TIL the original TRON (1982) was not considered for a visual effects Oscar because the Academy felt the filmmakers had cheated by using computers.

War…war never changes

Part of the fuckery of this is that a lot of TRON’s most iconic visual effects weren’t done using computers. Like, at all. They just look like that because they were filmed on a high-contrast film called Kodalith, with backlit hand-painted animation cels layerered in there so everyone looks all glowy.

These are hand-painted cels! Even the zappy digital effects started on paper:

So by any standards TRON got fucking robbed and it’s an injustice our rotten, corrupt society will never live down

a while back my best friend linked me to a thread on homemade My Little Pony transformation hypnosis tapes

that’s a really loaded sentence so let me ease into it

they were like, hour long recordings you were supposed to lay down and listen to and focus on nothing else, that started off with some relaxation techniques then eased into like, “feel your hands becoming hooves. remember pinkie pie’s happy memories. imagine yourself literally becoming pinkie pie. imagine your pink mane. you are literally pinkie pie”

all with the goal of putting you in a mental state where you were convinced you were this cartoon pony. and it was full of people like “wow! this was so relaxing. i felt like i literally Became rarity”

the problem is that human brains are kind of, buggy? so people, especially if they listened to the tapes too much, started like, accidentally going to this mental state they’d created at random inopportune times. the thread was suddenly full of people desperate to know how to stop it because they were turning into rainbow dash in the middle of driving on a highway to work, or whatever

anyway, i’m just burdened with that knowledge forever, now. i think about it a lot

this post radiates unfathomable amounts of dark energy

this post is contemporary Lovecraft

I didn’t want to have to make a post about this, but i’m pretty pissed off at the moment.

I’m sure for people who have looked up “Mystery Skulls Animated” they’ve seen this 3 video compilation result that’s very high up in the search results. We have already sent out a copyright strike since last night so i’m hoping that will be the end of it, but if it’s not, please do not give this person who uploaded our videos your views, they have edited out all our credits and the video already has over 500k views which is absolutely stolen views and potential extra revenue for our VERY SMALL production team even though they have not monetize that stolen video. They also had a comment pinned earlier (before changing it) from people who thought they had made our videos. To the person who did this, I know you’ve seen our comments on your video to take it down and are actively ignoring that and gloating about how many new youtube subscribers you got on your twitter page. Putting one link in the description doesn’t absolve you of guilt that you stole our content and that was after people badgered you to do it.

You’re an asshole.

(BTW we do have a playlist made up for the videos so this makes me even angrier.)  

Also one thing I forgot to mention, this reupload has effectively stunted growth of views on ALL 3 VIDEOS, especially for Hellbent which was at a steady pace until this upload happened. I made sure to check. So we’re barely gaining anything in comparison at the moment. Even with a frickin’ ready made playlist which is already super convenient. >->

if that sewer clown makes himself an image of your worst fear before he eats you, i could kick his ass. what’s he gonna do turn into the physical manifestation of being abandoned by your closest friends? gonna turn into an ooky spooky visual representation of catastrophic failure and loss? jokes on you dumbass the only thing im afraid of is myself

This is an actual plot point in the book though as I recall, he doesn’t like hunting adults usually because hes a) a cowardly parasite and b) Children have very tangible fears that can be easily manifested physically while adults generally have quite abstract or conceptual fears about the future, or events, or feelings.

pennywise aint shit

Abstract fears have reached the youngins these days, pussywise gonna starve
