The camera technique in the elevator transitions is the "Hitchcock shot". The camera dollies back or forward while zooming to match, creating the illusion that the subject is staying at the same distance while the FoV changes. Normally it's used with more depth in the scenery, to make it seem like the world is dizzily expanding or contracting behind the subject, while they fall into or rise out of it. They're doing a more subtle version here, where it's mainly the subject that's changing.

Hey just letting you know that invincible season three starts up on Thursday, and there's also been a trailer released for the new mha vigilantes anime that's coming out april 7th it'll probably run until the fall season which is when I assume s8 comes out. Just letting you know :)

The camera technique for elevator transitions is the Hitchcock shot, or a dolly shot, an example of it being used is the movie jaws when Martin Brody is sitting in his beach chair and the camera zooms in, doing this shot also causes some distortions which is why sometimes the faces look weird. it's nice to see Dylan caring for Irving even his he is being too hostile it's nice to know he does care about his friend safety.

np :) loads of fun stuff to watch this year

alright, big one: if you had to pick one Ricken quote to live your life by what would it be? Mine would be "Bullies are nothing but bull and lies"

Naj

I really like that you're taking Ricken seriously. I honestly never even considered him to be more than a Zoolander homage. Either way he's lead you to some interesting places. You talked about being burned by mystery box shows before, which I understand but I also feel like they can be used effectively to explore characters. I remember really enjoying The Leftovers but being irritated with Lost--narratively they're both a total mess but I feel like The Leftovers pulls it off by focusing on the internal character journeys.

Also they’re dropping 3 invincible episodes at once 🤯

At 3:00 I think what makes the image look weird is that it's a circle with two lines going down, which gives the impression that the facility is on top of a hill, but it's all just on a flat plain.

I don't remember the exact phrasing but I like the one about how literature itself is wrong and he's right. Love the energy

Yeah I think it can be ok it just depends on what the show leans on. Every show has narrative holes somewhere. It gets painful when the mystery is the majority of the intrigue but there's no payoff

“The difference between man and machine is that man can think for themselves. Also machines are made of metal and man is made of skin” is a banger

Swanlady

One could say this episode was... goated (I'll see myself out) Also, the most unrealistic thing in this show so far has to be Petey's phone battery. How is that thing still on??

Mahni Alizadeh

do you... not think that rich people exploit poor people? Like obviously there is nuance on a case by case basis but I feel like we can't deny that it's the general societal trend, outliers notwithstanding

My favorite would be: "A good person follows the rules, a great person follows himself."

Vincent

I don't think he denied that, just that the art used to reflect this reality has become so trite and on-the-nose that it no longer has any value as a reflection or deconstruction of society.

Arakis

Yeah, I return to my original thought that they're not working, they're being studied. I would be upset if that's not the case and it's actually something mystical and arcane going on. Have you seen The Cabin in the Woods? Where it's real, then it's not, then it actually is?

RichiPete
>>163463770

I'm replying to vincent but it won't let me for some reason I see where you're coming from, but on this point I highly disagree. Just because something is a popular discussion or critique in culture that is littered with "trite" depictions it doesn't weaken a piece of art's message. I know that's not what he's neccessarily saying but being a long time supporter I've noticed when it comes up, goodwin tends to "side" or give greater leniancy to people in positions of power and that is a bit frustrating at times

Mahni Alizadeh
>>163463770

Also to your point Richi, I don't think Severance is all that subtle about who its siding with, and I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with that

Goodwin never denies the exploitation of the poor by the rich. I think he simply isn't impressed when a story boils down to: "Rich People Exploit Poor People", because there isn't much utility to be found in that message. He cares a lot about practicality, nuance, and insightful writing. I think most people know that wealth inequality and exploitation exist, so ANOTHER depiction of JUST THAT isn't all that groundbreaking or useful to him. Also, it can be used as a lazy plot device (I'm sure he's well aware, as he's seen a ton of movies and shows).

To fully give this topic justice I would need to write a book haha. But as simply as I can put it... I just don't think how much money someone has in their bank account has any causal relationship in either direction with their behavior and is not in itself an appropriate or accurate measure of character. It's also not any sort of wrong-doing in itself. Being rich doesn't mean someone is evil / exploitative / etc any more than being poor makes someone good or virtuous. And when it goes well, wealth means having done a lot of good, or at least providing a lot of value. And so I can't accept these class-based judgements without looking at the specifics of the person or the situation. And I suspect that the evil we might find by looking isn't going to be the money itself, but other qualities we already know to be wrong, like corruption, deceit, willingly doing harm for profit, or an abuse of power that creates the wealth. Yet I think this is often used as a cop-out in media to immediately frame good vs bad, to dbiscuit's point. ------ As a side note, I suspect that some of the temptation to treat the rich as an evil class (putting aside envy to try to take a higher side of the argument) is the assumption that wealth is a zero sum game, someone wins and someone loses in a 1:1 relationship, from my pocket to yours. But this forgets the concept of synthesis, and the fact that in a consensual, transparent exchange, surplus value is being created between the two parties.

replying to Alex and this thread - I hear what you're saying. At a certain point though, doesn't the discrepancy in wealth speak for itself? I could work my entire life doing what I do which I believe is of value to the world and I will never make even a fraction a billion dollars. America has almost 600,000 homeless people every night and most of the nation living paycheck to paycheck. Do you think there should be a limit on money people can make? Even a .5% tax increase on billionaires, all billionaires, and they still would have more money than all of us put together. To me, that's an injustice that is propagated by the obscenely wealthy. It's not all black and white, it's not a zero sum game, but it's a system that is inherently easy to take advantage of, and the ones who can most easily do that are the ones with the most money. Just my two cents. this is a cool conversation
