Laika's Still Up There. Not Her Body, Sure, But Her Soul Is. I Saw It Through My Telescope One Night

Sam: How was the honeymoon?

Y/N: Bucky got drunk and tried to destroy our marriage certificate.

Y/N: He said, “good luck trying to return me without the receipt”.

Y/N: I love him.

Ok so I just found out that Disney has these little N'avi baby plushes🥺🥺

I have one small problem with them though. I know it's probably silly but I'm a little sad they don't have their little baby queues!!

Idk lol I'll probably still buy one at some point

your gay uncles when you give them your life update at a family gathering (x)

fun fact! did you know that you can gain extra ‘forbidden time’ by staying up late in the night? but Watch Out

And love just took me by surprise

Looking through your eyes

Quest for Camelot (1998)

This scene rewrote my brain chemistry

"I've thought about having children, but I must say I never considered having them with you."

it's inevitable that we romanticise dnp's life and story because of how little we actually know about them, but i wonder if having an audience that does it so avidly makes their own lives a little more fun. they don't need tips on how to romanticise their everyday life when they have a hoarde of people at any one time screaming crying and dying over the poetic cinema of their lives 😭 like "aw phil i'm feeling like things are kinda blah and uninteresting of late" "dan did you know i predicted you in a tarot reading when i was in uni? i just read about it on twitter"

Nostalgic memory loss and cherry picking annoy me to the core.

2006 features other CGI-laden flims such as...

Son of the Mask

And Ultraviolet

While 2024 featured...

Dune 2

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

This shot was literally impossible to create in 2006.

Good CGI is made by good artists who have the proper funding, time, and resources. The year doesn't matter.

There has always been bad CGI. There has always been good CGI.

Current CGI is much more advanced and allows for much bigger stories to be told. Most of it is so good, people do not even realize they are looking at CGI. Yes, Top Gun 2 shot a lot of amazing practical footage. But they still had 2400 VFX shots.

And no one could tell the difference.

But also, movies with 2000+ CG shots usually have a quality delta. They run short on time and budget and they have to prioritize which shots get the most love. If there is one valid complaint about modern CGI, it is the lack of consistency.

You might have a weird looking floating head in one scene...

And that is very easy to cherry pick and say "look at how bad CGI is these days!"

But then later in the movie you have the shadow realm moon.

A gorgeous scene that used a groundbreaking lighting effect. Using a strobe technique and a high speed camera, every frame in the scene had six different angles of lighting.

They were able to show a fast revolving sun circling around the characters without having to rig up some crazy light that flies around the room.

Again, not possible in 2006.

When artists have proper resources they will blow your mind.

CGI isn't worse. It is better than ever. It's just that the artists making Davy Jones were amazing. They had the time and money to realize their vision. They had 1400 fewer shots to make than Top Gun Maverick. (Jurassic Park only had 63.)

They also understood their limitations and didn't try to force the CG to do something it wasn't ready for yet.
