Adam Savage's Tested Youtube channel is doing a series of videos right now on background props (any and all types of paper products, fake money, grocery items, etc). Apparently, up until recently, 1 company - Earl Hayes Press - has been responsible for production of these process for every major film for the past 100 years. The videos are really interesting if you're into that kind of stuff.
Here's the first video in the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TS6x8dK2u0
Solving the problem once and for all!
Musical episodes always take me out of the immersion of the show because I'm always trying to figure out who's actually a good singer and who was severely auto tuned to compensate.
I will say that overall I enjoyed the episode. The Klingons had me rolling, and I really liked the psuedo-science explanation for why everyone one was singing.
Timesuck. The long form, research based style is a refreshing departure from a lot of the content I consume most days. Plus, each week is a different topic, so you get a good mix of history, cults, serial killers, and a little bit of everything in between.
I hope they continue the movies with Children and God Emperor. Beyond that may be too much for regular audiences, but I really really want to see an on screen adaptation of Leto II
Holy shit, you want me to pick just one line from the best parody movie of all time?!
I guess if I were forced to pick, it would be:
"I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate."
"So what does that make us?"
"Absolutely nothing."
I can understand the hate. Mitch is one of the architects of the current political environment. Obstruct, shift blame, and stack the courts... he's been a leader in all of that. The world as a whole will not be worse off when he's gone.
I watched it last night. You hit the nail on the head - it was just like the first episode after the other reboots. Not a bad thing, and I enjoyed it. Still felt like Futurama and the writers continue to respect the continuity of previous seasons, which is something I always appreciate.
That brings back memories of my angsty highschool years
What's funny is I just had a conversation with myanager about how XR is still a niche market. Companies are actually trying to deploy mass management solutions for these devices. Google focusing on the core software and possibly making an Android-like OS for XR could be exactly what this tech needs to push it into mainstream like smartphones
Wasn't the CEO of Zoom a high level engineer for Cisco? I believe it was one of those situations where the executives weren't listening to where he thought the WebEx platform should focus on development and he thought "Fuck it, I'll do it myself"
