Shit, I bet those image techs will make a killing then, and still cost less than a normal production.

They already use photoshop to eliminate bad fit! FFS who decided we needed even more of it?!?

I’m so fucking confused by this. What exactly is the point of a CGI model? Wouldn’t someone still have to be wearing the clothes in photographs to get the correct base shapes to begin with? Or is literally the entire image (models+clothes) constructed?

I have a degree in Film Studies, so as far as I’m concerned getting into meaningless, over the top fights about awards season candidates is basically the meaning of life itself.

Bobby, I fully support your completely valid Chazelle take.

The fucking tree goblin terrified the shit out of me as a child. The illustration of it is 100% what I think of whenever anyone talks about aliens.

That one about the woman in North Cincinnati whose neighbor cut a hole in the wall to her apartment—for the first time ever, I didn’t read all the posts. I read that one and just went okay no more of this because it terrified me that much.

I honest-to-god thought this was going to be about the rapper (?) when I first saw the name. 

Honestly I’d never heard of Chris Kraus until I read this article. So I find the fact that all of this is getting overblown like she’s, idk, JK Rowling or Audre Lorde or someone actually widely-read and recognized, to be the funniest part of the entire matter.

lol @ “if you are a woman who thinks your own subjectivity/interiority/heterosexuality can be made into narrative Art it’s most likely because of her”

I grew up 15 minutes away from where Neil Armstrong grew up. I think I can say with authority that you are absolutely right and Ryan Gosling does not sound like he’s from Northwest Ohio.

The only video of Cohen on a plane I could possibly ever care about would be evidence that he flew to Prague and attended that meeting with the Russians (and hackers? god, fall of 2016 was such a long time ago). Otherwise...meh. Wake me up when we start the impeachment hearings. 

also FYI I feel like now is the relevant time to tell you that I have stigmata scars on my feet from when I was 15. They’re faded as shit now, but they were very dark while I was in high school and thus was known for a length of time as the haver of ‘Jesus feet’, to the extent that when my AP art history teacher had…

I want you to know that I TURNED MY COMPUTER SIDEWAYS just to read this.

One of the interesting commentaries on Awkwafina’s role in Ocean’s Eight (written, IIRC, by Elaine Liu), was that it was an opportunity to showcase Asian-Americans as something other than their stereotypical role of the ‘model minority’ variety of smart, over-achievers. I hadn’t thought about whether or not it would…

I’ve found it kind of irritating that everyone seems to have forgotten about this, and goes on and on about the public aspect of the divorce—my parents had a long, nasty divorce, which stemmed from an incident wherein my father became violent and ended up arrested. I was seven, and called the police myself.

OH MY GOD THAT SHOW IS BATSHIT

I’ve been watching Wynnona Earp which is niche but also a #mood.

PLEASE LET THAT FINAL TRACK BE “DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW?”

Bobby, that illustration made my day.
