Yes! That final cliffhanger! Will Discovery finally get to some discovering?!

That is one amazing 'stache. They should've CGI'd that onto Superman.

I think the most natural solution is to just cut to a later time when the character has hung up. The weird thing to me isn't not hearing "goodbye" but rather that you linger on the character silently hanging up the phone.. Just show me the reaction to whatever impactful thing that was said and then cut! Cut away, end scene (or, if this is David Fincher, cut to dramatic wide shot of character alone in his kitchen contemplating the impactful words, with a bottle of whiskey and moody lighting)

I haven't plugged my pointclicking series in a while, but today there's 25% off any art print on my site, with the promocode GIVEART25 https://society6.com/jonkk/s?q=popular+prints

I haven't played the game, so maybe some of it looks hella ugly in-game, but the mishmash art direction I've seen from videos is a pretty big part of my attraction to the game. The art direction feels loose and fun in a way big budget games usually don't.

Practicing sculpting in Blender again. Did an old man face (as I always do!) and then a fun character. Here's an animation test.

Mindhunter had a 30-minute episode which was great and felt just as complete as any of the other 60 minute episodes and made me question my life and why the hell I watch so many streaming series that insist on filling 60 minutes with material that clearly wasn't long enough or interesting enough for 60 minutes. I'm looking at you Netflix's Marvel shows.. >:( I hope more shows start doing this! *Also* I liked Mindhunter quite a lot.

Also, unrelated to the movie:

Yeah, I just rewatched the original and that romance scene was... more than uncomfortable. I assume it was on purpose..? He wa very aggressive in closing the door and basically commanded her to say and do a bunch of stuff... then suddenly romantic sax kicks in. Was there some voiceover on top of that scene in the Theatrical Cut that made it seem more romantic or something? Watching the Final Cut and having never watched the Theatrical Cut, I just kept thinking I couldn't imagine how this entire film would even work with a voiceover... Anyway, I'm excited to see the new one tomorrow! Also, weird little goof: When Ford begins testing Rachel he doesn't actually lift anything out of the case (I don't know which cut this is from or if it's been fixed later):

Oh, wow, so they really *did* just outright copy PUBG!

I haven't seen it yet, but apparently cinematographer Roger Deakins oversaw the 3D conversion process himself, so that might account to why it is so subtle and well done. According to some very quick googling it's all 2d-to-3d conversion, so none of it was actually shot with two cameras.

I quite like that it's focusing on a different crew member than the captain of the ship, because then they can do the ambiguous captain character. I hope he has more depth than just "madman monster-collector" and it doesn't just end up with the monster eating him or something.. We'll see! Saru is great! I'm very hopeful and thoroughly entertained, so far!

Oh shit, thanks for the mention of my Shitty Wizard! Regarding pronounciation of cwine, I personally always pronounce it "swine" while some people argue it should be "kwine" This also reminds me I should get back to cwine development so it can actually every be used for anything!

I like to mix it up. I introduced my son to educational ones, but he also gets to play Angry Birds 2 because he does learn *some* fine-motor skills while playing it. You can slowly see him getting better at making micro-adjusments to the shooting curve, which is wonderful to see. But he's still only five, so he still quite likes the educational stuff and goes back and forth between that stuff. That said, I'm probably way looser with the iPad compared to other parents. As long as he also plays outside and wants to do other stuff, I'm fine with him doing whatever on the iPad when he wants to cool down.. What kind of apps are the stupid ones she likes? Like.. Farmville stuff?

I recently got Cinema4D R19 at work, which included some very nice updates to the Voronoi Fracture tool. So I've been playing around with that, rendering some tests using Octane Render (a fantastic unbiased render) Here's my latest test: Here it is in (30fps) video form.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited to see what this is. The CGI looks pretty nice for such a CGI-heavy TV show. And I never minded the nuTrek look with the heavy bloom, so I'm fine with that stuff. I really liked the war-heavy seasons of DS9, so I'm interested in seeing what Discovery does with a Klingon war.

Haha oh my god, that Twin Peaks reggae is fantastic! Good job!

Alright, is anyone getting a bit of Nintendo fever again? Or did all sympathy for them disappear with their "We don't play with Garage Developers" comments? I'm pretty excited. Don't know if I'd buy it. I got excited for the Wii, but never bought it. Didn't buy 360 or PS3, either, so I might jump on an HD capable console from Nintendo. But still, all that aside, this is all very interesting. What with touch-screen controller rumors, and all. Anyways, anyone else have thoughts? Figured we could start babbling about it in this thread come E3 in June. So, Idle Thumbs Forum is ready for Nintendo E3 now!

Nice!

Is anyone else not seeing this episode on their Ad-Free Feed? Does it always just take a bit more time to propagate?

Agree with everything here.

I've started watching the latest Netflix version, Ten Years Later and am really enjoying it. I don't have a lot of thoughts yet, but I felt I'd make a thread now in case anyone else is watching as well and has any thoughts. So here's your official Wet Hot American Summer thread for all your Wet Hot American Summer chat about the movie and the two Netflix seasons.

HBO is coming out with their HBO Go service in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. This is amazing news, and I think this is a step in the right direction for how I'd like television to work one day (without regional restrictions). They've announced a price that's somewhere over 10€. Is anyone else here going to pick this up when it goes online? I'm amazed by some of the comments I've seen surrounding this. People asking them if they'll be able to watch "the CSI's and NCIS" on this. People lamenting that they're not interested in any HBO series. Why were they interested in HBO Go in the first place?
