When I first saw those high-collared space suits, I thought "Well, if you're gonna be on a planet of vampires, THAT'S the kind of neck protection you'd want!"
I am a professional caricaturist and largely work from photos. The “enhance” phenomena Matt describes has, in my opinion, completely addled the general public’s collective understanding of how imagery works. I cannot tell you how many pictures I have been sent where the subject was obscured, too far away from camera or at too low a resolution to be visible; but it seems people believe that a piece of software something like the interface seen in Minority Report or the Iron Man movies actually exists, and items can be plucked out from the tiniest few kilobytes of jpeg, rotated in mid air and examined in minute detail. Yes: a pet peeve, a bugbear, a constant struggle.
Kind of an interesting point to consider is that "enhancing" images is starting to be a thing due to the advancements in neural network image processing. Those algorithms can't recreate the exact features of the original image, but since they learn how a tree looks or how a human face is constructed, they can generate fake data that fills out a low quality image and makes it look sharper and higher fidelity.
My dad was a graphics artist and I think he always described it as "you can't add detail that's not there", of course AI is kind of getting better at this
My pet peeve in film is when you watch a scene, let's say a bank heist, and then later in the movie, some characters are watching the "security camera footage" and it's just the same shots we (as an audience) all saw before, but grainier or in black and white and on a smaller screen. So dumb. I would even mildly appreciate it if the film makers used unused footage, but they don't! Thanks for the show fellas.
Exactly. Capes and ruffled shirts would not be practical in space, no matter how cool they are. Everybody knows that. High leather collars are the way to go. Also, I have been saying "enhance image" and hitting random keystrokes for a while now and nothing ever happens. Do I need to upgrade from Windows XP?
This is one of my absolute favorite films. Caught it on a midnight movie showing as a kid over one summer and it absolutely captures my imagination. I too wear Spanish boots and Brooks Brother suits…
pink panther episode he finds a long coffin in a castle buries it it pops out of the ground and the little white dude jumps out in a tux and says "bluh bluh bluh!" hilarious
Note: among movies that duplicated Bava's 'Planet of the Vampires' e.g. 1979's 'Alien' and the subsequent 'Prometheus' - I'm always spotting others that stole elements from 'POTV'. Example: the very last scene in 1980's 'Saturn 3' where the ship is headed towards Earth - the director duplicated the last 'POTV' scene and the music is also verbatim, less 'S3' adding some horns to the ominous sounding music. Only takes a moment to TH-cam it to look and listen. It is exact.
15:58 Captain Dallas, Executive Officer Kane, Warrant Officer Ripley, Navigator Lambert, Science Officer Ash, and two engineers, Parker and Brett. That's seven. WAIT! Jonesy the cat is credited by Craig as the 8th member of the crew. What? Is it Caturday already?
My movie pet peeve is when the good guys are captured, and the villain offers them food. The hero then contemptuously throws the tray across the room. He won't take hospitality from a villain! Eat, you idiot! You're gonna need all your strength when you need to escape! Counter-example and one of the reasons it's a great movie: Marion in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Hell yeah! Not only did I got to sleep in today, but when I woke up, there's a new episode. Best day ever. You guys are hilarious and I love that Totoro shirt, Craig!
I thought the Ewoks were interesting and essential from the point of the view of the story; they were "noble savages", totally lacking in guile and "the dark side", and as such, escaped the Emperor's clairvoyance. The visions of victory the Emperor had were the version of events where the Ewoks played no role.
OMG ... your selection this year is pure gold ... first "The Green Slime" and now "Terrore nello spazio"? ... i can't wait for the next one ! ... thumbs up!
I believe Scott never saw this film as it just doesn't fit what he likes as movies. O'Bannon and Shusett, yes, those two absolutely loved that genre, and I'm sure some influence was there.
The way Matt said "companion booking" made me laugh. I'm not American but that stereotypically old-timey American inflection tickles me. Also reminded me of David Lynch.
My Dad had a copy of the SWHS that he recorded when it aired, still had the local Baltimore ads and everything! Unfortunately when he digitized it to archive it, he edited out the commercials, and the original VHS has been lost to time.
How wild, another favorite movie watcher of mine, Retro Nerd Girl, just got done going over this. (She knows about you guys and is a fan of Chad Vader.) You're right, it's atmosphere at the expense of character or plot -- but still fun. And thank you for liking Ewoks!
Ack! A correction -- RNG definitely needs to get to this one, as she loves both horror and sci-fi, but I mixed up my watchers. It was "Jerome Weiselberry" who went over this just five days ago. She is one very sweet and interesting gal, I love her owl (or occasional Godzilla) motif.
I was a kid when Phantom Menace came out and I love it to this day. The cast is great, I think they all created very distinct characters. Like, I still cannot comprehend Qui Gon is Liam Neeson. And I really enjoyed the podracing, the Gungan City, and the most badass lightsaber fight ever made. And that soundtrack, amazing. How could John Williams raise the bar and create another standalone trilogy of iconic soundtracks, i do not know. I don’t know why people don’t like the prequels, really. I think it may be a kid thing, like you guys and the Ewoks. People who have waited for “the new Star Wars” a long time and got something completely new were disappointed because they created a vision of what it would be in their heads and were incorrect. Just look at the sequels. Kids love it, adults keep complaining about it (I loved the visuals, but the story is all over the place)
My pet peeve is the scene in every action movie where someone (usually the bad guy) flicks a Zippo lighter aflame and instead of lighting a cigarette or a piece of paper or anything else and tossing it into the pool of gas or pile of flammable material, they toss the Zippo itself, thus destroying a perfectly good lighter. I call it “Zippocide”. It really bugs the @$#&* out of me. What if you need a lighter later on? You’re screwed!
