Originally I was going to do a blog post about game graphics but I realised quickly what I had to say about them wasn't unique or a new viewpoint but I did get to look at some funny pictures anyways here is a link if anyone wants to know more about graphics fair amount of profanity you have been warned! Bad Graphics - YouTube Since videogames came into existence alot of developers have tried to make their game look as realistic as possible and because of this whole styles and looks of games were left by the wayside so someone could make sure that every hair on a random characters kneecap looks as realistic as possible in an attempt to immerse the player. but what most developers haven't realised videogames aren't about immersion half the time they are about creating a universe so that a player can do as much dumb stuff as they want with no repercussions when I play GTA 5 I'm not playing to immerse myself in the city of Los Santos I'm playing so that I can blow up a

 A while ago I watched The Burbs a 1989 Horror, Mystery film starring Tom Hanks it starts quite well with some surprisingly good music used just to set the scene. But it quickly devolves into a confusing mess the plot isn't confusing mind you but style wise it is a mess. it has 2 big problems the first one is balancing/consistency now horror comedies can be good The cabin in the woods for example is a great meta commentary on horror films in general but it is difficult as comedy and horror are just innately different genres to make it work though you have to haver a balance otherwise it stops being a horror film or a comedy film and just goes into the other genre until the script remembers its got to be both pulling the viewer out in this film you're likely to get cinematic whiplash. The second part is consistency now this is fairly similar to the balance problem there is a difference consistency means that for a majority of the film you have to have equal parts horror and co

 No I'm not out of ideas even if it looks like that I just thought it would be cool to put up but then I realised it only applies to me and it is just a list after all so analysis then its back to your irregularly scheduled content. First its not a set list my method was to put every single film onto a word document and then go through picking the ones which stood out most and repeating it so its not exactly scientific. even then similar films did seem to get grouped up some by accident obviously but Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge on the river Kwai numbers 17 and 18 are right next to each other I think because they're by Peter O'Toole who's style certainly had an affect on me. It happened more than once The Gentlemen and snatch both by Guy Ritchie are numbers 61 and 62. Bong Joon Ho, Christopher Nolan, Steven Soderbergh, David Fincher, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock and the Russo brothers are now clearly some of my favourite directors I think its differ

 I recently watched Halloween  and one of the most scary things about Michael Myers is the fact that he never speaks during the entire film this makes him scary because it means that the viewer never has even an inkling towards what is going on in his horrible mind he could have a masterplan for how to dispatch each victim he may have constant visions of murder but its left up to the viewers imagination making him much scarier. The opposite can be true of a villain each step of the way the viewer knows the villain is ahead of the hero filling them with dread or it could show his vast intelligence or it could even just be used to say we have more guns than you each one can make the villain better but of course there are examples which get it wrong... 1. Friday the 13th part 1  this isn't the worst example of this with the murderer quietly killing throughout 90% of the film until near the end where she starts to exposit to the last remaining person why she is murdering these people t

 On the surface video game movies are a good concept because you've already got a plot, characters and an environment which is in theory everything you need. But Hollywood has proven this theory wrong many times with many of them haemorrhaging money for the studio. This isn't because they're all bad I personally enjoyed Hitman: Agent 47 and Resident evil  but the biggest mistake is control. Very simply if you play a video game it could have virtually the same plot to dozens of movies but you control what the character does and since these are generally advertised towards the people who played the games the control is gone and it's just not the same. This I think is the biggest problem with them there are other problems but I'll get to them later. First I want to have a look at 2 films which tried to solve this problem 1. This film tried to solve this by still putting you in a fairly generic plot but this time it's first person by this I mean they literally mount

 Yesterday I was listening to a song called twilight zone by Golden Earrings which I had heard on a Dutch rock radio station. This sparked a thought an 8 minute song was being played in another country on a genre specific station and it was in English. This struck me because there are many many radio stations which play either genre specific or songs from the past yet the next day when i tuned in to some for a fun test I found that none of them played a song over 3-4 mins which is the average length of a song admittedly I didn't have enough time or resources to see if I just listened at an unrepresentative time but even then it did solidify my belief in something: That certain genres mainly other than pop have longer songs. on the surface this may seem obvious jazz has a free flow structure so may run longer classical and opera can go on for longer periods especially if played in totality and rock and heavy metal in some places have whole sections of songs just dedicated to instrum
