Hey! I was curious to know your opinions and expectations for the live action httyd movie?

Hi Silly!! Its been a while good to see you!! Sorry if this is a bit of a downer bc.

I genuinely hate it. I understand that Dean Deblois is working on it despite previously denouncing these kinds of remakes because Universal was gonna make it regardless of his involvement, so he might as well try, but that doesn't change that it is a soulless cashgrab. The costumes and lighting look cheap in many scenes, lots of them are also very cluttered – breaking very basic rules of cinematography in how to frame something you want to be the focus, despite so many scenes being almost shot for shot with the original and basically having an existing template to work off of, it's often difficult to tell where you're supposed to be looking, they are very poor at whatever it is they are trying to convey.

Speaking of shot for shot, I will never not think Especially in a case like this, that the storyboarders, writers, character designers Etc, the people who originally brought us these iconic moments aren't getting a single cent for their work being reused is disgustingly greedy.

It especially feels like salt in the wound when in interviews they're going on about this improving on the original, making it safe for newer audiences, I.E people who wouldn't typically watch it as they don't believe animation is a valid storytelling medium for anyone over the age of 10, despite the only real difference being new actors and seemingly a few one off additional scenes in a desperate attempt to act like they're doing Something new and like this isn't just one big move at pushing the franchise further into modern relevancy for the theme park.

Also Dreamworks recently began outsourcing their animation so it's cheaper, and they are Absolutely doing that here seeing as they are an animation studio and have never made a live action film prior, the use of cgi looking. Like That is because it's cheap and easy labor and they can push non-unionized workers overseas more than would be allowed by American union standards.

I do not have high expectations for this movie. I think it is a very lackluster attempt and trying to get on the bandwagon Disney started with their remakes, and it's disappointing it seems to be working.

The only possible upside is that with Nico Parker as Astrid, and Julian Dennison as Fishlegs, they are breaking their odd and interesting pattern of having Poc/Ethnically ambiguous (but Not like our good white protagonists! I will never be over how Drago Bludvist's actual design notes boil down to that.) characters only allowed exist within the universe as villains.

The first movie isn't even out yet and they already announced the sequel, it is very clear they believe the film is going to succeed and seeing as I've seen Many people claim they Don't think httyd needed a remake and don't particularly Like this, but in the same breath say they'll go and see it anyway, it might. And that's honestly disappointing because this movie only exists due to corporate greed and the fact they're betting on people not having very high standards for what they spend their money on.

Due to specifically how again this is a cashgrab, the original artists are getting no compensation or even credit from what I've seen, for their work being reused, I can't in good faith support this movie. And for the people who are indecisive in saying they'll watch anything new httyd related but also don't Love this, if you decide to watch it, even if just out of curiosity, just pirate it please. You as a consumer hold Some power you have the final say on what you spend your money on this movie doesn't have to succeed please just let it fade into irrelevancy. You deserve better, the people who worked on the original movie deserve better, hell the fucking actors deserve better than to be in such a half assed product. We need to start actually holding these multi-billion dollar studios to higher standards, and letting this flop is a good way to do that.

Like show them the original movie is enough, and we don't need something they're just betting on for a quick and easy cashgrab.

To film the livestream you need to disable hardware acceleration in your browser so you can screenshot/record the screen, then when I did it for wad I just used obs to record and that worked well, obs is pretty self explanatory just Google a basic tutorial to use it. There shouldn't be too much hassle!

thank you! when using obs do i have to be on the same screen always or can i record one tab and switch between tabs

I'm very good at writing icy, pristine, curt, useful information-only emails. You can't get that with ChatGPT. A LLM only knows corporate HR buzzword slop. A LLM can only write for illiterate MBAs who desperately need their egos stroked. A LLM can't feel hate, or spite.

To the geniuses who design blood glucose monitors,

if you're gonna design a product that runs on button cell batteries that only come in safety packaging, for the love of all that is good in this world, don't just stop at making the battery compartment spring loaded. Include a battery status monitor that gives a warning before someone needs to get their fasting blood sugar and has potentially already stabbed themselves and wasted a test strip.

Just a little beep after the last viable test will do.

Yes, I know CGMs exist. They are, at the time of writing, not accurate enough to do away with their predecessors unless someone is only diabetic and taking only diabetes medication. And 35 bucks a week. And defeated by bluetooth errors.

Kind regards, Massive side eye,

Done with this shit

can you please talk a bit more about Akeela? She seems like a really cool character and I want to know more.

Akeela is just about equal to Nabi with how much I love her--

Her powers manifested younger than most, when she was about three years old. Destructive abilities like pyrokinesis are heavily monitored, so her parents were immediately offered a choice:

Pay for an expensive tuition at a private boarding school for Empowered like her, or give her up to the city. They were unable to afford the cost of the school.

She signed a contract with Titanium at 10, and officially debuted as a sidekick at 13, though she was running missions long before then. Heroes don't officially become part of a team until they're 18, as the environment is viewed as too dangerous for minors. Officially, kid heroes are restricted to "safe" duties, like directing emergency services, providing casualty care, and helping out during a natural disaster. Off the record though, their workload can be about the same as an adult hero, and Akeela is no exception.

Some more Akeela fun facts:

- She (14) is taller than Sarah (25), and is very amused by this.

- She's easily among the top 100 most powerful heroes in the city.

- She has no tolerance for spicy food, but feels like she should due to her powers, and tries to eat it anyway to build up a tolerance.

- Punk rock in style, music taste, and actions (she wants to dismantle corporate brick by brick)

big lizzy Nonna and her stand ability, "Bloody Mary Morning."

It's a short-range stand. The roses follow their victims and when pricked, causes paralysis.

It's capable of growing herbs, good for cooking. However when Nonna is in combat mode, it grows the prickly stuff.

go for it op, your video card will love yet another monitor. ran out of video outputs? use an integrated one in addition to the external one. ran out of that one too? get another gpu. no more PCIe slots? get displaylink adapters. ran out of USB ports? get another computer, connect them to a single network, and use barrier to be able to use a single keyboard + mouse to control them both so you can have more monitors. no space on the desk? get a stand for multiple monitors so you can have monitors over other monitors.

ran out of space for icons on your desktop? excellent opportunity to get another monitor. too many compile errors? more monitor time. needing to keep too much things in your short term memory? another monitor time. conversations happening in multiple discord servers at the same time? excellent opportunity to get a dedicated discord monitor.

monitors monitors monitors monitors monitors nom nom nom I love more screen space and so does my electricity provider

no need to minimize windows if I can put them on another monitor

monitors monitors

imagine the opportunities you can have with yet another monitor

i hate how much a third monitor would improve my general workflow bc even two monitors is too much i wish i could be happy with one lmao
