right oneautoflavour
- ha. There's still jet-based fun to be had early on, they don't labour the sappy love story thank F.MrT

- Who buys tickets at the counter? Weird.monospaced
- its a long story mono, but basically state gov gave out all these entertainment vouchers to support business, and as a result had to be in personautoflavour
- but yep, ewwww. real life interactions.. no buenoautoflavour
- hmmm.. can I be assed to see the beginning of a movie which was already so cheese.. it looks phenomenal .. but the dialogue is awfulautoflavour
- yeah it's not the cleverest but glad you saw at the cinema? Like Dune it won't be as good only streamed.MrT
- awesome!oey_oey
- To be fair, shouldn't this movie be called TEAM AMERICA Bullshit?CyBrainX
- that review the other day on POTD nailed it.. 133 min advertisement for Lockheed Martin celebrating death.. pretty muchautoflavour

Just read a discussion on twitter: feature movies are always in 24 fps because we have a learned association between fiction and 24 fps, while 60 and higher frame rates only work for reality tv/news and in general look like 90s camcorder
I've always thought that Collateral (2004) was high frame rate, turns out its also 24fps
Discuss
- Yeah it was long known that 24fps gives that cinematic look while 60fps makes it feel TV/ sport-event'ish. Avatar was supposed to be 60fps originally.NBQ00
- Us AV nerds have known this forever. That’s why you have to turn off motion smoothing on a tv immediately and never turn it on again.monospaced
- They call it the soap opera effect because it looks like cheap shit at a high frame rate.monospaced
- So, are movies stuck in 24 fps forever?drgs
- probably. it's the same thinking behind all these retro pixel games, much more evocative than all the oh-so-real-but-not-q... ps5 super rendered nonsensehans_glib
- the hobbit was 48fpspango
- we need gen z directors to change that.pango
- Yes and watch it on a smartphone vertically.NBQ00
- all future movies will be verticalpango
- with shitty soundhans_glib
- Movies are experimenting with high frame rates. Gemini man was 60+ I think. 3D requires 60 possibly.monospaced
- Im intrigued by the fact that this association is learned. When the last generation who grew up with late 80s-90s TV drama/reality TV dies, then we will be freedrgs
- to make hfr moviesdrgs
- Alternatively, start making reality tv/news in 24fps, then flip itdrgs
- Oooof Gemini man was shit. Did not help the 60 fps camp lol.pango
- Collateral looks different because it was early digital cinema. Another early one is 28 Days Later.nb
- These days, tons of “films” are shot digital. only an excellent eye can see the difference. Partly because cameras have improved, DPs understand digital, etcnb
- True 60fps is cool for sports, nature, adult films. Anything where you want to feel like you’re right there. Unlike a movie, which is a piece of art for viewingnb
- weird, i was looking into this yesterday too. I was watching the new Top Gun and the jerky frame rate was pissing me off as we had seats near the frontIanbolton
- Football (sports) are definitley better at 60fps. Gemini Man was actually 120fps for 3D and the realism only shows how terrible an actor W.Smith isIanbolton
- 24 frames per second is what our natural vision feels closest to or what we dream in._niko
- There’s a different look between a high shutter speed (Saving Private Ryan) and high frame rate (The Hobbit in theatre)nb
- ^Wow wow wow.... I need a second... Wouldn't there be blank frames inbetween?pango
- No they just show them for longer.monospaced
- so less blur i guesspango
- Am I correct to say that the blurriness which comes with 24fps is more forgiving -- for special effects, stunt doubles etc?drgs
- like this scene in Terminator 2 up-resed to 8k and increased frame rate now looks low budget https://www.youtube.…_niko
- vs the original which is much more cinematic https://www.youtube.…_niko
- ugggh high frame rate made it feel like all the frames are gliding... it distracting...pango
- It’s awful. But most people don’t turn it off and it’s turned on as default on pretty much all TVs. Just ask Tom cruise.monospaced
