I am sorry,
I hated it when Ladon did it, I hate it now...
I have a huge problem with this - and I don't care if I am just too stupid to see it, or the mod element was intentionally hidden. I have one question:
Why do you hide the one thing that is supposed to make sure you haven't preproduced this film?
I see at least 3 complete shots that I think are preproduced. The dialog in the factory, the fight in the subway, and the fall of the guy.
And I know the answer: The letter will be somewhere in it, or maybe there is a blurry yellow dot next to a black something, or the robots shadow together with...
I bet I can find any letter in nine out of ten random shots in any film, just put a two 2 studs wide bricks over the other, and the outline wil form an 8 ... which will allow you to form any possible letter (with enough fantasy). The difference to a legit THAC entry is that in 99% of all THAC entries you see a clear MOD and that calms me, and that is all I am asking for. Where is the problem to make a black and yellow plate on the floor in the sub, or a sign S4 or Subway, or carve a tatoo in his left arm saying S for superman, or why not simply use a yellow head with black hair, art wise it would have been exactly no difference. The only differenc I can think of that when the scene was made the mod element wasn't known.
I am not making a pledge for a disqualificatio here, I make a pledge that states that for future THACs this kind of using the MOD element is banned.
Cheers Arend
