ig the zizians’ wikipedia article has been expanded on since that aired and oh my GOD

Photo from the Wikipedia article for the Zizians captioned “The Caleb at Pillar Point Harbor in May 2022, the same month it sank. [20]”, the photo depicts a tugboat so dilapidated and listing so far starboard that you have to wonder if whoever captioned it meant to say “half-hour” instead of “month”.

(i *am* encouraged by how thoroughly kodaka's give-a-shit about the DR fandom is still fully totaled)

Kazutaka Kodaka: Basically, when it comes to the scenario, we don't listen to fan opinions very much. We depict the characters as we understand them.

I know these characters better than the fans do.

(and when i say 'cry wolf', i mean both "you're going to make people not believe the next legitimate complaint of a 'real man jobs' comment's sexism" and "you're going to make people not believe progressivism is for people upset about the QoL gap between blue and white collar workers".)

i will defend with my life every superfluous belt, strap and buckle in Guilty Gear’s character design, but i draw the line at the uninhibited use of Brush Script MT

Millia Rage from Guilty Gear Strive, including a necklace pendant that says “Curiosity killed the cat..” in Brush Script MT

Potemkin from Guilty Gear Strive, with “Burly Heart” printed on the metal plating of his gauntlet, and again on what appears to be a giant screw just above it. Both times in Brush Script MT. The state of Zepp might as well just be using Comic Sans on its official memos.

One of two instances of “Thanks Luck” printed in Brush Script MT on the sickle blade of Axl Low’s kusarigama in his Guilty Gear Strive design, whose face I almost cropped out because this cockney-ass himbo’s lovable mug almost compels one to forgive the typographical transgression, but i’m not going to deceptively edit my evidence to strengthen my point. i’m better than that. i swear.

Bedman? from Guilty Gear Strive with “Dreamlike Reality” printed on his ocular orb thing in a tasteful italicized Garamon—im just fuckin with ya it’s brush script mt again

looking forward to this being the only way to use google

Google search for “who was the first movie character to say cleanup on aisle (blank) after a shootout”

The AI Overview:

The first movie character credited with using a variation of the line "cleanup on aisle (blank)" specifically after a shootout is Michael Scarn (played by Michael Scott) in the 2011 film-within-a-show Threat Level Midnight. (Citations: The Office Wiki | Fandom +1)
Key Details of the Scene
• Line: "Clean up on aisle five." (Citations: The Office Wiki | Fandom)
• Context: In the cold open of the film, a delivery man attempts to shoot Scarn. After dodging the bullets, Scarn draws two revolvers and shoots the assailant, delivering the quip as the man falls. (Citations: The Office Wiki | Fandom)
• Significance: The line is a parody of cheesy 1980s and 90s action movie tropes.
While the "cleanup on aisle..." phrase existed as a generic joke before this, The Office cemented it as a specific post-shootout action hero one-liner. (Citations: MovieMom +1)
Other Notable Uses
While Scarn is the most famous for this specific "shootout" context, similar lines have appeared in other media:
• Arnold Schwarzenegger: In the 2014 film Sabotage, his character and his team use the line "Cleanup on aisle three" after clearing a house. (Citation: MovieMom)
• Brian Bosworth: In the 1991 action film Stone Cold, the character uses a "cleanup on aisle three" quip, though it is often cited as part of the broader 90s action era that Michael Scott was parodying. (Citations: Facebook - RiffTrax Group +1)

i don’t usually post about my dreams but this one is gonna live in my head until i die

i dreamt joss whedon somehow wrangled control of star wars

not, like, managed to convince disney to let him make one

like, he managed to end up with the franchise instead of disney

and he made an episode x that everyone hated

he made it About Being Canceled. the empire is back and it is here to cancel problematic jedi

imagine this premise peppered with an absolutely noxious amount of whedonisms

i dreamed i saw it in the theatre and there was a small scale riot due to how bad it was

the analogy was, as you can imagine, painfully unsubtle
but he still went meta at the end to get his point across

some folk space theatre troupe regaling the legend of the events of the original trilogy (but also this movie) whose director and lead looked suspiciously like whedon almost being force choked through space-time by the big bad

me and my date had to sneak out a window because the lobby was pure chaos

what made me think the design looked kind of AI-ish was a combination of the gibberish type and the inconsistent thickness of the characters but i think that was a stylistic choice the designer made to make it look like a receipt printer overloaded on ink (or running too hot, if thermal)

not bullshitting. the ten minutes are a fun, supremely-anime-ass action fest the next scene is a bunch of state goons in military gear hauling a cook out of the back of a pizzeria with all the aesthetics of an ICE raid if want more textual evidence, they are called FREEZE FORCE and have ice powers

Screenshot of anime film PROMARE (2019). Galo and four of his allies eating pizza at a patio table outside a pizzeria as the restaurant owner, (a kind looking middle aged balding man with a mustache), looks on happily

i know promare is five years old and had a sizable fandom, and it’s generally remembered as a cool, stylish anime flick but seems like a good time to bring it up again because i don’t hear near enough people talk about how it’s very clearly about ICE

poster for anime film PROMARE (2019) featuring Lio Fotia (foppish androgynous man with a fluorescent green bob, a black leather jacket, a white cravat) spawning pink-and-cyan flames with his right hand, standing head-on and inches from Galo Thymos (muscular shirtless man with wild indigo mohawk and large firefighter gloves, folding his arms). The two stare daggers at each other in front of a colorful, geometric city with skyscrapers with purple windowed sides like disco balls and green rooftop gardens

The purple, cyan and yellow flames take the shape of a dragon, maneuvering around the purple buildings of the city.

An obsidian black mech with yellow and coral accents holds a massive cyan anime-ass lance/sword weapon while geometric shards of turquoise glass fly through the air

Lio on an obsidian black motorcycle with yellow highlights and pink lowlights in front of a blue sky and desert rock formation, spawning more geometrically stylized pink and neon-mint flames.