While the Star Wars Holiday Special has been buried by Lucas, never to see an official release, the Boba Fett cartoon did get released with the 2011 Complete Saga Blu-ray set. Hidden amongst the special features! The special should be....enjoyed.... with a group of friends, never suffer alone.
Actually, we mock the 'enhance' thing, but there are now machine learning algorithms that can attempt to reproduce higher resolution images based on a lower resolution image, working on an input of what type of object the observer is expecting, e.g. 'a face'.
I think in many cases by the looks of it, the way they pulled off the planet surface shots looks pretty good! I think if they toned down some of the campier, more "brightly lit" elements of the set / wardrobe this would look pretty ahead of it's time. Some of the underlit more "harshly shadowed" shots looked fairly contemporary. Is this like a prototype LIFEFORCE!?? :D
oh man, I'm gonna miss Craigs humor so much! I'm regularly quoting both Craig & Matt in my head, "I'm being followed by a boob shadow. Boob shadow, boob shadow." 😆❤️
I'm surprised there wasn't more discussion of the twist ending. If I had to give a "movie pet peeve", I think "The aliens were humans all along (e.g. that farmhouse Twilight Zone episode)" and "The humans were aliens all along (e.g. this, that Adam and Eve Twilight Zone episode" might be my choice.
I’d love to hear your takes on the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars specials. They’ve had a big influence on me and my art style. They’re comparable to Rogue One, in that it’s like watching someone playing with their Star Wars toys, and having fun with them.
Have you seen the phenomenon on screen that is Jason Statham and, if so, can you explain his apparent popularity? Also, if you have seen them, what do you think about the films made by Soviet Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986) , his two ventures into sci-fi in particular, Solaris (1972) and Stalker (1979).
Please, please, please, do a special WTTB where you guys watch and react to the Holiday Special. I know you've both seen it, but I feel like it would be a fantastic year-end treat for us.
The wistful disappointment in their voices talking about episode 1 and about how long they waited is how I felt watching the Rise of Skywalker, so perhaps waiting years only to be disappointed is a rite for every Star Wars fan
Oh man when you say enhance the image I immediately think of NCIS and how they enhance the image by just mashing 20 keys on the keyboard, which is just generally how you use computers in NCIS land. This is how they get every license plate number My family used to watch it constantly and I was always thinking what the hell kind of technology is this????
Have you seen Trog? Last film for screen legend Joan Crawford. I was four when my parents went to the drive in and scarred me for life when I see meat hooks.
Haha that's funny-- The Ewok argument is the exact same thing I say about them. I always remind my friends who gripe about the Ewoks being 'too cute' or 'fluff filler' -- "You know they are going to murderize everyone when they're first introduced, right?" I never understood the anti-Ewok rhetoric. Somehow people see cute and forget they are like a carnivorous warrior race, like it somehow negates that. And I don't mind the Yub Nub song too much because its still John Williams and it fits the score transition quite well. And yeah I also cant stand the prequels, (edit: Red Letter Media has a good breakdown on why they're so bad) I think they are far worse than the sequels (even though they weren't great either) and anyone saying Rose was the next Jar Jar needs to get their head examined, lol.
Regarding the pre trilogy, I've always maintained that Anakin, Obi wan, and all those characters shouldn't have been introduced until episode 3, allowing the prequels to be about actual backstory.
This movie, although it is kick-ass and I loved it, violated a law of movie making: When you have a super hot-chick in a tight black leather space suit you DO NOT have her killed! You try to keep her in every scene possible. That's just me.
Movie (and TV as well) pet peeve: bad gun handling. Don’t put your finger on the trigger until you shoot it and hold it with both hands (you’ll shoot better)!
@@vinnydaq13 That's true, I did notice that he handles guns properly. Either he already had experience with firearms or the props master/whoever handled the guns made sure he got it right.
So.... it's not a planet of vampires, it's a nothing planet where you land on it and become vampire. After the first victim earthlings would make sure to kill them in 20 minutes.
Pushes glasses up bridge of nose with index finer. "Mmmm ACTUALLY you CAN enhance digital pictures right now, forget sci-fi future times. Look at the way underwater cameras can now 'remove' the water from pictures. We took an out of focus Hubble and enhanced that biatchass. ENHANCE!
Re: Enhance the Image You are correct that zooming in makes things bigger, not clearer. Zooming in on something will not help. However, that will soon not be the case. As cameras and televisions improve, we’ve reached the level that input/output can exceed the capacity of the human eye. Cameras can now see better than our eyes can. This leads people to ask, “what the point is of all the extra details if we can’t see them?” This is it; Enhance the image. If the camera sees equal to our eyes the image will become bigger but not clearer. But if the camera sees better than our eyes, enhancing the image will bring up smaller sections that now (downgraded in quality by the zoom) are equal to human eye equivalent. Since the “better” quality details can’t be seen by us there is no perceived drop in image quality. To a digital eye, that section would suffer the same effect we have of calling the zoomed section “blurry” as it is only in 8k rather than 80k, for example. Since we couldn’t see the drop in quality, it’s imperceptible to us, it looks like a good sci-fi zoom with apparent blurry-ness. (Technically it is blurry relative to itself but we don’t know.) This is why we continue pushing cameras and TVs past what our eyes can naturally see, for the “Enhance the Image” sci-fi future we see in movies. We can’t “Enhance the Image” now, but in the future we will. Hopefully that made sense.
When I first saw those high-collared space suits, I thought "Well, if you're gonna be on a planet of vampires, THAT'S the kind of neck protection you'd want!"

