you're a weird lil fella!

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 34 minutes ago

you things don't like it when bullying doesn't work, huh?

when your mob mentality is challenged?

well, let's not call it mentality.

your rampaging aggression.

but impotent.

That's it.

your limp, mindless aggression!

yup, or literally anything else that could possibly happen at that company right now.

yEs!

thanks

worth it, thanks.

apparently Homer Hickman tried to help her get her job back, but it didn't work, but now she's an aerospace engineer at Boeing...so things are going great .

no problems there.

"Being a public figure or an actor in a piece of art invites criticism"

being an actor does not invalidate a person's feelings.

"If they can't handle that basic fact"

she is handling it by expressing herself, letting people know what erasing her image makes her feel like.

your disrespect and dismissal of her personal feelings is disgusting.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works -3 points 3 hours ago

"Her feelings are unjustified and come off as narcissistic."

her own feelings are justified and not subject to your or anyone's approval.

her feelings are justified.

they come off as narcissistic only to you because you do not see her as deserving of feelings.

this is your problem, not hers.

"For her to react this negatively over a fan making their own version of a poster says a great deal more about her, and to me does more damage to her reputation than a poster ever could."

her reaction does not invalidate her feelings or her basic humanity, both of which you are shamefully dismissing as irrelevant.

"Have we seen Ian mckellan go on a tirade because fans made a two towers poster that doesn't include his face?"

this situation is about a different person, Cynthia erivo, whose feelings were hurt, not Ian, whose feelings were not hurt.

"that's her problem she needs to tackle herself,"

she is. she is explaining her feelings to the public, which as an actor is very natural.

she isn't attacking other people, she didn't "dump on the people", she is explaining how she was hurt and how this feels to her, personally.

read her statement, you apparently have no idea what it says.

"now has people like you defending her for basically calling this person (who again all we know is just a super big Wicked fan) basically the devil."

neither erivo in her statement nor i here have called the creator " basically the devil" or attacked this person at all, in any way.

we're talking about the feelings of Cynthia, and her basic humanity, which you are shamefully dismissing as irrelevant.

there was no attack in this statement, it is an explanation of how she feels as a result of being erased from a work she cares about.

you don't respect and are dismissing her perspective, feelings and her right to express her feelings, which is offensive and shameful of you.

"or our interests..."

that hegemony talk sure is something.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works -5 points 5 hours ago

you're welcome.

I never liked bullies, and I like you all less now.

being proud of erasing someone after is shameful of you. bearing indignant Pride in their pain when they tell you it hurts them is shameful of you.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

okay, got it. thanks.

that is a heck of a development, I now understand the cause for the hullabaloo.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

okay. did those series ever end?

haha, I don't really want to watch 500 episodes and then wait for the hollowing chapters.

does anyone have any insight into this? actual behind the scenes knowledge?

the sets either look like cheap plastic or ps3 graphics.

It's very distracting and making it almost impossible for me to immerse myself in the story.

It's very frustrating because I like the movie and the story and I think the actors are mostly doing a good job, kamala and her family are hilarious, but I can't get over how dog shit the CGI , editing and set pieces are.

did anyone else notice this?

and the budget was 220 million. it was huge, I can't understand why the effects and set pieces are so terrible.

a small example: when captain Marvel "changes" her clothes in the singing Palace, her entire wardrobe is clearly changed off screen, she's already wearing her new costume when the camera switches back to her and there are literal like 1970s cartoon Disney sparkles floating around her for a second to imply that she morphed her costume?

have Marvel movies always looked this ridiculous? I feel like 10 years ago the effects and settings were more believable, or at the very least more immersive.

All of these effects look like they were made in one frantic week.

oh, and the costumes?

Why are all the costumes baggy?

like professor Marvel's costume is baggy, everyone on Nick Fury ship is wearing baggy jumpsuits.

and it's not like cool baggy, they just didn't make costumes that fit for everybody on set?

professor's Marvel's mom's hair looks crazy, it looks like they sprayed white spray paint on her head and was like okay, she's old now.

the kittens are rough, their textures, movements and physics are absurd.

i like watching "making-of" or "behind-the-scenes" featurettes and documentaries about the behind the scenes machinations of movie making, but in terms of literature, I'm not sure what to look for if i want to learn about the process Martha wells went through to conceive the murderbot diaries, for example.

i can search for making-of The Matrix and find documentaries, but not making-of project hail Mary and find similar literary results.

is there a section of literature like this?

should i be reading annotated editions?

thanks

I used to take screenshots of the picture I wanted to use as wallpaper, but then Android stopped that from working, and now I have to manually add a giant border to make the screenshots fit the arbitrary fiant wallpaper size on the Android screen.

any normal screenshot I take is blown way oversized, is there any way to simply make a screenshot my wallpaper yet on Android?

it seems crazy that this is still so complicated years later on Android, am I missing something?

Thanks for any help

I remember

spoilera couple different things.

less clearly, i remember Hanks trying to kill himself, the branch breaking and then you seeing the broken tree until the scene fades to black into the next scene. but I suspect this scene was actually from another movie.

more clearly, i remember Tom hanks' character suicide-testing a wooden dummy to test the carrying capacity of the branch that is on a short but tall-enough cliff, but the dummy is too heavy and the branch breaks.

Branch can't break twice, so I'm clearly remembering something wrong, but I "know" that whatever I saw happened fairly early on in the movie and was not his description of attempted suicide near the end of the movie.

I remember a fairly lengthy (2-3 minutes) action scene of him physically testing the tree off a cliff.

other people swear that neither scene was in the movie and there's only the description of his attempted suicide at the end.

there are unsubstantiated rumors that the scene was in the theatrical version(which is the version i saw) but not in home releases.

I haven't seen the movie since I saw it in theaters when it came out.

What do you remember?

the car models can be whatever, I'm just curious if anyone is dressing up their cheap cars as expensive ones or if this is an industry yet?

is there a legal hurdle?

is there a limit to car decision in general?

is this sort of car case business already a thing?
