tangential thought off "the Bakshi LotR comes this close to being great especially because it cannot do what usually pisses me off about Bakshi films."
A few years ago I'm watching Wizards with @obscurestar and it includes an exclusive interview with Ralph which is more entertaining than the movie. He's got this shirt open with this generous tuft of chest hair poking out, and the interview's classic Ralph. I forget most of it now but the parts I remember are him being unusually self-congradulatory about how wonderful he was to hire a Black animator at that point in time, and how he wanted Wizards to be a more urban fantasy that kids could relate to, not like Disney films which had, and I quote "horses eatin' apples in a field or some shit."
@topaz yap yap!
@GraySpots Thanks! I actually did wind up including an elf in today's stuff by sheer chance and should probably do tieflings at some point.
re: length cut
@porsupah @zebratron2084 The Haile Berry Catwoman movie was actually not terrible imho - it was definitely about the "nothing better is on in the motel, may as well watch this" level, and sorta like the Dolph Lundgren He-Man in terms of an okay movie about a character only kinda vaguely sorta like what you were hoping to see.
re: length cut
@zebratron2084 @porsupah Rock and Rule was brilliant. I never saw The Devil and Daniel Mouse, is it even vaguely as awesome?
@XyzzySqrl it’s that subtle difference between saying WotC is evil, and saying Rockwell Collins is evil.
@XyzzySqrl ehhhh… Jack Dorsey is kinda involved but he’s small e evil; you get the impression Bluesky mostly just wants their user base to be white male tech sector folks, and that’s not really happening. Whereas with Twitter, it’s real obvious that you really aren’t wanted, and an openly transphobic antisemite who makes more yearly than all of Australia, plus his fashy creditors, are why.

@porsupah initially read as Accounts Receivable, was very confused
@hi_cial did the part with the old lady at the end get you to cry, too?
@ziphi the college degree
Mastodon users diss Bluesky users more than Bluesky users diss Mastodon, and I can’t speak for Threads, but Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter users all have a low opinion of Twitter. Which I mean makes sense; neither Masto nor Bluesky has one of the most loathsome dudes on earth presiding over making it something you actively hate.
I see it’s Cold Call o’clock in Offshore Recruiter Land.
In case you were wondering no, I can’t afford to work for under $20, no I can’t commute to Tacoma on a daily basis, no I am not available at 0600 to field calls and no, I’m not a network administrator, or whatever completely extraneous thing you’ve got going. Call me when you REALLY have jobs.
