extremely pumped that I'm back on @eyeoftheduckpod.com for the first time in over a month....to talk about Shrek

we make a lot of jokes about chet but i really legitimately believe a tom hanks / chet hanks father son buddy comedy would be an instant classic and bridge generational gaps and bring a ton of people back to theaters for studio comedies. i honestly think it could save cinema

Yes I think it’s based off Project M! It’s called Project Rex and it’s pretty new

this is a brawl hack called project rex and it may honestly be the best and most polished romhack ive ever played. and my new favorite way to play smash?

can you freaking believe this right now

i reached levels of gaming last night that you simply wouldn’t believe

nobody talks about how these are real images from Shrek (2001)

our long national nightmare is over

there’s a new 28 years out that’s supposed to be nuts

@dominicknero.bsky.social on the Mirror of Galadriel —

“It has the vision of fantasy; it has direct, unfiltered communication of the text; and it has [Jackson's trademark] old fashioned, practical effects, stagecraft horror... all of that together represents, to me, the full effort of this film”

it's movie 2 of our rings trilogy on @eyeoftheduckpod.com this week and man do i miss this era of digital effects. it seems so long ago! vfx artists were given the time and resources to actually produce miracles like gollum and they didnt even need to boil the ocean with AI to do it

something that keeps me hopeful is watching my toddler discover art. he loves making things. by the time he comes of age, ppl will have grown so sick of low-effort ai generated slop and fascistic advertising propaganda that the arts will be flourishing again. his generation is going to make it

2026 is here, which means it’s the 25th anniversary of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films! we’re dropping the first of our three FOUR-HOUR episodes on the trilogy today over on @eyeoftheduckpod.com 👑💍

the strategy to distract from the epstein files by starting an illegal war with venezuela is so shamelessly obvious it's hilarious. how braindead does he think we are? he truly believes he can cancel out being a pedophile by being a war criminal. flawless plan mr president

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

made an opening crawl for this year in filmmaking

yes that works great too

in 2026 its no longer “buddy” or “bro” or “my guy”. this year we’re saying “my lord”

we've been doing @eyeoftheduckpod.com for 5 years now and it just so happens that episode 250 coincides with the release of my co-host's feature debut, Drink and Be Merry (which i edited!)

so this week, @adamvole.com and i are celebrating the movie with guest host @dodgyboffin.com! very surreal 🎅

dasher and dancer after santa chooses rudolf as his new favorite

beatles fans never talk about how even though ringo might have been the worst musician of the group, he was the only one who was pure of heart and humble enough to carry the ring to mordor. hence his name

gandalf was actually talking about increasing shareholder value when he said this

it’s crazy meeting people who tell you they’re “bi” because it’s like uhhhhh okay buddy unless you’re robin williams trapped inside a robot’s body i don’t think you’re the bicentennial man

it’s honestly insane how accurately tim and eric predicted the ai era with this sketch. a braindead corporate guy clocking in to generate completely pointless slop and the ai is so bad it ends up glitching out and destroying itself. also it inevitably just becomes porn. extremely prophetic

im developing a theory that there will be a berenstain bears / sinbad "shazaam" type situation where in a decade or so, people will mistakenly remember this movie being about mark wahlberg stopping the 9/11 planes

david zaslav retiring to his doomsday bunker after destroying thousands of careers, shuttering movie theaters everywhere, ruining physical media and film preservation as we know it, and hand-delivering one of the last remaining hollywood institutions to a tech company

why are you so mad that i keep butt dialing you. my ass wants to establish contact. you have been chosen. you should be honored

seeing a lot of posts about how funny it is that this random scene in pluribus is so gorgeous and colorful. just wanna say there's no reason tv (or film) cant look like this all the time. in fact i think this used to be the standard and this scene is only surprising bc the bar has gotten so low

something ppl who arent video editors probably dont know about is how projects in adobe premiere can become haunted. something will happen where everything just starts acting insane and there's no way of fixing it. youll get notes back on a video and have to be like, "cant do it. project's haunted."

woke up with this edit in my brain
