🇺🇸 Absolute chaos in NYC after the World Cup. Senegal fans lost it on the streets following their painful 3-1 thrashing by France in the Group Stage at MetLife Stadium. World Cup emotions hit differently, but why is it always them getting into a fight?

2001 A Space Odyssey (1968) is still the high point of sci-fi cinematography. Kubrick pushed it into the future by building tech that didn’t exist yet, including the rotating “centrifuge” set that let actors walk in circles while the camera stayed still.

Rourke’s defeat in Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) is quietly poetic. The obsession with power and immortality doesn’t just corrupt him, it literally consumes him. A villain undone by the very thing he couldn’t let go of.

It took years to bring this 3-minute animation to life. Fully hand-drawn. Self-funded. This is the first step into a massive sci-fi/fantasy mythos I’ve been building for a decade. Turn the sound up. 🧵

for lesbian visibility week have to say how incredible it is that pluribus has a lesbian lead character whose sexuality is not only integral to the plot, but richly deepens the themes of the story. rare on tv, and even rarer for big budget sci fi!

"I am What I am 2" was acclaimed by critics, scores 8.4 on Douban (China's IMDB), higher than the 1st film, but its box office is a failure. As with the 1st film, many trolls criticized the character designs/faces. Btw, social networks are one of the subjects of this new film.

For Walt Disney, Snow White was his biggest risk yet. He put all of his finances, both personal and corporate, into its success. If it had failed, it would have been the end of Disney. But it didn’t, and it made Disney what we know it to be today. However, the following three films, Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi, failed at the box office, and Walt was broke once again. Walt was always risking it all in search for something greater. Sometimes finding success, sometimes finding failure, but never giving up.
