The only acceptable Homeric colors are white, rosy, and wine-dark.

i thought you said "homoerotic colors" and it still made sense tbh

Watch I Love Boosters! It's a mind bending, communist, feast for the senses!

Wow LaKeith Stanfield looks good in that poster

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

That's hilarious

But I do feel like a rainbow is too notable to just incidentally have in the background of a meaningful scene. Like if a butterfly landed on someone's nose during shooting that's pretty cool and all but most likely its not gonna make the final cut, and not because of some Hollywood trend.

Seems like this is something they would have just fixed in post though, idk

Light is both a particle and a wave which is basically bisexual

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

thinking about the universal constant and feeling my sexuality affirmed

Wow. Sounds like that would have been a really cool shot? And they just said, "Nah we want it boring." lol

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 23 hours ago

Depends on the scene it's being shot for. A rainbow could absolutely fuck up the mood you're going for. The sky in big budget movies is almost always changed in post anyway now because cg sky is easy and holding up production for a rainbow is expensive. I'd be more concerned about burning daylight to wait out a rainbow that can be fixed later. I'm pretty familiar with The Odyssey and can guess the broad strokes Nolan is gonna paint with cause he's Nolan, I'm gonna guess a rainbow in the background would be really distracting

Straighwashing the Odyssey. Smh

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 43 points 1 day ago

Photons, is it gay to refract light?

[-] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

Me, refracted: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me, absorbed: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

Green is the most useless of colors, never absorb it!

[-] Jentu@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago

Just have the post/vfx house mask over the rainbow?? The post house is probably replacing a lot of background stuff already. This feels like the world’s worst lie.

Next up: production shut down because lead actor got a pimple.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 23 hours ago

The sky in almost every modern movie isnt the sky. That shit sucked to deal with for continuity and it's easy to make a cg sky. The whole thing is gonna get color corrected anyway, the rainbow probably wouldnt even show up after that

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

Why would that be remotely bad for the shot!?!

[-] Tervell@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

color baaaaad

grey desaturated slurry gooood, it's "realistic" (pls don't ever look outside, believe me, the real world has no such thing as "colors") and "serious" and "gritty" (which is a good thing, because as we all know art that is not gritty and serious is inherently lesser)

[-] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

It's 2006-2015 era gritty videogame graphics all over again. That shit suuuuuuuucks.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

The cracker's yearn for the moors of England

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

I feel like there’s got to be some connection between this cinematography style and the “sad beige” interior design aesthetic.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 23 hours ago

Depends om the mood the shot is trying to convey. Just cause it would look pretty doesnt mean it's right for the scene. Also rainbows tend to go away and you dont want a rainbow in some shots and not in others. It's a shot for a movie and rainbows are distracting and tend to be associated with light heartedness and or hope. If you dont want your scene to convey that, its generally good to not have a visual reflection of it

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

Because they want to be gritty and self-serious, so something beautiful and whimsical and (as the post highlights), worst of all, colorful is anathema to what they are going for.

It's especially ridiculous because that's like the best place to put a rainbow, his palace in Ithaca as he makes his return, though it would fit a few of the other islands too.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 23 hours ago

That might not be the scene they were shooting at the time. Tom Holland isnt playing Odysseus. He's playing Telemachus. Most of if not all of his scenes are gonna be around the castle in Ithaca

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

The public would crash tf out at a rainbow for its lgbt themes. Good way to have the movie flop.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

Dam I think you actually stumbled upon the real reason, has "my little pony" become a new dogwhistle among these people?

Tom Holland is playing Odysseus, it’s already my little pony-esque lol. unless they read the character as more of a Michael Cera type guy

[-] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

Tom Holland is playing Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. Matt Boston Damon is playing Odysseus.

Can't they just edit it out?

[-] Sam@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Yet another reason why The Return (2024) is the best odyssey movie.
