The Book of Boba Fett

[Mottrex]

In real life, yes. In Hollywoodland, esp. in the world of Star Wars, no. Besides any kind of tech/deus ex machina solutions to keep her alive there's things like rabbit holes, hiding behind a table, all manners of ways she could have survived that blast. Besides. I seem to recall a distinct pause between the time the droid was chasing after the Pylkes with their ice cream maker and when they cut to the outside and the bomb exploded. Enough time, in my opinion, for Garsa to have plausibly done something to have protected at least herself.

Its going to be like those Champion the Wonder horse/ The Rocketeer flick..

We get to see it again but also completely differently.

Garsa pulled one of her guests infront of her as a shield!

Probably..

Same.

I think they had such good feedback from all the practical effects thus far, so they decided to continue. Prosthetic work isn't easy, and to have them make his face longer, it would have required robotic puppetry, leaving less room for a human performance underneath. I still think his menacing demeanor played the same.

The only thing they might have done was moved it down in post like they did with the Mouth of Sauron, but again, that's minor squabbles. I think they're really pushing the idea that these cartoons are exaggerated, obviously.

I can get over it, like I did for Ahsoka's montrals/lekku. I get why they did it in the long run. Shaak-Ti was such a minor character with far more background appearances. Like it's said in the newer art book; to have Ahsoka up front and doing so many stunts, the prosthetics would have looked too fake if they made them super long. And animating them would have looked even faker.

I'm for it. It gives makeup FX workers jobs. Thumbs up over here.

This is what I don't get. There's always so many complaints/comments here about how CG sucks, and how the worst practical is always better than the best CG, and so on. Then when it comes to the live action Cad Bane, people are complaining how they should have used CG to make him look more like he did in the Clone Wars. What happened to CG sucks? I'd think that there'd be more praise over the producers choosing to use mostly or nothing but prosthetics for Cad.

I’ve heard other stories about Anthony from close friends of mine..

I don’t like speaking negatively about someone.. all I will say is I’ll never rush to get his autograph or support him in anyway..

I used to be a huge fan of Lance Armstrong during the time frame when he was winning the Tour and had an autographed picture which I have since destroyed. Since then, I haven't pursued any autographs of celebrities as I learned my lesson. I don't really want to meet my heroes anymore...

That is an absolutely lovely picture!

I still love the story of the T-Rex malfunctioning with all the water on set and scaring the crap out of every one, because of how awesomely life like it was!

Definitely agree that CGI works well when used well. You can't beat JP in my opinion....but I also wanted to be a paleontologist when I was a kid, and am a dino nut !

Ok, pet peeve time. As a dino nut, you should know that the proper way to abbreviate Tyrannosaurus rex is T. rex. This is because the proper, scientific, way to abbreviate any animal, plant, or microorganism's scientific name is to capitalize the first letter of the genus, followed by a period, then the species names in all lower case.

You realize you don't know these people at all but can still appreciate their work. It would crush me though if it turns out Tom Hanks is a horrible person. He's about the only actor I hold out hope for...

I think the answer is it depends on the individual moment. I often end up enjoying practical much more than CGI but if it's done well and looks real, I really don't care which it is. There's usually exceptions to everything and to say that practical is always better for every situation is not entirely true.

I think the issue there is that we already had precedent. A long-established “look” for Cad Bane via CW that didn’t align perfectly with what we saw last Wednesday.

Again, if BoBF was the first look we ever got of Cad Bane, we all would have thought it was 100% awesome.

As far as “the worst practical is better than the best CGI”? That’s nonsense.

Compared to ...well as a kid we had wires on puppets dodgy blue lines round any effect shots..
The CG in Boba for a TV show is very good, better than a lit of movies out there..
I hated the fake Warm Sunset glows we got in the last Bond...it was horrendous but we did get better Vespers than in Boba

Thanks I cant take credit his lovely wife took it for us..

I like practical but there's amazing CGI that I don't even realize I'm looking at anymore. Technology just keeps getting better. I have so much trouble watching Beowulf and I am Legend (both in 2007) with the weird almost human faces.

As soon as we saw the new ship my son and I knew we had to have it in LEGO. Threw this together from random parts we had.

That’s awesome! Joek3rr would love to see this!

 

[Elevader]

I read that the finale was 72 minutes. But that’s just a rumor. The past two episodes for RR have both been 38 minutes, but that would seem strange for a finale.

In either case I don’t think they’ll be able to wrap it up fully, but Im also not sure think they planned to. It’s pretty obvious they are going for a shared universe here like Marvel. So I can see these stories blending into different shows.

I’m just waiting for Favreau and Filoni to read the continued criticism and name their shared storyline the Star Wars Television Favreau Universe. Or STFU, for short.

One thing I really haven't seen mentioned is that THIS Cad Bane is something like 30 years older than the last time we saw him in BB.

It's definitely on the list of stuff to BrickLink one of these days!

Yes, maybe they pale with age. I think the eyes not being squinty enough are what throws me off.

I was thinking about his age the other day - no idea how Duros age, but Fennec really worked him over in BB when he was (presumably) top of his game and she was a young twenty-something.

I wonder what that matchup would look like now.

Yeah I didn't post that to be microsplained.

It's also my pet peeve when others don't know this is the informal way of abbreviation. It's not wrong, it's just not the formal way and this isn't a formal setting. I'm currently not writing a thesis or discussing this in a class setting, it's merely a forum in which I'm talking about Jurassic Park. Which might I add if you're that pet peevy, Tyrannosaurus was a part of the Cretaceous period. It never ran with the likes of half of the dinos portrayed in JP.

Now if you want to go formal, here I am with sauropod tracks as well as a suborder theropoda of Velociraptor, both actually from the Jurassic era.

Anyway, back on topic.

I swear, I tried to find a meme of Vin Diesel in PITCH BLACK saying,

"Did NOT know who he was ******* with."

LOL

This made my day.