You should just take the opportunity to experiment or make up your own funny little characters when someone hands you stuff like that

Reminds me of Kick-Ass.
This video has the third time I’ve heard “Oh hi Mark” today.
this is how u spot algorithms dude.
Craig's pained "We waited so long" about the Phantom Menace is , I believe, akin to the profound disappointment that met Godfather 3.
Image enhancement only works with random keystrokes.
They didn't need capes or ruffled shirts because they already had ridiculous high collars.
Exactly. Capes and ruffled shirts would not be practical in space, no matter how cool they are. Everybody knows that. High leather collars are the way to go.

Marion is the best character. I would've loved a mini series about her exploits
Really enjoyed this film. Very excited when I saw it was going to be watched. The costumes were pretty rad.

@@LordSathar Why wouldn't they? Lots of omega-3 fatty acids, not to mention protein.
no one tell this guy about the charged racial history of the ‘noble savage’ trope 😬
Personal movie pet peeve: guns that click and rattle just by being carried around.
Or click way too many times when they're out of ammo
Or racking or cocking the gun over and over

Re: Enhance the Image
You are correct that zooming in makes things bigger, not clearer. Zooming in on something will not help. However, that will soon not be the case.
As cameras and televisions improve, we’ve reached the level that input/output can exceed the capacity of the human eye. Cameras can now see better than our eyes can. This leads people to ask, “what the point is of all the extra details if we can’t see them?” This is it; Enhance the image. If the camera sees equal to our eyes the image will become bigger but not clearer. But if the camera sees better than our eyes, enhancing the image will bring up smaller sections that now (downgraded in quality by the zoom) are equal to human eye equivalent. Since the “better” quality details can’t be seen by us there is no perceived drop in image quality. To a digital eye, that section would suffer the same effect we have of calling the zoomed section “blurry” as it is only in 8k rather than 80k, for example. Since we couldn’t see the drop in quality, it’s imperceptible to us, it looks like a good sci-fi zoom with apparent blurry-ness. (Technically it is blurry relative to itself but we don’t know.) This is why we continue pushing cameras and TVs past what our eyes can naturally see, for the “Enhance the Image” sci-fi future we see in movies. We can’t “Enhance the Image” now, but in the future we will. Hopefully that made sense.
What you're talking about is scaling, not "enhancement".
