I saw something crazy in German television last week that I was going to write about, but now I’ve forgotten what it was. Na ja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godzilla: King of the Monsters<\/a> (2019)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know how when silent films<\/a> were copied, they would use dyes and tints in the scenes make different colors to create different moods (blue = night, green = nature, yellow = day)? They did the same thing here with some sort of computer filter, and it was really annoying.

This seemed to be a remake of the Tojo Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Attack of the Giant Monsters<\/a><\/em>, which I liked better. The human characters that did not come over from the 2014 film<\/a> were unsympathisch<\/em>, and SPOILER ALERT none of them die. Only the likeable humans die.<\/span> Good representation of Godzilla, though.

But mostly I got stuck on the colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bugs Bunny\/Road-Runner Movie<\/a> (1979)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Netflix, original English<\/em>
On the “watch any time it is available list”, because it’s just a bunch of clips of cartoons I’ve seen a billionty times, including the ultimate proof of American cultural superiority: “What’s Opera, Doc?”

On this watch, I was particularly struck by the background colors, especially in the Road-Runner half of the show. Gorgeous. I could watch this over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes<\/a> (1953)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know everyone is supposed to love this, but I didn’t. Monroe’s unfaithful gold-digger character annoyed me. I did enjoy Jane Russell’s musical number with the “Olympic team” dancers, and the costuming was nice, but this is one for the “I’ve seen it, so I don’t have to see it again” list. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
