First record I bought with my own money 😊

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans.

@jlikeshoops I think it’s fine to say as offensive only but a closer on both ends would still be Kobe

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real. The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later. Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him. Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman. Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact. 95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

@TheMafiaPoint It’s not and it’s not close but that’s because goodfellas is almost perfect and casino is still a really really good movie

Is Casino just as good as Goodfellas?

@NicholasPas5 Batman Arkham knight we will never forget you

Fuck it let him play both in the sequel

@dylangonzalez21 Him and SGA got the same trainer btw

basketball

@verobchfinfan @AbramsonFL @ProFootballTalk Won the heisman, won two nattys and played in a third that is still considered the greatest college football game of all time. Well deserved

@AbramsonFL @ProFootballTalk Why did USC retire his number? Is my question.

Matt Leinart, whose No. 11 jersey was retired by USC, says the school has asked him to unretire his jersey for recruits who wanted it. Leinart said he'll never agree to that. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

God and Mike White willing, Max Greenfield is about to reach levels of onscreen chaos we didn't even see on NEW GIRL

KCP but our team is cooking rn

The other night Luka had his very normal 12, 5, and 5 in the first quarter. On the broadcast Richard Jefferson said “thats my career averages” A small remark that can put into perspective how ridiculous Luka’s first quarters are.

People talk about Chalamet being cocky the way your racist local sports columnist talks about a Dominican player flipping his bat. Lighten up you insufferable bores. It’s the definition of Not That Deep.

Put this on the switch 2 and I’ll give you my social security number @NintendoAmerica

@AlaricTsoni @PanasonicDX4500 How do you think he got that role bucko

@PanasonicDX4500 I didn't even know Shia Lebouf was on Disney channel, when I was a kid he was just "that guy from Transformers"

this is like when Shaq slanders every Center who played after him during Inside the NBA

everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager > drive your friends to the airport > go to their party even when you're tired > stop cancelling last minute > host at your place > support the wins & losses it's worth every ounce of effort

@WorldWideWob @sebastianudo Where does pacers @ bulls and heat @ Celtics score for you

@sebastianudo Yup. Celtics @ Lakers 10/10 Bulls @ Knicks 9.9/10 Bulls @ Lakers 9.9/10 Celtics @ Knicks 9.9/10

@itsbelakboy Heartgold soul silver is objectively number 1 with black n white 2 being close

the top three Pokemon games of all time and not a single one being a mainline game

@TAT1SSZN Lmaooo

If Germany had a competent baseball team they could've got the band back together

@b1gotfans Last game ever of a 20 year career off multiple career injuries & they were down by 15 & HE WON THE GAME. his efforts WON the basketball game. He did not gun 4 it until mid 3rd quarter. Did you watch the game or are you just a box score watcher like every other loser on this app?

Bam 83 ain’t impressive but Kobe 60 on 50 shots was the best shit they ever seen 🆗

@Nick_cobra_kai @Carnage45__ Lmfao from 98 to 2004 they went WCF West semis and lost to champion spurs Chip Chip Chip West semis and lost to champion spurs Finals Loss In 7 years they won 3 rings had 4 finals appearances & lost 3 times to the champions There’s only 1 team in history with a better stretch

@Carnage45__ Kobe and Shaq went out in the second round the next year in there prime as a team together

The same people that'll tell you Kobe's first 3 rings don't count because he played with Shaq are going to claim you hate basketball because you didn't love that nonsense that happened last night.

It’s disrespectful apparently when someone in the NBA gets a late basket as time expires when the game is over but it’s not disrespectful that a team can extend a game up 27 to manufacture an extra dozen possessions by fouling and creating an extra 15 points for a player 🤦‍♂️
