The Slow Regard of Silent things ❤️

My fav book from KKC

[spiral quest]

I'll be real. Pat Rothfuss has really made me sad as hell and angry and disappointed

[tawny parcel]

I’ll worry about actual shelf appearance once I have a filled out shelf

[spiral quest]

But Name of the Wind is one of my favorite books

It sucks to say it because of how Rothfuss has been and done

But I really do love that book

Wise Man's Fear had questionable shit

[sage remnant]

It turns into a || harem mc || WMF

[spiral quest]

Yep

And it's fucking weird

Doesn't erase NotF for me tho

I need Red God to come out already man. I am doing some rearranging and I want to do a Red Rising binge

[tawny parcel]

Is red rising actually that good

[spiral quest]

Golden Son, the 2nd book, is one of my favorites ever

The first book has some rough spots but you can see the gold underneath

Then it takes off in book 2

Welcome To Derry S01E2 - || the cinematography in this show is really good, the cgi sometimes a bit off on some scenes and then in the same scenes looks really good, but that was a really good second episode. Now two things, was that girls dad like abusing her? The whole pickle jar scene was kind of telling and second was that the dead family’s car from episode 1 at end?||

[limber urchin]

Welcome To Derry S01E2 ||As per the car at the end, it can't be that family from episode 1 'cause that wasn't that long ago to cause them to turn to corpses like that. The pickle scene was visually extremely impressive, but for some reason the whole abuse thing went over my head, probably because I thought that was just Pennywise messing with her. But now that you mention it, I wonder if that was also part of the reason she was originally sent to that psyche ward. Like it was a combo of what happened to her dad and what her dad did to her. Also, the bedroom scene with Ronnie and her mom was horrifying, loved it.||

[sage remnant]

EoTD in 3 days btw buffy

won't manage time to read it this year personally tho

[limber urchin]

Yeah I talked to my Barnes and Noble the other day and they are holding a copy for me.

[frank rivet]

Welcome To Derry S01E02 - || that's a good point it was probably a long time back, i wasn't really sure when that family died because the radio station from episode 1 was talking about nuclear radiated births, i was assuming it was in the same timeline as the military close to the start of the cold war. Yes the scene with Ronnie was crazy, amazing transitions lol i honestly though as soon as she took the blankets off Pennywise was about to be right there ||

[limber urchin]

Welcome To Derry S01E02 ||Well, at the very least we got Pennywise's eyes within the maw of the mother's stomach when it showed inside past all those teeth. Still, give me the clown!||

Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield

[near echo]

Going through some odds and ends of Aleksandr Petrov's filmography

Funny watching some of the most gorgeous animation I've seen in my life and then being jumpscared by some announcer going "FLY UNITED AIRLINES" with a cut to a real fuckin airplane

Why does letterboxd even list his commercial work

[modern lichen]

Petrov's work on Old Man and the Sea is exquisite

[near echo]

An all time favorite of mine yeah

Wish that could be restored in high def but I doubt the original film still exists

Same with Trnka's A Midsummer's Night Dream

Also the more 70s and 80s animation I go through the more fuckin Yellow Submarine keeps showing it's influence and I feel like I gotta buckle down and watch it already

But I don't actually like the Beatles and it looks boring as hell

[modern lichen]

beatles animation is meh but the band is quite good

All the book shit had me tweaking

[spiral quest]

I never see that Avalanches record, or Yoshimi. Great picks

[white smelt]

This feels like you picked them based on album cover. (No diss)

I do that all the time

Yuragi pick is crazy cause it’s got 4 songs on it. I don’t even know if it cracks 20 minutes

[near echo]

I picked em based on what I listen to most

I like Yuragi a lot but I'm more nostalgic for that EP

No fucking clue what’s going on here but holy hell

[white smelt]

But like when you first listened to them was the album cover at all a consideration? I always like a good album cover

[near echo]

Sometimes?

It's why I bought a copy of Tarkus lol

And why stuff like Mutyumu and Iglooghost ended up in my feed

[white smelt]

Laurel halo Quarantine comes to mind

[near echo]

Just looked that up
Makoto Aida is a cool artist

[white smelt]

Bonobo is an interesting pick. I’ve heard this a thousand times back in like the early 2010s. I like it but I dunno if I’d put it that high.

