The coolest and funniest thing about starship troopers/total recall/RoboCop is for being some of the most iconic badass sci fi action movies of all time with extremely clever commentary and parody of modern military/corporate society.. he intentionally made them shlocky to like make fun of over the top American action cinema (the board room shooting scene in RoboCop) and ended up making some of the most iconic action movies of all time

The Contagion movie is one ive seen several times starting in middle school science class. About 4-5 months into the Coronavirus lockdown I realized It got so much right about how a pandemic would happen and how society would act.

[@marlonmarinay5102]

and they even predict it that it comes from bat

[@BanterBus]

@@marlonmarinay5102 the knowledge that a lot of viruses came from bats was definitely known by the people who wrote the script. There’s SARS in the movie (the bat virus from the early 2000s that everyone forgot about), which is literally the strain of virus that the current Coronavirus 19 was as well

[@pgplaysvidya]

it was the most watched movie on netflix during the first few months of the pandemic. still, it's funny how it didn't get everything right. For example everybody wanting to get the vaccine. or no vaccine denialists. i guess the difference is that people are dropping like flies in that world.

[@MerelvandenHurk]

@@BanterBus Indeed, it's been known for a long while that bats are a huge risk for new zoonotic viruses. Bats have a crazy strong immune system, meaning that a lot of viruses can just survive on bats without killing their host (which is beneficial for a virus, because dead host cells can't produce new virus particles), but the viruses still have to be really strong to survive the bat's immune system. So what might be a proverbial flea for a bat is a huge problem for a human because our immune systems really aren't built for that. And this knowledge has been out for a while. It really bothers me that some people take it as "proof" that it was "planned" but that's like saying the weather forecast is a conspiracy because they predicted the hurricane before it became a hurricane. It would've been nice if we'd just taken more precautions to prevent zoonotic pathogens from even reaching the human population. With our population density it goes from zero to shitstorm in the blink of an eye.

[@tarisznya]

@@pgplaysvidya it's easier to deny the vaccine, if you're not immediately going to die from the virus. Only a certain kind of person would IRL (old, sick etc.) In the movie, it did not matter, you would die either way if you're not immune.

YOOO. For those who are going to start the Stormlight Archives I highly recommend reading Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker before you start The Way Of Kings.

@@wren7195 Oh boy, I'm not the one you asked, but I got into Sanderson's work (relatively) recently so maybe I can shed a bit of light. My advice would be to start with The Final Empire, first book of the Mistborn trilogy. It's fantastic as a standalone, so if you don't feel it once you're done you won't have wasted much. It does give a pretty good taste of what Sanderson is about, so I like that as a starting point. If you end up enjoying The Final Empire, finish up the first mistborn trilogy. From there it's Warbreaker and the Stormlight Archive after that. At least, I started in that order and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once you're in there are a lot of differen't ways to go, but each one is totally valid. It's a massive universe but TOTALLY worth exploring. There's always another secret.

[@wren7195]

Stephen, S0LAR thank you both so much! Mistborn was the only one I knew. He wrote in an interview for Wheel of Time that WoT took "the farmer" and turned him into a king, and he had always been fascinated by turning the trope on its head and having the king lose everything and thus ensues story! I've been dying to have something great to read lately, thank you both so much. Sounds like I need to jump onto the Mistborn train! Again, thank you both very much. Wish you guys all the best, stay safe out there! Oh gack forgot my disclaimer that I'm definitely not Wren from Corridor, I often forget to do that. Never want to impersonate anybody. Plus I'm a girl soooo... awkwardness ensues.... be well everybody

When I was a kid, I love the stop-motion animation of ED-209 because of how mechanical it was. When I became older and robots became all CG, they started looking boring to me. I think we really need to bring that stop-motion feel back

Yeah, but they should have linked the original video: watch?v=EfFI6L4m49g You can also find a link to the NSFW version there and don't even need to go to the corridor page for that.

[@thomasbarrycasey]

The 1988 movie Willow had some ground breaking effects. There was a morphing scene that gave me nightmares as a kid.

[@DarthFerder]

Speaking of morphing, react to ANCIENT VFX: Walter Donovan‘s death in the third Indiana Jones movie. It was done with practical masks, reverse footage and early morphing technology. It is great

[@braxbro7602]

Never watched the new robocop but knew right away that scene was filmed at the Vancouver Convention Centre

[@DarrenNoFun]

So, in film school my friend was like "I have a thing to show you" and it was the Our Robocop Remake and he was like "just put it on the small monitor, it's not safe for work" so we put it on and we're watching it and I look up at the big monitor (like we had 5 students watching it) and the 70 year old professor is just standing there watching over my shoulder at dudes getting their dicks shot off. Afterwards everyone turns around and sees him and he just said "... Interesting..." and then wandered off...

[@eugenevicknair2701]

Suggestion for you guys: you often talk about how using practical effects combined with CGI is usually a great way to go. And I can certainly agree having worked in 3D modeling and rendering for 25 years. How about a challenge where you take an older practical effect and punch it up or improve it with CGI? And I am thinking not of scenes or shots that are bad, but memorable scenes or scenes that were considered good or great but maybe were at the limits of the technology or that show their age today. Examples: the heads melting and exploding at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the chest opening and revealing teeth the cutting off Cooper's arms in The Thing, Emil getting mutated in the original RoboCop, the skeleton fight in Jason and the Argonauts. Can you improve on these classics? How about upgrading some of the effects in Metropolis and talking about how some of these early FX were accomplished?

[@jackmonyard4381]

I'm never to the channel but seeing you guys react pans labyrinth would be awesome if you haven't already. Specifically the monster at the feast.

[@blitzgirl6522]

@@MostafaAkbari7 I mean...aren't they kinda right? I'm 31 and it's amazing to think back on how much CGI and other things we take for granted have evolved. Video games aren't even that old, but they were part of a major shift in society. Because of my age, I was just old enough to experience VHS tapes, dial-up, and floppy discs before we moved on to CDs, USB, etc. With that experience, I can totally understand how many things seem "ancient" and strange to the current generation. 30 years is no small amount of time, especially with how fast everything changes these days.

[@zachs7347]

@Corridor Crew - Jurassic Park had a form of motion capture even before the example in this video. When the production realized that they were moving beyond stop-motion because CG was advanced enough that they could use that to animate the dinosaurs, they still utilized the stop-motion animators to animate little rigs that captured frame-by-frame poses of animals, that were then interpolated and cleaned up for the movie.

The way they animated the alien in Species was how they animated the bugs in Starship Troopers, and it looks fucking incredible in that movie

[@navaryn2938]

I get blown away by the first Starship Troopers movie every time. Crazy to think it came out in 97, it always looks as real as the first time i saw it. I think it has the perfect blend of cgi and practical effects. Too bad they'll never review it because of how violent it is

[@thork6974]

It's a little different in that the Troopers bugs were animated stop-mo style a la Jurassic Park instead of the rod-puppet method we see here. Although for quick actions of bugs getting killed they did loosen the joints an physically shake them around.

[@leah3270]
