Revisiting The Visual Effects Of ‘The Jungle Book’ Where ‘Everything Was Hard’

TREKMATCH! # 779 - TNG's "The Nth Degree" vs 2000's High Fidelity

HIGH FIDELITY

A music snob who owns a record shop gets dumped and laments all the times he's been dumped (because he was and is a jerk tbh). When I saw this in the theater I knew Jack Black from Mr Show but realized this was really his star turn - The theater was outta control every time he did hilarious shit. Working in a record store was one of those "dream college student jobs" I never could get like working in a movie theater so I just had to bag groceries like a schmuck instead.

GRADE: B

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION - "The Nth Degree"

Barclay gets zapped by a Smart Ray and loses all his neuroses and turns himself into the Enterprise Computer and asks Troi (his therapist) out on a date. I do like the idea of the alien race who turn out to be reverse explorers,  bringing new life forms to them instead of getting up off their space asses and flying around, sort of like Doordash of seeking out new life.

GRADE: C+

Victory to High Fidelity, so Movies are up 391-388!

Rob Legato: The Art of Creating Awe

Rob Legato creates movie effects so good they (sometimes) trump the real thing. In this warm and funny talk, he shares his vision for enhancing reality on-screen in movies like Apollo 13, Titanic and Hugo.

Awesome, indeed!

Creating a film which is based on true stories indeed poses a great challenge for its creators. Just like for Rob Legato when he created the special effects for blockbuster films like the Apollo 13, Titanic and Hugo. Now, Apollo 13 and Titanic were both based on real-life stories (Well, for the case of the Titanic, the Jack-and-Rose-love-story may be fictionalized but the tragedy is very real). I think it is interesting to note that Legato had put into consideration the emotions of the viewers as he tried to recreate on the cinemas two of the memorable events in human history.

At the start of the talk he said that he discovered something about the human brain, which is quite true: what we feel alters our perception of things. I had personally watched the three aforementioned films. Legato’s replica of the sunken Titanic is no different from James Cameron’s actual footage of the ship when he went on an expedition miles below the Atlantic. Personally, during the film’s video playback, I could never tell which one is Legato’s model and which one is the real thing. Also I was surprised by the fact that on Apollo 13 no actual footage of the Saturn V mission was used during the filming because usually, film makers do that when they’re trying to put a true story on cinema. As what Ron Howard (Apollo 13 director) said, they basically started from scratch. And it’s amazing how Legato’s replica of the take-off impressed the astronaut Buzz Aldrin! I can say, Rob Legato’ special effects were really good that it almost look authentic for the viewers.
