I think Fincher may have inspired lots of moviemakers to make their films look they were shot in a night vision factory.

Yeah, and Panic Room is dark too. But his movies I'd say aren't so dark that you can't make anything out. There's nothing really wrong with a dark atmosphere, he's good at it (or at least was). Proyas with Dark City is another good example. You could still make everything out in those and they'd use lighting and strong colors on and off to emphasize scenes. These days it's just drab and murky too much.

I think it's a mix of the color drain and darkness that's really the worse of it and when they do use any colors like in Starfleet Academy or most nutrek it's incredibly garish instead of stylish.

That one was shot with Panavision cameras from the 1980s. Analog cameras are going the way of the dodo and it makes me sad.

Nolan and Tarantino is about all that's left I guess for anything big. I don't mind digital in general (especially projection. I do NOT miss film projection with noise, lines, and the occasional flat out breaking and melting). Sometimes it looks just fine. It also seems to allow more screwing with the look and feel in a negative way though.

Not only were Bai Ling's lines subtitled even though she was speaking English, the subtitles were yellow. I'm surprised they didn't use a stereotypical Asian-looking font.
 
They did it!! They actually said "it was a different time"! That one's my favorite right after "come on, it was the 90s!".

Mike and Jay are so confused. They want more sleazy Crank films if they can be made with the same vision, and they want them to be even more over the top, but then Jay complains about the "yellowface" being "too far" and not fitting into the world of the second film.

I dunno. I think it's hilarious and just more excess in an excessive film.

And I can't believe I'm the first poster to explicitly complain about it. Where are the usual suspects? Here, Imma post for them: RLM ARE HACK FRAUDS AND NEED TO STOP MAKING VIDEOS.

I'll never understand why people do this -- it seems to be right up there with incurious fedora-tipping for me. Whoever said that the public has a short memory was right. No, Jay, you dumb nigger, all the degeneracy that people complain about right now has been complained about in every decade, just not necessarily by current-thing-identified spokesmen.
Sidenote, all the reformed edgelords who hold forth on the internet right now would be horrified to know that they had anything in common with Tipper Gore.

edit: I just got past the part with "a lesser film would have..." -- that's just as annoying as 'different time' w/r/t the unspoken RLM drinking game and has bothered me from discourse on other platforms. It seems to be memetic among reviewers.

The constant see-sawing of talking about liking the films and then instinctively virtue-signaling about how wrong and bigoted they were is so pathetic.

If you want to see them actually being honest about an edgelord film go watch their Freddy Got Fingered review: because there's no bigotry to cry about you actually get to see them being unrestrained and have fun talking about it.

Genuinely didn't think it was bad. Mike gave nothing but praise and Jay only spent 2 minutes talking about the one thing he wasn't comfortable with.

Far more agregious was Mike keeping in 10 minutes of his plot for Tranqed 3.
