its really tough to judge most of those on their own merits, cuz of the associations i have w/each one - feel like the WB shield is super classic though

Clearly this photo was tampered with, because these colors occur nowhere together in real life.

holy shit, they just showed a clip on conan of the new adam sandler movie & it was maybe the most orange & teal-y thing

that i've ever seen

the specific scene i'm talking about isn't on youtube but this fucking trailer

I think the "teal & orange" thing is like when you learn the meaning of a new word, and then suddenly you hear and notice that word in print everywhere. Even though they were always there.

The place where it goes bad is when people start pretending like teal and orange is a totally unacceptable color combination, and is totally made up, and is taking over our lives.

aw man, well at least I know what next month's WDYLL theme should be.

is a bit of a stretch.

Seriously, Jordan, after the first three-ish photos you posted, none of them contain unusual amounts of teal OR orange.

Let Me In owns this thread

― Gukbe, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 05:56 (2 years ago) Permalink

i don't agree -- i mean, somehow (a coincidence?) 80% of the extras in the background of these scenes happen to be wearing teal or orange?

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 05:57 (2 years ago) Permalink

i mean a totally classic random sample here of people wearing all different color shirts at the chuck-e-cheese

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 05:58 (2 years ago) Permalink

So the problem is with the wall color of a Chuck-E-Cheese in a movie? Of the shirt of a random background guy?

I assume this thread is meant as a complaint. If it's just meant as observation, then I gently and politely do not care.

classic couple of dudes, just hanging out in teal & orange shirts next to a teal vase w/ orange flowers

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:03 (2 years ago) Permalink

And that means...?

I don't think the issue is as much with costumes and set decorations as it is with the post-production colour correction.

― Gukbe, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:06 (2 years ago) Permalink

that it looks fucking retarded in succession

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:07 (2 years ago) Permalink

it's clearly an aesthetic choice & it's a terrible one

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:08 (2 years ago) Permalink

I don't think the issue is as much with costumes and set decorations as it is with the post-production colour correction.

I understand, that's ostensibly the trouble brewing here. The reason that particular palette is used so often is because the flesh tones remain reasonably believable, but the blues opposite those tones stand out in high contrast. It's all about making the blacks blacker, I think. It's a fashion, it will fade, and movies from this time period will be recognizable for that particular look.

― I am Woolen Man. The scarf and I are one. (kenan), Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:13 (2 years ago) Permalink

It's not a bad color combination, I don't think. I have much more of a problem with the obsession with making the blacks as black as the cover of "Smell the Glove," and that's not just a movie problem. Every "glossy" computer monitor nowadays has it, as well.

still, all of those jpgs pale in comparison to the scene they showed on conan -- ill try & get some shots w/ my phone but srsly y'all should turn it on in like 20 mins

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:16 (2 years ago) Permalink

I think it's that teal and orange are opposites on the colour wheel (or something like that). they make each other 'pop', as it were. that's why they do it. I blame Ridley Scott.

― Gukbe, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:22 (2 years ago) Permalink

yes that is why

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:23 (2 years ago) Permalink

Yes, that is indeed why.

wait i knew i ripped that off from a blog somewhere. stealin' from here

― Gukbe, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:25 (2 years ago) Permalink

I have debunked that blog post before, elsewhere on ILX, to the best of my ability, and I don't care enough to dig it up.

Point is, it's a silly thing to get up in arms about.

i thought there was some sort of deja vu to all of this. shouldn't skim threads while watching Machete.

"It's teal and orange and it makes me ANGRY!" Whoa whoa, easy there. The artform of film will survive this.

They're not even trying to hide it in Cedar Rapids. Everytime the commercial comes on, my brain starts doing a "teal & orange, teal & orange, teal & orange" mantra:
