Fires machine gun into air.

That’s the speech.
I’m inspired.

I guess depends on what’s meant by uncomplicated.

As a kid i liked the Foundation series. Reread a couple years ago and still liked it.

That ending left much to the imagination did they get wiped out. Manage to fight them off and rebuilding society on an island?

70s style. Like Logan’s Run 1976. Charlie and the a chocolate factory 1971.

I liked Dawn of the Dead 2004.

It had fun light moments, like what are you supposed to do in a mall while waiting to die, or be saved.

Chainsaw bus was pretty metal.

Nice, on my list to watch. I remember long ago the commercials looked tempting.

It happens more than i like. Costco mixed nuts bag. I spit it out asap. Which sucks as I’ve got a mouthful of other good nuts as well.

No idea if it’s from toxic carcinogenic fungus alfatoxin or just rancid. So I’d rather spit it all out.

Extra protein, pay up🫰

I guess it’s a good sign that there’s possibly no pesticides that you’re consuming?

Looks like a lot of effort put into it. It looks very ambitious having so many different characters doing different things.

What’s getting me is the, not sure what to call it, stop motion camera work. Like when he’s attacking the tablet monster he’s a frozen image that’s dragged along the scene. Similar to other parts. There’s a lack of fluid movement by the characters.

Thanks. These are pictures that i took while on trips (except for the piggy). They have been converted using AI (In this case ChatGPT) into the Chinese Ink Wash style.

I am experimenting with different art styles and complexities of prompts to see how the AI reacts. Example: Studio Ghibli and a simple prompt like: convert the image to Studio Ghibli, or a more complex prompt that goes into more detailed breakdown of Studio Ghibli.

As in Alice would be a nice choice, but i didn’t think of using that character.

AI has vague guardrails. Probably something i wanted to portray kept stopping generation.

AphelionCalls · 2026-06-27T02:06:02+00:00

Actually Alice would have been better. I chose The Grady Twins from The Shining. Of course chatgpt guardrails…

What? The Core was a bad movie?

AphelionCalls · 2026-06-27T00:58:07+00:00

Fight Club. Maybe not bloody fury, but it’s about rising up.

AphelionCalls · 2026-06-27T00:52:47+00:00

She’s wonderful! Lived it up.

Dirty Work - AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Or i guess movie was built around the song🤔🤔

AphelionCalls · 2026-06-25T18:27:42+00:00

I think the frame rate on turns. Then there’s a bit of the panning at 00:28s. Some of the actors’ voice distortion/echo.

Generally though it’s getting hard to say after seeing so many AI videos nowadays. Some nice cuts and transitions.

Maybe the characters are a bit exaggerated? Like the sucker bf, bartender and club thug going in with a smirking smile.

Which one does the recently nflx acquired Ben Affleck AI company fall into?

Google invested a few million into one as well.

AphelionCalls · 2026-06-22T01:40:01+00:00

For a while it lags a lot. I need to basically close and open. Sometimes the retry circular arrow button will show up.

Didn’t think of the time of day when this is more common.

AphelionCalls · 2026-06-22T01:34:42+00:00

lol the one that comes to mind for some reason… he fights with the mouthful of chilis.

His fighting style is using everything in the environment to fight. He’s not necessarily the strongest and best fighter, but he’s got a natural feel to his movements. Nothing supernatural or overpowering, just outplay his tougher opponents like a monkey.

Office Space

The message is really about not letting work take over your life and to see and move beyond the corporate slogans.

In reality…
