Absolutely. I most recently saw her in The Night Before and I laughed my face off during her last scene.

Not to mention Inside Out, a personal favorite of mine.

You know what I hate most about reality TV?
It's all the idiots being celebs just to BE celebs.

They're not being famous for anything in particular, they're contributing nothing to culture, they're the equivalent of an empty fastfood wrapper that just gets discarded and pollutes the environment: Very visible, utterly useless, and nobody can really completely get rid of them.

That includes people who USED to be actors or performers but then just decided to be reality stars- judges on talent competitions, actors who participate in reality shows, Ozzy Osbourne etc.


It's funny and tragic the way television accelerated its demise by indulging in those shows.

Be crazy if someone wrote the Drunkduck reality show. If we locked the admins into a house, how long before they kill each other?
An imaginary film crew following them around getting the details of their day and staging fake fights and dramatic arguments.
And of course Banes getting his weekly grooming. A lot of upkeep for that coat of fur.

I would explode in a brown stinky cloud of hypocrisy XD

This is the closest we ever got… https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/Top_Drawer_High/

LOL, anyway, it'd be more interesting if all the DDers were there.

The high school predates me but I loved reading it.

We all want to see the admins. Keep us plebians out of it. 🤣😅

Though others could have guest roles. 😉

I think I know my main issue with AI "art" created by most non-artists: The lack of intention.
That is MASSIVE for me personally. When I create everything is there for a reason, everything took thought.

Imagery created without intent is actually revolting to me. I find it vile and disgusting, because art is about communication. And that is what prompted AI is delivering: It gives you the equivalent of a bunch of generic cliches which you don't have any specific control over.

It reminds of when I was a really young kid doing art in school… preschool and grade 1. Some kids would draw the usual flowers, stick figure pictures of their "parents" or houses with square windows, and get lots of praise because it was generic and expected and the flowers would have nice colours. I found that so frustrating because I'd be drawing pictures of actual things with meaning to convey about what they were, rather than just reproducing a bunch of expected cliches. XD
(Though I didn't think of it in those terms!)

It wasn't till about grade 3 when it finally clicked-
The class had all seen a dead beached whale on the shore together and the teacher asked us to draw it. My picture and one by this girl who was popular in class were both chosen as the best ones.
She was a nasty bully so I was perturbed that she got chosen along with me. Her's was an expected, colourful picture, all done on the one plane with the typical hierarchical perspective (more important things are big, less important are smaller), all figures from front on only. Mine was a complex picture that showed the actual scene of the whale being moved by the front end loader, showing where the ocean was in relation to the class etc. using rough one point perspective.

The best part was that the teacher showed both pictures to the entire class and said of the girl's: "This picture is good for a little child's drawing."
Then held up mine and said: "But THIS is good for an adult. This was how it really looked, it's more like a photo."

The fact that she was a bully made that such a sweet moment. The "little child" remark really cut her.

You know what, it never matters what Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is anymore, because year after year, spring just keeps coming earlier and earlier regardless of what his prediction is because of Climate Change. Even now, springlike weather is in the forecast for the majority of the next two weeks, because God forbid we can ever have a normal February anymore.

Amazing origin story, Ozone.
Plot twist: the bully became the one behind stable diffusion. A fight to the death is inevitable.

Silly Punxsutawney Phil's predictions are only applicable to the Northeastern US. Up here we just had snow flurries the last two days and the temperatures are going down to single digits. Phil is only a groundhog and not responsible for anywhere west of the Appalachian mountains. Need another groundhog maybe in the Midwest somewhere for an accurate prediction. 🤣

Isn't that the groundhog from Groundhog day? Wouldn't it be long dead by now?
Is he a vampire??

The post is hereditary. They leave out the Roman numeral for brevity. If I remember correctly there have been female Punxsutawney Phil's.
I am reliably informed by my stuffed animals that the stunt groundhog in the movie was actually a beaver named Bucky. 🤣

That explains a lot O_O

Ah, America- home to giant squirrels and rats in New York, horse sized Elks they call Moose, with colossal antlers, Giant dears which they call Elks, Giant Bison which they call Buffalo, Bizarre Beavers that build dams and eat trees, groundhogs that dig masses of burrows, racoons which talk and use their hands, snakes with baby rattles on their tails, eagles with white heads, Big stnky toothy aligators down south, small muscular big cats they have a million different names for, super gigantic brown bears they call Grizzlies, the biggest of which they call Kodiaks, White polar bears in the north, and so much more…


And they think the animals here in Australia and strange and deadly XD XD XD
LOL no. Compared to the US Australia is a haven of peace filled with stuffed animals who love you.

A moose isn't a deer. It's a giant dark wall with legs and a full radar and ECM array on their heads.

North America used to be all out to kill you but with millions and millions of people running around with guns, humans have the big scary animals on notice. Passenger pigeons once blacked out the skies. Bison covered the land. Then came lots of Americans with guns. Wiped all them out and now we shoot at each other. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Not enough people in Australia to do that. And most of Australia is downright inhospitable whatever the critters may do.

The most deadly animal by far in the UK is the cow. Almost everyone assumes they are harmless and for that I blame Emintrude from the Magic Roundabout, but in reality they are cold blooded killers. Can't say I blame them considering the treatment they get from us.

True, Humans are more dangerous in the USA XD
Yeah, you're right about the relative population VS animals and environment. Any deaths here from those factors are more significant…
And there are a few each year… spider bites, snakes, sharks, venomous sea life (fish, shells, octupi), crocodiles, bees,ants, even kangaroos, cassowaries, and wild dog packs of dingo hybrids.
And getting lost in the outback is usually a death sentence.

In fact a girl was killed in the local river by a shark on the weekend. It was pretty tragic.

There's an interesting pop-culture trope about nature-wise indigenous people being able to survive easily in the dead heart of Australia where white people will die, which is actually completely false. Most of the people who fall afoul of the dangers out there ARE the indigenous people because many tend to live in remote areas where it's easier to come in contact with that stuff and it's further from rescue services and hospitals. :(

Cows, horses, goats, dogs, and sheep are surprisingly deadly! All kill, despite what anyone says.
I got trampled by a big young steer once. Lucky I got away with only bruises, but it was pretty scary!

All the posters for the new Black Panther movie super suuuuck… SOOOOOOOOo boring.

It's an action comicbook film, I don't want to see a bunch of people standing around looking in different directions. It looks like a album cover for a woman's gospel band. DULL!
Dull dull dull dull!
I hate it.

It deserves a better cover!

Movie posters have sucked in the past twenty years or so, but apparently, simplicity is the way to go for advertising in general . . . guess people are supposedly too mind-numbed to be able to handle visually-interesting/engaging ad products.

Probably since posters of many "recent" superhero films are generally just as much about generating hype and discussion as the trailers. Find your favorite characters, look for clues, etc. Promotional value in a different sense. One could do a hefty collection from alternative movie posters and book covers made by fans that just look so much more interesting or cretive than the ones out there, I'm surprised one can't hear about projects where studios and publishers involve fans in a form of contest to produce more. I remember Sigur Rós had a project where fans were allowed to make music videos for their songs and they presented several in a film. That was refreshing.

I just rewatched Scream the other night. Looks like February is starting to feel a lot like October.
