Seven Samurai was the second movie that Criterion released* and now, 320+ movies later - about 12 of them Kurosawa - they have decided to revisit one of their first restoration efforts with an expanded, 3-disc re-release. Amazon must have been psychic because it was not long after the Seven Samurai Criterion Collection re-release popped into my recommendations window and then seconds later was one-clicked into my possession.Īkira Kurosawa has been a popular director for The Criterion Collection's restorations. Morse noted that he's a bit sadder in this painting than he was in the movie:Ħ) It goes well with my Yojimbo Comic-Con '05 commissionħ) Tacked onto the seven like he was in the movie, Kikuchiyo, from Comic-Con '03:ĭ and I were watching A Bug's Life a couple of weeks ago, which naturally for me brought up the topic of Seven Samurai - A Bug's Life = Seven Samurai + Three Amigos. Kambei "gets shorn bald" is a silly drinking game rule, but "Has to remind himself he's bald by rubbing his head" is a good rule).ĥ) Speaking of which, I finally scanned in the painting I had Scott Morse do at APE 2006. All Japanese movies pre-1953 are public domain, so now its just a matter of finding them.ģ) Regardless, I love my Criterion Collection restorations (even if I end up buying the Seven Samurai from them twice).Ĥ) parakkum sent me the Seven Samurai Drinking Game, which is good if you subtract out references to exact scenes (e.g. There's a whole bunch of 1940s Kurosawa films I've never seen, including this one. Another Marvel property, The Punisher, comes to mind, except that I don't think that anyone expected either version to be good.ġ) Why didn't I know that Rashomon is public domain? I love that movie.Ģ) After finding out (1), I did a Google search and found out that Sanshiro Sugata is also public domain and on Google Video. It's the only movie I can think of where a remake was justified by how bad the previous movie was. Even Gwyneth Paltrow takes her acting cues from the robotic arms, dutifully holding items for Tony Stark while he shouts orders at her.īefore Iron Man was the Incredible Hulk preview. Kudos to Robert Downey Jr., who as a result of this writers' decision shares most of his screen time with robotic arms (whose last roles were suicial GM-car-building robots) and a cellphone. "I know! We'll have him build two suits!" "I dunno, can we really fill two hours with him building his suit?" Let's make the entire movie about Tony Stark building his suit." I can just see the writer/producer meeting now: The bad guy fights are essentially debugging. Almost the entire Iron Man movie consists of Tony Stark building the Iron Man suit. Most hero origin movies ( Spiderman, Batman Begins) spend the early part of the film having the protagonist become the hero and then you get a bunch of bad-guy-butt kicking to fill the rest. and how he didn't have to act aside, lets think about the boldness of the movie's construction for a second. Another demonstration of the Magic Cut.I saw Iron Man last night and enjoyed the movie. Note, that PNG format supports transparent areas, while JPG does not. Instead of saving as a PNG, you could add a new background, and save it as JPG. Now, you can export your image as a PNG: File - Export As - PNG, confirm with Save. When the result on the right looks well, press OK at the top to confirm it. If the object contains hair or fur, you should set the border to 20 or even more. Then, gradually increase the Border, until you find the right value. You can start working with Border = 0, to determine the initial result (also, Magic Cut works faster with Border = 0). The Border value allows you to soften the edge between Foreground / Background by a certain rate. Borderīy default (with Border = 0), Magic Cut marks every pixel as a Foreground or a Background, creating hard edges betwen these areas. But make sure there is never any Green color in the background, or a Red color in the object (use the Grey color to erase such places). You can keep working with that guess, or clear it with a Clear button and start from scratch. When you start Magic Cut, your image is pre-marked with Red and Green, as the "initial guess". You can move the image while holding the Spacebar, or by dragging the preview image.

You can Zoom to a specific place with a Mouse Wheel, or by pressing Ctrl + Plus (or Minus) on your keyboard. At the top, you can choose the brush size and the color (Red or Green), a Grey is an eraser. You can paint on the left, and you will see the result on the right. Use Magic Cut by painting over the image with two colors: Go to Photopea, press File - Open, and open an image you want to work with. Magic Cut is a part of Photopea photo editor. It is one of the fastest ways to do it, and you can use it online for free. Magic Cut is a tool for removing background (cutting out an object) from a photo.
