Next episode: VFX Artists hunt for the lost magical crystal.
The story of the prism is THE most fascinating vfx story I’ve heard. How is this not spoken about all the time?
Because it's probably locked in the Disney vault. Next episode, VFX Artists use VFX to break into the Disney Vault and retrieve the Supercalifragilisticexpiali-Crystal.
I think theres some crazy ownership or patent shit, its the only one of its kind so I think its kinda kept secret or it was destroyed
exactly. We have this amazing tech but we don't. why? I need to know.
Because it's not true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_vapor_process
I imagine it's a cinema urban legend type thing
@@magicmisteur Although I don't see anything that clearly confirms this story in tje article, I don't see any clear contradiction either, as it states that Disney only made one of these cameras.
You guys have to do Pirates of the Caribbean where Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush are fighting in and out of the moonlight.
Twin Peaks scene was obviously meant to be abstract, anti-realistic. Lynch started as a painter.
Hey guys, I was the Digital Terrain Lead on Stealth. This video is making the rounds with the VFX crew and we all really appreciate the kind words.
Awesome!
Thanks to you and everyone that worked on Stealth! Awesome stuff!
Thank you dude !. Air to air combat movies are a sorely under developed genre.
Especial thanks goes to who ever did the Su -37 scene. My gods that plane is beautiful.
theonlycatonice The Jetpack thing and the metal eating virus thing. That was at a fun stint over at Pixel Magic, great little shop, worked on the Aflec Daredevil film there.
To the threshold. You want to thank our head of Previz Brian Pohl and head of Animation Eric Gamache. Two of the finest vehicle animators and visual story tellers I have had the privilege to work with.
The crystal part is literally one of the most intriguing things i have heard in a long time
Agreed! I would love to know more about that!
Scrolled way to far for this comment.
That's one of those stories of a lost technology, but it happened in living memory, and there was proof that it was real.
I found it very interesting too. Did you see the episode where they review "The Abyss" in it. There's a pretty interesting innovation that movie created too. Sorry I don't remember which episode it was.
@@SplittingProductions What innovation exactly? The CGI water?
@@jp3813 yeah. But they talk about how the guy who worked on that took a bunch of photos of the room and built a software to stitch them together which allowed them to create accurate reflections of the water, and that software he invented is now Photoshop today.
I honestly really like the hyper stylized stuff in Twin Peaks. They show that they can do something real cool with the hand, then pay homage to the original jank. I kinda dig it. Feel free to roast my opinion lmao
no this is spot on these effects are so tonally illustrative & appropriate. the corridor guys are just industry nerds at the end of the day so it's not gonna compute for them
@@crankysconga In the context of the new series with the whole past comin' to haunt you vibes, it's thematically appropriate and adds to the jarring nature of the scene
No Twin Peaks the Return was perfect you don’t have to be a hipster to think that
"I'm so confused!" --- that's exactly what Lynch wants you to say. Welcome to Twin Peaks.
I mean that's kinda the thing about that shot (and probably many other shots). What emotional response does it produce, weird. What emotional response was it intended to produce, weird. Doesn't that kinda make it a good vfx shot?
@@michaelrumsey7932 it's bad because it's supposed to be bad...
@@jonsimpson6240 the quality of the vfx serves a purpose though. The team on Twin Peaks had the budget and talent to make good VFX, they did it a few times in the series. This was an intentional artistic choice by Lynch
"If you're intentionally trying to do something that doesn't look good, you need to make sure it's really intentional so it doesn't look like a mistake" is a phrase I wish I knew before I started teaching my students.
My life motto when taking selfies. If it's intentionally bad, it can't be UN-intentionally bad.
"It's not bad, it's just my style!"
It's what they drilled into us in theatre design: "Arbitrary reads as arbitrary."
How did I read this comment at the exact time that it was said in the video? The Matrix is real lol
"I have no idea what is going on!"
Welcome to Twin Peaks.
"Hey David, here's a quick 2D look of the future visual effect, what do you..."
"LEAVE IT LIKE THAT IT IS PERFECT"
Where is that in Twin Peaks? I've watched the series and the movie and don't remember this!
@@vdochev Third season aired in 2017, sometimes titled Twin Peaks: The Return. Also there's a solid 1.5hrs of deleted/alternate scenes from the movie titled The Missing Pieces if you haven't seen that
@@vdochev i think that's in episode 2 of season 3
@@denizdemir9255 But there are only 2 seasons.
I watched The Langoliers when I was a kid and I’ve always tried to find it but could never remember what it was called and it’s been stuck in my head for maybe 15 years, so Corridor Crew from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
Same lol, although 10 years ago I have tried to Google the movie by searching for "Flying flesh with teeth movie"
@@alenashimano178 😂😂😂🤣
The thing with Twin Peaks, is that the "crappiness" of the effect adds to the out of reality feeling its supposed to have.
There is a cool bit at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: Worlds End where the Lord/Captain is walking down the stairs and everything is exploding around him. Not sure if you have done it before.
I wouldn't mind whole episode devoted to PotC ^_^
Yess POC also the skeletons from the first movie please!!
what about the ship flipping scene in the earlier one?
Yes, please do that shot. I also agree with a full episode about Pirates. Amazing effects in all of them.
They already reacted to that a looong time ago
When I was a kid I KNEW the Mary Poppins movie was made with magic. I KNEW.
4 years later.....
They found it!
The Mary Poppins one-of-a-kind crystal just made my jaw drop to the floor. I'm with Sam, how can it be possible that they cannot recreate this thing????
Or somehow adapt the idea in a similar way. That just seems crazy.
They probably didn't have the precision tooling + budget at the time, then green/blue screen technology came around, and no one has tried since
they exist and probably could be made relatively easily today in fact www.edmundoptics.com/p/589nm-cwl-125mm-dia-hard-coated-od-4-10nm-bandpass-filter/19756/ would do it. back in the 1950s...less so, the technology existed but was newish and is non trivial to get the required precision . requires getting layers of stuff accurate to a thickness much less than a quarter the wavelength of the light involved, so nanometer accurate to get something useable, and it requires multiple of these kinds of filters. the guy probably sold the one he made and they were like wth...how did you do that? XD total master watchmaker level skills required + probably loads of rejects with 1950s level tech, and maybe he wasn't in the mood to make a second after all that faff :P
@@AngDavies Yeah, felt like it, too. Back in University we used spetrometers to analyze light on a daily basis. And at least one was 30+ years old (probably from the 70s). Just seems to me like you would need to ask a manufacturer of scientific equipment to build you a proper prism. It shouldn't be that hard.
Then again, not really necessary with modern CGI.
@@AngDavies Also the lights made the studio very hot and because of the yellow background, they had to keep reapplying makeup to keep their skin tones more red than yellow. Overall it was very costly, uncomfortable, and time-consuming on top of the technical skill needed to operate it. It was a niche product that only huge studios could afford to use. So there was never a need to build more than one. Why commission someone to build a new one when you could just rent it from Disney?
Love, death and Robots is a whole series on netflix made out of different short stories, each one with a different animation style made by a different studio. Especially the beyond the Aquila rift episode has one of the realest looking human and face animation I have ever seen
Drake Barnes they said that months ago so it’s starting to hurt waiting but I can wait a lot longer if it’s gonna do love, death and robots justice
Fun fact: Netflix didn’t want to highlight any specific artist more than others so the episodes actually show in a different order for every Netflix user. Your episode 7 may not be Corridor Crews episode 7.
My episode 7 is sucker of souls
This looks like a studio tech showcase, which is pretty interesting.
@@texantactical7787 I don't believe thats true, me and a friend simulcast on netflix at different houses from different netflix accounts and we both watched the same chronological order..
Edit: Looked it up on youtube aswell by just typing "Love Death Robots Ep #" and checked 4 random results, same results as what I had for whichever number I put in. Might be a regional thing? But definitely everyone in the US has the same episode listing order.
