So, my wife was also a size six at that time. She did, and still does, have some pretty significant body-image issues. Blame ballet, a kind of shitty father, society, whomever.

Indeed! It’s one of the more sought after “lost” films in recent memory. Reports vary, but the general consensus is that around ten minutes was cut, both for time, and content, which was deemed too graphic in nature. Reportedly, then Disney Chairperson Jeffrey Katzenberg even went so far as to enter the editing room…

Fox’s Titan AE (2000) along with Disney’s Atlantis (2001) and Treasure Planet (2002) have all been kinda forgotten by the mainstream. Which is sad, because it was a period when the studios were actually trying to push more mature sci-fi stories using then-cutting edge animation.

My son (now 22) was at just the right age to watch this on DVD and along with Atlantis, he (meaning we) watched it over and over and over again. Treasure Planet grows on you. Maybe it’s Stockholm Syndrome, idk, but the Silver cyber/minotaur design and vocal performance is pretty good. I liked how he pronounced “Morph”…

Since Lloyd Alexander’s The Chronicles of Prydain are some of my favorite (and imo best) YA fantasy novels out there, and clearly inspired much of Star Wars amongst others — I hated that The Black Cauldron flopped, but also that they did a piss-poor adaptation of it...

we wondered whether Disney could attract audiences to an animated film that wasn’t a musical or a sequel. Now we know the answer—a resounding nope.

The NES was my older sister’s console. I was always the ducks.

Speaking of the manual, from the same NES cartridge, what *is* in the manual but few noticed... Duck Hunt was a 2-player game! The second controller could move the ducks around.

Apparently not! Tons of comments on that TikTok talking about all the years wasted. One brought up a good point, too: You would think a trick like this would be in the manual, but it’s not! 

Passengers sucked, but its problems weren’t the result of being a sci-fi film. It was:

I have been utterly despised by both my teammates and opponents for the last 6 years...so yeah...it’s been controversial.

Someone set me straight if I’m off, but aren’t these colors still just RGB values like every color? Like, if I look up Pantone 17-3938 Very Peri (the 2022 “Color of the Year”, which is apparently a thing Pantone does) on their website, it (comically) blurs the RGB values. But a simple screenshot and MS Paint tells me…

Back in the day, at the height of the Beanie Baby craze, McDonald’s had mini-Beanie Babies (“Teanie Babies,” I want to say?) and it essentially caused a huge crisis everywhere there was a McDonald’s, with lines a mile long in the street in many cities, people getting the Happy Meals and throwing the food* into the…

Movie Snape (and Rickman’s being amazing) almost retconned the book character from scumbag to anti hero in people’s minds I feel like.

I didn’t want to be the first to mention it...

What has surprised me most about this leak is the number of fanboys who’ve seen the leaked footage, replete with placeholder models, temporary animation, and visible code superimposed on top of the gameplay and gone “WTF, Rockstar?! This doesn’t look like a finished game! What a clown show!”

“You don’t issue DMCA takedowns of videos that aren’t your property.” I wish this was true. Sadly, there are still stupid people out there willing to get themselves in trouble for a bit of revenge. Rockstar’s probably in the clear, however.

This is just......I can’t believe it. This studio had the gaming world in love with it and all of their competitors hopelessly envious. Morhaime and Metzen and some of their contemporaries have always seemed like very good dudes with their hearts and heads in the right place but the guys they trusted with what they…

Ooo...that picture nails some people to the wall.

y’know when i said Greg Street shouldn’t be talking considering where he ended up
