Did the Castles of Burgundy special edition have AI art?

I don’t know who specifically you’re talking about but it could be so many people

Black and white photo of Paul Reubens in his teens. He is sitting on a wicker chair, wearing a tank top and jeans. He has longish hair and wears wire rimmed glasses.

Black and white closeup photo of Paul Reubens as a young man. His hair is shorter and he’s wearing a button down shirt. I think he’s a little older than in the previous photo. Maybe college?

Rewatching Pee Wee As Himself. Paul Reubens was kind of hot when he was young right? It’s not just me?

So hilariously weird! So much bizarre internal lore to parse out. The last two are my favorites tbh

I started watching them because of RiffTrax and now I unabashedly love them

A bad movie about a woman is OK with the movie dudes if it's not actually from the woman's point of view, like BARB WIRE or CHERRY 2000 or countless others. TANK GIRL? There's enough male gaze, they'll grudgingly allow it. GINGER SNAPS? They haven't heard of it. TWILIGHT? eww they might get cooties!

I was just thinking about that (happened a few years ago) because I'm in the middle of a TWILIGHT rewatch. I have such affection for these terrible movies.

Shitty movie full of explosions and gore: Yes! We love bad movies!! So fun!!! Shitty movie about a young woman with sexual agency: WTF what is wrong with you!!!

I have never been more aware of the casual misogyny of almost everyone I knew on social media as when I posted that I was watching EVENT HORIZON then two days later that I was watching TWILIGHT

btw, if you think calling a man "womany" is in any way funny I hate to break it to you but you suck

Does anyone know, when RiffTrax goes through an old riff and removes the ugly "jokes" do they just remove, or replace with new material? I didn't notice any gaps in the pace of the TWILIGHT riff.

I heard RiffTrax has been revisiting old riffs to remove problematic jokes. Rewatched TWILIGHT yesterday and there seems to be way less ugly homophobia. I hadn't watched that one in years because the endless ranting about Edward being "womany" was so uncomfortable. This time only a few like that

The answer would be different tomorrow (or probably in a half hour :) but right now it’s this:

My “month from heck” is almost over: the election is done, 4 theme shows in a row is done, rushing to get a quilt done is done, I just have to do the podcast the next couple of days and then I get my life back! And the oakleaf hydrangeas are about to leaf out 😍

I'm asking because if the sync has been improved I would buy it again to get a more usable copy

Has the sync been improved? I have this and like a lot of the early Just The Jokes it keeps drifting out of sync, I have to adjust every few minutes throughout the movie

I think I must have some kind of sensory issue, I have a really hard time with things that jingle like that. Even if they don't make noise, the feeling of it. I can't wear bracelets either
