So, for those of you not brave enough to Google "DP Movie" or who weren't watching the Swiftie Bowl, here ya go. Let the wild speculation and (hopefully fairly clean and Disney-friendly) begin!

Stealing that gif for many, many work purposes.

Playground AI can also use AI to expand on your prompts and come up with interesting stuff. Trying out some takes on DW with Playground v2's Fantasy Worlds preset: vs StableDiffusion XL with Masterpiece: Out of the two, #1's much closer to what I wanted, minus the hangover redeye, though #2 is probably going on my ParagonBumble profile. (and hey devs... I still want my jet bike flying mount when you get some time x x)

To a certain random player I saw on Excel yesterday... thanks for making me snort tea out of my nose. 🐇

It does help if you reinvent the movie at the same time. Nicholson's Joker and Keaton's Bat were iconic, and irreplaceable, in that particular series of flicks done in that particular style. Val Kilmer and George "Holy Bat-Nipples" Clooney didn't come close, and neither did DeVito, Carrey, Arnie or Uma: only the mighty Michelle Pfeiffer still lives on as THE Cat in our hearts, and in dark lurking corners of our minds. Nolan's Bat and Ledger's Joker are from tonally extremely different movies: they fit there in ways that they couldn't have in the earlier flicks, both from their performances and the way they were structured, so they stand on their own. (Again, Hardy's ridiculous Bane - and much as I love her everywhere else, Hathaway's tame lil' kittycat do not make the Bat-pantheon.) And I don't think anyone thought the trick could be pulled off again, especially with sparkly emo-boi Robert Pattinson. But again, we have a different film - very much a detective film, with a newly fledged and unsure Bat growing across his first real adventure. Backed up by a spiky Kravitz and an almost unrecognisable Colin Farrell, again, there is a new Bat. And there'll be another in the New DCU. If the story is strong, and it brings something new to the character for the actors to play with, things we've not seen before, yes, we can have new people in those roles. If it's just another sequel, or reboot or retread... you might find yourself wishing they hadn't bothered.

Even if he's a Decepticat, still a cat.😻

Tony Montana as the prime dealer of Girl Scout Mint Thins. (...no, zero connection with COH, but I made this and it made me laugh)

Oh look, I'm a collectible. ...and here's the MS template for it. (Tip: it doesn't like the word superheroine, because it contains a banned word related to the drug. Clearly it ain't AI about everything. Specify Superhero, female.) https://designer.microsoft.com/image-creator?p=Funko+figure+of+[an+activity+or+role]%2C+[female+or+male]%2C+called+[Name]%2C+wearing+a+[specific+clothes+and+glasses]%2C+[specific+hair]+and+has+[accessories].+Holding+a+[something].+The+Funko+is+displayed+inside+a+Funko+box+with+[text]+text+and+[logo]+logo+for+the+box%2C+allowing+visibility+of+the+figure%2C+typography%2C+3D+render

Industry wonk note: DJ switched agencies from William Morris to Creative Artists right after the first trailer dropped. And, given the Adrien-Brody-level run of luck with flicks she's had after the awful-but-awfully-lucrative 50 Shades trilogy ($1.2bn between 'em), I think the words "final straw" may have been used at some point. So let's take a look at it... So it looks like an attempt to do a time-twisting Tenet story in Spider-garb, with at least one GRIMDARKNOSMILESNOPARENTS Spider-Man as the antagonist. And either the trailer's cutting is ...not great... or they dropped it with half-done CGI, and the plot threads do not feel well spun. It's certainly gonna live or die by CGI. And from interviews I'm not sure DJ was terribly comfortable with all the green screen stuff. Pretending a green tennis ball on a stick is a TERRIFYING MONSTER because your writer tells you it is requires good direction and framing, which involving storytellers like Favreau, Spielberg and Patty Jenkins are all known to be good at. As for that director: SJ Clarkson is... well, let's say fresh meat to the Hollyweird grinder, turning out very decent BBC and HBO dramas before this. Helming a CGI-heavy cape flick for a desperate, dying studio is probably not the way you wanna get your first cred on your CV. Having been through that in a much smaller way, I have an inkling I know how she feels right now, and probably never wants to see the inside of a Burbank office again.

From what I've been reading on the socials, he does also seem to have been an absolute trouper. From Sarah Watson (Parenthood TV series' writer)... EDIT: I also like that Carl did so many games and voiceworks over the years... ....I wonder if they gave him the action figures?

James Brown - Living In America (ft. Carl Weathers)

Haven't got round to watching either season yet, but do love me a bit of Hamill. (And Headey too.)

Ever heard of Sheb Wooley? You may not have heard the name, but you've definitely heard him. Aside from being the vocalist on novelty track Purple People Eater, he's the most-credited uncredited V/O artist in history... I'm not sure folks outside the UK will be able to see this, but it made me laugh. If access to iPlayer is allowed where you are, the whole story's over heeeeeaaaarrgghh.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p07p5l6y/inside-cinema-shorts-12-the-wilhelm-scream

Peaches & Herb - Shake Your Groove Thing 💃

...but we're not the same...

Nobody would have believed, in the opening years of the 21st Century, that human affairs were being played like a video game from the timeless worlds of space... ...although given the reality show finale the world's turning into, I wouldn't have been surprised. Yep, very impressed if this is a pre-alpha, though the humans are currently getting less animation love than the aliens. I think I'm probably too much of a nervous disposition to be watching this, let alone playing it...

There is an awful lot of Wanda fandom out there in dedicated corners of the interwebs - slightly mad bunch even by my standards. Ms Marvel... less so, but she does have her following. Speaking of which: while Hawkeye was a fun little thing at the time, nobody's talking about Renner or Stanfield. And Black Widow... less than memorable. But there are endless, endless Flo Pugh/Yelena fan threads and memes. Just casually walked into both of those projects, stole every scene that wasn't nailed down, made Kraft dinner and wandered off again. Some characters just catch fire, and it's down to writing and performance. Speaking of that - and recasting... can you imagine Iron Man as anyone other than RDJ these days?

Whom Gods Destroy - In The Name Of War

Feeling fairly proud of teaching my IT crew the term "PIC/NIC error". Not sure if I'm proud that our users haven't twigged what it means yet and adjusted accordingly. .

Personally: I laughed my backside off, and I'd quite like to see Tatiana and co back in animated form, in non-Hulked guest shots on other series, or in Thunderbolts if that ever happens. But I didn't expect an S2. The CGI cost was just way too much for the likely audience size of this series - even for Mando and Andor $200m+ for a limited series is pushing it. They could have lampshaded it by having Jen fully played by her Amazonian body model, and being even more freaked out by her appearance in the mirror. (I actually kinda know someone 6'5" with not dissimilar features, if they're casting - or at least close enough to bridge the gap with makeup and prosthetics.) As it is, it's a fun little curio in the MCU, and they should be proud of trying all this different stuff. Though maybe keep a closer eye on the budget...
