A thread for those who love Human made Art

Not even the guitars knew they could be played like that

Rocky's catchphrase from 'Project Hail Mary' was mentioned by the NASA team during the Artemis II mission 'Amaze, amaze, amaze'

This artist makes slow motion look hypnotic.

Today is the 14th anniversary of Xenoblade Chronicles! ✨

I also can't stop thinking about how this might be the greatest missed opportunity in marketing history if Apple doesn't have a billboard of these saying "Shot on iPhone" lol NASA astronauts have been allowed to use their phones in space, and Commander Reid Wiseman and Mission Specialist Christina Koch uploaded these photos shot on an iPhone 17 Pro Max SELFIE camera

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Composer Brian Tyler says there is a lot of trust between Koji Kondo and him. He would also talk to other game composers at Nintendo: "I know Koji Kondo from working on the last film, and then there are other people I’ve worked with, like the composer for the Super Mario Galaxy games. I got to know them and the whole gang at Nintendo, including the head of Nintendo. I spent time with them up at Skywalker. In fact, Koji Kondo got inducted into The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame at the 27th Dice Awards in Las Vegas. When they asked him, “Who do you want to tell the story of your life and career up on stage?” He was like, “Brian Tyler.” So, I went out there and introduced his award. There’s a lot of trust there. After the last one, Koji was like, “You know all these things, see what you come up with,” for this one.  I’ll send this massive list to them of what I want to do, and pretty much they just say, “Wow. That’s, that’s wild. Just do your thing.” But if they see something, they’ll say, “Hey, did you know there’s a character there? Why don’t we make a reference there, or not?” They know to never do a reference if it’s going to steal away from the experience of the film. So, they’re like, “We came to you because you score films, and that is what you do. You know how to write music that tells the story, and adds to the emotional experience and narrative of a film. We don’t want anything to get in the way of that. That’s the main goal.” Which is the right thing. It’s the way to go. Put the movie and the experience first. After that, you can get fancy. The whole thing’s really fun regardless. I really have to credit them for putting the story first. They trust me with a very big task that is important for the film. So I just go for it. It’s a massive undertaking, but it’s a blast, you know. Nintendo has brought me a lot of joy, and now I get to join up with them. I remember playing the games with my girlfriend and my friends on Nintendo. Like Mario Kart and stuff. Those are memories from my life." mensjournal.com/news/brian-tyl…

I had a GREAT time watching it. I really enjoyed it, but I agree with the critiques that its mostly references without much of a plot. I dunno. Two things can be true at once but I suppose having a middle ground doesn't bring in the clicks. This is why I'm a mid creator 💀

The ‘ROBOCOP’ reboot series has been greenlit by Amazon’s new head of TV (Source: theankler.com/p/why-is-peter…)

They should relegate Bowser and Bowser Jr. to cameos in Mario Movie 3 and just have DeVito as Wario and Steve Buscemi as Waluigi as the main villains with big “get rich quick” ambitions who rip off Mario and Luigi and are the exact opposites of them in every way.

The Artemis II crew got to watch ‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ while in quarantine ahead of their mission to space. “They sent us a link to view at home with our families… the movie is a pretty extraordinary example that we can all follow. We all thought it was uplifting and inspiring.”

Damn, they hired The Veilguard team to write the show?!??

This is simultaneously the funniest and most relatable reel I’ve ever seen in my life

Yup...
