For the photo gurus of the board, Why…

Is it when you see a movie and they reminisce about the old days you always see a photo of them when they were younger and the photo looks like crap!

I watched the film about 4 old blokes that have to go into space to fix a Russian satellite that has gone pear shaped.

Well, as in all movies you catch a glimpse of a picture of yesteryear on the sideboard and it looks as if a 5 year old kid has cut the head off of the person and stuck it on a real old photo’ this happens in all movies.

With all the technology at hand today, don’t you think they could get photos to look like what they should and not a cut and paste on kind of thing?

I guess it depends on the prop guy they have and how interested he is in getting the detail and/or how big his budget is.

yeah, it's certainly better in some movies than others. budget and props are probably both to blame when it goes wrong, or to commend when it doesn't.

rman, are you referring to the cover or the horrible idea of having the actors use their own voices for their young selves?

fleurya the movie that mudcrabs is refering to is Space Cowboy
