Proud of you and glad you’re safe! (Next time, hold out for an Oxford comma!) 🤭

It’s okay. You’ve made much, much worse things.

I think “to the best of my ability” is the key phrase, here.

Sadly not, though they’re right about the communal experience in the general sense. I do miss it a lot; it’s just not the quick fix they think it is.

Ha, I should have read your link first. Literally includes a photo of the water effect, much simpler than I was imagining. 😆

Not sure what the aha! moment was. Maybe in order to boost the water flow for comedic effect, there was a pump system to gush water up from the bottom of the opening, which retracted before the final turn to reveal Willis and Streep through the opening?

Hawn’s lighting and edge have the hints of a blue-screen shot, which the shoulders and body don’t have. And her hair moves awkwardly on the screen-right shoulder during the turn, consistent with the “morphing” ILM was doing in the ’90s (see Willow).

Not that you asked, but I couldn’t stop puzzling on this. My money’s on the first idea: Hawn’s head match-moved onto an articulated dummy with a hole in it.

But I have a feeling if it were that straightforward it wouldn’t have taken decades for the aha! moment. Maybe more of an Exorcist type of rig to push water out of an appliance Hawn could wear? 🤔

The arm movements right at the end definitely suggest mannequin. And they certainly match-moved heads onto bodies in other shots.

I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, but if the cover gives me a splitting headache I have to admit it’s a factor.

Yeah! It’s “she got castinged,” right? Costumed by the costume department, castinged by the casting department.

Having gotten exactly what they wanted, the violent extremists:
A) set aside their violence and extremism, satisfied that they’d served their purpose
B) redoubled their violence and extremism, delighted at how quickly and easily they get the job done

But yet also if a group of people has t-shirts made and packs zip-ties and scales walls with smashed barricades they’re on a “guided public tour”—nothing nefarious about it!

Always wondered???
It’s not like he hasn’t already told us this a thousand times, explicitly and implicitly, but this man DOES NOT read books.

Yes! Take the highly effective Willow’s Box ad and extend it to an hour of conversations and stories from real people.

I’d steal that printer. One of the last few good ones HP made.

The initials would drive me crazy! Hell’s bells, people, just run a find-replace before you post. It’s impossible to run out of fake names! My favorite thing was to quote some part like “Then, D and N got in the car while C and I walked back to the house,” and be like “Wait! Who the hell is I?!?!!”

This is the one place where AI could be useful. Train a voice synthesizer on the entire catalog of Kitboga videos, and press a button to send the spammer to 14 hours of chatting with a pretend little old lady.

It’s a well-known fact that the Deep State has a time portal just large enough to throw film scripts into. #obviously

I’m also interested in when the tech notices, too late, after the decomposition is mostly complete, that the subject has a replacement hip made of a specific surgical alloy the reconstitution chamber doesn’t have the molecules for.

I like this kind of stuff because it lets me know which businesses to avoid.
Pretty amazed they got the proper then/than. That’s rare to see in MAGAland.

I don’t know whether this is a joke about time travel, or about every service switching to unreliable AI-generated output, and that’s what makes it so good.

And it’s almost too horrible to mention, but if I were a young woman in Texas’s forced-birth climate, I’d want contraception on board just in case of rape. (And the unthinkable fact is that for some, the most likely rapist is the same guy Texas just put in charge of her medical decisions.)

This was a severely disappointing article, focusing on Boeing’s stock woes well before getting around to the tragic loss of life. But hey, at least we found out what color shirt he wore on Netflix!

Not to mention the myriad reasons a completely abstinent young woman with no plans for sexual activity might want to start this medication, on advice from her doctor.

Yeah, these folks really never understood that the 📎 game was meant as a grim satire.

Right?! A whole lotta leeway for speculative narration. And, all I know about the U.S. system is from David E. Kelley shows, but “What do you think he was thinking?” is the kind of question I’d expect to be met with MANY objections.

And even if individual people “conquered” their biases and reached some perfect color-blind utopia (a big IF, but good for them if they did), the systemic biases (economic, judicial, etc., etc.) still await dismantling. In no way is that done; it’s barely even started.
