Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

I swear, Disney execs are a fuckin cancer. You can’t crack the premise for The Muppet Show??? There are Muppets, and they put on a variety show with a different guest star each week. You literally just keep doing the thing you just did.

Imagine Stephen King, circa 1997, putting out daily press releases promoting his anti-gay org while publishing horror books as Richard Bachman. Imagine George Lucas, circa 2007, announcing a billion dollar fund for anti-Muslim lawsuits, then launching 'The Clone Wars.' This is J.K. Rowling today.

The third act of A Christmas Carol, one of the most famous examples of "don't die a dickhead, " was the ghost showing Scrooge how happy everyone was that he died and it was a big motivator for him to stop being a piece of shit and still we got a bunch of dickhead Dems talking up Lindsey Graham

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Ended vacation w/ my family yesterday by smoking a joint, having a couple beers and playing most of a run in the Star Fox remake. Went to bed and met a friend first thing after waking up to see Jackass. Have to go back to the hell of real life tomorrow, but that was about as good as it can get.

The best Star War is Andor. If you’re only counting the movies, the best Star War is The Last Jedi. A New Hope > Empire Strikes Back Rogue One is an infuriating movie. It has a few 10/10 scenes, but its structure is utterly broken. And the CG/deepfaked Tarkin & Leia are *abominations*.

My dream would be to have a little storefront to buy/sell/trade movies and video games. Have a small workbench to service/repair old game consoles. Mod old clickwheel iPods and Game Boys and stuff. I think it could be successful, millennials and Gen Z are hungry for owning their media.

Zohran is a generational political talent; and I cannot decide if him being ineligible for the presidency is a tragedy or is partially what is enabling him to be this good. Probably both.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

I 100% believe that he knows he’s dying & a holy war is a shot at salvation with the benefit of destroying a world that would very unfairly dare to continue existing without him. We are witnessing the most selfish actions ever known. Historically, executions, not flowers, are the only apology.
