Burial has music sex with Wagon Christ = Proc Fiskal.  Beautiful.

I love when a designer gets hold of a simple plug-in and thinks, “I’m gonna do some elegantly insane shit with this!”

That is Deee-Lite-ful!

So smooth, and totally new to me.  Thanks for this.

Sure, self-promotion isn’t cool, but here’s the best electronic music I *made* (so far) this year:

Cool. I was aware of the story of the Kelly Gang, but not “The Story of the Kelly Gang” despite my film schoolin’s.  And yes, big points for non-racist landmark achievements!

I’m a huge fan of New Zealand’s defence of children from their asshole parents, called the “Births, Deaths, Marriages and Relationships Registration Act”, which allows them to say “fuck no!” to (I swear to you) “Anal”, “4Real”, “Mafia No Fear”, anything related to royalty, and one would fucking hope, “Abcde”.

Dammit, the pagination broke up my olde timey sadface, and now I’m even more maladjusted.

Hey! I’m a gifted burnout, and we don’t *all* spread racist irony to the world. :(

And the number of the cereals shall be five, no more, no less. Five shall be the number thou shalt list, and the number of the cereals shall be five. Six shalt thou not list, neither list thou four, excepting that thou then proceed to five. Seven is right out.

Campaign management as an “industry” is at the heart of so many ills...

Looks like they searched “lazer” on Pond5, grabbed the 3 cheapest shots, then stacked and re-stacked ‘em in AE like some kind of ungodly SFX version of Arby’s Meat Mountain.

Absolutely. Any day now. I mean, consider all the advantages today’s brainless but motivated/entitled Serious Filmmakers(TM) enjoy, while Wood lumbered around in the day-for-night dark: Gear that enables gorgeous photography and effects on even shoestring budgets; social media tools to assemble talent and crew —…

One reason stuff like this gets SO bad, is very little is left on the floor. “We worked hard on all these shots, so let’s use every frame!”

While we’re sciencing, why the jeebus are those solar panels GLOWING (i.e. emitting, rather than, say, gathering light)?

Looked to me like a case of not getting the shots they needed on the day, and reasoning that flipping and re-matting the single laser vfx shot a dozen times (“laser blasts all over the place!”) would be enough to liven-up a few frames of “Dawn” wandering back to his chair between takes.

But he’d have to decide on what exercise was “best,” wouldn’t be able to do it, and have to do *everything*. To the fullest.

I challenge anyone to find 5 sitcom Thanksgiving episodes where anyone involved has ANY IDEA how long things take to cook.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Details like the sports hero character names really pulled it up some. And effectsy tropes are well executed and story-based, not seemingly pulled from a checklist. And yes, Toks Olagundoye is an amazing standout in a laudable ensemble. I so want to see (not just hear) her in more things, I’m…

I love that show so much. Bizarre, yes, and also very clever. When it showed up, 13-year-old me really felt I’d levelled-up on comedy sophistication.
