Which I already pointed out two posts ago. You're not getting away with this one tongue

Is being spot on really the point here? The 80s are the basis for this kind of aesthetics, just like it is for music like Perturbator's or games like Hotline: Miami, but in the end it creates something new, some sort of modern cheesy, kitsch genre. It pays tribute to the 80s without actually trying to recreate it. I think it's brilliant and hilarious, and people actually alive in the 80s shouldn't feel as if the younger generations were trying to appropriate it.

As to Kung Fury... I'm actually impressed. I didn't know they'd managed to gather such resources. The style makes post-production work easier, but there's a lot more CGI and animation than I expected. A lot of work went into polishing the look of it.

I tip my hat to the one-liners jokes. They got quite a few good chuckles out of me.

So sorry to hear it. The only thing I can do is offer my sincere condolences to John and his family. I hope they'll be okay.

I think even without knowing anything about Mad Max, the movie works. So maybe it avoided exposition because it's a well-known franchise, but the result is the same: the movie works on its own.

So I'm gonna go ahead and agree with Herc that Mad Max: Fury Road is on the same level as Die Hard. I think it has the same re-watchability. Everything about it works.

The only shot that didn't scream "PERFECTION" was the guitar one, which was too obviously CG. Otherwise, it was two hours of insane action, pacing, acting, and my God, what eye-candy. Not many movies can pull off that much saturation. This one is off the chart, and it looks incredible.

And to know pretty much everything is real... Holy shit. I'm going to need a 10-hour documentary of this. How they didn't destroy dozens of cameras filming this, I'd like to know.

PS: fuck theaters who think it's good idea to have the sound too loud for every single movie ever, but when it's Mad Max, the one movie that NEEDS to be too loud, it's too quiet.

I know. Doesn't mean EU laws don't exist, they just don't apply to you  tongue

I don't know whether that changes anything to Canon, though. The 30-second limitation seems worldwide.

Subforums are cool. You could have a general "Community activity" category, with all the ongoing activities as its subforums. If an activity ceases to be a thing, its subforum can go - doesn't have to be deleted, it can be archived in an "Archives" category. I might be wrong, but moving subforums around probably isn't a pain in the ass with forum systems such as PunBB.

Work with a camera. The amount of detail you need will solely depend on what you see, and you'll decide whether you need to add detail on the model or if bump and specular maps will do (and they do more often than you'd think).

Ya, I thought I could do some more recordings, but I don't have anything remotely close to free time right now. I'll send you the guitar stuff soon, but that's all you'll be getting from me, unfortunately. hmm
