Idk what to do about the bleeding, I won't last another two weeks. I don't want to see a doctor because they'll probably want to do an intimate search and take my blood to test for anaemia.
I got a note last night from a friend of mine He writes in this note that he's afraid of what he might have to do in order to save his reality, as I save mine
Technology is advancing so rapidly that soon, it will be impossible to tell the difference between what's real and what's not. This has huge implications for our security, privacy, and understanding of reality, as technology like this could be used for reality engineering. We must look into a reliable form of authentication and digital signing, possibly from a decentralized blockchain.
who ever is into lobster is fucked up. those poor creatures get burnt alive and feel pain you are sick if you even eat lobnsters much less want to open such a restaurant. A video showed the lobsters feel so much pain they even chew off their limbs to get away from that water. its sick. Kafka you agree?
Watched the Michelle Yeoh movie last night, from last year. It got a bunch of awards and nominations already.
I's called like anything anywhere all the time or something. It was very good, very well made and executed.
However I did notice something that irked me and got me thinking.
There is an emotional scene where the main character and the secondary protagonist are having a meaningful moment and the lighting effect they chose to make it "surreal" was basically "flat planar orbiting changing colors", like a triangular "ring light" of LEDs where the light pattern travels along the edges of the triangle while changing colours.
During the scene you can very obviously see the reflections of these lights in both actors' eyes/glasses, like you can see the triangular LED light pulsing and nobody CGId it out.
There were other small production aspects I noticed but this one completely pulled me out of the movie.
This is the kind of critical "sweater unravelling" detail that an old time Hollywood director would even have dedicated a whole day to eliminating by getting on the lighting guy's ass, or if it wasn't possible then it would specifically be marked for fixing in post with CGI.
It would be like a baseline quality expectation, leaving it in would be considered exceptionally amateurish. But it's not fixed in this critically acclaimed and highly successful film.
There is something to he said for how production tools and processes have been made more accessible and opened up filmmaking to more people than ever, brought down the costs for making an amazing looking production etc. But the tools for convenience and accessibility can also enable and allow laziness.
