Hiya. I'm putting together a Video Tutorial thing for modeling and UVW mapping in 3D max.

I'm making a Brawl-styled version of MEGA MAN (as decided from my last journal) and this will follow modeling from scratch and unwrapping and should teach most of the tricks that I use with 3D Max. But I've never really done video editing.

Don't think I'm gonna cover texturing.. but I might...

Anyone know about it? or willing to answer rather simple questions?

uhh.. Hi. I have a question for those of you that bother to check my journals.

If you gave a hoot about SmashBros Brawl/Melee, Weither you have it, have a wii, or like me, never actually played it, i was wondering. What 3 characters would you have liked to have seen in it that didn't make the cut? ...please "exclude assist trophies" and FinalFantasy characters from this.

Argueably, MegaMan is one of the highest here.. maybe Bomberman too.. but uhh.. who didn't make the cut that you liked?

This is basically all of my thoughts, Good and bad, about the new Indiana Jones movie.



Feel free to glance at the amount of text. note that the movie is 2 hours long. I reveal EVERY SINGLE PLOT ELEMENT in the movie. yes, EVERY SINGLE ONE. Feel free to look at the length without reading.

***SPOILERS INCLUDED***








it was Close Enounters Of The Third Kind set in the 50's with a poorly concieved plot, very bad dialog, random slapstick humor alè Episode3, obscenely huge action scenes that really did nothing to drive the plot, and indiana jones almost randomly added as a character as if a 3d model imported into halo

...the writing was what youd expect from a 10 year old writing a NATIONAL TREASURE fanfic starring his own sonic fancharacter

Im mocking George Lucas. As he should be shot. Really.

...The Last Crusade had witty and creative dialog that you actually have to pay attention to to really seriously enjoy the subtlties of

The Saucer Men From Mars was totally devoid of this concept. with the only real conversation of the movie being Indiana and Karen Allen as her Raiders OF The Lost Arch character but nothing like her in reality argueing with him about how much they love eachother

and... the villainess elf queen from LOTR? Her part was so useless and minimal and such a WALKONTOMBRAIDERMOVIEROLE that she shouldda been cut entirely

and Shia LeBouf proved that he could be The FoNz. but he was out of place compeltely in the movie

so the entire movie was him and Indy as bugs and daffy, getting out of one hairbrained scrape after another including but not limited to using a barfight to get away from russians, jumping on boxes to get away from russians, feeding russians to giant ants, randomly punching russians and pushing them away with a table, and using a snake to get indy out of quick sand that wasnt quick sand, And of course.. hiding in a fridge will save you from a nuclear weapon if you live in pleasantville.

...the moment you knew that even the people making the movie werent taking it seriously was when Bouf.. or Mudd, was swinging through the trees tarzan style on vines like spiderman, keeping up with two speeding cars trying to push eachother off a nearby cliff, and having his monkey friends attack said russian villainess

not that the alien grey, or saucer take off werent interesting to look at. In fact, the GREY was the ONLY character.. .and I mean this honestly... The ONLY character in the movie to have ANY character development what-so-ever, and this was in the form of several other crystal skeletons merging to become 1 alien.

but the story would have been great for the mid 1980's, simply due to the fact that the NES videogame would have had equal or even expanded depth.

I read the script. I was extatic about the movie, And I think they overdid Indy's age a bit because he was playing alot older then he actually seemed despite the fact that he survived not 1, but 3 waterfall rides in a carboat.

Also, Indy's buddy frequently switches what side he's on as a possible attempt at adding a plot twist, but this seems more ad-libbed then anything else and usually is very predictable.

If you've bothered to read this far, I've already revealed EVERY plot element to you. except these two rather minor ones... the group of ninja cavemen hiding in the temple had blow darts, and Indiana jones doesnt care if you go to school unless you are his son.

I jokingly stated on many occasions that if this movie succeeds, it will be Stephen Spielberg's fault. If this movie fails, it will be George Lucas's.

The entire time you watch this movie, it's like watching the star trek prequels. random special effects scenes are spliced together using a random joke, or illusion to there having at one time been a generalized plot element.

...obviously, this is George Lucas's style. Unfortunately, Stephen Spielberg decided to do a George Lucas movie, so it ends up being as convoluted as the Kubrick film A.I.

moving to the postitives..? well. Harrison ford coudldda done alot more believeable stuntwork, Sean Connery appears in picture form, and odds are good they wont be making another one.

Thank you. I think I'm done now.
