      We joke, but it honestly wouldn't shock me if a lot of competent people had been phased out or just walked away if they were near retirement already and in every industry the fresh crop is tainted by diversity hires

          >movies get worse bc moronic progressives insist affirmative action is more important than merit
          >"it's all capitalism's fault!"
          That's what you sound like.

          If they really wanted to cut costs Hollywood movies wouldn't have their insane modern budgets

            pretty much this, Godzilla -1 had a $12 million budget and looks great, it's just a little boring when GZ isn't onscreen

            you'd think as some point ~~*they*~~ would realise there's no such thing as a 'box office draw' and paying some nobody like Chris Pratt or Tom Holland a gorillion dollars does frick all for your bottom line. c**ts think they're john wayne or arnie ffs.

    New union rules require there to be fresh hotpockets on set at all times. Running the microwave that much uses a lot of electricity so there isn't enough left for the lighting rig.

    Lighting takes time. Films these days are made so fast that they can't worry about lighting, so it's either even lighting to see everything or "natural lighting" out of easiness of setting up the set.

      >Citizen Kane was darker
      CK had more contrast. And Greg Toland knew he had to light the faces of the actors in a conversation.

    Sensitivity to light is more common in lgbtqiaa+ folx, not that sum heteronormative MALE would know anything about that.

    1. digital cameras have poor highlight rendition, so DOPs like to put the important parts of the image in the shadows
    2. digital cameras have higher sensibility, so now DOPs are trained to light with much less gear
    3. with HDR grading, colorists like to grad in the lower end of the spectrum, which looks bad in a SDR monitor
    4. bad aesthetic trends
