For whatever reason, Vision Zero is failing in Los Angeles. I'm not sure whether it's lack of funding, effort, expertise, laws, or what, but they've failed in efforts to reduce speeds.
In Pasadena, where I live, pedestrian fatalities and injuries continue to go up. Something's not working.

I was going to let the devs at my company know about this (they're deep into CoPilot & its GitHub extension), but then I remembered how full-court press they and execs are pushing AI BS at work, and thought, "Fuck 'em. I hope it hurts."
Is it Thursday yet?
Cosmography alert 🚨

Hell, yes.
Back at ya!

While the trailer caused the rigger & CFX artist in me to cringe slightly, I'm super stoked about the film. I didn't realize it was all CG. At least the promo stills I've seen look all CG.
Tim Cook stepping down as Apple CEO.
Let's see where the company goes with a new person at the helm.
Today was a very rare 3-movie day:
BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (Criterion)
PANDEMONIUM (Arrow)
THE ADDICTION (Arrow)
Sated.

Cherry season at the Farmer's Market! Woo! Almost makes up for it not being tomato season anymore.

True. It's one thing to vote for something you know will fail, but we'll see what happens after November and possible Dem majorities in Congress.

Where was he before? This time he voted to prevent bulldozers and 1000 pound bombs. Really putting himself out there.
Ossoff is an AIPAC shill. Who cares what he says?
He voted to continue giving weapons to Israel, a genocidal Apartheid state. He accepts millions from Israel aligned PACs.
He's a brick in the bulwark we need in Congress. Nothing more.
I just pre-ordered Joe Dante's INNERSPACE from Arrow Video. It's a great, funny film. A fun adventure for the whole family.
Go get yours!

Pre-ordered! Picked up Tremors and Dark City UHDs while I was there, too.
I love Innerspace. I've seen it at least five times over the years.
It's so fun, really good performances, a lot of heart, great pacing, and really well directed.
Heading over to Arrow now...
Let them live in their simpleton, uncultured world without the beauty of art. Bathe the rest of us in your red cross kite shield.
About to watch BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK on Criterion Channel for the 3rd time. I love this film. Short & sweet, and powerful.

What he's doing is softening up the left for the eventual milquetoast genocide appeaser who will be the next Democrat candidate for President. We're the reason we have Donald Trump. It had nothing to do with a weak candidate who couldn't galvanize new voters. Of course not.
I just had a 40-minute conversation with my daughter about my frustrations with how people tend to use the word privilege in order to shut others down, instead of an opening to dialogue. It was a good talk. I think we understand one another better, which is all I can ask for.
I remember him from Bullet Train. Really good. This looks like a great fit for him.
The combo of Crawford and Mercado directing is pretty special. Their PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH is my personal favorite we've made at DWA in recent memory, and FORGOTTEN ISLAND, I think, is going to outdo it on story, emotion, and craft.

I rigged Chun-Li for Wreck it Ralph, and sent the model back a couple of times because they didn't make the thighs big enough. That's my favorite contribution to the film.
Damn, this gave me chills, and I'm not on anything.
Hell, yeah!
I feel that tingle...
Nuttin' up time!
Thank goodness. I was looking up how to make a fire bomb.
I'll save that knowledge for another day. Those paper manufacturers are so lucky...

That's such a beautiful design! I can't wait to see what data their first supersonic tests return.