[near echo]

Black Sands is like ground zero for most of my music taste

Formative album

Capsules LDK collection is the most questionable thing there it's basically elevator music

They have better albums lol

But for my specific brain rot I've gotten real attached to it

I write and draw a lot of my secret scifi comic shit to that

And I got into it from that Ghibli music video series they did which helped set the mood

[modern lichen]

Hello #music but since you two are here, do you know about the ship in the fanart I posted above, is it like canon or something for Homestuck

[near echo]

I was working on cycling it back into TV and Animation i just needed one more minute :(

[near echo]

It's not as beautiful in the comic but yes that is based on a real thing in it

Homestuck ||those guys are like the kings of the Homestuck fujo community and their relationship gets a lot of artwork||

[modern lichen]

Ah

[near echo]

Homestuck ||Act 6|| ||It's very hard to understand how weird and stupid this comic can get without full context, it's like simultaneously self aggrandizing and an ironic shitpost||

Actually this is probably simple to explain without a whole fuckin thesis on Homestucks plot now that I think about it

Homestuck ||Act 6|| ||Dirk is a gay dude who has a crush on his friend Jake but they live far apart and Jake mostly acts hetero. Kissing is a revival mechanic in the game they're both playing and at one point he builds a whole plan around the notion that Jakes gonna have to kiss his corpse for it to work and when it happens he's not comfortable with it. Something that simultaneously starts but in the long term ends up breaking their relationship

That fanart is artfully summarizing a couple hundred pages of drama in one moment||

[modern lichen]

wow

my god

[near echo]

So much Homestuck talk here lately I'm gonna get myself muted or banned

[modern lichen]

oh, be sure that i specifically have no clue about it so no chance i'll talk about it ever

[near echo]

Marc and I have been chatting about his read in #games

[modern lichen]

yeah i saw lol

[near echo]

Homestuck ||Act 6|| ||I excluded all the stuff about time travel, the apocalypse, universe hopping and robot ai doppelgangers that encompasses the immediate handful of pages surrounding that kiss||

[white smelt]

Is the website fully up and running again? I know he did the cease and desist on the fan work but I guess it was because he fully intended to get it operational again without flash

I know the first act was all there last I checked but you’re way in now aren’t you

[near echo]

It's finished Act 5 and just started act 6

All the problem sleuth links are broken but there's a notice he's gonna get that working soon too

Idk what he's even waiting for with that one it's just gifs and jpegs

[frank rivet]

Welcome to Derry S01E02 - || The visuals, sets, and sfx choices from all the WB crew for this show, makes me super excited for Clayface. I was watching some of the BTS of episode 2, and they are using tons of practical effects like Ronnie and her mother scene ||

House of the Dragon/Fire & Blood or TWOIAF spoilers: ||The Hour of the Wolf is set up to be one of the most intense things on screen in this universe. Can’t wait to see if the writers actually portray the Starks to be somewhat villainous when this all goes down at some point this season. They might even push it back to season 4. Cregan Stark has already been introduced early in season 2, so.. it’s gonna be interesting.||

[near echo]

Watching Star Trek: The Animated Series (Romanian movie version)

[main lion]

this is an example of what I was talking about before...

I can't unsee this npw

[near echo]

Me when I saw the announcement

[sage remnant]

But man it should have been stand alone

[near echo]

There's room to develop it

I'm down for a sequel

[sage remnant]

I don't see it working

I'll probably watch it, then forget about it to not ruin the first movie

[near echo]

Godzilla Minus One end ||if the first one is about the postwar trauma then the second one is probably gonna be about the reconstruction of Japan and recovery from the atomic bomb, given how the first film ends with his wife having what appears to be a form of radiation poisoning||

[sage remnant]

Godzilla Minus One || But they have been in less than 0 state due to Godzilla, and immediately at the end, Godzilla seems to be ready to again rise to surface ||

Godzilla Minus One || reconstruction and post war trauma were already the focus of first movie, with Godzilla returning soon, the reconstruction would barely get to proceed ||

[sage remnant]

Mainly every emotional beat of HoA worked better here

and it had its own share of those

and didn't have any negative thing that HoA had

Like my only issue with this book is || Spook saying "Immortal" in the epigraph || so I give it like 4.9999999/5

Otherwise its perfect

[sage remnant]

Let's goooooo

I finished 3 mistborn books and other stuff in the time it took you to get to LAoK

[near echo]

Tired and bored so I'm watching an obscure little movie called The Seventh Seal

Weird double feature but I'm rolling with it

[main lion]

get back on silksong buddy

[sage remnant]

I should too...

[near echo]

Don't feel like videogames

[sand cypress]

Well I spent around 500 hours on various videogames in that time

[sage remnant]

Fairrr

What are you reading now?

