With the spreading of photography tools is this becoming more accessible also for smaller teams? Like I'm thinking, a 360° camera can help? Then all those GoPro arrays…

I wanted to post but need to do some search, on a new photogrammetry app for drones. Came up one late night I was youtubing (yes you get the most original ads sometimes) and was a full 10-15 min video demoing a drone flight and subsequent assembly of the imagery, showing different flight paths give different results.

I dunno, to me -a hobbyist- looking at this stuff makes me think that even for big teams this is a "waste of time". I mean, scanning areas take hours, and I can't imagine how long it takes to optimise all?

The SP video that was posted was quite bland imo. I liked the traversing and how you can "recover" from an explosion that throws you in the air and switch to jet pack and wall-walk, but that was about it.

The Titan fight was brief and indoor(!) nothing special in terms of dodging enemy fire or smashing stuff.

The extremely pronounced bobbing, and in particular those animations of the gun being lowered off screen, really annoyed me almost as if I was going to get motion sickness

From what I've seen looks beautiful but the only-at-night setting think is boring.

Also the new characters seem quite bland.

I definitely feel like playing a game like Gears, I mean I need something violent and without need of brainpower; I would rather pick up the remasters since I never finished the first.

Never heard of that Portman/Braff movie. I actually never noticed her acting with him.

Dont think I've seen the monkey vivisection film as well.

Maybe is the behind the scenes where they show the preparation of the meal served to Indy in The Temple Of Doom

The Pool?

I'm officially a UK resident now, got back today the papers from my application.

Yeah @(HP), realised after posting about the rocks that probably was the first but couldn't be arsed to edit. Also knew War Games… happy with myself anyway

Is the last one posted one of the Piraña movies?

Aliens?

Feel stuck. Fed up with this job, sent several applications out in the past weeks but not even invite to an interview. I need to redo my website and try to work on projects to have a proper portfolio, but every time I put myself to it feels just a side step from trying to learn videogame development stuff.

Also things are gonna change around here, management is gonna change and there will be a gap that has been "offered" to me (invited to apply for the job that has still to come up)... I'll probably do it just to get some more money eventually, the management experience for the CV and the hope to have more time for myself, but I'm skeptical of the outcome.

Feel like dropping everything and going around the world for a while (doesn't help I'm reading the book by a person I know who did this a few years ago, when he was one year younger than me now).

Ah @Buddy, with darker theme I meant it's just grittier; not the actual night setting which was objectively too much (in BvS, struggled as well with 3D*). That's why I wasn't happy to hear they were re-shooting and editing Suicide Squad to make it "more fun".

*3D is shit, I'm actually making a case if it is curated for three whole length of the movie: after the first 45-60 minutes everything looked flat, I actually removed the glasses coupled times. I think it's just n expensive gimmick and promised not to pay for that anymore. Only movie in 3D I enjoyed start to finish was Gravity. I also noticed that there glasses cause me tunnel vision and the screen feels smaller

PS: I'll try going tonight @Sprony, depends if we do drinks for a leaving due

I found The Running Man has been recently made available on NowTV or another stream platform I subscribe, so gonna watch it soon. Also Marathon Man, some Clint Eastwood movie…

Sorry, can't really answer haven't played it (not playing CSGO in quite a while)

You can mimic objects, aliens mimic objects. This thing got very interesting

I found this new trailer much less hyping than the first. Looks good though.

Watched Basic for the first time in english. Well only watched it once when I was a teenager. I think is one of those movies that more brutally cheat the audience with mindfuck treatment. I have been trying to understand how it all puzzles up together but I struggle. I think there must be a fundamental flaw, since it never became one of those cult movies like Memento.

Also started watching The Flash that finally is available (on Now TV in UK), first 3 episodes are good. I'm annoyed by the fact that they are using brothers and friends from peer shows, instead of being funny easter eggs they become just distracting. Also casting the old Flash actor was quite silly. He seems pretty good as an older man, but I've seen some pictures of next seasons and it's just silly choice. It incredibly annoyed me that they hired the actor that is playing Victor Zsasz in Gotham to be a meta human. At first I thought that was going to be a call back, then realised it wasn't. Of course time lines are completely different (Gotham is "past") but what the hell, how difficult is to hire someone original? It makes it feel like they had him signed for so many episodes, changed something and had to give him a part elsewhere.

Friend of mine is watching it and when I happened to be there I was convinced she was much further into the story. There's so much happening in the show.

Looks nice but beware of those "tiny" railings, it makes the space look huge. With environments like these its always a good idea to have something relateable in the scene that establishes scale.

I have more of a problem with the vertical railings, to me the space feels quite of the right size. Such a wide simmetry looks a bit boring though, door at the end is highly impractical.

Liked the old name better

Yes, agreed Buddy; thing I'm worried is that they don't look at reviews because they are making enough money even from shit movies just because of the hype and fanbase, plus superhero craze, so they feel compelled to persevere. Especially DC that is playing catch up and has planned so much now that they can't reverse course now.

Only hope is that they will take reviews into account and at least correct course... Captain America The First Avenger was a shit movie according to pretty much everyone when it came out (it's incredibly good compared to some other shit but I digress) then Winter Soldier was very good and Civil War is being reviewed as the best superhero movie of recent times.

I wonder if they can fire people like Zack Snyder or if they are tied too much in contracts that would cost too much to cancel. And to be fair, I like the general grittier vision that DC movies have, compared to the glossy Marvel movies.

Totally agree with Sprony on the last one, and same reason why I didn't like BvS. To be honest I didn't like any Zack Snyder movie, I think he's a shit director.
