Bad Movies / Re: Generate Movie Poster with...

Last post by claws - March 28, 2026, 09:58:20 AM

This is an 80s action concept using Grok's poster-to-video feature. I had another AI draft a 7-second fight choreography prompt for it, and the results were pretty good.
Grok handled the hit physics with a level of realism and natural movement.

A little brown is OK, but too much ruins the flavor to me. I like it gooey and yellow.

RIFFTRAX: HAND-CRAFTED ARTISANAL SHORTS: 10 shorts, over 100 minutes, so a good value. Most are aimed at kids and look like their from the late 60s and 70s, with one b&w number from the 50s. This collection was released on DVD back in the early days of Rifftrax, when they were near their peak (they've declined lately), and I always think they do a good job on shorts. Laughed out loud several times, more than most of their feature work. Includes the infamous (?) short about grass, which asks the intriguing question, "is corn grass?", then never answers it (spoiler: corn is grass). 3.5/5.

From a real Hal Warren unproduced idea. I don't think Warren could have afforded this production. Hell, I don't think Warren could afford this poster!

James Tolkan passed away Thursday.

James Tolkan, the character actor who expressed a disdain for "slackers" in the Back to the Future trilogy and portrayed Tom Cruise's no-nonsense commanding officer in Top Gun, has died. He was 94.

Tolkan died Thursday in Saranac Lake, New York, a family spokesperson announced.

Tolkan also played Napoleon and his look-alike in Woody Allen's Love and Death (1975) and was the crooked accountant known as Numbers who works for Big Boy Caprice (Al Pacino) in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy (1990).

Rest in peace, Mr. Strickland

Off Topic Discussion / Pizza browning

Last post by claws - March 28, 2026, 09:06:03 AM

We order takeout from one of our favorite pizza spots pretty regularly. The pies are usually great, but they never come with any cheese browning. When I bake a frozen pizza at home, I always go for that "golden leopard spots" look on the cheese — those little browned bubbles add so much flavor.

I know it varies by style, but I'm curious: what's your preference — a paler pie or some good browning on top? And how does your local delivery place handle it?

She married a guy named Howard! He's the same joker who somehow screwed up the endings to PRETTY IN PINK and SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL in diametrically opposite ways. Lea Thompson has some questionable judgment! 

She appeared in the recent-ish DINNER IN AMERICA, still playing a "MILF" 35 years after BTTF.

just took a sip of what I thought would be tea, from what was actually a mug of coffee.

 a weirdly disgusting experience even though I drink way more coffee than tea.

guess we subconsciously prime our tastebuds?
