    God I hate this. Few things will turn me off a show quicker than those ridiculous filters they use. I’ve been to Mexico, it’s not sepia toned.

      I first noticed this extreme in the movie Traffic, and it hasn’t gotten much more subtle.

      Its like the cinema version of brown-n-bloom from games of the 7th console generation. Filmographers discovered digital filters as a new tool so of course they are they going to use the new toy everywhere.

            There are places where it’s used well. The Matrix, for example. Someone elseThread said Max Max: Fury Road, and I agree on that. Those are… at the moment… the only two that aren’t abominations of decolouring, though.

              I don’t think the first three Matrix films are color-graded. The first one for sure is merely tinted. The process doesn’t seem to exist before O Brother, Where Art Thou. At least it wasn’t applied to whole films.

              But yeah, Mad Max gets a pass for being all desert and sky. When someone has mango skin and key-lime eyes in a Miss Marple episode, fuck off.

        It’s depressing how some of those games could have looks so colorful and great preHDR in consoles. Look to little big planet, or viva pinata.

      Mexico is actually very colourful in the cities, it’s really beautiful! US / Canada is concrete gray in comparison.

      I think the US media made Mexico yellow to make themselves feel better tbh.
