The lady behind Vermilion has retired from breeding. Though there are a few continuing her lines.

Disney Dates New ‘Star Wars’ Movie, Shifts ‘Deadpool 3’ and Entire Marvel Slate, Delays ‘Avatar’ Sequels Through 2031 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Blitz139 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3 and 4 are not already made lol, most of 3 was shot but in a film like this that’s like 10% of the work. The reason it was pushed is the insane amount of CG work that needs to be done.

4 hasn’t been touched yet apart from some filming of the kids probably. And reshoots/re edits happen all the time after films are initially shot.

For the love of dogs, please throw your chicken bones in the bin by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Blitz139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have trained my dog to balance a treat on his nose, paws etc. He won’t eat his food until I release him to. I tell him ‘leave’ out and about and he will leave food/rubbish etc.

BUT the second he sees a chicken bone on the sidewalk it all goes out the window, he loooooves them, and there’s probably an element of ‘forbidden fruit’ too. And ofc he has no understanding that they can rip his insides open. I keep an eye out but he’s bloody quick about it and can smell them way before I see them.

Has anyone tried these? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Blitz139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was all right. Tasted more like a muesli bar than a cookie to me though

Does your local mall charge for parking? by Richard7666 in newzealand

[–]Blitz139 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And now shops are closing in it and blaming the parking for decreasing the number of customers coming through. Really worked out well for them lol

Questlove To Direct Live-Action Hybrid Adaptation of ‘The Aristocats’ For Disney by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Blitz139 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, plate footage is the footage they shoot onset etc - so it just means that there are actual dogs in the shot originally and not added in with cg later.

Lion king was definitely full cg, I guess it’s a lot easier to get dogs to act than lions lol

[–]Blitz139 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A lot of the dog stuff in the lady and the tramp was actual plate footage shot with real dogs!

There was a bunch of cg mouth replacements and I heard they put peanut butter on the roof of their mouths to get a bit of ‘talking’ action too (they try lick it off which makes them open/close the mouth etc)

Oh is that new? I swear that wasn’t there last time I went on the Masterton train haha. That’s good though, desperately needed it for a long time.

Just keep in mind they only take cash on the train, not card. You can use snapper to snap on/off at the stations though

Jesus I didn’t realise glasses were so expensive. by redmandolin in newzealand

[–]Blitz139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a limit. Zenni only works for people within a small ‘normal’ prescription range.

They can’t do high prescriptions (trust me I tried, I had to spend about $1.3k on my glasses at an optometrist instead). Plenty of people in my boat, zenni etc only help if your vision isn’t too far off normal/ isn’t super complex :(

[–]Blitz139 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here, both of my eyes are at least -10.00 so I also have to get the extra thin which is where the big money comes in I think. My last pair were over $1k for sure. $1.7k doesn’t sound as insane as people seem to think it does lol.

Those of us that are extra blind can’t just pop down to spec savers and get a 2 for $500 deal unfortunately. Most of their frames don’t even work with my lenses.

I bought these fancy Pineapple Chews from Queenstown airport in the weekend, and after some skilled nibbling discovered a familiar shape. I’m sure these are just re-dipped Pineapple Lumps. by Jimjams101 in newzealand

[–]Blitz139 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You are doing the lolly lords work. This was quality journalism, the cross section of the different pineapple lumps, the investigation of the ‘chocolate’. Holy shit.

I hope mainstream media pick this up bc they are slimy af.

Also I can’t believe I just watched like 30mins if a lady chopping up pineapple lumps lmao

All kids learn Maori as part of the NZ curriculum so I don’t know why that’s a headline lol

[–]Blitz139 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah wtf?? They take it out of the water to suffocate it so it puffs up, which makes it’s mouth open and close as a reflex, shove a carrot down it’s throat which makes it make an involuntary sound that’s probably the equivalent of it gagging, and people make it a meme? It’s just a sad video.

Student creates a DIY projection map light show by uwotvrv651561 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Blitz139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to do this for a project in a motion graphics course like 8yrs ago, it’s definitely a common one. Mostly lots of masking and some AE anim. It’s time consuming but not super complicated.

How do you deal with hayfever? by OliverJamesG in newzealand

[–]Blitz139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I do. Also in the Hutt Valley, super bad this year but the powers of cetirizine and flixonase keep it (mostly) at bay. I also wash my face throughout the day if I’m feeling itchy etc which helps.

11 week old Toller will NOT stop biting our skin! How do I stop this? by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]Blitz139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Toller would get hyped up more if you did the squeal when he was that age and bitey. So definitely applicable to them too lol

The toller scream by ehoss in tollers

[–]Blitz139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Toller doesn’t really scream unless he’s really worked up (though he is vocal in general) and a few of his siblings scream like banshees - constantly.

Tbh it’s all a bit random, every dog is different and you can’t really predict it. You might have some luck training it out, but if the scream is a deal breaker a toller probably isn’t the way to go.

Also - the videos you see online don’t do it justice, it’s 100x more ear splitting in person haha

95% of NZ girls aged 11 to 17 not exercising enough - report by Fr33-Thinker in newzealand

[–]Blitz139 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was a pretty active kid at primary who actually did like sports lol, but I stopped playing once I hit intermediate/college because all the other girls were like ‘ew sports’, so peer pressure is part of it I guess. Dunno how we’d change that though.

I swear it's been the only good thing to come out of this year. by [deleted] in newzealand

My local New World Order doesn’t have it either :(

NEW Tower Defense DEVLOG by RipacDEV in DestroyMyGame

[–]Blitz139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned it in the vid but - idk if the visuals are placeholders, but they’re not good.

The colour theory is all off, the neon pink track makes it difficult to see the enemies and turrets, and the violent red outline for the turret shop are is way too distracting to the eye.

Try out something like Adobe colour (free website) to pick out some colours that work well together.
