this is the realest shit ever posted and when you become a parent you spend a lot of time internally screaming about it
People who argue "who cares it's just for kids" all I can say is fuck right off. Kids deserve thoughtful, well-made movies that challenge them just as much as adults do. Kids aren't stupid, and they remember how movies affect them basically forever.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

planning a trip that includes driving through AZ, any ideas for where to stop and sleep for the night? preferably out where we can see nature or the night sky. I love bisbee but it’s too far out of the way this time :(

More revenue from the partnership looks good on the books and they’re not competing with anyone else anyway, there are two animation studios. From Cory Doctorow recently:

if japan - JAPAN - has a four day work week before i do, i’m going to lose it
I currently work a four-day work week and it is so much better.
Kanagawa Prefecture may be the latest government body in Japan to adopt a four-day workweek for government employees. The move follows Tokyo and multiple private businesses as the country strives for a better work-life balance.

in therapy because of the last time this happened *finger guns*
at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

we are five of those 70 million, top ten best purchase of my life
Toto says cumulative sales of the Washlet have surpassed 70 million. Launched in 1980, it took 18 years to sell 10 million Washlets. Overseas sales started kicking in from around 2010, and US demand has driven recent growth. www.yomiuri.co.jp/economy/2025...

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I just can’t fucking work while on drugs and don’t trust anyone who claims they can. I can barely function if I’ve had way too much caffeine. Doing them and then going in public is a whole extra thing, damn
I think it’s bad that leaders of companies are visibly up to their gills in stimulants now. Did nobody tell them that, contrary to how they make you feel, those things make you stupid? This is why everyone needs some fuck up friends growing up, to teach them that there’s no good way to abuse drugs.

Assuming there isn’t more to this than we know, it is indeed very embarrassing to see an industry obsessed with being taken seriously as an art form self censor in this way.
