After finishing watching S2 of Squid Games, I was thinking to myself, wondering, how do the Squid Games actually work, or more specifically, where does all of the funding come from, and who exactly is behind it all? When you think about it, between the cash prize of over $31 million USD, pay for...

Seeing this reminds me of how, in the TNG era shows, the view of any non-Federation Starship's bridge always seems to somehow manage to only ever show the Captain. You never see any other bridge crea in the background and certainly not foreground, almost like they're all deliberately designed...

It's not about command structure so much as it's about responsibilities. By having a fleet commander, like an Admiral, not directly command their own flagship, allows them to focus on commanding their fleet. It frees them from having to tell a helmsman which way to go, how fast, riding targets...

To get things back on topic. It always annoys me in (mostly) sci-fi where they have Admirals commanding captaining their own flagships. This doesn't happen in real life because they're too busy commanding their fleet, this is why they have Falg Captains who are in direct command of the flagship...

It looks like there are several things in this pic that can be used for scale if they can be ID's. The blue cart in the back is a good one, of course the woman in the picture is very good if she can be identified and her height found out, and her ID could possibly be used.

This reminds me of how people complain about CG, green screens, and set extension but when you compare this to how to the OT and other films were shot, it's not that different. Instead of a green screen and a CG background/set extension added in post, you'd have nothing and a matte painting...

That looks pretty good. I might actually pick it up when it comes out. But I'd still wiati on reviews and pricing as well as what kind of sav system it has. If it's checkpoint/auto-save, then forget it, I'll wait to see if it's available for free from Epic,or Prime/ But if it's not ridiculously...

No offense, but that picture proves nothing. There's nothing in the picture with the Herbie bucket for scale. And it's clearly a comp, so there's no telling whether the pic of Herbie is even to scale. Then taking that pic and putting it into the screenshot doesn't prove anything since we don't...

Keep in mind that Herbie is solidly in the foreground in this picture and closest to the camera, meaning that he's going to appear bigger than everything next to and behind them. And I'm not sure that this photo wasn't a comp job, the shadows under Herbie and Galactus look fake to me so they may...

From what I've read, Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are set to return and reprise their roles as Lone Star and Dark Helmet. Other cast members include Bill Pullman's son and Josh Gad. While Mel Brooks is also set to return as Yogurt, he won't be involved in the writing or directing of the sequel...

Not that it matters, but ti doesn't necessarily have to be AI generated. It could just as easily be a Photoshop job. If I had all of the elements, I could put it all together in Photoshop in 15 minute or sos.

Being a little pedantic here, but the AK-47 was retired decades ago. The Soviets retired them and adopted the AKM, which was really just an improved AK-47. The AKM gave way to the AK-74, which was an AK chambered in 5.45mm. And from what I understand, the 74 was retired years ago, and Russia now...

I don't think that anyone could successfully remake The Princess Bride; it was lightning in a bottle. It had all of the right people in the right places at exactly the right time.

Maybe, maybe not. But if you were a producer/director, who would you rather bank on some total unknown or the child a well-known actor with the potential of name recognition?

All I can say is that life's not fair, and at the end of the day, filmmaking (to include stage and TV) is a business Producers and directors are more likely to cast the child of a well-known actor than some random actor off the street because they're hoping that name recognition brings more...
