Nah, I mean that even thought they look so picture perfect, my brain just doesn’t see them as real, and parks them in the same category as a cartoon.
Whereas a practical effect, might look hilariously bad, but sometime a jello filled, papier-mache head exploding, is the perfect amount of gore to make me wince.
My theory is that since practical effects ultimately rely on physics of the world we occupy, that despite their unpolished look, they feel more real. The hyper realistic, but completely reality breaking effects of today just hit the same way cartoons do.
Speaking of cartoons, I love finding the shortcuts that animators would take, there’s something so artistic about how they did it.
I am just so much more engaged when I can watch a movie while also trying to figure out how they pulled off an effect.
My wife had cancer young and it caused her to be unable to nurse our children; she just couldn't produce enough and so we bottle fed our kids. It's been over 10 years but she still gets shit on for it by certain types (including some in my own family who remind us whenever they get a cold). She is so goddamned, rightfully angry with the types who try to shame people for not breastfeeding.
I've never thought about it like that but it makes so much sense. The hate in the heart of these people runs incredibly deep, I know because my own family has disowned me because I refused to "take the red pill".
I am a leader in a youth organization and we have a few autistic kids in our group. They are wonderful kids, and their parents are just amazing with their patience and love for all the kids. I can't imagine the difficulties they face, but I'm so truly blessed and happy to have these kids in my and my children's lives. I've worked with special needs kids a few times, and the pure joy they are capable of is something that sticks with you.
But I've also known a few less involved and less interested parents who denied and refused care for their kids who clearly need help. I can't say I know the political persuasion of any of these folks, but I'm pretty good at inference...
I'm not religious at all, but seeing these mouthbreathing maga fuckwit's, slavish fealty to that pedo-protecting rapist criminal, has me reconsidering.
I honestly think they would put the pedal to the metal. But I also think without the cult of personality, it will fall apart real fast. Only problem is, no idea who victors in that power vacuum…
mortality is the only thing that will get him out of office at this point. sadly he has the best medical care this country has to offer. thankfully he has the best medical care this country has to offer.
Oh come on, it’s shorthand for their inaction and garbage words in the aftermath of every one of these.
Seeing articles like these nearly every single week in the United States is, well, not boring and I don’t see anyone doing anything about these other than discussion.
Both congress and the Supreme Court handed ceded all their power to the executive branch. We have a dictator now, full stop. This country is run by the whims of a pedophile protecting (at best), rapist, criminal (convicted, not punished - REWARDED).
I have noticed that some of the regular creators I watch seem to look a little AI lately. I honestly have been questioning reality a bit; that’s probably the point.
