I used to think the same thing about people falling in love with AI. It seemed so obvious that nobody would seriously do that; it'd be so self-destructive. Now cybernetics don't seem so far fetched either.
It's really a good showcase of how CGI should augment practical effects, not replace them. Fury Road is another good example.
I've never heard of anyone else who's seen Ladyhawke. Everyone I've shown it to hated it, but there's something I love about it. The sets, locations, costumes, dialogue, all great. The transformations they tried to do on-screen are my least favorite part, though.
Don't forget they lost Best Costume to Planet Of The Apes because the mimes they hired to play the monkeys were so convincing they were assumed by many to be real.
I watched the Netflix series and then the Making Of show about it. Apparently they tried CGI gelflings to cut costs and just couldn't live up to the puppetry, so eventually Netflix relented and gave them enough budget to match Henson's original quality.
Too bad he's leaving... It was nice while it lasted.
Gorgeous!
I just watched this scene for the first time. I couldn't take it seriously because I kept thinking of the guy screaming, "Splitters!" from Monty Python's Life of Brian.
I'm fully prepared to take it down in a year or two because it turned into a filthy rain cloud. But until then it sure does give off some nice light and makes for an interesting piece to look at.
I wish more people had this attitude. So many people won't start a project because it may not be perfect. I'm certainly guilty of it sometimes. But the world is so much better for having these creations, even if they may not last forever.
Awesome build! Making it into a removable drop-ceiling was genius.
I heard the dev didn't intend for those to stack and it's nerfed in the next patch.
I think about this a lot for real. If you go to a park and toss a rock in the lake you are most likely the first person to ever touch that rock, and you're almost guaranteed to be the last. It's a weird sensation that I can't explain.
Wanted a loaded hot dog but found out half way through we only had mini-dogs.
Mini hotdogs and cheddar cheese broiled on a hotdog bun. Loaded up with rice, broccoli, oyster sauce, and Sriracha.
Ended up being delicious. A real hotdog would have been better; the minis kept falling out or moving with each bite. I'd put the Sriracha under the rice next time. It mostly ended up smearing on my face.

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.
Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.
As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.
I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.
He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.

I was about to say the opposite. They somehow made it uglier.
