People actually don’t like people who know and have accepted themselves. There’s a compulsion to make you doubt this.

What yall really are saying is that you want these things to be BIG DEALS every time.
Sorry, but that was never going to be sustainable.
Every year’s been a “make or break year” for superheroes since 2022 according to you guys.
These projects have been around for over 80 years.
And they’ll be here for more decades.
Let’s all get a grip.🤣
there are (of course) over 2000 digital vfx shots! Every exterior ship shot (sorry to disappoint but we did not travel to space for this production) and plenty of set extensions indoors, and the in camera vix still require removing puppeteers adding arms etc. Half of Rocky's performance is cg animation with invention and character in every shot. While there were no green screens there was plenty of roto and grays and seamless work by digital artists!
First Christopher Miller clarifies, now Phil Lord. I am extremely grateful for them putting out this information.
Chris Miller: Some clarification here: "no green screen" doesn't mean "no VFX". There were, in fact, thousands of VFX shots in the film (2018!) Green screen is sometimes used in lieu of building sets or figuring out locations/lighting in advance, which can be noticeable if not done carefully, and is something we didn't want to do. We built the entire interior of the Hail Mary ship - but within the ship, there were still wire and puppeteer removals and ceiling replacements, etc. When Ryan is outside on the hull of the ship, we shot him in front of a black background for space and a shifting hue background when he was up against the aurora of a planet which allowed for truer interactive light on him than a green screen would. The wide space exteriors and spaceship shots were entirely digital and beautifully done by ILM. Rocky was a seamless blend of puppetry and animation from Framestore. And other great work from many more. It really does take a village and we had the best of the best on our side.
you can all stop asking me to comment now
"Project Hail Mary" (2026)
Screenshot from Variety article: “ 'Project Hail Mary' Director Says 'There's No Green Screen in the Movie Whatsoever' but Clarifies There's 2,018 VFX Shots: 'Not a Single Green or Blue Screen Was Used By Zack Sharf”
I saw this Variety headline and the mini @tvaziri.com, who lives in my head, laughed.
What was the reason for a door of that size?!!
She just kept walking getting smaller!! 😭😭😭
What a life.
Read this. Whenever we make progress there are Bernard LaFayette’s doing the work.
And there are Bernard LaFayette’s today, in Los Angeles, in Chicago, in Minneapolis, & across the country.
On the House floor, I was proud to shout out Andrés Acebo, the 13th President of New Jersey City University.
From steering NJCU back from a fiscal crisis to expanding opportunities for Hudson County students, his leadership reflects his resilience and deep community roots.
The accuracy got me ON THE FLOOR. The knees sounding like a shootout especially 😭
People are way too excited about the GOP infighting, which isn't going to help them grow a conscience or a pair. They're still ghouls who want to sink the boat further on working class people. They're still loyalists to the regime in power. They're not for you because of small implosions.
Trump with the Sephiroth bars.
People voted for this.🤷🏿♂️
this is something I can stand with. right on.
Once upon a time, this was criticized for afraid to be more comic booky and being “too grounded.”
But this has been memory holed by rampant nostalgia now.
All the this fake nerd bitching for clout and they’re all gonna watch the show.
Lara BEEN Croft.
“We are judged by what we do…”
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
Kristi Noem’s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and we’ll never forget it.
But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.
Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.
Fetterman's whole thing now is just triggering the libs until he loses his next primary race by 27 points. Hope he has fun!

Mr. Mullin may be the penultimate moron in the U.S. Senate, out-thinking only the husk that is Senator Tuberville, but helped by enough lip filler and hair extensions, he can be augmented with the intimate advice and constant companionship of Cory Lewandowski, a committed consigliere to DHS.
I like this album more than anything they did post “Atomic Bomb” until very recently.
