This has not changed, not today and not tomorrow.
Humans looking at a situation in person will ALWAYS be better than a robot. The amount of work that a robot with a human team back on earth can do in an hour compared to a single human with the training and skills. No question.

The unmanned craft...
Thank you for making my point for me.
Coming up this December is the 40th anniversary of the LAST footprint on the Moon
Oof, right in the progress of society. Ouch.
Well I saw the Concert first (so there might be a first doctor thing going on here)
It's like the old saying that the Doctor you first see as a kid becomes the benchmark all other Doctor Who's are judged against.
Thank you for that. I had no idea. 
And please for the love of the gods, it's Menzel, not Mensel.
As for the rest of the it, meh, I like her. Doesn't really make a difference. Although it's a little pretentious to call any way the "right way". Jus saying.
Well I saw the Concert first (so there might be a first doctor thing going on here) but I love it. I've tried watching some of the other recordings and they just feel wrong. IDK, but the concert just has an energy to it that I haven't seen any other performance (*Recorded performance I've been able to find, mostly just youtube clips) inhabit.
I love Idina Menzel and don't understand why people have an issue with her. There isn't really anything about the character I saw that screamed it shouldn't/couldn't be Idina. She seemed fine. 
Dude, I finished it. Do it. It's fucking awesome. I haven't laughed that hard in FOREVER.
Also... this is the first time I've heard of Lupa. Watching her New Hope Review. Laughing my ass off.
I started watching...and then I- I wanted to stop...but I just...I just couldn't. It's so baaaad.
Is it just me, or does anyone else wanna know the budget for this fucker?
So I'm still doing this, and I just started playing Bastion! So maybe if you aren't so much with the minecraft, you'll watch this then maybe.
Aah, good ol TVTropes come to save my ass again. Yes, exactly that.
PS. This is my new favorite gif.
Yes...but if I was making a documentary about YOU, the singing would be naturally occurring as part of the scene because that's just what you do (The feelings part has nothing to do with it, for all I know the Diva in Fifth Element could be relating the tragic woe of her divorce). But the background behind you isn't suddenly going to go technicolour as pink and raindow woodpeckers fly out of the flowers on your wall and start singing lullabies to you, and the flowers in your window sill smile big toothy smiles and sing along, while the background then morphs into a sunny beach, and somehow magically you're in a swimsuit with a mojito in your hand. Because that's not how your actual life works...
And if that is LITERALLY how an everyday scene from your life plays out...dude... I just...I got nothin to say to that. I will volunteer to make that documentary. Screw that... I will pay you to be able to make that documentary.
EDIT: Ugh...how can I explain this...
You know how you're watching a movie... any movie... and everything is going along great, there's a story and there's characters, and you're just getting into it...then suddenly...
for 3 minutes. And then it goes back to being the movie you were watching, without even having the courtesy to acknowledge wtf just happened.
Damn Squiggy, that's pretty as hell.
And my stuff:
I've been getting back into painting (a little bit)...
This one's the concept art for a sculpture/ prop/puppet...thing... project I'm working on (Thread here) Paint time, 3-4 hours, I can't really remember:
And this one is the title slate for my Bastion playthrough. I needed another board to put my name on...so I made one. I was trying to match the style as close as I could. It's far from perfect but it gets the job done. Paint time, just under an hour (With distractions, so probably closer to 30mins).
Apparently not. Is it really such a crazy notion that a movie should stick to it's style of story telling throughout the WHOLE movie?!
Well then...next movie I make will be nothing but a montage of various styles... MUSICAL, NOIR, SLASHER, DRAMA, BACK TO NOIR AND ROUND IT OUT WITH A SMALL DASH OF FRENCH SURREALISM
IT'LL BE THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE I TELL YOU!!
Characters singing I have no problem with (Tarzan: You'll be in my heart, for instance) in fact it can be a remarkably moving moment. SO LONG as the movie recognizes that it's the character's singing in universe. (Although the full orchestra in the middle of the jungle is a little weird...and no, you don't get to make the score argument, cause it's a BS argument)
I take issue (Perhaps to strong...maybe, take irk with...?) with a movie that suddenly decides to go Full-Broadway for 3 minutes in an otherwise broadway less movie. (Or to put it another way, to go I Can't Wait To be King in the a movie otherwise about the politics of the savanna played as a straight drama): for example:
The Emperors Groove Song at the opening (This one gets a pass because it's a joke and they hang a lantern on it). But it's the only song in an otherwise musicalless movie.
El Dorado (It's Tough To Be A God): Time jumps, impossible visuals (They end the song sitting on the moon for the gods sake) etc etc
I had anther one but it's gone now...stupid blood loss...screwing with my...smart making...things.
EDIT: Yes I know, this isn't that big of a deal. It just strikes me as a bizarre choice for a filmmaker to make.
PS. Alright...so... Fifth Element... I'm fine with it. Cause it's in universe. If Korben suddenly burst into song, started swimming in space and got in a slap fight with Zorg...then we start to have an issue.
Do they?!
/Runs to find his copy of El Dorado/
Well shiiiiiiit...
I'm starting to realize how many movies (That I don't think of as musicals)/musicals only have one song that the characters actually sing... it's weird...I'm trying to understand the logic behind it. You'd think you'd either go just go full musical or not have any songs at all. Seems kinda half assed. (Not to mention it sets up a really weird movie universe (No one sings...except well...this one point they do...but otherwise this is NOT a musical. One has to wonder if they are just literally singing the song in universe, and everyone else is just going... w...t...f...)
Another great one. Though not actually a musical (Nothing against it, just in the context of the thread, thought it should be mentioned)
"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."
Gaddammit BBC.
Do you have that thing where you watch A Knight's Tale, finish it, want to watch something else like it, and then realize you're just going to have it watch it again?
Every gods-damned-single time.
I also have that thing where I find myself just absolutely and completely consumed by the need to watch the opening sequence, because it so absolutely amazing. And then when I finally do, I have to watch the rest of the movie too. I've accidentally killed more hours that way than I'd care to admit.
I tried watching Merlin (My mom is addicted to it) and gave up after about 10 minutes, I just can't watch any fantasy tv show these days that isn't Game Of Thrones. (Not because GoT ruined everything else, but just because everything else is so horrible anyways.)
As for stage shows to movies... I think Book of Mormon could probably make the transition pretty well. I'd love to see a movie version of Chess too.
/pats Zarban on the head/
Don't worry, you're special in other ways.
Damn dude, nicely done. My only complaint is that without the breakdown I would have had no clue what was happening in the first shot. When I watched it the first I honestly couldn't tell what was going on. And the second time I could kinda pull out the different elements, because I'd seen them in the breakdown. So yeah, otherwise, fucking brilliant.
And I asked in the chat, but you probably won't see it there, do you do all your compositing (At least for the stuff you did on your own for the demo reel) in AFX?
A Knight's Tale (incidentally one of my favorite movies)
*Hugs lit*
I- I've never found anyone like me before. I usually...usually just get laughed at whenever I bring up Knight's Tale as one of my favourite movies.

It could really go in any of the threads for the summer movies this year... I picked this one cause meh.
Hmm, I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the everyone do the same thing type thing, I think it could fun if it's more of like a little round table thing of people throwing ideas at each other. And if someone likes an idea they'll do it, and if they don't then they won't. Also people could challenge someone to something specific. (Probably would be wise to have some sort of opt in option for that though)
So yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the competition style. But that's just me.
So long as we're doing this I have to include my favorites.
