doctornvrmore: @madam_ovary_ why was interstellar at a disadvantage again? Lol

 

madam_ovary_: lol. I get annoyed at the fact that films based on comic books aren't recognized as well. 'Guardians of the Galaxy' should have totally gotten that Oscar for make-up artist.

 

madam_ovary_: Well, because visually, it had no basis in anything already established. Comic books are a visual medium so even space spice like Guardians have call back to previously established material whereas everything you see in interstellar is based on imagination and theories about our universe rather than anything visually established. That's just my opinion anyway.

 

doctornvrmore: @madam_ovary_ Hmmm... I don't know that I agree. Imagination is imagination. You might say it was a disadvantage to recreate something that has a visual history rather than getting to do whatever you want...

 

madam_ovary_: It is certainly difficult to be confined as an artist to something already established rather than have free reign over your creations, and I would never argue against that. However, this Oscar rewards the technical subtleties and the science behind creating computer animated imagery, which is easier if you already have a foundation. That's just my perspective, but I'm not a visual effects artist so I wouldn't really know. I'm just making conjectures based on what little I know of creating computer generated images.

 

doctornvrmore: @madam_ovary_ I honestly think neither is an advantage or disadvantage just different view points, different angles. I have a background in graphic arts, although in no way comparable to the level of talent that goes into film production- whether I've created a logo from scratch or more confined to another's ideas- it's just a mindset. For me... I think tho, and feel that a lot of politics go into the oscars. I do think comic book movies and traditional geeky sci-fi (Godzillia and Planet of the Apes) isn't taken seriously and is dismissed -no matter how well it's done... And the subject matter of Interstellar is why is gets an advantage over "silly comic book movies" ... A movie tackling the more grave and dramatic plot of Interstellar- I think they want that to shine and don't want to give the comic book stuff traction or validity ... Just my opinion. Politics control everything in our world- again my opinion... BUT keeping in mind, I don't really care about the Oscars, just one of 10-20 ways hollywood pats itself on the back. I was trying to have fun and be sarcastic taking a comic book geek angle on the oscars... 😊😊

 

gurriapu: You know "The Establishment" will never acknowledge a nerd-comic-book-based-movie to be anything else than canon fodder for the masses. Art is something else, so they believe 😤

 

doctornvrmore: @gurriapu Yeah. Very true. I was mostly just being sarcastic and having fun though.
