Does anyone know how the optical effects were done for Rainbow Brite?

Specifically the holographic looking sparkles shown coming from her belt here. What is that? What's the technique?

New reason to film horizontally: all the shit we're seeing.

It's about making sure you catch everything around the thing happening. Action happens horizontally, because we're on the ground. Horizontal filming gives you more time to turn the camera and still keep stuff in frame if something happens.

The context of the line is a massive spoiler but I love how the moment from AJ goes to the Dog Park I keep thinking about is not one of the clever jokes its just some guy going

I'm often asked what IP I want to remake or adapt (because originals are verbotten) and all I ever come up is obscure video games from the 90's that no one has heard of and that completely defeats the purpose of it being IP.

I weep for people in the ‘50s and ‘60s not having the internet to ship Perry Mason and Della Street. People must have died from the unexpressed shipping energy, just sitting at home, drinking their government mandated milk, going into cardiac arrest because they couldn’t make a fancam or post art.

Finally started reading the Moomin books as an adult and they're wonderful. I think the key factor to why they're so great is that they're just *nice*.

There isn't a constant "ticking clock", it's just peaceful beings desiring a little bit of adventure but even more peace in the end. It's great!

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Making a lot of phone calls to my friends an family in Minnesota today and it's fresh new wound every time.

I live in Los Angeles now. I obviously never hear the quintessential Minnesota accent out here.

But it's the sound of where I grew up. It's just part of the atmosphere. Seeing these videos of places I know, with the sounds that I forget are embedded in me, hurts much deeper than normal.

I really love Minnesota. It's my home.

Every time I read about someone from US history being a "suspected communist" it only makes me think they are, at minimum, kinda cool.

Cool.

I'm getting fundraising texts from George Conway now.

This is what I want from Democrats.

Thank you.

Cool.

Every 5 years or so "Hollywood" learns that women, half of the population of the planet, also like to watch entertainment.

Then they stand around, arms akimbo, discussing with each other what to do with this info, and decide that the answer is to put more women who punch things into their movies.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Do we have books or other materials like this in the US For parents who want to be able to teach this to their kids?

I remember in high school I was lucky that we had a couple units on recognizing bias in reading the news or literature, but nothing for little kids.

New bad economic indicator just dropped:

How many people actually sent a followup email at the top of the new year.

I know the Fruit of the Loom mandela effect thing is old news, but it really is crazy that I specifically remember learning what a cornucopia was because of that logo and yet it apparently just never existed. What a mind fuck!

The first Monday after January 1st shall henceforth be named "Followup E-Mail Day" and we shall do nothing but send a minimum of 19 emails to business associates wishing them a happy new year while subtly reminding them that the work week HAS officially begun and we need to get going on that thing.

It's too bad that the only marble sculptures we see are perfect renditions of the ideal human form but we never get to see the ones where the artist was still learning and they forgot to change where they were sitting while carving so the eyes look all warped and fucked up
