@topaz I should probably NOT link the worst fight choreography I've seen in a movie, where the opponents are kinda randomly slashing and stabbing at points only vaguely near each other.
@topaz Nope, the skeletons are composited in! They're about 1/6 scale.
@topaz Yeah; if you have anything interacting with live action you can't cheat, and you have to draw/move stuff 24 times each second. All this is Harryhausen himself animating (as well as he did the sculpting, made the armatures, etc) - so it's pretty incredible to me.
@topaz Here's the fight with the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts. This is from 1963 and for reference animated at 24 fps.
@topaz “I’m bad, and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There is no-one I’d rather be than me.” Gotta remember this one and gotta make myself say the whole quote even if my belief in it is real shaky.
@Kensan_Oni NÖS
Me: the track vents incredible frustration at how Reagan - and Republicans since - have completely sabotaged this country, yet we’re expected to play along like nice happy peasants when it’s our backs up against the wall
The Beasties: Sabotage is self mocking about us being too sunk in our role as “serious artistes” to accept our producer’s criticism
@D6016 big mood
coyote sing along hour, all caps

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
