Lens flares...I thought this was a Favreau movie not a Abrams movie.

 

[dark_b]

what i liked about Favraue when talkning about this movie is the hypocrisy. he said that it was important to film this on film for the feel. yet he is using blue digital lens flares. muhahahah.

i like everything in this movie but the lens flares. they feel forced.

 

[kedrell]

Ok, so because Abrams over uses lens flares that means they are now verbotten. Right? NO ONE ELSE CAN USE THEM? Not to mention just looking at trailers for ST or Super 8 the flares are readily apparent. But not in any C&A footage that I've seen yet. They're still viable.

What a load[BLACKOUT] of horse-crap[/BLACKOUT] arguement.

And what's with the b****ing about the blue/orange posters? God, it's like people are manufacturing stuff to complain about since they have nothing legitimate.

 

[dark_b]

when you are doing an orange tinted western movie then blue lights and blue lens flares dont look good. sorry

 

[kedrell]

It's a sci-fi western, unapologetically so. I really am scratching my head at this complaint.

 

[dark_b]

a scifi western? tell this to Favraue who is in every interview making sure that we know that its supposed to look like an oldschool western movie.

 

[kedrell]

Yes, and old school western....mixed with sci-fi. Thus a sci-fi western. That they've gone out of their way to make sure the period feels correct is not a negative, IMO. It's not like the lens flares are coming from the cowboys.

That was clearly the intent of the original script too: a good old fashioned s***-kicking western that happened to have aliens in it!

Third Trailer for Cowboys & Aliens Hits

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Not going to watch that, two trailers is enough for me.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Same here. My ticket is already bought.

 

[ironwez20]

But whats the name of that song in the trailer tho ?

And what's with the b****ing about the blue/orange posters? God, it's like people are manufacturing stuff to complain about since they have nothing legitimate.

The Blue/orange has just reached non-sense levels in movie marketing. We don't have to like it. Does it affect the film itself? No, but just taken on its own terms, we are tired of blorange. We choose to discuss it.

And whats with the b***ing about the b ****ing? God, it's like people are manufacturing stuff to complain about since they have nothing legitimate.

Jon Favreau interviews Harrison Ford

This should be standard practice I'd be more responsive to seeing any film after watching interviews like this instead of getting 3min E! pieces that are incomprehensible.

 

[Sebastos]

The Craig/Ford combination already had me won over since day one, not to mention the movie itself looks ridiculously good. Bring on July 29th.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I wonder how old people who b**ch about blue/orange and lens flares are, on average. Because if they were around before the Internet existed, I bet they were going out of their minds without some sort of outlet through which they could release their petty frustrations upon the world.

[redhawk23]

Ok not to beat a dead horse, but seriously, did every graphic designer in hollywood graduate from U of I or something?

 

[Percu Taneous]

The orange makes sense though given the color palette of the southwest desert where, one presumes, this particular ripoff is set. As for the blue... that's just another ripoff.

Second picture is all kinds of cool.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Agreed. It looks like a classic western.

I got the Cowboys and Aliens Slurpee at 7-11 earlier.

It was a'ight.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Anyone else getting bombarded by annoying people who won't shut up about how stupid they think this film looks?

Look, it might be terrible. We don't know yet. But I went with some friends to see Harry Potter the other day and they were all trashing this movie, saying it looked dumb, blah blah blah. And yet one of them called Battle:LA a good movie while the other one was drooling over The Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Now, "Apes" looks okay and Battle:LA wasn't horrible but I think that if you're open minded enough to accept a movie that was essentially just a trying to be Black Hawk Down with aliens or a film about apes taking over the world, I don't see why a sci-fi western is such a silly concept.
