All bad bands, none of which as annoying as FOB. Godawful. I'd rather litsten to dental drills.

Awful. Worst band of the last 30 years.

"The evil is defeated"

I swear Panic and Fall Out Boy are like musical herpes that never seem to go away. The worst bands from a terrible era of music that have somehow persisted.

And then using thnactual orchestral universal music for Chris Evans is hilarious.

There is certainly a difference between horror as a military and horror as a mechanic Doesn't anyone find Anne Rice vampire novels scary?

God this just happened to me today. I had recently bought a copy of Pillars of the earth and was killing a few minutes before an appointment. The author starts off just telking a nice story of how he became I treated in cathedrals in his younger years even as he was not religious and how everyone thought he was nuts for writing something g other than the spy novels he was making bank with through the 80s. Then he mentions getting stuck on the last act until he decided tie into some very specific historical events of which I'm knowledgeable ans its like dammnit!

Im.not arguing against any copyright at all, but there's also not much argume t for thr current 95 year limit thst wouldn't hold just as much at 70 and thr current laws were pushed several times due to the interest of one specific studio and one specific property. It's pretty absurd.

You can buy a real nice Criterion disc of Night of the Living Dead or The Kid or a Kino Lorber disc of Nosferstu with the original score.

There are movies that Arrow and Criterion, shout etc would love to put out, that they've actively pursued for years but aren't allowed to do so because either the rights holders won't let them, or it's not even clear who the rights holders even are.

You can get bargain bin 100 movie DVD packs that contain Night of the Living Dead and Chaplin films or you can get really nice restorations from Criterion and Kino Lorber.

The less a piece of media is able to circulate the higher chance it has of becoming lost.

Many of the films that are lost are lost because there was 1 copy held by the owner that were destroyed in various ways. There have been thousands of films destroyed in fires at the major studios, or destroyed by the studios on purpose. There are films and TV episodes thst only still exist because copies weren't returned according to policy or because they were pirated. Nosferatu was found in violation of Bram Stokers copyright and all copies were ordered destroyed. The film was nearly entirely lost on purpose.

Today, Warner Brothers properties not already pirated or on disc could very easily go up in smoke like the Batgirl movie if WB decides its in their interest.

The vast majority of Disney's holdings are not available on streaming.

Disney might not be interested in playing or releasing a given Fox film from 1951, but no one else is allowed to either.

Films becoming lost isn't just a 1920s problem. It's actually becoming a big issue for a lot of 90s independent film, the rights caught up in complex webs of defunct financiers. In some case the elements might be available but efforts to restore or distribute them are hindered by the legal situation even though no one is exploiting the copyright. Under the original copyright laws, unless intentionally renewed, the rights from movies from 1994 would already be lapsing and those materials would be freed up.

It's really only a tiny tiny fraction of films thst actually get thst kind of attention and being under copy right actually prevents the proliferation and increases the likelihood of films being lost entirely.

Every year Public Domain day mostly just hilights hoe absurd thr US public domain laws are to begin with. Fritz Lang has been dead for almost 50 years. Basically the entire crew, cast, entire potential audience of anyone who could have seen the film upon release have been dead foe years. There's little reason Metropolis shouldn't have been in the public domain years ago, and little films from, say, 20, years after it shouldn't already be also.

Under the original laws, films from the early 90s would be entering now unless specifically renewed.

Hasn't really held true after the advent of home video. Gen x has been very successful in remarketignbits childhood faves.

A few months back my parents called me. They were extremely excited to hear in some documentary that the dog in a boy and his dog also played Tiger, the dog in the Brady Bunch and thought I would be equally excited to learn that factoid. They were 100% correct.

https://youtu.be/UARrOsNPviA in this video, around the 47 minute mark they cover their "mega frame" techninique of rendering more of the image to the sides to create the non imax versions of the shot when Villeneuvr wasn't haply with the traditional cropping approach.

No. I attended an animation conference at Webster University last Spring. One of the the presenters was Kristin Pratt, formerly of DNEG who served as the layout supervisor on Dune.

The Imax versions isn't the wider image. What you describe is indeed the more typical approach but wasn't the approach they used in several shots in Dune. I'll try to find some dirrct comparison and vfx reels but in a presentation I attended with thr layout supervisor, and in other reels I've seen, they explained how with the way certain shots were framed in IMAx, there wasn't a good way to crop it down and so they did indeed commit resources to creating more imagery to create the less square aspect ratio versions.

What nice about Dune is that wile creating the Non-imax versions, instead of essentially pan and scanning, cropping out a more rectangular image from the IMAX scenes, they actually digitally added to the sides of the image to create the more rectangular version. Watching the more normal theatrical version, you aren't losing visual information as you normally would.
