Mask-off corporate bootlicking that causes these fucks to junk the most vulnerable members of their audience at the first sign of resistance aside:

now we have Pixar listening to parents who don't wanna do their jobs as parents

So Pete Docter is admitting he's not an artist, is what you're saying.

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

Doubtful!

I just looked it up and...I don't know...it's actually pretty wholesome by Manara's standards, and his heart was in the right place...he donated all the proceeds to charity.

It's just that he cannot view the world through anything but the lens of beautiful women, even at it's most normal.

MANDATORY TIMELINE CLEANSE

There must be some kind of sport going on, because my neighbours are losing their minds every few minutes.

Weirdly, tho...this has never happened before. So I can't say what they might be watching.

Has the World Cup started yet? It might be that...people in my building fuck with football more.

This is wretched.

Local group using AI slop in bid to get Toronto scared about convenience stores Neighbourhood retail on Toronto side streets has emerged as a hot-button issue putting locals at odds, and controversy surrounding one community orga…

This joyless misinformation artist fought against the reforms that saved Finch Store using AI slop trained on my art, and now he’s using one of my photos throw a small business under the bus. Abhorrent behaviour.

H-Holy SHIT. O___O

Actually, the transfer for RAIDERS had all the same hallmarks as the transfer for MANIAC COP 2. I'd consider them both great examples of a PEAK transfer...it brings out the beauty of a thing that was made 30-40 years ago, and makes it indistinguishable from something that was made NOW.

It looks like it could have been made today, and that impresses me, personally, but some really want the grain to affect that organic feeling of seeing it in theaters or on VHS (but with better color grading).

Regardless...it's a beautiful looking transfer of a beautiful looking movie.

Honestly, I think I agree with the reviews I read that this might be a PERFECT transfer, though as always...it sort of depends on what you think film should look like on physical media.

While I don't believe this has any of the hallmarks of DNR (digital noise reduction), I don't notice much grain.

Every frame looks like a painting, full of shadow, color, and detail. I think my favorite thing in any 4K transfer, tho, is just LIGHT. Headlights, streetlights, neon, florescents, explosions, fire...it all looks fucking INCREDIBLE if it's a good transfer, and this is a VERY GOOD TRANSFER.

It, of course, helps that the film itself remains one of the most perfect movies ever made (and while I don't like a lot of his modern output, Steven Spielberg will go done as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time...his filmmography is still largely unmatched), but the transfer is warm and lush

Well, I can now confirm that PARAMOUNT's 4K of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC (1981...UNBELIEVABLE!) is just REMARKABLE!

I feel a bit foolish for having resisted 4K for so long (though my reasons were less technical and more just...it's expensive, and I already own this shit. -__-)...it really is better.

Gavin Newsom comes out swinging against California billionaire tax Ballot initiative, opposed by the ultra-wealthy, would levy one-time 5% tax on individuals worth more than $1bn

Psst! Your crown prince is aggressively fighting the California billionaire tax. He’s doesn’t care about you, pass it on! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I'm particularly enamoured of the idea presented by one of the interviewees of the 'Cauldron of Story', where he proposes that all of our influences and experiences goes into a cauldron and gets stirred around, combining into something new...and that is where stories come from.

If you haven't seen MEMORY: THE ORIGINS OF ALIEN, I highly recommend seeing that out as well!

While it's ostensibly about the making of ALIEN, it's more about just how stories evolve, made up from out influences, and then changing trajectory as ideas impact with other ideas. It's very good!

Sorry, but it's URUSEI YATSURA.

I only really liked the movies of the original show, while the other three shows are PEAK.

MILO MANARA'S X-WOME- oh wait...

This is still one of the WILDEST things I think that Marvel ever published (maybe only topped by that time that the Punisher was turned into a black man. @___@ ).

FWIW the fictional governing body of the show lore, the House, was formed because rampant betting and interference/cheating by the rich accidentally caused WW I. hah haaah but that would never happen.

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)

...lip-sync against Juicy.

Yeah, Athena could be abrasive and a bit haughty and abrasive, but...in the end she's also Mother as FUCK (and has just fucking EXTRAORDINARY skin. >___<).

Darlene is a lot of fun and very charming, and I like Kenya's energy a lot (though I don't think she's particularly GOOD in the challenges...she's just naturally charming and funny).

This might be unpopular, but I also liked Athena a lot, and cried a little bit during her very earnest...

My favorites for the final two are Jane Dont and Mykki Meeks. I think they are both tremendous, and they have been going at it pound for pound in the runways.

But this is overall one of the most compelling casts I've seen (as a DRAG RACE newbie of like 2 years). Just a winning mix of personalities.

Yeah, I watched it with the Gay-ang last night. The runway was especially impressive (though Kenya should not have been in the top...that was basic).

But just showing them naturally in the Werk-room was great...the 'Crystal' bit was HILARIOUS! Crystal is an icon now! :P
