Re: Pitch Black

I can't believe you didn't touch on the fact that the crash sequence is nearly identical to the crash sequence in Revenge of the Sith.... down to angles and parts of the ship falling off.

Re: Pitch Black

When you guys are talking about the color correction process and digital intermediate, Trey says, "Lord of the Rings was the first film to really work at it and make it a process, whereas before you would just crank the orange knob to make something orange."

I so wanted to be there in the chat so I could make a masturbation joke. "My mom says if I crank my orange knob too much, I'll go blind."

Also, "If your stickling lasts longer than four hours, consult your doctor." smile

Re: Pitch Black

Yeth thir. Didn't want to make a new account for myself and have to log out and then in as Down in Front once a week to add an episode, figured people would still get it if the episodes were posted by "Teague," so "Down in Front" is gone and "Teague" is hurr.

I have cake and eat cake and that's good because I like cake.

Re: Pitch Black

Oh sky cake, why are you so delicious?

The thing I like most about Pitch Black is its efficient, economic narrative. The characters are simple, but well established and defined. The goals and obstacles are clear and the story is well structured. And the few genuine surprises don't feel forced or out of nowhere. By all those measures, I'd consider it a "perfect" movie. I've never seen the sequels. Don't know when or if I will, though I hear Dark Fury is worth a look.

For the record, I can change your name without you re-registering. See?

Re: Pitch Black

Just now digging into this one.  Not to defend MTV, but MTV hardly invented frenetic editing, or bad editing for that matter.

I guess this means I should get an avatar. Let's see if anyone knows what this is.

I'm really really digging this dude. This needs to be made. (And not JUST because I'm the evil master overlord of the entire thing.)

Don't see why I should transform into a plane when my natural state is so kick ass smile

Getting back to the actual movie, I was surprised there was no mention of the theory presented in an earlier episode that Pitch Black was based on a rejected Alien script.

Re: Pitch Black

I like this. Holden, any chance we could get, like, factions or something on the forum? Join team Ninja and you get a little lotus icon next to your name or some such. Team DiF - the DiF icon. Secret Society - I don't know, a stegosaurus or a submarine or something? Team Maul II - A top and and monocle? Astro-marines - I don't know.

Re: Pitch Black

This is my new favorite thing.

EDIT: And for the record, it's "his" submarine, not "hers". Just FYI.

FURTHER EDIT: Teague, if it isn't too much to ask, I'd greately appreciate a space between "Doctor" and "Submarine". Changing "Doctor" to "Doc" would be acceptable if space is an issue.