"Daddy no!" - last words before eaten by a flying meatball
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Screen writer for the langoliers: hmm not kinky enough...
Damn those dudes that created the 50's cartoon/actor tech was absolute genius.
Seems like “We make the Langoliers actually
scary” would be a good challenge along the lines of your work with Scorpion King.
YES
Unfortunately the rest of the movie wouldn't benefit from their wizardry. The film isn't all that stellar to begin with.
@@HashMaster9000 "Scaring the little GIRL?" is a classic line, right up there with "I am you father".
(please don't actually believe that)
Yes!!!!!!
I hate those videos, since these guys go literally overboard. Their "lets make X R ratted" is just moronic excessive gore effects
The reasons we don't see "yellowscreen" often have more to do with logistics- the necessary sodium vapor lights were extremely powerful and hot, leading to a lot of issues with heat exposure for the actors, makeup and hair challenges, and safety risks given the bulbs can combust if broken. Still, they were used in a number of films including The Birds and even the 90s film Dick Tracy.
When you realize how important audio is. Lol
"I'm so confused" is the most accurate reaction to anything made by David Lynch
Hey hey, it's me! Obscure Disney and Iwerks historian, the man who developed the prism effect was in fact Walt Disney's oldest friend, 'Ub' Iwerks. The prism isn't very rare, in fact, it can be manufactured easily. The problem is that the shaded sodium light coding is insanely difficult to replicate. So rather than a dichroic coating in the prism he opted for an aluminized coating to reflect the entire spectrum of the rainbow. He had two prisms manufactured as a backup, and they're as good as the original.
So what you're saying is: Mary Poppins really was magical.
How is there not more on this magic crystal?!
I kinda wish they could've also reacted to maybe the Atomic Bomb sequence from Twin Peaks, that would've been a little more straightforward and easier to appreciate I think. It's kinda difficult to do anything with that sequence they showed if there's no context
For the record, in the story “The Langoliers”, they don’t travel to an alternate dimension; they travel to *after*. Like, literally, they travel to “after” present time has passed. Sounds are muted, tastes are used up, and the Langoliers dispose of reality after it’s used. Later they travel into “before”, and let the present catch up with them.
Have you read the story? Is it worth picking up a copy?
@@Vastad, worth a read. That TV show is actually very close to the text of the book, so it's one of the most accurate adaptations.
@@ZethKeeper Thanks! Appreciate the recommendation!
I was about to say the same thing. I never read the book but I watched the movie, even back then the effects looked like crap.
Really cool concept. Shitty CGI
Indiana Jones: The Hunt For That One Crystal They Used On The Mary Poppins Movie
When I’ve got Star Wars on a super brightness you can see these big ghost blocks around any of the ships in space. Any idea what causes that?
did i actually hear the word "cockpit" get censored
So I'm not the only one who thought this?😂
You did.
UA-cam algoritm unable to tell the difference between a specific word and a different word that contains the same sequence of letters.
It actually triggered me.
I don’t think so. The video has multiple random audio cuts, one of which occurred right before
^^^
Would love to see a reaction to the effects in the first pirates of the Caribbean film with the characters switching between human and skeleton in the moonlight. cool effect for the early 2000s!
When I was a Physicist, I worked in optical nanostructures - totally possible to recreate that crystal in terms of the maths, growing it/cutting it/having the right material in the first place, would be the difficult things, if we have no clue as to the original. I'm sure one could actually improve and shrink this principle of separating the light spectra from the full optical regime, using DBRs and modern materials.
awesome!
"We have the technology we can rebuild him" I feel like if anyone would try and find people to rebuild this prism, it's Corridor.
Could you explain like I'm 5?
Any true prism and a dicroic filter to the wavelength of the sodium lamps and it's recreated.
This lost tech really should be unearthed. It would completely do away with crap green screen effects and would probably greatly reduce the crew's work load.
Lmao Niko showcasing a TV by not looking at it is hilarious
You guys should talk about the cgi in Nolan’s Batman movies, specifically the bat swarms in Batman Begins
The part about the technology used to film Mary Poppins blew me away. How can there be literally only be one of these prisms and nobody can figure out how to replicate it?
