Article Comment – The Unofficial Reading List of the Highly Educated Characters in 'Captain Fantastic'

And anyone who studies philosophy must certainly have never read Plato's Republic. I mean, what importance did he have to philosophy, really? #iamverysmart

Yes, it's a well known fact Fyodor Dostoevsky is a terrible writer and all his works are garbage. #iamverysmart

Article Comment – The 'Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?' Video is Flat Wrong—Here's Why

'Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?'
The colour grading is just the icing on the cake imo.
The cinematography and production design are downright lazy and uninspired to me.
I stopped watching Marvel movies a while a go but watched civil war because of all the hype surrounding it. I couldn't believe how unbelievable crappy the overall aesthetic is in the movie. It feels generic to the point of parody.
There is no texture or depth to the images. Most scenes in these movies look like at best, a car commercial, and at worst, an episode of sitcom- just evenly and brightly lit, with no attempt to let the cinematography tell any of the story. All the superheroes wear the same civilian clothes. It honestly feels like marvel movies are just plain, uninspiring images that are handed over to a VFX studio to make interesting.
I couldn't believe the airport scene, mentioned above, when I first saw it. These movies literally have the budget to do anything and they shoot what could be a stand out scene in what essentially looks like an empty parking lot.
And I mean, most of these movies tell the same origin story. Iron man one and two are almost the same goddamn movie. At least try to add variation and depth to your aesthetics!
Like when sound came along and set cinematography back to basics, it's as if CGI is doing the same thing.
It's disappointing because I'm sure plenty of talented people work on these movies, and like them or not they're going to be dominating the multiplexes for the best part of the next decade.
