VHD:B is IMO hands-down the *coolest* animated movie ever made. Not the best, not my overall favorite, but it is *maximally* cool.

Sorry about the repost but the final version looked a lot better coming off the flat-bed scanner than it did through my cheap phone camera.

I like how there appear to be at least a couple trademarked buildings in the distance. There's a reason nobody puts the Freedom Tower in their videogame.

GenAI does love to clip stuff. Stable Diffusion for ex has always had a knack for transporter accidents, especially as you increase the prompt adherence.

True story - I once got laid-off by the guy who animated Clippy. He didn't offer to help me update my resume.

(Although, perhaps fittingly, he's now dishing out advice as a life coach)

We had some raindrops in Reno this summer that were so juicy it sounded like somebody was pelting my car with eggs.
