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

i need to find a small cluster of west side weirdos who want to shoot no-budget horror shorts for pure love of the game and who DON'T want to "just use ai for this part" because man. mannnn. i'm still bummed out that i had to leave the group i was planning to do this with.
my occupation? i trawl through job listings & make endless infinitesimal adjustments to my resume in order to apply for countless jobs that i'm perfectly qualified for. yeah, i've been doing it for about 2 years. no, i am still unemployed. yes, i think about walking into the sea every goddamn day :)
Absolutely love to see it. So happy for the people of Hungary 🇭🇺❤️
Attention Los Angeles and SoCal denizens, there’s going to be a sonic boom between 5-5:15pm tonight from Artemis’ re-entry. Given the state of the world right now, thought y’all might appreciate a heads up. I know I did. Godspeed 🙏🏻 🚀 👨🚀
signed up for bandana to send me alerts when a position i'm qualified for opens in my particular corner of los angeles, and they won't stop emailing to recommend jobs in san diego.
i'm so fucking tired.
oh no, they got Soderbergh? every day is like the ending of Body Snatchers '78 on this site.
We didn't deserve this day.
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.
Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.
this whole thing is very much like being locked in a room with a guy with a grenade who keeps being like IM GONNA DO IT IM GONNA PULL THE PIN and then is like “actually nah” and then everyone sighs but you’re still locked in the same room with the same guy and he’s still holding the same grenade
Just because he backed off shouldn’t stop efforts to remove him. He is dangerous and cannot be left in power.
Ban this entire fucking industry.
This entire administration is just an illegal insider trading grift using the stability and lives of billions of people as bait for gambling profits.
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
Renowned Iranian composer, Ali Ghamsari and tar virtuoso, announced he will stay at the Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant.
His plan: Create music there as a symbolic effort to shield Iran's infrastructure from attack. @iranscreenshot
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
Filing for an extension in case there’s a nuclear war + don’t want to help pay for it
pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants
literally don't know what to do. i'm eating fucking raisin bran. even if this particular threat goes nowhere there have already been murders on murders on murders on murders and for what??? so the terrorist in the white house can line his greasy pockets? none of this shit needs to be happening.
it's wild that we just need 5 - 10 congressional republicans to not suck for this to be over - like they just need to not be total shithead losers for five minutes and they can't even do that bc they actually deeply hate their constituents
feels genuinely deranged to just be sitting here eating breakfast while the whole planet is essentially being held hostage by a warmongering rapist pig who won't stop committing crimes against humanity for long enough to notice that his brains are rapidly liquefying.
question
If someone were trying to distract you from their own crimes, why would they be committing other, even worse crimes? Wouldn’t a better distraction be something that isn’t a crime
I don’t know how to express this more clearly
Every time you do a war I’m against it
I’m against it in all forms
I’m against from All sides
I’m against the careless loss of life
something strange and horrible and somehow fitting that we should have a very real threat of madman civilizational destruction at the very moment when we also have humans on the dark side of the moon taking pictures that show how small, precious, and beautiful our world and existence is
In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.
Like… We cannot go ahead and have the World Cup now like nothing is going on. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen tonight. Countries should simply refuse to send teams. The rest of the world cannot treat us as a remotely normal country after this
Bellisimo.
I am crashing out too.
Imagine if the roles were reversed and Iran had the madman with nukes. A guy who destroyed a 250 year old democracy in about a year. Started a war for no reason. And then he posted that he was gonna end American civilization. How would you feel about Iranians saying "relax he's not serious"
