They’re not gonna put every funny line in the trailer. Lol. Gotta keep the good shit for the movie experience.

People who haven’t read The Martian: Movie looks like Interstellar.

People who have read The Martian: ...Shut up.

Trailer for The Martian just got released and I’m pretty sure I’m emotionally compromised at seeing this novel brought to life.

Finished Sense8. It was a bit cheesy at times, but we all need some cheese in our life every now and then.

Plus, I dig the diversity. Lots of a diverse people with lots of diverse relationships and I’m here for every single one of them.

Actually, I was the very lowest ranked member of the crew. I would only be “in command” if I were the only remaining person. What do you know? I’m in command.

Are people really excited for the Martian? When was the last time Ridley Scott did something halfway decent?

[thenightlaw-blog]

Prometheus is a masterpiece. That’s right... I said it. Lol.

Anyway, regardless, The Martian is based on an incredible novel. So uh... I have high hopes?

If your head is still buzzing from seeing Mad Max: Fury Road and want to dive deeper into the sprawling madness that is Max’s desert universe, you’ll be happy to know that DC Vertigo is releasing a 4-issue comic book prequel based on George Miller’s masterpiece.

The first issue (out now) explores how the film’s villain, Immortan Joe, rose to power.

The second issue (out June 17th) reveals more backstory on everyone’s favorite post-apocalyptic ass-kicker, Imperator Furiosa.

The third and fourth issues (out July 8th and August 5th, respectively) focus on Max Rockatansky, and finally reveals the identity of the little girl Max continuously saw visions of, and why she constantly haunted him.

All four issues are written by George Miller, Nico Lathouris, and Mark Sexton, with art by Tristan Jones, Leandro Fernandez, Riccardo Burchielli, and Mark Sexton.

The Mad Max universe isn’t fair. It sort of makes other franchises look like shit.

So yea... this is fucking awesome.

Male Gaze, composition choices, and Mad Max’s ‘locker room’ eye

So there was this one reblog on that post where I discussed Center framing, Composition, and Male Gaze with this comment:

The comment continues in typical mansplaining manner but I want to address this first bit specifically. Because the assumption that the women are framed that way because it’s an action shot is wrong from a technical standpoint.

There is a difference between Wanda gesturing with her hands almost having no space for her head in a composition that highlighted her breasts …

…and the way Tony is given ‘headroom’ while gesturing with his hands (see: any Iron Man Trailer). He still has his face prominent at the sweet spot of the Golden Ratio (for more discussion on what/where this is scroll down to the diagrams), his hands are on the other sweet spot, and it’s a very dynamic pose with great use of diagonals both foreground and background.

There is also a difference between Natasha almost having to bend her head so that her face stays on the screen while her chest and hips land in the sweet spots…

And the headspace that is given Thor. Thor’s face lands on upper Third (Rule of Thirds). They are both holding/threatening with weapons. 

But wait! you say, what if we want to emphasize the weapons?

Yeah there’s a way to do that too, without sexualizing your character and smashing their head almost off the frame…
