Browser plugin for FB so that whenever FB suggests a friend, it adds a dialogue balloon saying "we're not so different, you and I."

Obama Practices Defiant Speech To Aliens Late At Night Behind Oval Office Desk - The Onion - America's Finest News Source (http://www.theonion.com/a... )

"Testing out different phrases and vocal inflections as he has done almost every night for the past seven years, President Barack Obama sat at his desk in the early morning hours Friday rehearsing a defiant speech he'd give to aliens should they one day invade, Oval Office sources confirmed." - Andrew C - -

I got roped into a discussion about twitter plagiarism by a lawyer (???) who jumped into a conversation I was already having and who was actively misunderstanding what I was saying or the context, then proceeded to cite irrelevant stuff at me.

Which culminated in citing an article that both supported and undermined his claim that tweets weren't copyrightable, excerpting one paragraph that supported him and not going on to cite the _immediately following_ paragraph that didn't. - Andrew C - [ 1 ] -

The sequels to SAW should have just added a 'W' to each movie. "SAWW". "SAWWW". Visually mimicking, y'know, _a saw_.

"And I do mean "old." Reed Richards is probably supposed to be about Teller's age -- 28 -- in that first Fantastic Four story, but it's an old, 1961-ish 28, not a Vine-star 28. He's gray-templed, a smoker of pipes, and a wearer of suits." - Andrew C - -

Thinking more about good vs bad CGI debate - maybe the biggest problems are with vertebrate animation. Virtual sets or digital makeup, NBD?

1 decade ago - Comment - Hide - - [ 2 ] -

It feels like when the CGI is blended well with practical effects, it feels the most "real" (or the least distracting.) "Interstellar" and "Mad Max: Fury Road" both employed CGI in what felt like the best way - to enhance something that was already fairly well executed. I can see partially virtual sets and makeup in that category, helping to add details or smooth defects. - Jennifer D. - -

Maybe it's not so much good vs. bad, as it is skillset and technology. Asian TV dramas use a lot of CGI and it is almost always impressive. Meaning, the obvious CGI looks good and even little, unnoticeable things like wind shifting hair/clothes or flower petals falling often look real enough. Whereas, even in multimillion dollar US movies, the CGI is just generally terrible. - faboomama - -

For the sake of the Marvel Netflix shows, it's probably best MCU Hawkeye doesn't live in New York… aka "Greater Hell's Kitchen".

Okay, like, yes, Bill Cosby's past work is completely ruined for me now because he's a rapist and that's hard because I loved The Cosby Show a lot but what are you going to do? - http://hellkatsally.tumbl...

1 decade ago - Comment - Hide - - [ 2 ] -

"Anyway, my point is not that I can't watch The Cosby Show anymore because I'm in the majority, there. Pretty much everyone feels disgusted and horrified that we adored a serial rapist for all these years. My point is, why do I seem to be the only person who can't watch Milk or Dead Man Walking? Sean Penn turns my stomach just to look at. He beat Madonna so often that she thought she would literally die at his hands. He beat Princess Buttercup, you guys. You fucking love Robin Wright when she's Princess Buttercup, but you find out her husband beat the shit out of her for years and you turn your heads and go watch I Am Sam." - Andrew C - -

"How can you coo over Michael Fassbender, knowing that he's so violent he once dislocated an ex-girlfriend's hip? Why do you boycott Chris Brown but treat John Lennon like an actual saint? These are rhetorical questions. I know the answer. Talented black men are immediately monsters the moment they do something terrible. Talented white men?" - Andrew C - -