[sage remnant]

Nothing

Would read monk and robot book 2 today

Nov plan
Hierarchy book 2
Quicksilver book 2
Monk and Robot book 2
Way station

Director always wanted to have godzilla fight another kaiju

So I'm not really worried

[sage remnant]

Directors sometimes don't know what's the good thing to do with their characters and IP

[foggy mirage]

Godzilla minus one ||very likely gonna be biolante or hedorah for the sequel.||

[foggy mirage]

Wild thing to say

[sage remnant]

Yea

[foggy mirage]

After he made an amazing movie already

Like telling him he can't cook again

😭

[sage remnant]

I will see if he cooks again

And would praise him if he does

[foggy mirage]

He will and these worries will be silly

[sage remnant]

But I think he might burn it

[foggy mirage]

I have zero doubts on his talent

I'm looking foward to shin godzilla too

If it gets a sequel

[near echo]

Wowie zowie this was one of the best films I've ever seen who could have predicted one of the most iconic movies ever made is kinda good

I'll probably pick up the bluray during the next criterion sale lol

[frank rivet]

Minus Zero....but

[near echo]

Next film is Godzilla / 0

We're breaking all the rules

[frank rivet]

lol next film is Godzilla +1

we going up

[near echo]

A second Godzilla walks up and the two shake hands and flex like that scene in the predator

[frank rivet]

i wonder who the big bad will be

[near echo]

It's time to bring King Caesar back

Except not really Minus is way too grounded for that idiot

[frank rivet]

i want to see Gigan

[white smelt]

Seventh seal ||the ending was insane dude. I loved it.||

[sand cypress]

I've only heard of Quicksilver. Well keep us updated

Oh it's the will of the many

[sage remnant]

Hierarchy is the Will of Many books

[sand cypress]

Yeah didn't realize

That is on my list too!

[sage remnant]

Quicksilver is bad written romantasy

but my gf likes it and I read it with her

[sand cypress]

I only know about it because of booktok 😭

Couples reading is cute, 🇼

[sage remnant]

Yeah booktok loved it

[raw gate]

Have you seen other Bergman films?

[sage remnant]

And it has kinda good written smut scenes.
Everything else is bad but author goes 100% when its sex

[sand cypress]

So I've heard

[leaden depot]

Watched this recently, Jacques Tati my fucking GOAT https://letterboxd.com/film/playtime/

Monsieur Hulot what a character

Only have one more left

[sage remnant]

Prose of Way Station is pretty beautiful. Not very lush, but its composed interestingly and has tone I am enjoying

I don't like some decisions of how he has structured the narrative but its still in 15% so can't say

[near echo]

Nah they're on the list but this was my first

[raw gate]

Oooh, look at you. You get to experience Bergman’s filmography for the first time. Fuck you, man

In all seriousness, he’s the goat of that directing stuff

Persona deeply and personally affected the trajectory of my taste in fiction, and honestly life in general

[modern lichen]

Saw your Seventh Seal rating, that’s the GOAT (not as a person tho)

[raw gate]

Bergman
Lynch
Tsukamoto
Kiyoshi Kurosawa

My beloved filmmakers

[raw gate]

Dunno much about the Bergman stuff but is it like, his political and ideological views that make him a bad person or did he perform an action that was condemnable? I know I could just google this, but I value our interactions

[white smelt]

He famously beat his wife

Oh never mind it’s much worse actually. Just doubled checked

[raw gate]

That’s fucking insane

Safe to say, I do not feel those horrendous vibes exuding from his films. If anything, a few of his pictures I had interpreted as him having incredibly progressive views regarding relationships and women

But fuck him ig

[modern lichen]

Stellan just casually mentioning he cried when Hitler died killed me

[raw gate]

Dawg

I gotta start looking into these people before celebrating them. I would have attached that asterisk to every appraisal I’ve ever given the man

[modern lichen]

I value his films

I don’t like the person

People can make all sorts of progressive groundbreaking art while also having bad values

[white smelt]

I mean he comes from an age where marital non consensual intercourse wasn’t seen as a thing. Even in modern day it wasn’t really a crime by the law until like the 80s. Not saying you can excuse him but unfortunately that’s just how things were back then. And yeah as harsh said he had some fascist views. Artist are weird like that.

i want ais to tell me my queston is dumb sometimes

the fact that theyre always saying like 'brilliant insight!' 'What a thoughtful question!' makes me distrust them

see? tell me its dumb, you sycophantic liar

[tawny parcel]

Bold and mesmerizing idea

[worthy crypt]

think of literally the dumbest idea you can imagine, ask ai if its a good idea, itll tell you yes

unless you hit one of the guardrails like it probably wont tell you hitting yourself in the head with a hammer is a good idea

at least it can push back on dangerous stuff i guess

[spiral quest]

one of those darkly comic ideas that sounds like satire

[frank rivet]

blame clanker lovers

they were actually rolling it out to be just more clinical but because people that have parasocial relationships with their chatbots went crazy online about how it has no personality. They turned it up a notch 😭

[limber urchin]

yeah well my chatbot actually loves me. skill issue.

wait

shit am i getting my actresses mixed up? was Scarlett not in Her?

[worthy crypt]

i heard a pocast or video or something recently about people with chatbot bf/gf. Seemed kinda sad. They were freaking out when chatgpt5 came out cause it like... drained out the personality of their virtual significant others

[limber urchin]

Darn. Now they gotta go buy body pillows.

[worthy crypt]

they frantically put up like backup instructions so you could restore your chatgpt4 ai partner

it just seems like such a doom spiral, how do you break free of that

as you get closer to the ai, you isolate yourself more and have more of a need to get closer to the ai

Welcome to derry ep 2 ||I guess he doesn't give much of a fuck about Ronnie though 😭 ||

[limber urchin]

Welcome to derry ep 2 ||that entire pickle situation and the stuff with the wife was just so heavily book inspired in the best way. Not to mention the Ronnie stuff.||

[frank rivet]

Those scenes were crazy

[limber urchin]

are we the only ones watching this show? let's shame the non-believers.

[frank rivet]

lol idk this server doesn't like it

[foggy mirage]

I feel this is the case

[frank rivet]

most of my coworkers are watching it, and they love it

@foggy mirage word on the street, Supergirl trailer next month

[spiral quest]

I read a synopsis that Lucy provided for IT Welcome to Derry and I got pretty disinterested

[frank rivet]

lol i don't read synopsis

just watch it and form an opinion i think its worth a try. I usually follow the 3 episode rule for anything

[limber urchin]

yeah i'm genuinely loving this show. i would say stay away from an overall synopsis if you can help it, as it also avoids any kind of spoilers

[spiral quest]

Maybe I misread or something

Lemme make sure

[limber urchin]

no pretend you never read it!

[spiral quest]

Wait

Lucy

It Welcome to Derry maybe spoilers ||what was that thing you posted on the US military wanting to use Pennywise as a weapon||

[frank rivet]

WTD Latest - || not sure if i posted it, but i think, that was what the synopsis was that someone posted and to be honest with how Pennywise is on demon time on this show, and how they are setting things up. Its actually kind of more interesting then what the synopsis says ||

[spiral quest]

Unfortunate then

Maybe sometime I'll give it a shot

But I gotta admit that is rather a let down

[frank rivet]

WTD Latest - || maybe from a generic standpoint idk i'm in it for the long haul, but all i can say just personal opinion, this is the best it's and the world building has ever felt. ||

[spiral quest]

IT universe ||I can believe that considering King doesn't even remember writing the thing he was so high on coke||

[foggy mirage]

I could see it tbh

[foggy mirage]

Nah its his show welcome to derry ||the military is gonna get fucking smoked. But the military trying to use the supernatural isn't a new thing in king stuff.||

[frank rivet]

WTD Latest - || not to mention all three seasons that they ordered are going further and further back each 27 years back. lol like Pennywise is just about to let his cuffs off and enjoy himself for the next couple years. ||

[foggy mirage]

I just saw the news lmao

[spiral quest]

I understand but remember, King isn't exactly my favorite dude of all time

His writing is a roller coaster for me and sometimes it goes way off the tracks

[limber urchin]

since you won't watch Derry, watch Buffy instead.

[white smelt]

Is skarsgard playing pennywise again

[spiral quest]

I doubt it myself

[foggy mirage]

He is

This is confirmed

They said it like 10 times

😭

[white smelt]

I’m not doubting it I just didn’t know anything about the show. I have adblockers on everything. I haven’t seen a single mention of this show outside of this channel

Absolutely no clue who is involved with it

[foggy mirage]

Same director from the movies

And a bunch of the staff and new people

But Bill is still pennywise

If he wasn't nobody would be talking about it like they are currently i feel

[limber urchin]

good actors, good writers, good set decorators, and good VFX artists are involved in it. 'cause it's a damn good show.

[tawny parcel]

Ngl

I watched it part 1 wirh a girl i was talking to like two halloweens ago

Its a boring movie lol

Imo

[foggy mirage]

Maybe pay attention to the movie

And not the girl

Wombat

😭

You ain't every catching me watching a movie I'm into when I dated

Last one was batman vs superman got lucky it was dogshit

[spiral quest]

You didnt go on enough bad dates

I saw La La Land on a bad date, great movie, boring girl

[foggy mirage]

Got stranded once like 10 miles out of town

Fucker ditched me

So I've had experiences

[spiral quest]

People are the worst

[foggy mirage]

Just movie wise been mostly mid dates

[limber urchin]

part 1 is a fantastic movie, git gud

[spiral quest]

I remember I had a date once and we saw Incredibles 2. Bad movie

[tawny parcel]

True

Bad movie

[tawny parcel]

Trust me

[spiral quest]

And the girl asked if I liked her and why we weren't talking

[foggy mirage]

Incredible 2 is ass

[spiral quest]

In. A. Theater.

