It's a series (this is the TV thread lol), and they shot it in black and white then did a color conversion. They used old school hard lighting and actual lenses vintage lenses.

I'm watching the three body problem (chinese) and it's kind of funny that the question that is making all these people lose their minds is basically "but what if science… wasn't real?"

>>48106
It kind of feels like if you walked into a religious conference and said "but what if god… wasn't real???" and everyone started going "woooooah no way! No way!!!" And started killing themselves.

lmao RLM picked up on the k-shaped economy from how disney was managing the star wars property

>>48246
What's the k shaped economy

>>48247
when, during the recovery after a crisis (e.g. the pandemic) income starts diverging drastically between the wealthy - trending up - and the poor - trending further down, thus making up a k shape.

the second order effects of a k shaped economy is that businesses would start catering exclusively to wealthier and wealthier people as spending on the lower bracket goes down

pic is from the hunters (1977) but it is representative of the moody, yet hopeful gaze that characterizes the bittersweet memory of the civil war from the pov of our deafeted communist camp, that Aggelopoulos so beautifully expresses

>>48202
"Fossil Fools?" I only saw "Sorry to Bother You." I thought it was alright if not somewhat forgettable. Maybe one of the lesser of the wave of Black horror films in recent years. Actually I think a lot of Jordan Peele's films were kinda meh and forgettable.

Also I'm curious how that movie or Boots Riley's other work(never seen any) relate to Digger.

Hey, now i get your reasoning, but i still would have to disagree (also yeah, we're twins, the other guy is sitting right next to me)
As you pointed out, the color pallette became alot less original (which is self-evident) but i'm not sure if it makes sense to even re-release the original comic as it is. People that like this original style will read the classic, but the new comic will be more understandable (in terms of the styling choice atleast) for a broader audience, you could argue that it looks worse, but id say its just less original, such safe colors are more popular (they wouldn't put them in all the "darker" comic books if it didn't sell). And before you say that its the lack of originality killing the comic books, i'll disagree in advance. It was alot harder at the time to make comics, but now, since anyone able to draw can publish there is no lack in colorful experiments, you just have to look for something less popular.

The recolor is amazingly amateurish. It lacks depth (in the literal sense) and focus. Let's be real though the future of comic remasterslop is going to be AI, even worse, and not a penny will go to even untalented hack artists who could at least eek out a living from their butchery in the 2000s. Comics aren't going to die because they got worse, but because everyone's on their phone unironically. People only buy them out of nostalgia the only new big names I can think of are either anime or from the early 2010s.

Strange, first one seems more visually clear, yet the second one has better contrast.

Whilst we are waiting for episode seven, i see no reason why we should not discuss what we have seen already.

I personally enjoyed the show, and the symbolism of how the characters personalities in relation to their bodies was quite interesting.

as an aside, teletubbies is worth examining because it champions a particular style of pedagogy that is now largely discredited, it was meant to teach children how to speak but it turns out them bumbling and repeating words like imbeciles was actually counterproductive. does this it at least not strike you as fun trivia to tell your friends?

>but teens and preteens who would be going through a at least some emotions of inadequacy, particularly if you identify as queer. adults can relate because they were teenagers once and can feel emotionally moved too. you'd think this was obvious!
ok so it's (somehoww) worse written steven universe, that's fine, again, but if you're an adult i return to my point in saying you should challenge yourself w/something more complex and better written

>>48224
> i return to my point in saying you should challenge yourself w/something more complex and better written
i wouldn't call this a "point", rather it's a cop-out meant to short circuit any discussion because you have nothing to say, but it's hidden in a a paper thin veneer of pretentiousness. like i said, i was recommended this by a girl who is very much into art movies. hell, fucking sam bodrojan liked TADC, and she's as pretentious as they come. there's no reason why you can't enjoy this and also la chinoise or whatever.

>>48226
i've said a lot in this thread, all of which is related to my point
>veneer of pretentiousness
veneer? in the sense that i think i and all over adults are and should be above this? of that i've made no secret, friend
>there's no reason why you can't enjoy this and also la chinoise
i'm not saying you can't, i'm just saying it's impossible to enjoy them for the same reasons and that i don't think anyone who's watched this has watched la chinoise. i think that's a problem

Perhaps "Sharpen my intent" works better, as it removes the inane

Finished:

Sharpen my intent, murder, that
This knife slither amongst thy blood
And empty it of life; come, I'll see thee
Though thoust seest not. I'll right
The wrong and upon gallows stand,
Delivering thee unto hell and with
Devils hang

  2. start an invite-only fanfic repository

Would I love thee still
If upon return met
Another face colder
More to spurn, and more
Still in loving so did again
Watch thee lasting go?

Not I, I'll say, and chide
Myself for bitterest of
Dreams so poorly rent;
Poorer still that art of
Men which in dreaming
Still ever hopes to see
Thee once again.

What do we think of this series pilot, Leftypol?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCAdbUaMlAE&vl=en

I find the other Glitch studio shows (and a lot of indie Youtube animation, for that matter) to be good aesthetically, but their writing kind of juvenile and cringe in that "edgy teenager" way. But I thought Guinevere was nuanced and interesting in both its art an central thesis, with a fresh take on the "Fuck Disney/corporations" cyberpunk message:

>Knights of Guinevere is a show with tenderness and deep empathy in its heart for creative professionals (Andi) in a world where the most prestigious job they can aspire to—and that will let them make a living—is to work for a monolithic company that will extract their talent and energy and burn them up in order to fulfill its highest and only goal of asserting total market dominance even harder.

>Knights of Guinevere understands what it’s like to have the output of that monolithic corporation nonetheless inspire a lifetime of dreams and escapism, especially those dreams as a relief and refuge from a hard life (Frankie). This show loves the artists whose work’s beauty and essential humanity survive the crushing, grinding gears of corporate sensibilities and infuse the projects they’re a part of, that make it out into the world to touch other human hearts. It loves the dreamers who see that beauty and humanity in that art and are touched by it, who see the magic as children and carry that feeling with them all their lives.

>It’s a show with love for people, and righteous, radiant anger towards the corporation that would burn out, drain, and sicken those people, and kill their world and fill it with garbage, all in service to itself.

Pretty good so far, another banger on Glitch's belt.

It was good and I can't wait for the whole thing to be released. But it just made me think, why can't Western animation do spacial consistency. Like it feels like the world does not really have distance and the characters just bend the rules of reality to get places. Most western animation has this kind of consistency / pacing issue. But yeah it was great.

>>46659
I hadn't the words for this until you said it, but I think you're right. With anime you sometimes get a lot more liminal / en-route scenes, like stuff is still happening but they aren't teleporting just to The Place Where The Next Thing Happens as often.

>>46659
>But it just made me think, why can't Western animation do spacial consistency. Like it feels like the world does not really have distance and the characters just bend the rules of reality to get places.
I've noticed that a lot, especially in GoT. Like in the 5th season one character makes a trip of thousands of miles in a sailing ship in a matter of days. Recently in alien earth similar disregard is shown for the time it takes to travel. The general tendency just seems to be "whatever the plot needs."

Imo it's part of a much larger writing problem that seems to be effecting media where little or no thought is paid to how things actually work or why. The only consideration seems to be how spectacular or melodramatic a particular scene might be in the moment.
