When Guillermo del Toro had a practical effect fish-man suit in The Shape of Water but used cgi to make the eyes look more real.... he had the right idea.

Practical effects are the meal and cgi is the spice. Both important. One sustains me, fulfills me. The other adds flavor and depth. But serve me a plate of spices and nothing else and I will revolt.

cgi should be used to enhance practical effects, not replace practical effects

ghost rider what you did to that iguana was fucked up dude

More importantly, given that Ghost Rider can canonically only scourge the souls of sinners, what sins had that random-ass lizard committed?

had a shit day yesterday and ended up going bonkers insane on the wikipedia entry for soup. did you guys know that the original french word "restaurant" meant a type of soup!!!!! i know the word is difficult to pronounce for non-speakers (ppl here in germany have trouble with it too) but try to think of it as a form of "restore." and now youre eating a "restorant." something that's supposed to restore your energy. that's more or less how the word is pronounced, because that's the type of soup it was!!!!!! and then in 1765 a guy in paris opened up a shop where you could eat restaurant and other places started to copy it and call themselves restaurants!!! and now every time you eat anywhere youre AT SOUP!!!!!!! arent humans so fucking good i love it here. my body hurts so much but i am no longer crying about it because there will always be someone somewhere in the world who desperately wants to help me with soup

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AT SOUP

WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE RESTAURANT

A prequel series that slowly but steadily stops making any sense. At first there are minor continuity errors, but only to the degree that could be put down to imprecise language or misleading statements in the original, then gets worse and worse until by the final episode the main character of the original series has never been born, the antagonist is already dead, and the worldstate is totally different from how it was at the start of the original

I was watching Clone Wars and thinking how fucking funny it would have been if in one episode Anakin just fucking died

happy that we're raising awareness but you can't make a post about this without mentioning that they collaborated for the sole reason of combining their last names like this

Big fan of all those other purple links and how “Associated prime” is untouched.
