Just imagine a world full of beautiful stained glass windows which also generate electricity…
Photovoltaic bricks and glass are one of my favorite technological advancements and I can’t wait to see buildings covered in the stuff.

HOLY SHIT

Anderson Cooper has no time for Donald Trump Jr.’s garbage tweets and right-wing conspiracy theories.
#this entire scene is a fucking masterpiece #the building tension in Barbossa’s cabin #the strings in the score rising ominously #and then the entire movie turns on a /dime/ #‘oh okay’ #I remember thinking #‘fucking GHOST PIRATES’ #it drops from historical swashbuckler to fantasy swashbuckler in one set piece #in which the rules for how the crew work are given to you purely in visuals #and you get to see that sharp difference between horror-horror and fun horror #because this scene genuinely terrifies Elizabeth #and delights /you/ #instead of being awful for both of you #god
it’s just so neatly done and raises the stakes for the film and puts
everything into context and adds depth to the characters #and comes as a complete surprise #this is all the things you want in a set piece #we should all aspire to storytelling so economical #(incidentally so should THE SEQUELS #christ) (via wizzard890)Also a demonstration of how to do CGI and do it WELL. Very little of this scene looks hokey or “dated” even fifteen years later. They really thought through how it should WORK, not just how it should LOOK, and it shows.
