      I mean we are talking about the guy who's so petty he included characters named Ebert and Siskel in his 1998 Godzilla just to get back at the real life critics for giving bad reviews to his films (the funniest thing about that whole ordeal was Ebert's reaction "if you're going to put me in your movie at least have Godzilla stomp on me!")
      Although, it is interesting hearing how much Emmerich was against visual effects at the start of his career, considering how fully he embraced them later on (then again, he also did a 180 on 3D, first calling it a gimmick and then referring to it as the way of the future).

    This probably won't get too much traction, but a movie that I would say you guys could pick apart for a few scenes is the Thief of Baghdad (1940). I don't know how influential it was vfx-wise, but from a quick wiki search it seems to be the first use of a proper chroma key. Though I don't know which sections specifically, it would probably be the genie, flying carpet, the spider fight, and the flying horse.
    Edit: Didn't think this many people would remember this film, so thanks for making this more seen. Hopefully the Crew gets to react to it in the future and maybe look into the use of miniatures, puppets and all the cool little things they put into the film.

They ask for impressive one-take action scenes -- it's basically the longest in existence. They ask for good sword fights -- the whole movie is basically one giant sword fight. They ask for good foreign films -- it's a Japanese film that more people should be aware of. I've seen other people mention it as well here and there. Whoever reads their comment section for suggestions (I know it was Christian at least at one point) seems to really not want to acknowledge it, lol. I feel your pain for Legends of the Guardians as well. I've seen that recommended so many times but they've never acknowledged that one either. I get that they only have time for so much at a time, but at least a shout-out to be like "Hey, we see you, and we're getting there" would be appreciated, lol.

    The one thing you forgot to mention with What Dreams May Come is that they used early LIDAR technology to track the movement, which up to that point was mainly used by the US Army. The most recent use of LIDAR was in the Black Mirror episode with the sentient robot dog called Metalhead, which uses actual footage from a LIDAR camera as the POV from the dog.

The invisible man runs up some stairs and down a hallway, with only his head half transparent, with a moving camera. I can only imagine they must have shot it twice without him in the shot and masked out his head frame by frame? No idea.

      I wonder if it is similar to Star Wars, in the original the plates for the ships were semi see through. you can still see it in the original print, same with empire strikes back with the snow speeders. I can see that if they used the same tech from their era, how an effect that semi worked for solid objects would be perfect for a semi invisible person. Idk, that shot just reminded me of the masking plates from star wars.

Maybe underdeveloping the invisible man film and overlaying that on top of a fully developed copy. or a slightly underdeveloped copy so the overlay adds up to what would be proper exposure for the background and a semi invisible man. now I really hope a vid does happen.

      Heard that name and IMMEDIATELY thought of the Okun character from ID4. Very cool!

    Hey uh I know this may sound like an odd request and im not really sure if its at all possible, but I feel like you guys would really enjoy "The Bourne Stuntacular". Its this show at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida and it is insane, amazing stunts, amazing use of tech and practicals. I just think itd be interesting to see yall break it down.

    I guess they didn’t figure out that Dreams was released after the cut off date in 1998, giving them the 1999 Oscar. The matrix has the same issue and won the 2000 Best Visual Effects award.

      You might be confused on when released movies are awarded their Oscars. Movies released in 1998 would have been awarded their Oscars in Feb/Mar 1999, and movies released in 1999 will get theirs in 2000. What Dreams May Come was a 1998 release. It might have been a limited release just at the end of the year to qualify for the Oscars, but it competed against Armageddon for Best Visual Effects, which it beat, for 1998 released movies.

      Either way they are correct. The Matrix did win the Academy Award for 1999. The award ceremony in 1999 was for the movies released in 1998 which why there seems to be confusion about Dreams beating it...which it did not. They weren't even up against each other.

      @Shannon The only category still having a different cutoff from Jan 1st to Dec 31st is "Short film" in all its various forms (documentary, animated, live action) which has Oct 1st to Sept 30th of the year before an award ceremony (so to qualify for a 1999 Oscar your run has to lie somewhere between Oct 1st 1997 and Sept 30th 1998. allother categories including visual effects go with the calendar year of publication, with some rules about how many showings in L.A. County you need to have had to qualify on top)
      That said next year will be a slight deviation as due to the delayed Awards ceremony they seem to have changed the qualification period to March 1st 2021 to Dec 31st 2021 in the 94th Academy Awards Rules, the Short Film period stays Oct 2020 to Sept 2021. Also the rules for foreign movies have been slightly relaxed to adapt to many countries having had even more stringent cinema closure laws than the US. www.oscars.org/oscars/rules-eligibility