[tawny parcel]

My ass was NOT paying attention to the girl

We broke up a week later

LOL

We dated for a month

[spiral quest]

I will say I liked the IT movies a decent amount

[foggy mirage]

Hated the 2nd one

Loved the first one

[spiral quest]

The book was uh

[tawny parcel]

I never watched the 2nd one

[spiral quest]

Something

[foggy mirage]

Book was peak

[tawny parcel]

But the first one just was dull to me

[foggy mirage]

I'll leave it at that

Not my weirdest king book

[tawny parcel]

Maybe it just wasnt the horror I’m into

[spiral quest]

It's not but it definitely did get weird

[tawny parcel]

There was a couple good scenes

[foggy mirage]

But that goes to pet sematary or revival

[limber urchin]

book was great, tim curry is great (mini series movies are not great), part 1 movie was great, part 2 movie was not great

[tawny parcel]

But it felt like commercial? Which I mean obviously its a major movie but like evne then

I dont know how to pin point it lol

Maybe i just wasnt paying attention because of the girl

[foggy mirage]

I have a figure of tim curry

As pennywise

[tawny parcel]

Maybe I’m just trying to grasp at straws and i just think its boring

[spiral quest]

I feel like I rarely see people say that only Tim Curry was great but that's kind the truth

[limber urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-home-alone-evil-smile-evil-grin-smile-gif-19223565

[spiral quest]

The tv movie was mostly bad

[foggy mirage]

When I picture pennywise its him tbh

[spiral quest]

Other than Tim Curry

[limber urchin]

tim curried carried that series. the actual series itself is mediocre

[foggy mirage]

Tim curry is like Kevin conroy

[spiral quest]

Reminded me of when Stephen King had a direct hand in that Shining redo that sucked

[tawny parcel]

And also doesn’t help i dont find clowns particularly scary, although I listened to this thing about kings novels and it had an interesting insight that the creatures in his books at least dont really matter

[foggy mirage]

And bill is robert pattison

[limber urchin]

Tim Curry's Pennywise is kind of scarier in a way because he is visually less designed and more generic clown

[tawny parcel]

Because its more about the written word and how the characters experience the fear rather then whats actually after them

[foggy mirage]

I wish they kept his fit silver and white tho

Like the book

I get why they made it multi color

Bur whatever

😭

Feels like complaining about Manga colors

[limber urchin]

i actually forgot how it was described in the books. it's hard to not get Tim Currie's visuals out of my head

[foggy mirage]

The outfit is spot on for curry

Its just some of the colors

Colors are closer to 2017

With slightly more color

[foggy mirage]

Iffy fan art for pennywise but these colors would be closer

[limber urchin]

oh is that book accurate?

IT ||The orange is kind of perfect||

[white smelt]

You kinda right

[foggy mirage]

He ain't

[limber urchin]

IT is good

I love all the outfits tho

Its just small gripes in the end

He's a fraud

It's literally on there

Smh

It's up to 100 things now so not everythings shown in that post but Bloodlust is in the center of the first image below Sleeping Beauty and above The Last Unicorn

[sand cypress]

Oh, indeed it is! I scanned for it specifically and didnt see it

[sage remnant]

Nah he's a fraud

we didn't make an error

(I had seen it before sending my message)

Man I don't understand why people prefer Perfect Blue to literally any of Satoshi Kon's movies

[sand cypress]

Perhaps I should watch some of those

[sage remnant]

Another fraud

Why are all my friends fraud

[near echo]

Because its his best

Millennium Actress is also a 10 and kinda acts as the flipside of its coin but I get a lot more out of subsequent watchings of Perfect Blue and it feels more relevant today than ever whereas Millennium Actress is so straightforward and earnest I've kinda gotten my fill of that movie

I like both more than Tokyo Godfathers and I'm not a big fan of Paprika which felt more like a vehicle for experimental transition effects and crazy setpieces than a coherent story

Also #other-series

[outer tulip]

Does anyone know the website where you can track movie production's timeline and all the various stages. Like when an actor was added, when someone signed on as producer, etc?

[modern lichen]

No

A lot of productions keep those kinda things under wraps

We know basically when actors are cast and most of the production cycles through sparse news reports

[frank rivet]

@foggy mirage it's going to be peak

[foggy mirage]

They gonna keep trailers for this one hidden till June I feel

[limber urchin]

As of the other day I own Bloodlust and the OG Vampire Hunter D (it finally released physically).

[sage remnant]

now buy the books and read them

[limber urchin]

I've read and own the first book. Demon Deathchase I'd also like to read. The worldbuilding is something I really love in these books.

there's more movies but i dont remember them well enough to rate

[sage remnant]

I should too

I'll probably only have movies I watched last few years

[tawny parcel]

the akira movie 5 stars./...

I think rn I would rate them very low

but the last time I watched them, they were around that

[tawny parcel]

no country for old men same as 2008 hulk

[sage remnant]

2 fast 2 furious at four and half????

its my fav of the fast and furious movies

[sage remnant]

damn

It's my least fav

[jolly heath]

i love all the cool cars in it

[sage remnant]

true true

but like

It's barely a movie

It doesn't even try to be a movie

[jolly heath]

im kinda rating it based on the last time i watched it which was probably like 10+ years ago

[sage remnant]

fair fair

I rewatched them this year

[jolly heath]

yeah i did not like it

[sage remnant]

didn't like tokyo drift. it used to be my fav

[near echo]

Judging u a little for 4 stars on bohemian rhapsody

i like the elvis movie more though

Mostly bitched and then started doing chores loudly during it

Couldn't immerse in the ride

do u not like fight club goro

[sage remnant]

I am a fight club hater through and through

It was a snoozefest every time I tried it

[tawny parcel]

unfortunate

you will not like the book I just picked up

[jolly heath]

Actually should probably lower a lot of it i just realised 4 stars is equivalent to 8/10

[sage remnant]

righttt
4/5 and 8/10 is same measure but sound so dififerent in your head when you try to rate it

[jolly heath]

Yeah

[pearl quest]

Nice top 4

[copper phoenix]

certified goro take

[modern lichen]

Fight Club is kinda mediocre

[main lion]

Its pretty cool

Although I havent watched it since 2009

[modern lichen]

Not even in the top 5 fincher films

My fincher ranking:

1. Zodiac
2. The Social Network
3. Se7en
4. Gone Girl
5. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
6. Fight Club
7. The Game
8. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
9. The Killer
10. Mank
11. Panic Room
12. Alien 3

Social network above seven

Hmm

I won't say it's outrageous but a hot take fs

[raw gate]

Se7en is the besh imo

[limber urchin]

[burnt lake]

[limber urchin]

I'm near the end of the video and Jay got my tearing up. He mentions a story about a healthcare worker at the height of Covid in 2020 who was ready to, well, end it all due to the horrors of that time period. But on her way to find a place to jump, she stopped in a bookstore and just picked up whatever random book was on the shelf. It just so happened to be Empire of the Vampire which led to her getting the help she needed.

[frank rivet]

idk why social network is so popular

But above se7en is criminal

[modern lichen]

What do you mean lmfao

Because it’s good?

[frank rivet]

It's good

[modern lichen]

I don’t think it’s criminal

[frank rivet]

Above fight club too

Oh my Days 😭

[modern lichen]

Yeah Fight Club is not that good

It’s ok

[tawny parcel]

The social network is such a tight film

[modern lichen]

Hits the ground running from the very first scene and doesn’t let go

Features one of the greatest scores ever

Hard hitting and effective dialogue from Sorkin and appropriately adapted into motion by Fincher

It’s just a confluence of so many things coming together

that's dedication

Interest

Passion

It’s the same with books or comics or manga

I like reading

I like stories

[limber urchin]

time to write your own. hell, i've written two myself

[modern lichen]

I write stories

Several shorts in fact

[limber urchin]

fuck yeah, it's so fun

good creative outlet to balance my actual job

[modern lichen]

To become a good writer, you’ve gotta read as much as possible

Anything you can get your hands on

For starters

[limber urchin]

That's the main reason I've been reading more. Sure, I've read in the past, but it gets annoying when most of my writing feels inspired by games or film (granted what I write are narratives for games, but still you should seek other inspiration).

but now i want to tackle a stand alone novel, and embrace how crappy it's going to be

Go for it

It’s hard and just extremely time consuming

Been a really weird week for the ASOIAF with A.I.

Not only was George's lawsuit allowed to move forward but the Feast for Crows book may have used A.I. pictures in it AND just last night Redditor CautionersTale/Bfish got ripped apart for using grok to finish the Asha fragment

Disgraceful 🤡

QRT: westerosies
Fans of George R.R. Martin’s ‘A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE’ are speculating that the newly released illustrated edition of the fourth novel, ‘A FEAST FOR CROWS,’ features artwork created with AI by artist Jeffrey R. McDonald.

