This article is unbearable, and might finally be the tipping point for me to leave this site. AI art is a tool. Saying it spits on “real animators” is short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times, like anyone saying that Photoshop, filters, or digital animation weren’t doing “real art.”

The article is just drenched in outrage. This is on par with the kind of burn-it-all-down writing you find in response to a tweet about how maybe a 25% tip for take-out is a bit much.

Yeah, this one surprised me. Hook is magical. It’s not aiming to be high cinema, and it doesn’t achieve that. But it is a wonderful kids’ movie that is not physically painful for adults to sit through. If you were young when it came out, you most likely loved it and still have a lot of nostalgic warmth for it. And…

Wait people didn’t like Hook? I’m 31 so sometimes I’m surprised by the cultural conversation surrounding things that were released when I was a kid but my gosh I have so much Hook nostalgia. RUFIO RUFIO!

“There you are Peter” *stretches smile on Robin Williams face*

It’s a friggin classic.

I always thought Vision had more in common with Red Tornado. And Superman seemed like a direct inspiration for Sentry and Hyperion as opposed to Cap.

The only gripe I have is WHERE IS THE RUMBLE?!? like why is that always excluded in 3rd party controllers? the weird off brand ebay controllers have rumble (some even have HD rumble) why is it that the actual quality manufacturers don’t??? like I don’t care about NFC/amiibo support but rumble is a big loss on this…

Yep! Yep! Yep... the last three mainly b&w episodes read as just one really big, dope epilouge. Fuck the commercials. They really ruin the pacing. (Even skipping them breaks the immersion). 

I saw this on reddit earlier. Apparently they did it earlier today too with another design. My guess is that they have one designer in their ranks that is plagiarizing, and nobody has the forethought to run Google Lens or comparable on the design to see if it’s copying anything.

The other way to interpret it is that kids are just natural energy vampires 

It hasn’t been explicitly said but I definitely think that’s what’s happening. 

Anoop Desai is wonderful as the Djinn.

Did I miss it or did someone point out that young Colin is being a tedious dick because he’s still - I assume - an energy vampire and he’s practicing his innate skill of tiresomeness.

Looks like I can add this to my collection of overly ambitious, self-defeatingly complicated series I loved. I'll set it right next to Carnivale.

I feel like I’m going crazy. Biden can’t even get popular changes passed in his own country, but Jez somehow thinks that my dude can just waltz into a country you guys are in a proxy war with and “use his powers” to bust her out of prison?

I wish Jezebel would interview, like, a single person who knows about foreign policy and prisoner exchanges to try and understand what and if the government is doing and how these things work.

I don’t understand why so many seem to view Howard as a dick.

Don’t mind me, I’m just rolling around in all this sweet, sweet money I get for negging on NFTs, paid by... paid by... um... you know... the anti-NFT lobby!

Finally! Maybe now these tulip bulbs’ll really take off.

Chris Rock had it coming. What’s next, asking a cancer patient if they’re going to audition for the part of Jean-Luc Picard? Pain isn’t funny.
