@agraphafx @moonwatcher1 @StarWarsDaily_ @ILMVFX Yes. That’s pretty considerable detail for a model only 3 feet long.

@BcnAnimation @moonwatcher1 @StarWarsDaily_ @ILMVFX And how about the detail in the landing bay!

How long have you been a Star Wars fan?

@moonwatcher1 @agraphafx @StarWarsDaily_ @ILMVFX I still can’t believe they got that shot using only the three-foot long Star Destroyer model.

Since March of 1977. When I was the first person that didn't WORK on Star Wars to SEE it, at @ILMVFX, in Van Nuys, California, when John Dykstra screened ILM's copy of the working cut, complete with NO music, NO sound effects, TONS of WW2 aerial dogfight footage and entire sequences from "633 Squadron" and "Dam Busters" standing in for the Battle of Yavin sequence, and a great many of the blue-screen shots not yet composited! The first thing that appeared on the screen was this...

@FightWithMemes Me to guy wearing ATF hat: “ATF…what’s that stand for?” ATF Guy: “Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.” Me: “Cool! So what else do you sell?”

Is there any Federal agency more obviously illegal than the ATF?

@M3S0soic This scene was shot by effects cameraman, Max Fabian.

In Forbidden Planet even landing is an event. Take your time gentlemen. Nominated for an Oscar but sadly The Ten Commandments was the opponent that year.

@HarrySword A scraper.

dental records.

@ohhanxiety I just say, “For future reference, don’t clean out the fireplace while wearing your wedding dress.”

It's 3am, and you see this How do you react

@QiD5x @resign831 I met a woman who had been married and divorced 7 times and she was far from a beauty, stunning or otherwise. If her story is true, there is clearly no shortage of people willing to marry anyone at anytime for any reason. She told me she just didn’t put in any work at marriage.

@forallcurious I never realized that the old LOST IN SPACE series which ran from 1965-1968 would predict the future.

🚨: Engineers just proposed a 36 mile long spacecraft called 'Chrysalis' that could carry 2400 people to Alpha Centauri, just 4 light-years away from us, on one way trip. The journey will take 400 years! The passengers who board it will never see Earth again. Neither will their children. Or their grandchildren.

@jaegermedia1 BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT yes. I tried watching INCEPTION again, and even though I loved it in the theater, I fell asleep watching it on TV. I like parts of INTERSTELLAR but it’s another one that seems to go on forever. I never even really understood TENET.

Christopher Nolan has mastered the art of making his films appear to be deep at first glance, but on the second watch revealing just how superficial and pretentious they really are. Has anyone actually been able to enjoy a movie of his on the second viewing?

@MarieleRedclaw @GigaBasedDad It’s the only way to be sure.

@GigaBasedDad the pretty pictures I would've gone back to the ship and nuked the site from orbit

Why did the movie Avatar make so much money? I still don't get it... the movie was incredibly mid...

@XothikaVT Okay…how about if I switch to Lightwave or Renderman renders instead?

HOT TAKE: Stop using blender renders as the final product image for avatar assets and or avatars. Thank you. 🙂

@medoliyy It only illuminates objects with reflective qualities. Go outside at night and shine a flashlight on anything with a reflective surface and you’ll see something. Shine it into an area with few to no reflective qualities like onto the ocean from an ocean liner. Nothing reflects.

@horrormuseum @Elcucuyfeo In the Sandy Duncan episode, they see Kong on the Empire State Building but it’s a set for the movie and Kong is a regular-sized guy in an ape suit. It’s also a very brief scene. I haven’t seen that episode since the 1970s so it is possible they cut it out since then

@Elcucuyfeo Nope. In the Sandy Duncan mysteries episode, shaggy even mentions that they met King Kong, but the footage was cut.

For some reason King Kong was cut out of the New Scooby-Doo Adventures, and the footage is apparently lost. People estimate it's probably either a copyright infringement or they felt it was too scary to have a real monster, at a time when all the monsters were humans in masks.

@Kristinartz Dress like you think a 66 year-old woman should dress like so as to be a good example.

My neighbor is 66, but she still dresses and acts like she's much younger. What do you think I should do?

@TheStingisBack Thanks for this post. I had no idea.

Most people never notice that Pat Roach (born OTD in 1937) plays four different characters across the original Indiana Jones trilogy. Yes, four. This is one of the wildest “one actor, multiple iconic deaths” stories in movie history. A Sting Original Cut

@kitten_beloved @PaulAnleitner Vinyl is everywhere these days…and ridiculously overpriced as well. I guess it could be worse. They could bring back 8-track tapes, which were the most diabolical media ever invented.

@BcnAnimation @PaulAnleitner They are going strong in the same sense that vinyl is going strong

If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster. And we should. While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable: The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together. That experience was special.

@HorrorPaperback I also think that Moustapha Akkad guy wanted to continue the Michael Myers storyline, despite Carpenter not really wanting to. Akkad might have gone to court over it but I’m not sure.

John Carpenter and Debra Hill originally wanted each Halloween movie in the series to feature a different variety of horror, rather than the Michael Myers franchise we received. Halloween III: Season of the Witch was an attempt to return to that original plan. Unfortunately the movie underperformed at the box office (it made a decent profit but clearly not enough to satisfy the studio) and consequently the series pivoted back to Michael Myers. Shame, really. It's a great horror movie and Carpenter and Hill's original concept is brilliant. #VHS #BeKindRewind #horrorcommunity

@kitten_beloved @PaulAnleitner Physical media is still alive and well. What died were the low-res, low-quality options like VHS and DVD. BluRay and 4K are going strong. I doubt a physical rental store would make it. Most people want convenience above anything else, which is understandable and Netflix provides

@PaulAnleitner Unfortunately the era of mass physical media is essentially dead and gone, it was a one-time phenomenon created by specific material conditions that can't be recreated by force of will At best you can bring back a hobbyist / nostalgia scene 1% as big, like with vinyl

@1ssve The 12 minutes with the kids seems a little high. More like 2 minutes.

A boomer’s perfect work day: - Show up to the office at 8am - 9 hours of Zoom calls with people working from home - 25 minute paid lunch break - Leave at 6:30pm and drive 1 hour home - Spend 12 minutes with your kids before they go to bed

@1ssve I knew a guy who filled out his evaluation like this; What are your goals? To make more money. How will you reach your goals? By working as little as possible. How will you know if your goal is achieved? By having enough money to leave this job as soon as possible.

I fucking DESPISE annual corporate self-review and goal setting. My goal is to get a paycheck every couple weeks
