Jacob: The Man And His Dream

Spent this past weekend at Atlanta Brick Con! I got to exhibit Gotham City 1936 in public for the first time, contributed a model of Videodrome to the Atlanta inspired city by PeachLUG, and saw a huge number of incredible builds, including my second time seeing the New Hashima cyberpunk collab.

For television to work the way we expect television to work, it’s gotta be cheap

It’s not a matter of talent it’s a matter of scale, Apple threw hundreds of millions of dollars at them for that show, and any time you were working with that amount of money, the complexity and the time requirement blows up

A two part they had to rush significant re-shoots for, because they forgot that it was covered by a non-disparagement clause of the settlement Jackson had reached with the victims.

typing up a designer's statement for my Gotham City display at Atlanta Brick Con next weekend, and there was no better choice for an epitaph than @blackcasebook.bsky.social's tag

it’s so beast mode that basically no one cared about that ICE agent that got his finger bit off the other day

bluesky still refuses to give me a blue check so i’ve decided you can only be punk rock if you don’t have one btw. i look forward to abandoning this position when they correct their mistake

Cannibalized a Wonder Woman LED flashlight for her arms and Na’vi Colonel Quaritch for his legs so that yolked Bane could live

It is more about a hobby than art, but I think that’s applicable to the sentiment

The validation is nice, but even though I felt 8 feet tall after everybody at Videodrome gushed about my Lego model of the shop, I made it because I wanted to have a little plastic version of Videodrome

LEGO model of the Atlanta area video rental store Videodrome

Text message exchange Me: Oh I forgot to mention while I was in Videodrome earlier I grabbed a movie to rent and the owner let me take it gratis Me: So that’s how I rented Amadeus for free: spending $195 between materials and hiring a graphic designer to create a loving model of the business My friend: Businesses don’t want you to learn this one weird trick

also I keep forgetting @netscape.bsky.social is here and posting and hasn’t simply joined a monastery

Been intermittently posting here but if @blackcasebook.bsky.social is truly abandoning Twitter that might be the tipping point for me to get on here more

It’s a neat gimmick but the price point is crazy. $100 for a set that would otherwise be $50

Working on a LEGO project that has demanded the creation of the funniest thing I’ve ever Photoshopped

I know a set dresser who looks exactly like this

To be fair, they only bought distribution rights after the movie was made

I hate to answer the original prompt on your answer, but I love telling this story. I took a friend to see avengers infinity war, who had never seen a single Marvel movie before. He had no fucking clue what was going on, it was hysterical

Also, damn, I keep forgetting you’re on here, my Cole posting draught is self imposed

Doesn’t really matter in the part of the timeline tbh. And canon has more or less treated KOTOR as Having Happened for years now

I think we all got what we were going to get out of this conversation four months ago, so respectfully please don’t necro an old thread to get dunks in

I was getting notifications on some old posts criticizing someone who was just straight up lying about you so I was wondering if you had come back on here. I’m not on here very much but always glad to see you posting anywhere!

Every early SVU ep:
Benson: Our perp is a peeper. Watched the victims long enough to study their habits

Sadler, vibrating with rage: when I get my hands on this freak I’ll give him something to study

Munch: Hey guys be careful, they’re doing 9/11 soon

I did a floral and decor install at a bat mitzvah last night and this has me considering whether the DJ Wizeguy (mid 50s Italian guy in a flat cap) spinning for the party might have had a PhD

going on a wikipedia tour that led me to the article about Blowback and saw @jakecole.bsky.social quoted in the reception section and basically did the Leo Point

Listening to @edzitron.com’s latest podcast about generative video and the mention of the Kalshi ads made me go “yes!!!”

my blood pressure spikes everytime I see one of those things

How did I not follow you already? Seems improbable

A shitload of American movies shoot overseas now. Marvel has moved wholesale to the UK for example

I like Bret’s blog but man he’s like the proto-Academia Turbo Lib
