Finally watched THE BRIDE!, a movie where from scene to scene my reactions veered between "more movies should be this bananas" and "dear god make it stop." But I loved Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut and will watch whatever she does next so my overriding reaction is respect for the vision.

Cats of Yore @catsofyore.bsky.social · 23/07/2026
Every day people show me antique photos of cats forced into costumes or wired into anthropomorphic positions, expecting me to be delighted. I know they mean well but I've seen them all and I hate them. I love cats. Seeing them uncomfortable and humiliated for human entertainment does nothing for me.

"For trans people like me and Page, there is nothing our haters love to call us more than liars." Yep. And damn, I appreciated what Nolan did with Page and Sinon already upon seeing the film, but this piece made me appreciate it a whole lot more.

What can we learn about a character just by looking at their hands? As it turns out, um- a lot. Especially in Witch Hat Atelier. I made a video about it. Here it is. youtu.be/llTDl-IWx-U

I like to watch Shark Tank but I don't think the sharks should be real. Like I don't think they should actually exist outside the show or do anything in the real world. They should only exist to sit in chairs on TV and say things like 'IT'S A SCAM' or 'I could put that on QVC'

It's a bit besides the point for the video I'm working on, but LOOK WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM US There's so much to commend about Witch Hat Atelier, but I can't help but wish they had kept a little more of the medieval woodcut style from the manga. Those clouds are delightful! (Layout by Håvard Dale)

The funny thing is that Ive been a storyboard artist for 30 years and Im well far off sitting on millions here. We are the cheapest you’ll make your film before it’s shot. We have ideas and experience and cost less than the rental of a lighting rig for a few weeks on our entire run on a show

This is the way.
The audience was shown a shot from the opening sequence as it evolved from storyboard to final product. While this could have felt a bit tedious and tailored toward the students in attendance, the purpose behind showing every painstaking step was revealed by Mokochan:

We want to express that this is a hand-drawn show made by humans to highlight the humanity in the story. The anime is sci-fi, but it’s also spiritual, which means it was vital for humans to be involved every step of the way. This pipeline follows that which was built by legendary directors like Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.

Gutted by this news, and that she was so young--even if I could do the math on her autobiographical story, Persepolis seems like the work of decades' more confidence and insight. And just a beautiful creation. Use your voice while you have a voice to use. RIP.

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Need a word for the phobia/revulsion thing I feel from the visual of someone holding one of those extra tiny DJI mics with just the tips of the index finger, middle finger & thumb, with the pinky raised. Nothing wrong with it! And yet it does viscerally make me want to sledgehammer the screen.

Intent & texture are disappearing from anime's linework. There are many factors : tools & technology (digital douga, especially in practice), the idea of "good animation" straying away from the drawings, and even mentorship - younger generations learning in an era where this aspect isn't prioritized

Literally I was so self-conscious about this line in an upcoming script that I kept trying to rewrite it even though it's objectively a normal and even rhetorically effective way to make a point??? I stopped saying "crucial" for awhile because ChatGPT text was overusing "crucial"
Highlighted part of a script: The spectacle doesn't just generate profit; it generates citizens.

Okay this was way too much of a tangent to include in the video, but it's important that you know this, in this age of "___ slop". John Everett Millais (who painted this) Belonged to a group of artists called the “Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood” in the mid→late 19th century, (1/2)

I've been watching what's happening in Minneapolis and I don't know what to say. Two American citizens killed by ICE in three weeks. Countless more who are not citizens. People afraid to leave their homes. For those of us not living in Minnesota, are some things we can actually do:
