Starship Flight 14 Concludes! Ship 41 bellyflop, flip-and-burn, and splashdown (and this time, the expected explosion)! Full stream from T-4 hours: youtube.com/watch?v=9gDx...

Ah yes, the good old days where I could pull my car head first into a kiosk and use my magical mr.stretch arms to drop my mangled film roll off.

Here’s to everyone who actually WORKED inside a Fotomat. That tiny booth. All day. In the middle of a parking lot. Cars pulling up with rolls of film and coming back days later for their pictures. If you worked at one, share your stories. #Fotomat #Nostalgia

Well this is actually the Parseltongue translation so.......

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

"Our entire business model is stealing produce from every grocery store in the world and then selling it back to you in different configurations. We understand that some of the produce we sell back to you is rotten and moldy — the blame solely rests on the grocery stores we robbed."

“Erin Brockovich” (2000) A beautiful example of solid shot design, and stunts, special effects and digital visual effects working together.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

You can’t deny the biggest cultural impact of AVATAR, which is that I’ve had to strain to see movies projected through a 3D polarizer (that the theater employees couldn’t be bothered to remove) for the past 16 years.

I have so many films I adore but anytime the question "whats your favorite movie?" comes up the default answer is Princess Bride. I love that Rob supposedly had to leave set when filming the Miracle Max scenes because his laughing was ruining the takes.

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

So much if our current problems are tied up in a weird cult that continually thinks that all our long term crises are pointless bc human existence is going to get wrapped up within the next five years so why bother.