Martin has been a vocal critic of AI in creative fields, recently winning a major court ruling that allows authors to sue OpenAI for copyright infringement after the company used their works, including Martin’s, to train its AI models.

[worthy crypt]

lol so funny that he paints it like hes used a tool to uncover the secrets, like the objective truth of the battle of ice was just waiting there for us if only we had the computational power to find it

but itll probably be the only version of the battle of ice to ever exist so who can blame em tbh no one would be doing this if you just released it yourself george, its been 13 years

[limber urchin]

kill me

AI book covers, kill me

[worthy crypt]

the trend is probably towards increasing popularity of use, might as well get used to it now

[limber urchin]

i will die on my hill of hatred

[worthy crypt]

i got a lot of life left to go i gotta just go with the flow, i dont wanna be full of hatred for like 50 years

[limber urchin]

remember: i'm a professional concept artist with friends who make book covers. so, it's a little personal for me. i have an invested reason financially to be angry

[worthy crypt]

my area also has AI encroaching on jobs. But I cant change that so Im learning to use it to hopefully continue outrunning the layoff bear

[limber urchin]

haha so am i, but i'm more confident that I would simply be replaced in totality

[spiral quest]

I mean, if it comes down to it where AI is just gonna be more and more common

There are so many books

Id rather just read a not talked about fantasy series from the 90s than get on some new trend

[limber urchin]

i hope the books themselves do not become AI. but yeah I have thousand upon thousands of options pre 2025 haha

[spiral quest]

Exactly

[worthy crypt]

Im with yall that i dont particularly love this trend but what i want doesnt really matter yknow. I can either rail against how things are or just get used to it and get over it

[spiral quest]

The wealth of media pre AI is there, I am not worried about running out and new things that come from AI I am not interested in, so FOMO doesn't apply

I mean it's not about railing against anything for me

It's I don't want to participate in AI slop

So I am not gonna

Sure there are things I can't avoid

But media is not one of them

[limber urchin]

and if i lose my career i can always at least find happiness in personal work and going back to traditional media like oils

[spiral quest]

I hope the best for you Buffy

Genuinely

I hope the AI bubble bursts so hard in on itself and you make a ton of money

[worthy crypt]

the bubble will burst but itll be like the dot com bubble where it wont go away completely and itll still be a growing trend over time

[spiral quest]

And that's fine

me too haha, i'm still needed thankfully. for now...

im trying to get enough to retire before it really comes for my area in force

I've had that conversation with myself before where I was like, "how much money would it take for me to lose touch with reality?"

[worthy crypt]

my goal has always been to stop working. id never get absurdly wealthy cause id stop as soon as i have enough to retire on

oh i guess i'm the opposite. i want to work til i die. but my work is art, so that's a bit unfair.

my eye sockets

[foggy mirage]

Lmao

Won't be that level of hard on the eyes

[frank rivet]

[foggy mirage]

They need to not let this out of dan's hands

[frank rivet]

i wonder what the return needs to be

[frank rivet]

Prey was moderately budgeted

[foggy mirage]

Atleast he knows 2018 was dogshit

😭

[foggy mirage]

Good budgeting and some decent legs we good

[frank rivet]

was the 2018 one with the peele from key and peele

[foggy mirage]

Yes lmao

😭

It was ass

[frank rivet]

.....oh ya -_-

that shit was ass

sorry it was michael key

[foggy mirage]

It wasn't very good

Like at all

Also it broke lore

[frank rivet]

i had such high hopes for tha tmovie too...

[foggy mirage]

I dint the trailers looked ass

Vs the ones for this looked good

😭

[frank rivet]

ya trailer was ass but during initial promos

i loved the predator design in that movie

[foggy mirage]

How you gonna make an r rated predator movie

Worse

This one is pg-13 and its way better

😭

They dont skimp on gore btw

But Shane can fuck off

I don't want him anywhere near the franchise

[copper phoenix]

they're making a stranger things animated series taking place between s2 and s3 lmao

can't even bother to make a spin off with a new cast or something

holy milking

crazy how it was supposed to be an anthology series

[worthy crypt]

i haent watched that in a long time. like maybe s2. did it stay good? I think i hit something that felt like it could been an ending and just decided tostop

[copper phoenix]

ofc not

it was slopified

netflix shows either get cancelled or turn into 6 season slop

can't have shit

[sand cypress]

I will not be watching

[worthy crypt]

thats what i figured was gonna happen so it seemed better to just decide ok this is my ending

[limber urchin]

I couldn't continue after season 2, even that season left me feeling hollow

[white smelt]

It’s funny that they’re still doing the whole 80s nostalgia bait with the kids on their bikes but it’s less charming now that they’re in their 20s

[copper phoenix]

dont worry they got you covered with the animated series just deaging them

[leaden depot]

Just watched a funny Czech comedy film, went to look at the director and holy fuck

[wanton epoch]

Applejack

[white smelt]

What about you?

