Man, I had this on VHS and haven't thought about it in a long time! Such a fun movie with so many memorable scenes. The tree climbing, the tiger biting that guy's leg off... I need to see this again!
The funny thing is AI is not really mentioned in the rest of the article. I don't think any of the new technology being introduced has anything to do with AI.
I guess "AI" is just a synonym for "new stuff" now.
The "to dispense" instructions are interesting. Put a tube 3/4 of the way into the water, pinch it, and then "pull downward 12 to 18 inches"... good way to create a vacuum and start the siphon action without putting your mouth on the tube.
Yeah this game was great... I must have played it after other Sonic games had come out. I never knew this was his first appearance. Such a cool piece of history!
Did the car have windshield wipers that you had to turn on when you got mud on the windshield or am I mixing this up with a different game?
Recently watched this with my kids after not seeing it since being a kid myself. My pet theory is that it's about coping with the death of a grandparent. When the scientists take E.T. away and hook him up to all the machines, it's like the experience of seeing grandma or grandpa in intensive care with tubes, ventilators, etc. We see things through the kid's eyes and there is a vague sense that the scientists are supposed to be trying to keep E.T. alive, but it looks like they are killing him.
In the end, the beloved companion E.T. goes up into the sky but says he will always be with Elliot in a sense (my memories of this part are pretty vague, but I think there was some message along these lines). Maybe this is just my personal experience, but it really brought back memories of going to see my grandparents in hospitals that were kind of threatening to me as a kid, and the idea that your relative is up in heaven now.
Beautiful film with incredible direction by Godfrey Reggio and a Philip Glass score.
Apart from this film and the 2 sequels, I don't think I've seen anything else that attempts this kind of direct visual poetry without plot or really an explicit message.
I see it as an environmentalist film but I guess you could as easily see it as a tribute to humanity's accomplishments.
I'm sure there must be other films like this... Can anyone suggest any!
Edited to say Reggio is the director, not the cinematographer.
This thing is huge, it does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, has sharp angles, and its styling does not seem to target the sensible end of the market... It's like an industrial strength pedestrian destroyer.
"Republicans still haven't internalized that the Left promotes abortion as a pro-feminism issue. They aren't voting to kill babies, they're voting bc of feminist movies like Barbie and pop stars like Taylor Swift influencing an army of voters," Posobiec wrote.
If they are surprised about the connection between the abortion issue and women's rights... wow. Are they really racking their brains to figure out why "killing babies" is a popular position? How stupid are these people?
At the risk of sounding like a hopeless optimist... Wouldn't it make sense for the Republicans to nominate more of a centrist with promises to work on common ground with the Democrats (whatever narrow terrain that may consist of now) and thereby sideline the MAGA crew to irrelevancy?
Yeah they would take a lot of heat from Trump & co., but maybe they could actually pass something for their constituents.
Could all YouTubers everywhere please emulate this guy's style... no obnoxious edits, no "destroying" someone else's point of view.... he just calmly and methodically explains what he's done and what the issues are.
