“Fans have speculated the “crash” mentioned is referring to West’s 2002 near-fatal car crash after the release of Jay-Z’s album The Blueprint, which Ye co-produced.”

Agreed, although I don’t know if somehow being Armenian doesn’t count as white, because Kim is literally Caucasian.

Glad they fixed her brain damage!

I’da called it They Came For Us!

I wonder if Clemmy is a Motörhead fan

Another example of perverse incentives in American policing

The statue is a depiction of Jesus rising from the crater of a nuclear bomb blast.

Are you coming out against adopting children?

Good point - I think there’s an additional layer of it not being totally clear what constitutes apology and restitution for public figures. There seems to be a necessarily performative and abstract aspect to the public apology, because it’s not clear that the public has a hand in someone making restitution when their…

That’s fair. What made me think of this was seeing some shots of the live action Cowboy Bebop looking plodding compared with the anime, so I’m privileging certain animes that I think of as really being able to capture motion well. I think a lot of martial arts movies have the right idea in live action (I tend to think…

Do you have a frame of anime that you feel depicts empathy well?

Yeah, artificial. I think a strongly defined visual sense is generally a strength, but the particular sense just didn’t happen to work for me. I did enjoy Spiderman 2 quite a bit (haven’t seen it in forever), and I could respect all of what Spiderman 1 did. I’ll give the 3rd one credit for at least going for it.

In a strictly visual sense, I sort of do mean that - I often find Raimi’s visual sense to have a quality that makes it look like theater or perhaps green screen. I’m not sure if it’s the shots he uses or what. It’s cool, and I think actually can lend a certain charm of looking like you’re watching action figures, but…

My post has some question-begging, so I’ll try and unpack more.

I’m saying “you did well”.

Meanwhile, my company, RU486 Productions, is being shut out of the Hollywood system by nefarious forces...

I feel like Spiderman’s native aesthetic is close to anime (or animation in general), in the sense that he has such a sense of movement that live action versions feel plodding. The Sam Raimi movies feel too heavy to do the character justice, and they also don’t capture the playfulness of the character very well - They…

You did well in earning your reply from me

This is, to my memory, the absolute dumbest take I’ve ever seen on this constellation of websites. It is a poem - a pure distillation of stupidity. It contains so many fallacies, both explicitly and implicitly, that I only wish I could ever hope to provide such a density of information in one comment - Such a thing…
