bad acid reflux, I was kinda dumb and ate tomato stuff a few hours before bed.
Something that always gets me is the art credits in big movies. There's dozens of people working on motion, animation, etc. Each of these is an artist, so how many different stories are there about learning to make stuff, selling stuff at cons, having their own OCs or fan AUs, etc?
Sort of like when I look at apartment buildings and the diversity in all the lives I can imagine playing out there, just blows me away.
spoiler, Jurassic World, neeerrrrd
so they gave more screen time to the characters I really wanted to see, and one of them is a Stygimoloch.
Except the paleontologist who suggested there is no such thing as a Stygimoloch is Dr. Jack Horner, the film's scientific advisor.
HOWEVER the Stygimoloch character does act kinda like a little kid, so it's still up in the air. I thought that was really awesome!

okay so the same way Jurassic World was Blackfish only with dinosaurs, JW Fallen Kingdom was the anthropogenic climate change analogy movie.
One of the two big parts where the filmmakers make a dig at our Turd-in-Chief is, there's a little CNN scroller in the news story in which "President says he doesn't think dinosaurs originally existed" or something like that. As a fundie dogwhistle and complete bullshit, it's COMPLETELY what he would say.
Something that gets me is these articles where there's a $180 sandwich or something.
My really limited experience with actually rich people suggests that one of the big things you do with that much money is you get a REALLY AWESOME KITCHEN and it basically pays for itself in no time; really expensive meals are social things or on vacation.
Are there that many rich dudes out there who really are walking, breathing negative stereotypes? Or is this stuff for financial dick size contests or what?
Because I am a feeling and I will never end.
And I won't let you hurt my planet.
And I won't let you hurt my friends.
so I hadn't thought about this before but;
I think having Genioh Yamashirogumi's soundtrack really makes Akira to a not-small extent. The distance from being purely Japanese motifs fits the "this isn't the Japan where you're watching this movie," and yet it's NOT futuristic sounding at all - a little like how Star Wars' soundtracks tell you it's NOT science fiction, it's larger than life romanticism, Akira's soundtrack tells you it's about human conflict, growth and interaction.
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.
