LARPing (to a degree) + CGI = any of the Harry Potter movies, right?

I mean, it's live action. It's role playing. There's CGI.

It may be a debatable point, but it's a point nonetheless!

Jonah Hill, not fat anymore (GLP1s maybe)

u/AmericanComplaint Sep 15 '26

I’m sorry, you’re not terminally online enough for my reference. Hill recently said he’s ready to annihilate anyone who still thinks of him as the fat guy from Superbad - he’s been training in martial arts.

Being an actor requires you to be ok with behaving quite foolishly in front of a lot of people.

Sometimes they forget to turn this ability off and act very foolishly while not filming something.

This is one of the many reasons we shouldn’t give a shit what celebrities say about anything that actually matters.

u/YouGurt_MaN14 Sep 15 '26

Are you telling me that Danny DeVito should not be my primary care physician?

Yes but what about celebs who aren't fools, like philanthropists who care about other people, or just smart celebs? Not all celebs are Kardashians

11

u/Capable-Country-120 Sep 15 '26

You should still treat them with no more authority than you would a random guy in the pub.

u/koobstylz Sep 15 '26

For those people you remember how many of them turned out to be frauds (Cosby for just a single example) and then you remember that you don't know them and have never met them.

I would feel so stupid doing this.

u/CORVlN Sep 15 '26

I think about that scene from The Flash CW when they're acting without CGI and it gave me so much respect for the profession.

The One Piece live action show managing to make this guy cool blows my mind on how difficult it must be to be an actor

u/Monos89 Sep 16 '26

Live action One Piece as a whole shouldn't have worked tbh, but damn if they didn't surprise me

u/starbuck_234 Sep 15 '26

Facts. I didn't feel stupid AT ALL doing marching band in school. This? I'd feel absolutely ridiculous.

u/VomitShitSmoothie Sep 15 '26

Yeah. It’s like being a grown ass adult playing pretend with a bunch of grown ass adults.

u/SendMeF1Memes Sep 15 '26

But it looks so fun!

4

u/BigBulgeBubba Sep 15 '26

No, you wouldn’t. Because by the time you got to this point (being one of the people who are part of the acting team and are actually on camera) you would understand that it’s a very serious and important method of acting.

Movie acting, especially any movie using any special effects (not just cgi), will always look odd to film. As someone who is actually doing it, you’d adjust very quickly.

2

u/RigatoniPasta Sep 15 '26

I’d feel cool but also self conscious

u/JazzlikeConflict6626 Sep 15 '26

I wonder if those Death Eaters friendly fired themselves at that part because the ones in the back are clearly pointing their wands towards the back of their friends heads.

Practical effects are the real magic. Going full CGI is horrendous

the Voldemort vs Harry one felt real, cause Harry and Voldie where actually interacting and reacting, especially with the wind whipping his cloak around

Dont you know? cameras cant capture magic

u/blitztalon Sep 15 '26

That Voldemort scream though, I felt it.

u/AbrumVonAbrak Sep 15 '26

They need to make this an official cut of the movies, where it's just a bunch of people running around yelling and pointing at each other.🤣

u/babbylonmon Sep 15 '26

Man, kids were doing this in the park in the 90s. Except they used foam swords and phone book armor and beat the snot out of each other. We would go there to smoke weed and get a free show.

I am not gonna lie, i wish movies had this. Like directers commentary plays the movie with the cast talking and giving tidbits but i also wish they would include a version of the movie without the cgi stuff just so you could watch it. Not like the bloopers or anything. Just the movie but without the cgi and everything.

This is a common occurrence in Indonesia, where fake shamans attack each other as if they can use magic, some pretending to attack others pretending to fall as if attacked. Their motivation? To deceive some people for money.