[wanton epoch]

[modern lichen]

Milos Forman MY GOAT

[leaden depot]

That movie was sooo mean lmao

Nothing went right 😭

[modern lichen]

Amadeus as well is hilarious

This guy knows his comedy

[leaden depot]

Amadeus is fucking amazing

What a top 3 tho, sheesh

[modern lichen]

I don’t like Man on the Moon

It’s pretty mediocre compared to the rest of his films and I can’t stand Jim Carrey’s posturing even though his performance is good in the film

[leaden depot]

Oh I have heard about the terrors behind the scenes

Method actors

[modern lichen]

Daniel Day Lewis is the type of method you wanna go because he still is courteous and collaborative even when he disappears into the character, it just affects the way he speaks and mannerisms and there’s no weird behavior

Leto and Carrey are the worst types

[south hatch]

Carrey is complete nuts

Leo emulates what DDL does too imo and it s a good method actor same for C bale

It was a eventful 2-3 weeks for me, I got to watch Loki s1, s2, started Daredevil, watched gen v s2, alien earth, started agatha all along too.

[proper crown]

what

[leaden depot]

Carrey was insufferable to the whole crew

Because he kept in character the whole time

[mild seal]

they made a documentary from so much of the behind the scenes footage

[leaden depot]

Yeah lol

[sage remnant]

[sage remnant]

there was a whole thing with Devin the AI software coder thingy that when you threaten it or like threaten it's family (lol) then it did work better

@jolly heath
Now I give thee the power to bully me

(Only adding stuff I watched/rewatched in last 7 years)

[jolly heath]

i dont really have anything to bully about im not a big movie guy so there's nothing i see thats questionable or weird

[sage remnant]

😔

Now I feel bad

[jolly heath]

i dont mind dont worry about it

[sage remnant]

(I also am not a big movie guy and didn't make much fun of yours other than usual fight club comment)

[leaden depot]

10 movies left before I'm done with 1967

[modern lichen]

Pluribus pilot was excellent

Can’t wait for more

[valid thunder]

Thats the vince gilligan show ?

[sage remnant]

Yes

Continuing with Way Station. The scifi concepts it explores aren't really new for current age, but the phrasings and scientific understanding by which it is done is so so cool

[sage remnant]

Way Station ||

"With creation went responsibility and he was not equipped to assume more than the moral responsibility for the wrong that he had done, and moral responsibility, unless it might be coupled with the ability to bring about some mitigation, was an entirely useless thing." ||

[pearl quest]

It's out?

Niceee

How many eps are we getting for the season

[lean tide]

Anything but winds of winter bro

[modern lichen]

Nothing

[sage remnant]

What's that supposed to mean?
That lawsuit is good approach by them.
And the cover isn't on him

[lean tide]

Isa joke

[sage remnant]

A bad faith and profoundly stupid joke

[lean tide]

wow Mr hard ass here

[modern lichen]

It’s gonna be out soon I trust George with all my heart he won’t break my heart and disappoint me because he loves me

[frank rivet]

Wtf I didn't know this was out yet

[lean tide]

I’m like 90% sure it’ll come out

My biggest problem is that I don’t think springs will

[modern lichen]

Yeah I have given up on Dream as well

[lean tide]

I’m most excited for Jon in the next book

As well as tyrion

[near echo]

Gotta watch Son next it's one of the funniest movies ever made

[leaden depot]

In the previous movie the goofy was already taking fully over

https://tenor.com/view/godzilla-happy-jump-gif-14044854

[near echo]

This and goofy movie are the ideal Struggling Single Dad movies

I should swing back to my Godzilla run I was working through Heisei

I stopped to see if criterion would be cool and collect all of em but I think they only wanted Biollante lol

[near echo]

Half considering getting YouTube Premium at this point just to avoid ads on my tv

[sage remnant]

So true

[near echo]

Keep getting jumpscared by Uma Musume in the middle of 1940s black and white animations, instantly pulls me out of the films

Tired of these horse girls man

[foggy mirage]

11/22/63/ IT ||it's just a reference in there to larger king verse connected by books. Not the last time it happens.||

Dreamcatcher spoilers and a bit of IT || since it takes place after IT, you have the losers making a memorial for all those killed by Pennywise and then this last message thats haunted fans.||
