I was so sure that the troops running on the zigzag staircase was CGI, but those are real structures (water wells) filled with extras who were cheaper than CGI.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730000155687661753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-1693434939802024602008-11-13T13:10:00.000-05:002008-11-13T13:10:00.000-05:00Fox, I think you must be right about CGI in those ...Fox, I think you must be right about CGI in those two scenes.

But I could be wrong. <BR/><BR/>There was another scene too, where something was crawling underneath someone's skin???

That last section you pointed to pushed the movie over the top for me, and after that I was unable to really focus on the drawbacks.

I find the final sequence especially moving - but there was something juvenile about the story/script that kinda weighed on me after a while.<BR/><BR/>No doubt Tarsem has an eye and a patience for production design (Marilyn's right about there being <I>very</I> little CGI. I think it took him 8 years to film this b/c he filmed it in 18 or so locations), but something felt lacking to me. Even, sometimes, the gorgeous-ness of the imagery lacked some emotional language I was hoping for.<BR/><BR/>p.s.

It still blows me away that there is absolutely NO CGI in this film. And yes, I too think its a shame it got an "R" rating. There is no justification for it.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730000155687661753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-3805477656004693492008-11-13T08:35:00.000-05:002008-11-13T08:35:00.000-05:00Rick, have you posted about this movie yet?

The fact that Singh is making movies that look like this, and basically being ignored for his efforts, is kind of infuriating.<BR/><BR/>As for the pictures, and DVD images, and all that...I didn't know any of the things either of you told me. I'm pretty much flying blind here, and have been from the beginning, so thanks for the tips. I don't have a DVD player in my computer, but the rest of it should help.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-36395474663470991832008-11-12T22:54:00.000-05:002008-11-12T22:54:00.000-05:00Bill, I think Lopez was very good in Out of Sight ...Bill, I think Lopez was very good in <B>Out of Sight</B> before she became the "joke" she is today. I put that in quotes because I think she is unfairly maligned due to her glitzy and embarrassing pop career. But as an actress, I don't think she's half bad. <BR/><BR/>I've now seen images of this film on Scanners, Coosa Creek and here and I'm going to put this one near the top of the queue, it looks spectacular.<BR/><BR/>As for the pics, I've noticed your pics are direct links from other sites, which means they do not always get sized correctly when pulled in (blogger resizes them and doesn't care what gets cut off or not and if the site you pulled them from drops them they get lost on your site as well). I save the pics I like to my hard drive then load them up to blogger. After that you can delete them from your hard drive if you want (or not, it doesn't take up much storage space) and they will forever remain on your blog. Also, if you want to grab clips from DVDs just download the old Windows media player for free which allows you to do that if your computer DVD player won't. When I'm back home again I can give you the exact version you need to download for this.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-962184070009860252008-11-12T22:33:00.000-05:002008-11-12T22:33:00.000-05:00Hey.

And you're right: Catinca Untaru is fabulous.<BR/><BR/>Do you have a DVD player in your computer? If so, you can grab the images easily enough with Prnt Scrn, and then use an image editor to cut it down to size. (sorry if you already know this ...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
