This is brilliantly performed, but my God the Sound Department for this sequence deserve an EGOT and a Medal of Honor.

Did Covid actually happen in the Good Omens universe? And does that mean the voice skit you wrote for Michael & David is canon?

1) yes

2) if you want it to be.

Doing YouTube

I have been doing my YouTube for just a year this past May. I am loving doing my channel and I wouldn't have started posting videos on my channel if it wasn't for Robert Meyer Burnett. He told me I should get out there and do something because I have a lot of talent and I recently started doing live streams and I am getting a steady amount of regulars coming to them which is so cool.

The community that I am involved with "The Post Geek Singularity " is so welcoming and so supportive as well. So far I have 144 subs on my channel and over 3,000 views and over 143 hours of watch time, slowly I will get there to become monetized on my channel, I am in no rush because I am enjoying the ride.

...this is it. The biggest animation error I’ve ever seen.

Across making 3,976 SDM posts, I’ve never encountered a scene this ridiculous before, anywhere.

It starts out unassuming enough. The alien boy and his nonexistent pants share a touching moment with Optimus Prime.

“Every time you look through your telescope at the stars, you’ll know your friends are out there.”

Aw, isn’t that heartwarming. A well-executed moment.

Now, he just needs to set the Autobots in the ship, but… wait, where are they?

WHOA

Poof! Magically-conjuring Autobots!

And… their legs are… dipping into the alien boy’s hand? It’s all sort of–

Whoooaaa, legless Optimus! I guess he just phased through the side of the ship–

…

…

…wait, why did a giant blue ear just materialize through the wall?

The– GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

REALITY-BENDING NON-CORPOREAL ALIEN CAT FLOATING HEAD ABOMINATION

THIS IS IT

THIS IS FINALLY IT

AFTER FOUR YEARS OF LOVINGLY RIFFING ON ANIMATION

THIS IS THE FREAKIEST THING I HAVE *EVER* SEEN

Thank you, Transformers. You have given us all the gift of beautiful, unfathomable fear, and we are forever in your low-budget debt.

[scoobydoomistakes]

…this popped up in the SDM feed again and, masochistically, now I want to go back to the madness

Whenever I feel burned out, there’s always something new to reignite the “…wait, what the heck?” fire.

Appreciation of Physical Media and its purpose in our lives.

So , lately I have been on something of a physical media buying kick and as far back as I can remember I have bought physical media. From vinyl albums, cassette tapes , cds, books, VHS , dvds and blu rays .  Now that is a pretty wide spectrum of physical media.  Lately it just happens to be blu rays and 4k blu rays. 

I am someone who appreciates the special features of a blu ray, whether it be a commentary track or behind the scenes goodness. These are the things that enhance my movie watching experience. I am also a fan of box sets, if a film collection has a box set that is even better. Cause not only are you getting the full series of films but sometimes if you are lucky those box sets come with a trinket or something cool. Which in someway will make that set limited or even just fun to have in general . 

As an imagination connoisseur I love physical media on so many levels.  Should you lose the internet you will always have a physical copy of that film on hand if you want to watch it. Sure, I love streaming movies and shows on line but there is nothing like unwrapping a blu ray or box set for the first time and lookin it all over. Just taking in that you finally have that holy grail of film that you have been looking for. There is only a 1st time to enjoy that moment of looking at something for the 1st time. Once that 1st time is gone....it is gone. 

Physical media means a lot to a lot of people. It means building that collection of films that you have always wanted. That collection of films that make you want to on a rainy day or even snowy day do a full blown movie marathon day. Sit down and just veg out on some of Hollywood’s or the world’s finest works of art , that being film.  From a western to a gangster film to action or comedy . Maybe even a drama or superhero film., one thing is for certain ...you have the means and way to make it all work out.  From a recent release to a classic from the golden age of film you. yes YOU have the power to make it happen. 

That is what being an imagination connoisseur is all about. Letting that film or film on physical media take you to a place of total immersion into that world of the film and everything you know in our world ceases to be for that moment in time . 

We tend to look for ways to collect things and physical media just happens to be one. Nowadays a lot of the major studios are just looking for ways to stop selling physical media because they see it as “losing streaming customers” and that is the way some studios feel they can make money now, thru streaming apps such as Netflix . Prime Video , Disney + , CBS All Access ( Soon to be Paramount + ) and so forth. There are so many streaming services with so much to watch it is amazing that we have the time we do to watch anything. I grew up in an age where television or even watching films was appointment viewing . If you missed something then you would have to way til it repeated. Now you can watch what you want , when you want at your own leisure . We only had 2 major channels , public broadcast television and some UHF channels.  For a lot of people like myself physical media is a way of life and a way to share with other imagination connoisseurs about your range of genres and films that maybe your favorite . 

With the way the world is these days we really do need some sort of release. Since we can not set foot in to a movie theater at this time physical media is where it’s at. So we hold on to that which we all hold near and dear to our hearts.  So the next time you put on a blu ray or dvd just remember , not only are you supporting the work of a director or actor you may like , but also that of everyone who is behind the scenes on that film as well. If life is about little moments then certain scenes in films are what help fuel that need to create those moments. They make you laugh, cry, think. angry .  The world of emotions is your oyster. So go out or go online to your favorite store and find some physical media that you may enjoy or you think you might enjoy if you have never seen it. Trying something new never hearts. 

And so my fellow readers , as I draw this blog to a close tell me , what are some of your favorite films that you own on physical media and what memories if any do they give you or bring up. Be part of this conversation and maybe make a few friends along the way. share pics of your collection if you have any as well.

Do you remember that feeling of going to movies ? That feeling of walking into the cinema and waiting to see a film? I was thinking about this today. When I would go to the cinema I would go to the 1st matinee of the day and while waiting in line I would do the math to see if there was another film that would be starting still durning the matinee hours after the film I just watched , so I would do a double feature sometimes. Remember walking into the cinema and smelling that smell of popcorn ? I love that smell , I also love going and looking at the movie posters for films that were coming soon. I also remember the feeling of sitting in a theater waiting for the film to begin and noticing everyone sitting down to watch the movie. It is in this one moment that looking around , a bunch of strangers that no one knows sit down together and watch a film together and in that hour and half , 2 hours , sometimes almost 3 hours everyone sits there. No one thinks about if someone is black, white , gay , straight, bi, trans, asexual , democrat or republican . They all sit there and just enjoy the same topic of film . Sometimes one wonders if we will ever set foot inside a movie theater again and maybe it will happen. It will just take time . Will it be normal like before ? No. Like everything in life things change. We must all adjust to change , this has been happening since the dawn of time and even though no one really likes change, we must some how adjust to the changes and make them the new normal. I miss all those feelings and smells and the gathering of like minded people who are themselves imagination connoisseurs . We give up those few hours to our imaginations and let the cares of the world fade away. Remember everyone you meet has a story that you have yet to hear and all you have to do is.....listen.
