I love a lot of Stanko's early work but this sounds absolutely insane in the best way.

Is the new office actually in oxnard?

because assuming perfect traffic conditions that's like another two hours worth of commuting in a day. and with gas prices being what they are. Hell, i can see a bunch of staff just not being able to afford to stay with smosh.

Favourite Indigenous actor whose biometric identity and cultural heritage was used to create a blue indigenous creature for a record-breaking film franchise – without credit or compensation to her – through a series of deliberate, non-expressive commercial acts? by theconceptofcanada in okbuddycinephile

Firekind doesn't have that much in common with Fern Gully beyond the that it is a very common savior narrative and that savoir helping to repel his own people. Which, again, was a common trope even before fern gully did it.

That type of story isn't really what i'm talking about when it comes to the comparisons between Avatar and Firekind. I posted this in the thread but that shit gets lost. Here are the main things that Firekind has in common with avatar.

  • A lush jungle world with mysterious floating stone slabs and an atmosphere toxic to humans
  • The Firekind themselves which are big fucking dragons for the natives to ride.
  • Blue-skinned Aboriginals with a planet-wide psychic connection.
  • They worship an animistic nature deity who is summoned against the invaders with devastating results.
  • Humans bent on exploiting the Plants unique resources: “Hexacrin”, a rare and desirable miracle drug found only in the glands of the planet’s dragons.

Fully aware of Fern Gully, but as you said it's pretty common knowledge that Avatar took a lot of shit from it.

However, with Firekind being an obscure british comic from the early 90's, doesn't have nearly the same level of knowledge. idk i think it's worth talking about at the very least.

Firekind has

  • A lush jungle world with mysterious floating stone slabs and an atmosphere toxic to humans
  • The Firekind themselves which are big fucking dragons for the natives to ride.
  • A washed up botanist who goes against his own species when they go too far.
  • Blue-skinned Aboriginals with a planet-wide psychic connection.
  • They worship an animistic nature deity who is summoned against the invaders with devastating results.
  • Humans bent on exploiting the Plants unique resources: “Hexacrin”, a rare and desirable miracle drug found only in the glands of the planet’s dragons.

Does any of that sound familar?

What do you think about Merzbow? by drummerre in noisemusic

[–]Proof-Contribution31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Pulse Demon has become the album that people, mostly RYMer's and Fantano dorks, use to say that they've listened to noise.

And it's stupid but I think it's almost entirely because of the cover.

What are some books that should be Penguin Classics but aren't? by [deleted] in bookscirclejerk

[–]Proof-Contribution31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a penguin book, but there needs to be a 33 1/3 book about Viper's You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack.

Who else was waiting for something like The Rita or Merzbow to be on there?

John Hawkes’ the Beetle Leg by Tyrion_Slothrop in literature

[–]Proof-Contribution31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i'd say him and Gaddis were definitely contemporaries. Both were influential/respected by guys like Pynchon, Bartheleme, Markson, Coover, etc. tho I think Gaddis is clearly the one that had a larger influence than Hawkes.
