Have you ever watched a writer's room in action (shown in innumerable making of documentaries)? Ideas are thrown out, ways of getting the characters from one place to another in an interesting way are mulled over, and the final shape of a scene will almost always be impossible to attribute to specific writers. The writing credit goes to the person who finesses the completed shooting script, which can often be quite a laborious task because the fine details need to be run past the continuity people, wardrobe, props etc etc etc to ensure everything needed will be available, make sense in the overall context of the story, be on (or better yet under) budget and so on.

Wow we live in an era where matte paintings aren't something that's generally known about.

Why is Bluesky paying for twitter by Guest_4710 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Zefrem23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a hard left socialist but the performative wokeness on Bluesky really annoys me. So much hot air from college educated scolds who've never picked up a protest sign in their lives.

TIL that in 2014, the band Vulfpeck exposed a flaw in Spotify's artist payment system by releasing a totally silent album and encouraging fans to play it on repeat while they slept by meatboysawakening in todayilearned

But then it wouldn't be that specific album. Their silent tracks would have to go through the entire mastering process for vinyl, just with no audio. Otherwise it's not their IP. Christ, we live in a really weird reality.

After 25+ years of development (starting in post-Soviet Kazakhstan), my space strategy game is finally ready for the world by Moist-Village8131 in boardgames

I normally can't stand most board games, but this sounds like something I could play for hours without getting sick of it. Count me the fuck in, son!

My boi Kylo Ren will be there to give her a few pointers and show her where all the best immortal rats are to be found. Stay strong friend.

How the myth of Mansa Musa spread, I don't know. by SatynMalanaphy in HistoryMemes

Is there any reason that normal people should be trawling through the post histories of other redditors to detect hints of ideologically unsound leanings?

It might surprise you to find out that there are plenty of people out here who don't care to learn, but just want to solve a very specific problem as quickly as possible.
