Here, The Matrix now takes place in either Mexico or a late 2000's / early 2010's shooter game:

... or the original release version of Deus Ex Human Revolution.

The funny thing is that they obviously didn't have blue tint on the day, so this picture is probably exactly what it looked like while they were doing it.

No music, no sound effects, no graphics. Behind the scenes footage is so awkward it's amazing any movie gets made, and I love it.

I have a problem when watching a show or movie, and I'm a little bit stoned, that I start thinking about how it was filmed, the camera angles, and the actors in the scene. It really takes me out of the moment

[–] moendopi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

This is basically what I do all the time.

[–] ButteredBread@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

How much heavylifting does that tint need to be doing-

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 15 hours ago

I mean, yeah. The director told them to suck.

Twilight was the most "theater kids being theater kids" movie ever. The entire movie was people over acting as if that's what makes you a vampire. I kept waiting for Jon Lovitz to walk by yelling "ACTING!!!"

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

There's a parody called taintlight and they parody the overacting by overacting EVEN HARDER and it's the funniest fucking thing. The production value is exactly in the realm of "high school project" but that somehow makes it better.

[–] iatenine@piefed.social 52 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I mean... That's kinda what movies are...

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 3 points 17 hours ago

Imagine hiring theatre kids to act. Obviously they should be recruiting from business majors and STEM departments.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 38 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I saw a comment once that hollywood actors are all just the same "weird theater kids" from High School.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

... and 'politics is Hollywood for ugly people'.

I feel like Trump is the actual best possible example of that, along with the considerable set of shitass right wing commentators who are failed creatives/entertainers of some kind.

"I'm going to make it in hollywood, i was so good in my high-school production of "Oklahoma" there's no way I'm not going to make it."

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 3 points 7 hours ago

LoL, I mean its one of those one way connections. Like all Hollywood actors are weird theater kids but not all weird theater kids are Hollywood actors.

And its not all, but its probably more "most". But for the most part, some random, jock football player isn't turning into the next big time Hollywood actor, its the kid who did an overzealous Oklahoma production.

Actually probably not that kid either, they probably went on to broadway. Hollywood will be the one who did "a good job" as the reocuring background character.

Add in rich parents and basically.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

Yeah, all movies look weird and awkward behind the scenes. People don't realize how important framing is and how much is tweaked in post production.

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Super massive black hole

[–] beccaboben@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Twilight making me uncomfortable with or without tint!

I mean, yes, it's even more ridiculous. But that entire baseball scene was cringe as hell even in the theatre.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anyone have the original for comparison?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)
[–] ech@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

Robby looks like he's holding in a massive shit, or just failed to.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

Tbh it looks the same to me lmao

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

You know there was someone in the room saying..."ok that's fine, but what if we made it even bluer greener?" And so we ended up with that.

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've never seen this, but was one side playing baseball or some complex "umpire" joke.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, they were playing vampire baseball in a thunderstorm.

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've learned more and am more confused. But please don't explain further.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The movie is worth watching just so you can laugh at how bad it is.

Robert Pattinson actually turned out to be a fantastic actor.

I struggle with his Batman portrayal cuz he isn’t Michael Keaton, but he was AMAZING in the king

[–] JakoJakoJako13@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah the one side was playing baseball and the other side decided to break dance in center field. Turned into a massive musical dance off number. Juila Stiles was the judge.

Step Up to the Forks

[–] William492@sh.itjust.works -5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Without its signature blue tint, Twilight feels warmer and more grounded, replacing the cold, Pay for Your NBI Clearance Using GCash dreamlike atmosphere of Forks with a natural palette that makes the characters and settings appear more realistic. The romance between Bella and Edward becomes less ethereal and more intimate, shifting the film's mood from moody fantasy to a softer, contemporary love story.

Can you tell me again what's your drug of choice ?
