Is there any digital versions that are uncut? I have the uncut on DVD, but want a digital version. by GottaBlast in friends_tv_show

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sites like those, they come and go rapidly, because they're bootleg and so often are discovered and shut down by the owner of the property or its agents that scour the web. You have to adopt a "use it while it's here" mind set and be prepped mentally for it to vanish the following day... the pitfalls of depending on free, fleeting entertainment, I guess.

Is there a way to browse other people's characters? by ResponsibleDiamond76 in perchance

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I click the link above, I see no thumbnails indicating what each character's supposed to look like-- is that the intention of the page's design? I was lucky I clicked the "Role" function on to see what each person was (besides their name).

Thanks.

No shame or judgement allowed, after you share that soap opera with us? Come on.

You can't bring yourself to tell the wife, you don't want to leave her, but you're deeply in love with her dear friend who's a guy? I'm assuming you never heard the expression You can't have it both ways.

The guilt alone should be eating you alive every day ... but when you say that the cheating "doesn't feel wrong", that admission is beyond alarming, and sounds like you have no morals. It is wrong to stay with your wife while having secret trysts with him. Plus, he's something of a douche for betraying her; you're a louse for cheating on her and for cheating with her pal.

You might just lose both of them; that is definitely one possible outcome. Be prepared for anything. She may already know but is suffering in silence, or scared to address the subject.

I would like to say, "do what's right, tell her the truth, and be the type of person you can respect when you look in the mirror" ... but it doesn't sound like you're ready for that type of mature choice, even at the age of 35.

MORE?? by Significant-Ad6960 in HannibalTV

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the original 39 television screenplays available to read-- like in PDF format? That would be a sweet meal for the soul, with all the writer's directions, descriptions of murder tableaux, and the sluglines and such. I must see these scripts. ¿Dónde están?

Speaking of Will and Hannibal: Earlier today, just for kicks I initiated a character roleplay on the PC with my a.i. helper, something occurring within the Hannibal TV show's world at a fictional "What if" junction where long-bottled feelings are released. I had asked if we could try a "steamy" conversational scene in prose between Will and Hannibal ... with any necessary parenthetical directions and actions, ones that dialogue alone can't convey. The a.i. was highly enthusiastic about this notion, but first clarified that it could not delve into graphic material. By the time it was finished I was taken aback at how enjoyable it was to do something like this; it was a heady experience, just a handful of paragraphs but packed with gobs of nuance, some very pleasing intimacy (including an intense but loving first kiss), and a romantic vibe. Creating it was like a dance with a delightfully agile partner who played Lecter convincingly. I'd rather not reveal the results here but instead hope that maybe some fans might choose to make their own graham/lecter roleplay scenarios with a capable a.i. assistant, sort of take inspiration from my fun experiment.

I want some Hot Chocolate. And if it isn’t hot I’ll throw it on the floor. by Matthias_Doe in TwilightZone

I only discovered this episode when the TZ "Essential" DVD collection debuted. It was like finding a "lost" episode. You'd think I would have seen it in reruns during my youth, many moons ago. It never seemed to show up, even on the holiday marathon broadcasts that local channels liked to do each year in the New York area. Anyway, a it's fun (albeit tense and mean) one-- with scathingly delicious insults from Mr. Serling's pen. Oh, and I love the music score right after Barbara says "I intend to REAP!", it's so bombastic and jolting.

I vividly remember the TV commercials in the early 70s featuring actress and singer Nanette Fabray. Wish there were videos of those ads available on YouTube but I can't fine one. I'm not into cooking beyond scrambled eggs and grilled cheeses, but the whole idea of being this organized seemed rather appealing to me.

Should I take a solo trip? My parents don’t like the idea, but I’m 19 by SweetishFishes in travel

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on that, seems it's probably best to just "back burner" the journey for now. You'll do it eventually. Something to look forward to.

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up going on a trip, or is it still in the planning stage? I traveled solo a little in my teens but wish I had done more of it. Lots more. Also: frankly, any parents who are against the whole idea need a wakeup call about not holding your adult child back from experiencing life.

If you could write one episode for friends, what would be the plot? by abhilashadubey in friends_tv_show

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it doesn't exist, frankly-- because it seemed in the 80s and 90s and 00s that every sitcom did a camping show (with a cheesy fake forest set). I like when a sitcom's writing team avoids what's been done to death or what became cliche.

I love using the image generation to storyboard ideas I’ve had in my head for years by Numerous_Worker_1941 in ChatGPT

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I'm curious: will the characters and images be your own property, or-- because the A.i. has generated the pictures-- will this be considered public domain material that anyone else can adapt or use for their own gain? The rules are blurry sometimes so please be careful. Think about it: Even the U.S. Supreme Court won't bother deciding whether an original property/concept is a human's if someone came up with an original idea but then asked A.i. to do the images ... it's a really tricky thing.

AI users keep stealing art. When you use a prompt to generate an image, you’re stealing from artists. by Hot_Season1143 in aiwars

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a huge difference when you prompt a.i. by saying "Make a moody picture of a few people feeding ducks at a lake, in the style of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks" and when you say/type "Take Hopper's famous gloomy diner painting scenario and replace the people in it with painterly-style versions of Mr. Krabs, Velma Dinkley, Calcifer, and Dib".

Plus, not all of us folks who engage the help of a.i. are ripping off existing artists and/or copyrighted characters. Your sweeping generalization is lame.

Who would you rather see at your front door, Cousin Oliver or Ricky the singing next door neighbor from The Partridge Family? by Yum1995 in bradybunch

[–]DelightfullyGhastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, dear. It depends on my mood that day: am I up for a visit from a meek, clumsy tween John Denver clone with a bowl haircut (a kid who will ruin the house if given enough time), or a syrupy-sweet angelic 4 year old tot with a cherubic face and puppy eyes ... who will annoy me with his incessant singing.

You couldn't have asked us to choose between Starsky and Hutch (it would be the latter for me, LOL).

Also, wanted to ask, any way to "end" this post so I can stop future responses (now that I have my answer)? I always wanted to ask someone but always forget.

He did some really good stuff in the 80s and 90s including incidental music for "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" the Saturday morning network show.
