Neil banging out the tunes April 13, 2006

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

I think about this often. A TV that just switched between inputs very quickly and reliably, and handled the color/sound of each input well, and did nothing else, would be so amazing.

If you register the flight in Flighty it’ll tell you the actual age of the plane (and if you import old flights, if you’ve ever been on it before).

Yeah make this please. If you need someone to do Macromedia Director screens for all the displays let me know.

Oh so it’s better that no one tells them???? (Trying out replying on BlueSky)

The dream

It was the genuinely the coolest.

Maybe if the subject had a very kinetic reaction to being in the crosshair and being photographed. But usually that’s not the case and kind of not the point of camera based interactions.

Would be totally unsurprising. People speculated that the story had Kylo Ren put his mask back on in the final movie for theme park continuity/easiness reasons.

Each one is backed by their respective movie credit. The cord from NTBTSTM winds through the entire composition, tying them all together.

I miss the feeling of animated movie main characters seeming like unknowns, or wholly defined as “themselves,” that came from non-celeb cssting, but I don’t think there is any sort of objective quality correlation to that feeling. It’s a trade off like other creative choices.

There was definitely more of a willingness or even best practice to cast a voice actor in lead roles and then surround them by celebrity voices up until the 90s.

Yeah, they go way back. People just didn’t get to see them until game engines were released as paid tools. And the id software heritage engines – aka the biggest engines we DID get to see – didn’t really have a complex art pipeline, just level editors.

He did!

This is so good.

In high school there’s a homecoming dance and my assumption as a teen was always like, maybe in the 50s or something they also let old people go to this who used to go to the school? I could never figure it out. It seems like a vestigial tradition that is now just “a football game and dance.”

Haha it was an accident at first and then I made a point of it. The scene in the theater was an amazing delayed but uproarious reaction, seeing it live.

For you (and for Dracula) I voted Dracula.

It’s perfect. Saw it five times in theaters. I was so hungry to keep watching it with an audience before that went away. No regrets.

Watching The Long Goodbye and I have completely forgotten why I was feeling bad tonight before Elliott Gould started talking

I would be trying to get slimed and it’d never happen :(

This was the fate of the Wii U in our timeline as well so this tracks.

the AMC here was the theater where it was continuing to do well the longest. maybe they know what they're doing

I attended a couple sold out seattle shows before it left, but its gone from the pacific northwest as of last wednesday.

Oh hey that was a bullet point in the original thread. Ok all caught up now.
