Lord Darth Hunter Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 And Doc Hollywood to Cars?Oh yeah, that one too. Silly as this sounds, I never really got into Cars because it’s the one movie I couldn’t wrap my head around. I can understand talking toys, talking insects or monsters living in another dimension who needs kids’ screams to sustain themselves. I get a lot of eye rolls over this, but I like when animated movies have some semblance of reality woven into the world they're creating. The premise behind those other films is that they live in our world in a way people don’t see. The toys flop to the floor and stay still when humans are around. The insects try to stay away from humans as much as possible (there’s that one bug on the street begging with a sign that reads “A kid pulled my wings”). But the cars? The girl car laments how roads are no longer built correctly, just cutting through things. So the humans are building the roads? But how do the living cars exist in that same world?

Tank Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I like Cars, but if tou really think about that world there are some truly disturbing implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Film Theory on YouTube has a video that offers an explanation for living cars. It's fun, if nothing else. He does a bunch of videos where he gives crazy, scientifically backed theories on games and movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The only thing that blows my mind more than that Cars theory is the one that says the Flintstones is actually post-apocalyptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Jawa Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Instead of a remake, how about something like this: https://youtu.be/to2SMng4u1k The All-New Special, Really Special Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Instead of a remake, how about something like this: The All-New Special, Really Special EditionThe actual sabre fighting is cool, but the audio over dubs are awful. No need for the ROTS audio to play just before he kills ObiWan.. We all already know the significance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Jawa Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 And all the lens flares. No it's super cheesy, but it's impressive in concept. With someone who has actual taste and sense behind it, there could be a really cool fan-version of the OT made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah, this minus the bad editing (it took the Stormtroopers a minute to jog ten feet) and over the top bits, plus quality compositing would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 whats compositing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'm probably alone in thinking that the original is much better for the story and more meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 You're not alone, but I'm not that bothered about what happens to the OT (including the inevitable completely overhauled super-duper-extra-special edition) any more because I think enough people have put enough effort in to preserving the 77/80/83 theatrical releases. Compositing, but also look up match moving too (the wiki article on it isn't great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 whats compositing? An FX process wherein disparate types of shots or elements (like Alec Guinness's face, stunt actors on a green screen, and CG sets) are put together. ...as opposed to straight up full CG animation. Most movies these days have tons of compositing, even straight non-genre films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm anxiously awaiting the ESB 4K project. But with Lucas gone, I don't think we'll see any more tinkering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Maybe now that Disney finally owns the rights, we may get it. But, really, I don't think that the official version would be any better, other than being on a disc. They actually tracked down film from the theatrical version and scanned it frame by frame. It's not a hodgepodge edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