Isn't that bedknobs and broomsticks?
It may be less about "Not being possible" but more "Not being financially responsible". Like normally you do your really expensive R&D and make a super expensive prototype but then you can follow the same procedure and get copys much cheaper. But if it's like graphics card chips, where they can get a prototype but the production has a failure rate, then make that failure rate REALLY high (At least for the time) it simply becomes not worth it.

@@Watson_Holmes But it can stil be done, right?
@@claudiazg9932 yes
Leonidas throwing his spear at xerses in 300 was always impressive to me.
It'd be cool if Wren did like a whole educational episode on the prism
I love how heated Wren got over the twin peaks bit lmao
“Hey, look at this weird thing.”
David Lynch in a nutshell.
Wouldn't you love to see them watch Eraserhead? Please watch it in the dark.
Most of the 'Hey, look at this weird thing' moments in david lynch stuff are definitely intentionally made to make you feel that way, but they also usually have a pretty deliberate symbolic/narrative meaning when thought about in the context of the movie/series. Watch the 4 hour break down of twin peaks and you'll get it.
Kinda sad they didnt look at the episode 8 atomic bomb drop scene
"I... uhhh.... hmm.... yep, it's weird."
"Nailed it."
@@CadoonTube The Twin Perfect guy ?!? Love Twin Peaks to death, absolutely hate that guy though
They made Mary Poppins with an Infinity Stone.
12:51 That's actually incredible. To this day I had no idea how they made that effect. Marry Poppins has been one of my favorite movies for a LONG time.
The beginning of an amazing story. To think a working model of that camera is real now
“VFX Artists react to the best horror movie creatures”
8:55 "I have no idea what is going on"
David Lynch: I've done my job perfectly
The intense passion that Nico has for explosions will never cease to amuse me
It’s always heartwarming how much Wren doesn’t want to rag on people
“I’m confused,” the mantra of the Twin Peaks viewer.
My dad watched one episode of Twin Peaks and I'd never seen him so angry
Do Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. Such a beautiful looking film and amazingly animated.
So true...
Underrated movie, I live just down the road from the owls they studied for it 😅
Although I think the Barn owl is dead now. 😕
I'm not sure why Australians had to come to Cornwall, UK for that 🤔
Hey Corridor Crew!! I've always been curious about the scene from Jumper (2008) where the main character is "jumping" from his bedroom to his fridge, couch and all over his apartment while being tracked in one take.
And while I'm at it, the new Hellboy has some shocking graphics in it. Be great to see your guys take on it.
- Huge fan!!
Seconded!
Langoliers is 3 hours long, because it was originally produced as a 6-part mini series that would air on TV every week.
They later released it as a full lenght movie.
Watches Twin Peaks: _"I'm so Confused"_
David Lynch: _"That's the Idea"_
I really like the absolute obsurdity and chaos of the visual effects in general beacuse it adds that WTF IS GOING ON vibe to it
Corridor crew just kinda showed their ignorance with that scene.
@@milesbbop9563 Well, Sam did, Niko I think knew what was going on, and I think Wren seemed really interested. Though, now they should do S3E8. I want them to see the Nuclear Explosion.
and I thought "Twin Peaks" was about "who killed Laura Palmer.....". sequel or not, remake or not....
Bruh I want your reaction and breakdown of the pirates of the carribean and the curse of the black pearl fight scene when barbossa and sparrow were fighting around and constantly morphing into skull and normal fleshed body. Pleassseeeeeeeee
twin peaks has everything intentional. it is supposed to look like extremely wierd and fake and abstract. otherwise they have some great CGI in the season as well. so if its bad, it is intentionally bad
I thought the idea behind the Langoliers was that they flew the plane through a rip in time, not space. They landed in the past and the Langoliers were the "clean up crew", tasked with consuming the remains of the past to make way for the present and future.
Do a transformation episode: visual effects for American Werewolf in London, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Lupin's transformation), Amazing Spider-Man (lizard transformation for the doctor and for the cops), etc.
