Everything is FINE
the more I think about it, the more it makes sense that pirates of the caribbean 2 & 3 were the nails in the coffin for disney on any type of big budget, on location, practical effects movie that sent them spiralling into green screened warehouses, like the sheer audacity of these films
you listen to the commentaries on these movies and everyone's like "yeah this is never going to happen again" and they were right
ok these were all professional production stills but i wanted to add the following just to show how absolutely balls to the wall these movies were
you remember these shots
today it would be a no-brainer like "oh the background and the ships and the stupid clock is all green screened" but listen to me right now
i'm losing my mind
One of my favorite online cartoonists, Kate Beaton (of Hark! A Vagrant), had a cartoon of hers published in The New Yorker last week! I’m very thrilled for her, and thought I’d share it here too since it’s a pretty fantastic example of her work.
soju may taste like juice but theres no way the memes aren't ridiculously exaggerated. this bottles only 5 units it cant affect me that considerably
huh.

Wipe the slate clean. Maybe you’re not prepared to cancel something or maybe you’re happy to end something that was straining on you.
But be careful not to lapse into destructiveness and get rid of something you cherish.
I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know
I think...you might be right
what the fuck
what if
still sometimes think about how when my apartment got raided by cops back in 2021 i had a massive neon sign on the wall of my living room that just said "crime"
ik it's an old-ass joke but the ability of ppl on this site to Not Know Who They're Following. like it was on the news. not the local or even the national news . this was a global scale international diplomatic incident

The reason Mel Blanc’s famous Looney Tunes screams have that distinctive echo is because Warner Bros. was too cheap to set aside any of their recording booths for cartoon dialogue. Instead, they’d take a soundstage that was currently between productions, and in between clearing out the old sets and moving in the new ones, they’d park Mel Blanc in the middle of the empty building, hang a boom mic over his head, and have him spend a day recording as much voice material as would fit on whatever leftover odds and ends of filmstock they had lying around.
I want you to picture that vast, empty, mostly darkened space, with a single point of light right in the middle of it, and in that point of light is this unassuming-looking little guy emitting a series of howling Daffy Duck screams.
I do so love that he does not spill a single drop.
