For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.
The difference is that the Pixar poster didn’t use a Getty stock image, nor copypasted the same shark three times in the upper left. The folks at Pixar also understand how light works underwater, and properly applied that to the characters, so that they’re believably integrated into the scene, whereas squatting-Aqua-Slav up there is just slapped into the picture with minimal use of color filters, and contrast levels that are laughably incongruous. Plus, for a man that’s supposed to be underwater, his hair sure looks like it’s just being blown by a fan. And where the fuck is the sense of scale here? This looks like something out of a Zoobooks magazine taped to the wall of a 10-year-old’s bedroom in the mid 90’s.
…Sorry, but I just cannot get over how unbelievably lazy this poster is. The Asylum comes up with better posters than this.
The day after The Last Jedi came out I was shopping for a birthday present for a friend at a nerd store and these two guys walk up behind me, obviously wanting to look at where I was looking. One of them said “probably buying something for her boyfriend…stick to blow jobs bitch it’s not like you know what you’re looking at” so I turned around and say “Luke Skywalker dies.”
They look at me speechless, they hadn’t seen the movie yet. “What did you say?”
“I said Luke Skywaler dies. He force projects himself to fight Kylo Ren and then dies. And if you don’t get the fuck away from me I’ll tell you how Snoke dies too”
