my deepest darkest fantasy is that i get out of my pulse at masquerade nyc and am pulled aside by a butler. they tell me i was the perfect audience member. they say they've never seen someone so normal. they give me an A+ in audience participation and commend my incredibly natural behavior. the crowd cheers. obama is there,

just heard in the phm directors' commentary that the "space dots" projector shot in the classroom scene of grace showing his students astrophage was done by them "burning steel wool and inverting the image to black and white"???!!!!

are you KIDDING ME?!?! that is insane. in other words, an effectively 'background' comp by definition, that typically without question would normally have been assigned as solely VFX in ANY other film, is given an ingeniously creative physical, practical effect solution that you would never expect to create or find.

this is why project hail mary is so goddamn good. this is why practical movie magic is so good. that's our humanistic intuition. we can tell when things are real. it's not just in the life-affirming emotional clarity that you find in the characters' stories. it's also in the behind the scenes stories of how they created moments like the characteristic shadow of an alien lifeform from doing shit like fuckin setting steel wool on fire. and then having feelings about it.

that's art. that's storytelling. that's being human. that's life is reason.

In a sense, it doesn’t matter how ridiculous it sounds to think Pepsi would genuinely honour that. Pepsi said that they would, therefore they have to, or else they’re guilty of false advertising. Companies can’t be allowed to say whatever they want in adverts, and when asked to pony up pull “it was just a joke, bro”. To use a slightly less ridiculous example, Fallout 76. One of the preorder editions can with a canvas backpack. But when they finally shipped, the durable canvas backpacks somehow became flimsy nylon. Complaints to publisher Bethesda got the response that the canvas version advertised was a prototype that was too expensive to make, so they handed out the cheap imitations instead. It took like two years in the courts for Bethesda to give people what they actually pay for. And they won because advertising law says you have to deliver on what you promise, even if it’s a Harrier jet. Introducing any level of “it’s just a joke” makes that effectively meaningless.

"I genuinely thought Pepsi was giving out fighter jets" Pepsi genuinely SAID they were giving out fighter jets. They went to some trouble to specify the conditions under which they were giving out fighter jets, in fact.

You can't shake the Devil's hand and then say you were only kidding.

It's just that sometimes the Devil shows up in the form of some guy with a lot of time on his hands and an interest in getting himself a fighter jet.

This is like a case out of contracts 101 that any first year law student knows. Pepsi made a valid offer to enter into a contract and someone accepted the offer. In this case, it was a jet for points. There's no few law school cases about this.

It’s unknown what happened to the mother. But all four kittens are “doing great so far,” Fugate said, and are in the care of a foster home, where the youngest ones are being bottle-fed every few hours. Binx is still with them. “They all went to a foster home together,” she said, “because how could we split them up?”