Annnnd now I must know EVERYTHING about this camera and its heart of light one of a kind crystal
twin peaks 2018 had awesome effects. it looks exactly how Lynch wants it to. later episodes have some insane stuff that they should have looked at: the Nuclear explosion / dimensional tear (!) the spinning vortexes in the sky, the room suspended in outer space, the lighting strike obliteration of a character etc. tons of awesome effects
I just realised that Rick and Morty totally had langoliers in it! Key and Peele played them!
The interesting thing about Twin Peaks is that Lynch actually told the artists to make the space scenes look *less* realistic, because he didn't want it to feel like science fiction.
and instead it looks like shit. Lynch is a genius but thats just straight up bad bad bad end it detracts from the scene.
those space scenes worked for me. It's like a weird fine line between good bad and bad bad :)
@@brandon4000 Dont mistake this as me calling you out because for all I can tell you're totally genuine and you actually thought the effects worked, but I really have to say I don't think anyone would really try defending that scene if David Lynch's name wasn't attached to it.
116
The scene is challenging because they show you an extremely realistic effect (the hand) followed by an extremely unrealistic effect. Which proves that it's not a failure of vision, because clearly they have the capability to create a real looking shot.
I think Niko nailed it, it's not supposed to look real, it's David Lynch intentionally creating a collage like effect. And if you still think the show has bad VFX, just watch episode 8.
Cool fact about Stealth. They had a life sized prop for one of the planes on an aircraft carrier for filming. Chinese intelligence spotted this and freaked out about this new American stealth plane, thinking it real.
I started watching this during lockdown when working on my college assignments, now here I am watching these and now working on my final uni assignments, and I'm so glad there's so many more now, these are great
"That mf-er is sprinkling salt... he's sprinkling salt!" is such a timeless classic
"Sound engineers react to bad audio recordings...." lol
Well, it not that hard to remake the camera crystal honestly. It is only that it would be cost prohibitive for a single unit. It would be maybe 50kUSD for a prototype 1080p camera. A lot more right now for a 4k camera, maybe 200k.
You need a dichroic film filter on the crystal. This would typical cost 25k for a single run.
I can work with you guys to get a prototype.
Ok, two things, first of all, that's some WILD CG for 2005 on Stealth, massive ups to the VFX crew. Second of all, THAT SECTION OF THE VIDEO WHERE Y'ALL TALK ABOUT MERRY POPPINS FROM 10:06 TO 13:45 MADE MY WHOLE DAY! I've loved Mary Poppins since I was very, VERY small (wore out two vhs copies, in fact!) and learning that they pioneered that technique only to be entirely unable to reproduce it is just WILD to me, a bit of LITERAL DISNEY MAGIC here, while I thought for years that they just had a better grasp of green-screen work than the average person, or they'd done something that was locked down patent wise to only let Disney use it, just absolutely blows my mind.
I said “I’m so confused” when Wren did lmao
you should react to the Halo 2 Anniversary cutscenes. Some of the best cg cutscenes I've ever seen
This👆👍
they should react to disaster movie CGi like 2012 and deep impact and geostorm
Yes
The original Halo cutscene are still better. New ones look like some netflix adaption that completely loses the original vision Bungie had just sayin 343 cant do anything right.
@@chuggynation8275 343 didn't do those cutscenes, though. And how do you mean they lose the vision of the original?
I am just astounded by that "prism" technology they had developed... definitely not of this world
Edit: Oh my god... thank you so much for all the likes :)) this is the first time my comment had got so many likes on youtube everrrr
a unique gem.
@@mwwwww648 Maybe the prism had just the perfect material, angle, size and atom makeup. Hence no one was able to perfectly recreate.
@@mwwwww648 There are many technologies that have been lost over human history (greek fire and damascus steel for example) but those were lost centuries ago while this is something that was made just 60 years ago.
It's just so.... weird.
