(And pretend that the Red Queen syndrome is a good thing. It seems like they could mix something like this up with crop circles or talking about crop circles for some extra flare. But no. Dig site here and a dig site over there and your head is just spinning and still no revelation of anything like a writing system in the Americas. Or if Gavin Newsome can tell us why the plumed serpent is a predictor of him becoming the next president. I mean if the Anasazi or some 8000 year old site in the American southwest showed that the Indigenous people had 3D mapping of the hippocampus region of the brain then maybe I would listen to this.)

Last post by Rev. Powell - July 23, 2026, 08:21:34 PMI don't think I can do one every year right now, but the interval is shrinking dramatically. We may not have to get into future based sci-fi films at all.

If your account is connected to a workplace/school you won't get the label. If your account is private, the label is now anavoidable unless you crop or use photoshop tools.
of course not.

QuoteYes — that "AI‑Generated" label is a newer addition. It's automatically applied to visuals created by generative models to make clear that the artwork wasn't photographed or manually illustrated. It's part of a broader transparency standard across creative tools, helping viewers distinguish between human‑made and machine‑made imagery.
It doesn't affect the design itself — just signals provenance. Some creators even keep it visible as a stylistic badge, while others crop it out for mock‑ups or concept decks.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - July 23, 2026, 05:17:22 PMTHE SET-UP (1949):
The weakest thing about this early Robert Wise film is that it's a 40s Boxing Noir and therefore nothing that happens will possibly surprise you unless maybe you are 3 years old and have never seen a movie before. Therefore it's slow to get started, though the first half does build up a respectable aura of foreboding and dread. Robert Ryan plays an over-the-hill (35yo!
) boxer who (of course) takes a longshot match against an up-and-coming young tyro, even though (obv) his long-suffering lady is begging him to give up the gloves permanently, and also (it goes w/o saying!) his manager has agreed that Ryan will throw the match....... though (in one small novel twist) he's so positive that Ryan will lose hopelessly to the kid that he doesn't even bother to let Ryan know that he's supposed to go down! 
Ah well, what's an angry mobster between a manager and his palooka?
Wise stages and shoots the whole thing very well, and many shots (particularly towards the end) look like gorgeous stark panels straight out of Frank Miller's "Sin City" or Jim Steranko's "Red Tide". Ryan is, of course, the ideal actor to play a depressed, doomed, yet defiant noir hero. He automatically exudes authenticity onscreen w/o doing much of anything.
But, he does do a lot - if absolutely nothing else, he commits to a grueling central boxing match that commands something like a third of the film's running time and leaves both opponents (but Ryan especially) mauled to a gooey sweaty pulp. I think boxing isn't like other choreographed onscreen violence - an actor can pull a punch but the other actor is still getting clipped or socked in the ear and face and breadbasket over and over - in this case for 25 minutes. Although I have no interest in athletics IRL, often sports look like fun onscreen - not here. Watching THE SET-UP reminds me I'd never want to go 6 rounds in an actual ring.
The supporting cast all look people you've seen in a dozen other movies, but I only recognized two names - Audrey Totten and Darryl Hickman. There are two fun cameos, though - infamous crime scene photographer "Weegee" as the timekeeper and Leo's Dad Bernard Gorcey, who played Louie the dime store clerk in scores of Bowery Boys flicks, exchanging a couple lines w/ Totten. 3.5/5 I therefore clocked THE SET-UP as far and away the best film Gorcey Sr ever appeared in - then was reminded he was also in THE GREAT DICTATOR!

Accidental purchase, thought I'd bought the original.
switched off after barely 15 minutes. I just can't deal with the way so many new horrors are made. total non-atmosphere zones that all feel identical. murky green brown orange camera filters. mumbling voices. I give up.

I've seen the trailer. There's a different one based on the Grinch. But both of them are different producers.Quote from: claws on July 20, 2026, 09:45:28 PMQuoteThe Popeye film is not included.
It's the only one I'm mildly interested in watching.
this is the only one I've seen, and they really did nothing with it, other than hiring a big warehouse and making a random horror film... it feels like a rough 'demo' of a horror film.
I saw there was another one out on dvd already, POPEYE'S REVENGE... and just looking on imdb there are 2 more coming: POPEYE REQUIEM, and POPEYE: RESURRECTION.
(these guys are obviously studying my 'Words that sequels use in their titles...' thread)
it's kind of forgettable but vaguely watchable!
edit, by the way, I am talking about POPEYE THE SLAYER MAN... I think.
there seem to be multiple movies and I don't know if they're all connected or which ones are / aren't
