This is based on a comic about a barbarian who has an axe that talks to him. I think Patrick Stewart is doing the voice

I can't stand all these comparisons. Every person's TV/monitor is calibrated differently
Tim Soret@timsoret

Educative minute: Film twitter, please know that all these "amateur 35mm scans" comparison are deceptive. 1. Films are made of atoms (nitrate, acetate, polyester), and unlike digital data, they are vulnerable to entropy like everything else. 2. For the same movie, not all theatrical projection prints were made with the same process. Most were poor quality with short shelf-life (6 years according to Martin Scorsese). 3. Dye compounds are unstable, decaying at different rates over time, their colors degrading, fading & shifting. Notice how most of these "35mm scans" are bluish & faded, with contrast added in post after scanning. 4. Even if you had a perfectly manufactured, flawlessly stored & maintained, and masterfully scanned film, digitalization remains an interpretation process. A projected film is pure light, and mapping a RAW capture to the displayable dynamic range of screens is a subjective process, not a perfect science. So never interpret these 35mm scans as "how a film was supposed to look". No two surviving 35mm films look the same, and none look the way they did at release. These are just films degraded by hundreds of theatrical runs & decade of chemical decay. This organic "instagram filter" evokes a certain nostalgia, but it's an illusion. There is no pristine original to go back to. Even the original negatives stored by studios require month of digital cleaning to be considered "usable". It's all a subjective process.

Some office workers tested out the "escaping from a slow walking killer" movie trope and the results are surprising

@Lady_FanAccount the best part is he took a huge advance and saved it all by recording everything himself

"You Get What You Give" is basically a solo project disguised as a band. Gregg Alexander (vocalist, songwriter and producer) recorded almost the entire album Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too (1998) alone, playing most of the instruments and doing all the lead vocals. The track became the band's only major hit. The famous ending of the track ("Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson / You're all fakes...") It caused controversy at the time, because several artists mentioned were pissed off, but Gregg said it was only to criticize the fame industry and materialism. After the success, he dissolved the New Radicals and disappeared from the stage forever, becoming a backstage composer (he wrote tracks for Ronan Keating, Danielle Brisebois...).

I recommended a bunch of movies to a young guy at work a few weeks ago, and he's been watching them in like 30 minute portions, and its driving me insane. He came in today and went, "Pretty hyped on the first half hour of Seven, dude!" So strange.

Yearly reminder that Jo’s dad from ‘Twister’ was an absolute idiot. Holding onto the shelter door like he was going to prevent an F5 Tornado from ripping it off.