@@mwwwww648 Most likely no one has tried in decades, possibly not after the filming of Mary Poppins. When they couldn't do it then it remained a non option so other things were developed instead and now we have a huge industry based on completely different technologies and so no one has had interest because no one really even knows about it. It's a "fun fact" if you know it, but no one with resources either knows about it or doesn't want to dedicate time to it because the current systems work well enough.
And that technology has its limitations just as everything else. It won't replace rotoscopy completely because you can only use it in controlled sets and I'm sure there are situations where it would fail anyway compared to green screens. I suspect that it can't handle very large scenes without completely overexposing everything and considering the size of green screens Hollywood often uses these days that would be a problem. So it solves the problem of getting an usable alpha mask (granted a very good one and basically free) in a very specific situation, but isn't much help in any other. So unless you're filming a complete movie or at least a huge chunk that uses that situation then more general tools serve almost as well.
@@francesco8000 I mean the thing that's weird about is, is all the precise measuring techniques we now have. We can mass-spectrometry, chemical image, photon-quantum-spin-radiation-charge-ion-frequency-spintographyse almost anything in existence and plot structures of proteins that are thousands of amino acids in size.
AND THAT THING IS JUST A FUCKING POLISHED ROCK IN A CAMERA. WUT?
I NEED to know more about this one of a kind cinema crystal. Seriously. This has blown my mind more than anything else you guys have put out in your amazing channel.
They used sodium vapor lighting for the composite shots on "The Birds" as well, so this wasn't a one-off thing. And, yes, you should definitely review the effects on that film.
You guys should react to robocop, especially the scene where his lungs are exposed
jona or the slo mo shootout scene from Dredd
And the team fortress 2 videos
maybe alex garland can write the next robocop and neill blomkamp can direct it
The whole "magic crystal thing" got me into a deep search on the topic because there MUST be some trail for it. I checked several patent databases and didn't find any patents being requested before 1961 which detailed an early blue/green screen system, and not the sodium vapor one I really hoped I would find. It is possible I didn't look hard enough, but the patent may not be electronically recorded, or was never filed due to it being a form of trade secret. I hope someone has better luck with this than I did.
Hey guys - Vfx artist here who did the helmet tracking for Stealth!
I ( 'spose? ) I can reveal that the helmet shots were tracked by two seperate vendors - Digital Domain and the studio I worked at - Animal Logic. I remember the day my sup walked in and said he heard I could track.
I'd just come off the back off a stint in the Weta Digital camera department using world's best ( and only decent imo ) camera tracking software - 3D Equalizer, being taught by the software's creator, the champion Rolf Schneider, no less.
My response - let me at it. And thus, to my knowledge, I was the first artist in Australia, and quite possibly anywhere, to use the techniques and tools developed by Rolf for the Weta Digital team.
The first thing I did was ask my sup for reference photos of the helmets. From memory there was about thirty shots I needed to track in the sequence we were assigned, in which whatserface falls through clouds. These shots ranged from wide angles of her tumbling through frame ( which I mostly tracked by hand using a custom rig ) to close up shots in high detail, for which I fired up Equalizer.
They provided the reference shots of the prop helmet. I went to work. And in no time flat, thanks to how powerful 3DE's algorithm was ( and still is! ) I had a result. I fired it up to management.
The shows Vfx Supervisor, Chris Godfrey, asked my supervisor how the track looked, spat out in record time - 'Bloody good' was his reply. They quickly assigned me every shot in the sequence.
Thanks to Rolf Schneider and his team at Sci-D-Vis, shots like this went from being a bitch to being a no brainer. And thanks to my demo, Animal Logic went from having a single licence of 3DE on a dusty old box, to using it exclusively. ( At the time, when I contacted the local distributor in Sydney, they didn't know they were even meant to be selling it! )
From my experience on countless shots and ( almost ) countless features across the years, it just shows - plan your Vfx. Use the best tools for the job. And you'll be onto the next shot in no time ;)
I'm fairly certain David Lynch did actually do those FX himself. I remember reading some articles and seeing some video of him doing stuff in After Effects (something with a duck-headed person?) way back around 2000 I believe.
