Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

BUT, i didn't know that at the time, and just assumed it was faked while watching the movie. Le sigh.

I did read afterwards some quotes from Brad Bird saying he knew people might think it was greenscreen bullsh!t, but he felt digital just never looks as real as real, and so wanted to avoid digital wherever possible. I'm not sure if he's right about that (since I assumed most of that was digital), but I applaud his directorial choices.



Moonie - I personally can't address your problems with The Empire Strikes Back - I think that much-loved film is a hot mess from start to finish. Yep, that cave scene makes little sense. The rest of the movie pretty much sucks as well. In my apparently lone opinion.


Oh, hey - in my movie outtings, I saw a trailer for the revival of Episode One - IN THREE DEE!!! Everyone's gonna rush out to see that dog again, right?

I admit to enjoying seeing highlights on the big screen again though

I agree with the director that faked looks less real than if you actually do it. I'm glad the stunts were real- now I kind of want to see it. I don't mind if a stunt double does it, rather than the real actor, so long as a real person does the stunt. It's moderately cool if the actor does their own stunts (Jackie Chan) but it's not required.