I really need to know that people are working on replicating that magical device
How about a Doctor Who special, taking a look at the visual effects used throughout the 50+ years it's been on TV?
yess
Oh boy, I'm sure the CGI on Rememberance of The Daleks will blow their minds.
6:23 all that explosion reminds me of is Niko saying “JOOKD!!!” And Brandon screaming
“2 DA STREETS”
Late to this one, but to make the Langoliers scary in the daytime, I would personally go the route of "Predator" an almost "DID I see something...?" moment, but also have the resulting damage be visible so then it becomes "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
Please please pleassseeee do some of Netflix's "Love Death and Robots"! (Especially the reallly realistic ones like Beyond the Aquila Rift and Lucky 13)!
Love Death and Robots would have to be a multi video series on its own, but I highly welcome it
Yes, agreed! Sonny's Edge would be my pick, but they're all so good!
Oh my gosh I forgot about this series, they should absolutely do it! Sonny's edge, beyond the aquila rift and the one with the stripper and the murderer were all amazing visually
The last episode is also so good
I would legit sell my soul and get the popcorn for a mini documentary episode of you guys trying to find the magical prism camera, as well as explaining the rest of its history, and eventually trying to replicate it yourselves!
The Eric Andre Show reference was so perfect! I haven't laughed that much in a while.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE LUKE SKY WALKER REVEAL IN THE MANDALOTIAN S2. E8!! Holy cow that face rendering though!!
Guy who created the prism: "I used the prism, to destroy the prism."
Wow, excellent "meme" friend! Ha ha I am something of a Memer myself
It bothers me that Humans created something they cant do twise. It is one of the basic rules of mathe or even our reality, that if achieved something once you can do it again, but it seems not. Like ancient Rome technologies.
"We're dealing with alien technology." No, we're dealing with Mary Poppins.
It'd be really cool to see you guys react to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" in season 5! They did some cool stuff to get the characters from DS9 to TOS for the OG episodes anniversary and it'd be great to see your reactions and break down!
Now in 2024, you guys have reinvented the 1950's technology. Owesome
Fun fact: many scenes from “The Langoliers” were filmed at the Bangor International airport, in Bangor, Maine. The airport has been renovated (around 2014) but since then was largely unchanged since the filming of this movie. In fact, the outside of the airport is still quite similar. The tall building visible behind the airport from the runway is a hotel. One of Stephen King’s houses is about a 10 minute drive away.
"I'm so confused" ah yes I too love Twin Peaks
You guys should react to “Venom” on the next episode!!
Van Helsing holds up pretty well, from what I remember of it.
What a minute! The time traveling police from Rick and Morty are based of the Langoliers?
Seems similar tho
Yeah they are.
5:53 lol I love how they had to sensor the word "cockpit"
I would ask the Henson's. They know where to find the dark crystal, they may know where to find the light crystal.
I actually read The Langoliers, well listened to it. I tend to do audiobooks due to my aspergers. It was good I really liked it and I think it has more potential in film... I'd have made it animated film though... a) because I want everything to be animated and b) it'd be way easier to pull off the titular monsters in an already existing abstract medium, you know what I mean?

Yup, that’s Lynch!
Quick word of advice guys: If it’s a Stephen King adaptation, don’t expect good visual effects
It was a two-part TV miniseries (it isn't a film) filmed in Maine in 1994. Most of the film is set inside the aircraft, and they probably blew most of their budget buying the two aircraft they used to make the film. They didn't rent them or build an airplane set. They bought a fully intact and working aircraft to use for takeoff/landing/runway scenes, and one that had the wings missing that they cut into sections and used for filming the interior shots.
Doctor Sleep is worth checking out...
Lemme rephrase that fellow king fans: don’t expect the best visual effects. Some adaptations have some pretty great effects.
Unless you’re watching the most recent version of IT. Haven’t seen the sequel but the first one is great.
Laughed out loud when the head poppin’ smoke effect happened right there on the couch.
What an incredible episode. The Langoliers, Mystery Miracle Mary Poppins Camera, Smash Bros, it has everything
